4th house Cancer Moon here...yes, I become very attached to my partners and find it difficult to let go of them. I have never been the one to end a relationship because of this.

I've also got a 5th house Mars in Leo, an Aries Ascendant and four planets in Scorp, so that jealous and possessive aspect surfaces from time to time, as well.

I really do love my Moon placement, but there have been a couple of times when I have wished that I could've had been born with a Moon that would allow me to move on and release more quickly.

My Sun (Aries) in the 11th opposite my Uranus (Libra) in the 5th really takes away from the cancer clinginess. Sometimes I view relationships as a death sentence and strongly insist on living my life and having my freedom. Most of the time I feel strongly Uranian/Aquarian. I have MC and North Node in Aquarius too.

My last boyfriend was an Aquarian with a cancer moon - he seemed more cancerlike than anything. He would phone me 50 million times each day...day after day and want to see me everyday too. I got to the point where I was really needing to recharge my batteries and go off into my solitude. He then got all panick striken cause he thought I was gonna dump him.....

Feelings of possessiveness or jealousy rarely do rear it's ulgy head. I usually go with the flow and let things lie, untill something is brought to my attention or seems highly unusual. Then I will dissect it and figure stuff out.

I only tend to want to cling to those I can't have...but I don't cling because then I feel like a loser because when I can't stand on my own two feet and feel alright. So I don't cling to people, and would rather be free than dependant on someone else to fill me up. But it is very important to me that I feel SAFE and VALUED in a relationship of any sort. That is of the utmost importance.

um, well yea i'm quite clingy in relationships, i'm usually the one that wants to "caretake" for the other person and too nurturing at times (venus/IC sextile ceres in 2nd)

Cancer moon in the 8th. Clingy and steady, but not really too jealous. Can relate to wanting steady partner thing, and ditto on liking fire moons. My man is a double aries-2nd house. sun and moon.

I would describe myself as an incurable romantic (sigh) with a tendency to be clingy in most relationships (love or otherwise). I'm aware of this fact and have tried to counter this by being more self sufficient (probably my capricorn ascendant). I've also been very cautious so far and haven't had any 'real' love/romantic relationships thus far. That said, I'm still forever hoping for 'true love' to come my way. The only thing I'm afraid of is that I might scare someone off with what I perceive is my 'emotional neediness'.

Alas, is there hope for this Aquarian?

i'm not clingy, but my thoughts are a split second away from my loved one.

My daughter has a cancer moon in the 12th. She's not clingy at-all and her ascendant is cancer/ I always felt robbed because she never seemed to need me.

psssst. I'm a virgo, i adore being needed.

I'm not actually a clingy person which very much surprises me with a cancer moon in the 12th plus cancer ascendant. I'm actually very proud and non-clingy. However I do get very attached to those I love and I'm fiercely loyal. But not clingy. I don't need to know where my hubby is or what he's doing cos I'm happy doing my own thing.

However I do have uranus and pluto and mars in the fourth house so this might account for my independent nature.

Don't get me wrong though. The cancer influences are there. I'm a sucker for my kids (any kids!) And secretly I'm a softie. But shhhh don't tell anyone it'll do my tough reputation no good!!!!!!!!!!

My Cancer Moon is in my 3rd House. I'm best when the person I'm hanging with is making an effort to be there for me when my moods are low. When my mood is not low, I've got helping after helping of support and kindness in return. My Moon wants very much to be understood, but when I'm having a little trouble expressing myself or describing how I feel, or if I'm being misunderstood due to my words or actions, it really bothers me.

When I feel like they are making decisions based on my real feelings, I am comfortable with whatever actions they take. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

When I was much younger, my Moon would get the best of me, clouding my perception of myself and others, making waves when there's no need to.

Deep down, all Cancer Mooners feel jealousy and a need for reassurance, sometimes voraciously. For me it's similar to not wanting to feel left out of the party, or the loop. Sort of how an Gemini or Aquarius needs that social contact, except the Cancer Moon doesn't always know how to take the first step.

Also important, Natal Aspects to the Moon. Opposite my Saturn in Capricorn and part of my T-Square, it can make me look like I don't give a damn. I've never been comfortable with my Moon, but I realize I need to take the time to honor my feelings rather than act the fool and regret it later.

As long as I'm reflecting myself they way I had intended, I'm accepting of how others interpret me. You can't control what others think of you. The Cancer Mooner has to know when their feelings end and when other's free will begin.

Obviously respect for boundaries has to be observed as in any relationship.

Not always a bad thing.

I like sentimentality and loyalty.

Yes, you can say that but to a certain extend, although I tend to nurture I also want the other person to have his own individuality, if he can not be a productive complete being on his own and I have to babysit then I loose respect and move on.
If he is a whole then I like to nurture him and I get clingy and you can say dependent on him, although I know I can function on my own I still like him to be the man and make decisions for us.

My 10 yr old has a moon in Cancer as well and he does attach to me more than my 12 yr old.
