For some people I think it works out wonderfully. My best friend is a Gem-Cap and married a Cap-Cancer. They are a "perfect fit." I consider them to be a model couple. I know they'll be together forever...true soulmates.

My experience...not so perfect and rosy. Intense, volatile, intoxicating. All-consuming. As I've said before, I lost myself. Literally...gone for a while...living in someone else's world. No boundaries. No limitations. No inhibitions. No "grounding." It felt like dreamland, which was most definitely a wonderful feeling...like ecstasy, but not reality. Not only was the breakup "difficult" as they typically are, but I felt like I was viciously JOLTED awake from an all too perfect dream. I had to not only adjust to the loss of the person, but I had to find reality, and find MYSELF again afterwords. And no...still not over it. I do ok until I have a dream about him...then I'm ruined for days. My dreams are vivid, and so many times they leave a lingering effect.

So, my advice to you...tread carefully. You can't just go "hunting" for a Cancer sun either. The feeling is certainly not there with everyone who is a solar match to your moon. The man I talked about in the above paragraph was born literally 10 days before another man I had dated a year prior. The only difference in their charts were the moons and venus. But the differences in my connection to each of them were astronomical.

However, after some time, it became very, VERY difficult to see the relationship objectively. The entire thing was like a dream. I felt like I was losing who I was, and it got worse the more time I spent with him. I couldn't step back far enough to see what was really going on, and it wasn't until a very painful breakup that I could rebuild my own identity.

"Conjunct planets are at the alpha omega point where cycles begin and end. This creates urgency, emphasis, unity and fusion. It's a very subjective state of energy, strong-headed and one-tracked. Impulses will be acted out. We're looking at an inauguration, a blending, a start. This is the most intense and personal of all the aspects. Close interactions are likely. We're talking about synthesis, solidarity and cohesion. A conjunction resonates with Mars, Cardinal, Fire and Aries energy."

Also note that the moon does not necessarily mean dreamy. It actually denotes MOODS. As humans ours encompass a wide range. So the MOON can manifest many things from nurturing, dreamy to paranoid, lonely and irrational. This is--among, other things (aspects and upbringing) how a serial murderer can have a seemingly "innocuous" pisces or libra moon but be deadly virulent and evil.

from cafe astrology:

Grant Lewi, in Astrology for the Millions, offered the most evocative description of the Moon when he wrote the following: "When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth." (1)

With respect to the other luminary (the Sun), the Moon infuses the past into our lives through the feelings, while the Sun reflects the present or the "here and now".

When we are "acting out" our Moon, we are imaginative, creative, intuitive, sentimental, adaptable, introspective, and protective. On the negative side, we can be moody, restless, and irrational.

Having said that. I do not like anyone's Moon sitting on top of my moon or sun. I find it suffocating and relentless. Others crave that intimacy and it is very intimate.

We knew what each other wanted 5 minutes before we actually wanted it...

It's nice but the ruts in the road are harder to get out of...via the trine...
I agree about the "familiar breeding contempt"
IMO an Aries Moon for either a Cancer or Virgo is a toughy..

The nodes are very powerful too. I didn't start researching them until after that relationship ended, and it turned out that his NN was conjunct my sun, and my SN was conjunct his sun. His moon was conjunct my venus too (Scorpio), and I think that one may have sealed the deal. Intensity personified.

I remember one night while I was sitting with him my mind wandered back to thoughts of my family and I was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness and guilt. I realized in that moment that I had been blocking out everyone and everything in my life since I had met him. That isn't healthy, and I knew it.

I was thinking about this earlier, and I think one of the biggest celebrity couple examples to show the malfunction of the moon conjunction are Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. Before Brad, Aniston was a huge star in her own right. After Brad, she was ALWAYS associated with him. They even began to LOOK alike. She seemed to lose herself in him. Since they broke up, if you've noticed, it has been extremely difficult for her to grasp her own identity again. Since it was his sun and her moon, it is likely that over time he got a feeling that she was too dependent on him...too needy. He has since moved on to Angelina Jolie who herself has a compatible fire moon to his fire sun, but it is in a different sign. The trine creates harmony between them, but not a complete merger. He probably enjoys this more because she still retains her individuality and independence.

That's my take on it anyway...

Moon-to-Moon, I have with a friend of mine. I don't think its really that intense or intimate. Its comfortable, but the friendship really leaves alot to be desired....like understanding (there really is none).
