I often read that Cancer moons love and are very close to their mothers but at the same time are subject to emotional blackmail from them. I honestly can't ever imagine suffocating or emotionally blackmailing my kid. Then again, he's only 5 and a half, so there's still time!!! Admittedly, I'm a bossy cow and Daniel is manipulative at times but he is without a doubt, the most balanced relationship I've ever had in my life!!!!!

I absolutely adore my son. Love him to bits. He is THE most caring child. I have 2 other sons. One is a Capricorn (cusp with Sag) and the other is a Sag with Leo moon and Scorpio rising (Lordy Lordy!)

My mother plays a very important role in my life and quite frankly, I am "mommy's little girl", now and forever.

How do I explain it (my relationship with my mother...)?

I am deeply loyal to my loved one's, especially my mother. I am a passive person but there is nothing on earth that makes me flare up than witnessing any unkindness on my mother. I am biased to my mother and I will stand a lot of things from her that other mortals can not get away with.

Also, I feel like she is the only person on earth that loves me unconditionally. We are more like siblings than anything, but we have certain boundaries that keep her a parent and I a child...

Sometimes we swap roles, actually, many times we swap roles where I have to be her parent, but it's not as if she is irresponsible, it is just that we are truly there for each other when we need each other, without any expectations or boundaries.

We fight, but it's more like we irritate each other sometimes.

Moral of the story is: Mess with my mother and i turn Ninja on you. I am more demonstrative than she. And, when all fails, my mom really does make everything better. i dunno how she does it. She is a Libra Sun, btw... and just being in her presence is magical and I am highly protective of that.

Well, seeing that the 12th House's natural Ruler is Pisces (Neptune), and Pisces and Cancer are harmonious, I would say that a person with this on their chart tends to be very well acquainted with their subconscious, and their feelings on a conscious level are not countering their feelings on the sub-conscious and "dreamy" level.

He might be emotional and sensitive but at least he is not schizoid where he finds himself doing things that he didn't know he was doing at the time. But... I think this placement signifies a highly spiritual person, not in terms of knowing a lot per se about esoteric arts, but more like "Just Knowing" certain things that the rest of us must learn.

He is a shy one also, or he has his moments of living in his head a bit, preferring his thoughts than the trouble of talking.

So, to speculate, I would say that this person tends to have deep connections to people in general, and more so with family or with those in their domestic vicinity.

I would have to see the mother's chart to be honest, to see how his Cancer Moon reacts with his mother's planets... but I think on a general note, it is safe to say that this guy would be very protective of his loved one's and also easily hurt by them too because there is a heightened sensitivity that he has, which could be great but similarly destructive because this sensitivity comes with vulnerability.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that this guy has a way of talking to his mother almost on a telepathic level where they really don't have to say much to each other to communicate.

But I am just speculating. I think more skilled astrologers would answer your questions better than I. Also, I think just one aspect is not enough to talk much about this.

Usually the 4th House has to do with family and such because it's natural rules is Cancer, so his other houses and other placements would need to be explored.

i don't know about his family dynamic very well but he OBVIOUSLY loves them and feels close to them (and, probably, his mother too). it's really THERE in the way he talks about them, his affection for, and connection to, them. he doesn't seem particularily shy about this affection either, but he's not 100% on his birth time, so his cancer moon could be in his first, or 11th. he's gonna get it for me soon.
