I have moon in cancer. I'm so domestic its not even funny, but I'm also very ambitious, and I love my freedom. With my love interest, I want to take care of them, and vice versa. But I do give them their space because I need mine as well. I'm sensitive to them, but I can't explain why. I guess I should read more about the female crab. In the meantime, would love to hear how other cancer mooners are when in love!

This is from cafeastrology.com:

This is the most subjective position of the Moon. The Moon is "at home" in the sign of Cancer, as the Moon is the natural ruler of the sign.
Moon in Cancer natives have a large potential to be able to get in touch with the feelings and moods of others. Often, they are quite wrapped up in themselves. Their memories of the past are outstanding, especially for all things emotional. Moon in Cancer people are never detached—they cling to things, their home, and people they care for. They seek out security and familiarity in all they do. They look for peace and quiet. Their attachment to all that is safe means they are a little leery of change.

These peace-loving souls dislike superficiality in all of its forms. They are devoted and accommodating. The insecure ones accumulate things in an attempt to feel secure.

Because of their strong attachment to, and memory of, the past, others may complain that Moon in Cancer natives tend to whip a dead horse. They may dwell on hurts long after everyone else has moved on. When they feel they have been taken for granted (which may be often!), they don't always confront others directly. This is when they can use roundabout ways to get your attention. In fact, these natives, when they are insecure, can become quite manipulative. They can also be victims of habit.

These people can have a hard time compartmentalizing their lives, simply because their watery Moon tends to know no boundaries. Sometimes, as a result, they may act irrationally.

One of the most delightful characteristics of Moon in Cancer people is their loony sense of humor. These people can be extraordinarily funny. Their moodiness can baffle others, but their unique outlook on life is something most people can appreciate.

When treated with tenderness and understanding, Moon in Cancer natives return the favor with warmth and protection. Give them security, and you'll take the crabbiness out of the Crab, at least for awhile.

These people are wonderfully dependable overall, despite their occasional mood swings. Make a friend of Moon in Cancer, and you will be taken care of for life.

I used to have a friend with Moon in Cancer, who grew to represent the most negative qualities of this placement. She was highly manipulative, dishonest, moody to the extreme and took clinginess to a whole new level. I literally spent every single minute of the day with her. Every single one of her boyfriends left her because she was just too moody and clingy. They all said that there was something seriously wrong with her.

I felt really bad about doing this, but I had to end the friendship because I just couldn't stand the ridiculous mood swings (she'd cry and scream one minute and literally smile and laugh the next minute).
