We all know what a lovely sign Cancer is..

So I'd like to know what are some of the specific differences between Sun in Cancer and Moon in Cancer ?

What do they have in common ?

From my experience, Sun in Cancer people are very courageous, have lots of stamina, not always that kind and sometimes they are just fun to be around drama queens( especially girls).. It's easy for them to express their love.

Moon in cancer people are really protective and they are a lot more emotional, they always want to do something for you, but there is something melancholic in the way they attach themselves to people and the past that prevents them from being as strong-willed as Sun in cancer. They feel vulnerable and resentful when they express their feelings.

I think that you have nailed it there. Moon in cancer is probably the most complicated of water moons.

I am a cancer moon and so I experience bouts of emotions that cannot be rationaly explained.

Relationships are always challenging for me; a pull between protecting myself and considering the other person "alien" and opening myself up to the other person without worrying if they'll hurt me.

The most successful relation that a cancer moon can have is with someone who has also a cancer moon or a moon in Taurus; atleast from my experience.

A scorpio moon is wonderful at first, but the relations can swing from being best of friends one minute to being "I just don't want to be with you anymore". TRhe feelings can get too intense to be constructive in the long-term. Unless you like that kind of dynamic...


A pisces moon will require 24-hour maintenace in the form of support and a shoulder to cry on. My patience did run low for my Pisces lunar friend who liked to get himself into a pickle and then wonder waht happened.This is also quite a good match actualy, the downside was that my feelings of despair and self-pity knew no end....

Sun in Cancer: excellent sense of humor! Intelligent, reliable, loyal, sweet. Somewhat moody, but generally, their emotions are quite stable (or perhaps they don't show their mood changes very often). I notice they tend to love history or science and often have culinary talent.

Moon in Cancer: VERY moody. A former friend of mine would laugh one minute and would literally cry the next minute despite no one actually provoking her. The less evolved ones have lots of temper tantrums and expect you to take care of them because THEIR feelings are so much more important than everyone else's. They also like holding grudges, playing the victim and manipulating those around them The evolved ones, however, are nurturing, protective, kind, sympathetic, excellent cooks and loving.

Perhaps my description of the moon in Cancer is biased. I have a Capricorn moon and I absolutely do not like people who are too emotional and want to be babied. I also can't stand people over the age of 5 who throw temper tantrums every hour.

Most of the Cancer moons I know are unevolved. I can only think of one that chooses to exhibit the positive side of their sign.

S-K, u are spot on in your descriptions. I could not have described it better myself.

I have my sun, mars & mercury in cancer but sun & mars are actually on the cusp in the 3rd house of gemini and my moon is in libra, so i'm probably a lot more independent than most cancers but yeah, cancer sun's are definitely the way you described them, absolutely they're courageous.

My younger brother, who's 4yrs younger than me and who's bday is 6 days after mine is a double cancer sun&moon and he's always been described as the soft one, incredibly sensitive, girls love him cos he's so kind and genuine and everyone describes him as a "good kid". The slightest bad or negative thing said about him and he's devastated and withdraws and isolates himself. Cousins have even mentioned that fact that he might be gay but that's not true at all.

At the moment, he's going thru some financial problems, and we all know cancers need security, particularly financial and cos he's been broke, has totally withdrawn and turned into a total a$$hole, he's so unapproachable and just gives off a massive "EFF OFF" vibe and is constantly in a melancholy mood, we had a massive fight back in June just before our bdays and said some pretty nasty things to each other and i dont think he's forgiven me ever since. Not only that, but he's the type who makes you crawl for his forgiveness even though it makes u feel like, 1cm tall.

Its quite sad, because we used to be so close, like twins even we were so alike. He was like that softer, gentle side of me completely personified in male form. Ive always been the tough little hellcat who's always protected her little bro, but my Aries ASC may have something to do with that as well.

So yeah, id say your 100% correct on that one

The Sun is proactive, and the moon reactive, so the Moon will be more demanding.

I've had two Leo-Cancer friends I've had to cut loose - The girlie was overwhelmingly manipulative. The guy said the wrong thing to me on the wrong day. And am on the cusp of making another. Sadly, I think I'll pass. And there were two other with whom friendship/acquaintanceship never got off the ground despite really nice progressed synastry...although we have mutual friends.

Gemini-Cancer really rubs me the wrong way. Insults me, but gets weepy and hurt when the shoe goes on the other foot. I don't like to think of myself as vindictive, but sometimes these things spring from the subconscious.

Aries-Cancer is proving to be a delight... so far. Sensitive, touchy, but won't let themselves get lost in pitiful behavior.

My progressed moon is currently in Capricorn.

my maternal grandpa had Sun in Cancer,Moon in Pisces,and Scorpio Ascendant. Therefore all his big 3 in watersigns. he was a bit tricky. He was a person didn't take crap from people. You **** him off, he'll tell you where to go. He was a person who would stand up for himself and others. He also was fiercely protective of his family too. Family meant everything to him. He was loyal to his wife. He was a family man indeed. He took care of his responsibilities. He was the best cook in the family. He loved to cook. He showed more nurturing instincts when he chose to keep my mother unlike my maternal grandmother that tried to give my mom up for adoption because she didn't want her. He loved all his grandchildren. He didn't care if they were part black or part asian. He loved us no matter what, referred to us a little Portagees the day that we were born.

I hated his alcoholism and suicide. the negative of the Moon in Pisces as well as his Saturn in Pisces oppose Neptune.
He also could have quite the temper too. He was no weakling either, he boxed when he was in the Marines. He was afraid to get in a fight,afraid he would kill somebody.

Both my lovley father and my daughter are Sun cancer. They love the family and have so strong tie to it. Both my father and my daughter love to be in home and styling with old thing. I think it be to much sometimes but not them at all. They really love it.

My daughter have her moon in scorpio and my father have his moon in libra...

My fathers neighbour have her moon in cancer conj my fathers sun. They have been friends in many year. She also love many and old things in her home. She have many children and grandchildren as she take care of. The difference between her and my father is hers feelings are more deeply. She retire into her self. No one can come near. She come out soon. Very deep. When she is happy everyone see it clearly. She shine.
