Cancer Moons tend to be more domestic than Cancer Suns, moodier and more emotionally driven, and more into the nurturing parts of relationships. Everyone I've met is extremely family oriented and unusually close with Mom.

Most of the Scorpio Moons I know, including myself, have darker interests than Scorpio Suns and are a bit more courageous and avid in regards to delving into their own dark side and psyche. It's also hard to find a truly naive Scorpio Moon, even the ones with Aries or Leo influences.

And it's very difficult to find a Pisces Moon who isn't extremely creative, forgiving, and empathetic, as well as a bit spacey and offbeat, whereas Pisces Suns are often a bit more practical and less easily moved.

I know many people will say the Sun is the strongest expression, since the Sun is the sense of self, but Water has no sense of self; it's totally fluid. So, it'd make sense to me to believe that Water signs are much more easily expressed in the changeable Moon than the Sun.

Any thoughts on this?

if sun or mars are in fire signs, or air signs, they are stronger.

if moon is in water signs, it is stronger.

not meaning the moon is 'better' but it means that the moon is stronger in the persons chart.

so for example.. a water moon is probably more intune with their own feelings, is more sensitive to their own moods, etc.

Yeah, exactly. I'm not saying the Moon is BETTER in Water. I actually think that terms like 'fallen' and 'detrimental' are really negative and judgmental. No placement should be seen as 'bad' or worse than another.

But, like you said, some are stronger and easier to express than others. So Water Moons will feel and express that side of themselves very strongly.

This is from traditional astrology.
Cancer Moons I know are seriously batty.
I don't see that as something to be admired.

Yeah Cancer Moon also manifests very differently depending on whether the person is open to releasing the more emotional side and nurturing side. And its not the best placement for men.

But I agree with Pisces Moon and being offbeat. I'm very spacey and definitely go with the flow more so then a typical Leo Sun. But I think that I've started to disconnect from my more emotional and intuitive side because it makes me to prone to taking in other people's bad energy and it can be very depleting more emotionally and physically especially if you work with the public in general.

thats right sfaith, its exalted, thats why i was thinking it was a fact, i couldn't remember.

Planet Queen,

but you see, jupiter square moon in the 3rd house, reminds me of my 9th house moon (opposite 3rd) that also squares jupiter).

if i were looking at your chart, these factors would suggest your needs for space a bit more than your moon sign.

a good way to really figure it out, is to look into your subconscious, figure out why you need space, look into it deeply, do the answers match pisces related themes, or 3rd house/jupiter etc themes?

that sounds really accurate.

But, I will ask: Do you think the traditional interpretation of "a man projecting his Moon" works for men with their Moon in a Water sign? Because I think men with Water Moons tend to be more connected to their feminine side and their Moon energy than the average man, even though it might make us feel 'different' or ostracized.

I noticed same thing. The Cancer moon women I've met are moodier, brooding than Cancer Suns. cancer moons are more emotional.

The scorpio suns and moons the same as well. the scorpio moon is darker and more suspicious to me than the scorp suns. i am more comfortable with scorpio suns.

these are from experience with them.

Oh thanks! If you don't mind me picking your brain, why do you like Pisces Moon?

I've only been romantically involved with a fellow Pisces Moon once, he was a Gemini Sun/ ASC. too much mutable going on and he was a little bit crazy. But that is only one bad case.

I think Water Moons get along very well, mostly because we get each other on a deeply intuitive level. It's like a psychic connection occurs and there's little need for words. If both parties are too moody, defensive, or needy, things can get a little messy. But, otherwise, it's usually a very harmonious match.

I coudlnt agree more on the Pisces Moon. It is hands down my favorite placement. It is very hard for me to compare a Pisces Sun person with a Pisces Moon person. Pisces Moons are the real astrological discription of "Pisces." They are like angels that are here to heal.

They also get taken advantage of a lot, yet will still have unconditional loving feelings for someone. Most people give up where as a Pisces Mooner will always be there. Some my friends just think I give people too many exceptions, but that is not the case. I cannot let go of my fondness for someone.

I have Sun in Aries with a Cancer moon. Strong Sun and Moon. However I have a very strong Mars in Capricorn in the 8th PLUS another 3 earth planets. Sun in the 11th is weakened. Moon in the second/third - may also be a strong position in the second. Cardinal strong in my chart with 4 planets. Earth 4 planets, Fire 3 planets, Water 2 planets and 1 air Planet. Astrological signature is either a Capricorn or if I throw in my Rising sign - Virgo.

I think the Capricorn influence outweighs my Cancer moon. Though I still feel deeply. I think the 8th house Mars in Cappy drives me and I feel it stronger than my moon. I am practical and Spock like ( Aqua MC).

When I was younger, my 4th house south node tied into the Cancer energy and family was the most important in my life......now, in middle life I am moving to my 10 house North node in Aqua and seeking family outside of my roots......Not to mention now, I have progressed Sun conj my natal Saturn and I think that would amplify the Cappy influence.
