Have you guys noticed anyone with this placement that they usually have that one friend or best friend they stick with for a long time?It's like natives with Moon in Cancer need to have that one single friend to go back to like a home base. We can have as many friends as we want, but we would always have that one person we trust more than the others and whom we feel most comfortable with. Without a person like this in our lives, we would feel lonely and isolated. I don't know how to explain it, but I've noticed it with two of my friends including myself. IP: Logged |

I know what you mean. They have their 'person.' It goes beyond best friend. It's like having a non-sexual relationship/boyfriend/girlfriend, complete with all the intimacy, et cetera. One of my old best friends had early moon in Cancer and she treated me in such a way. Sometimes it was so draining, but also very rewarding.My ex also had moon in Cancer, and he was the same way. They come to you as their confidant, their one, their person. When **** hits the fan, you need to be there for them or everything falls apart. IP: Logged |

I see what you mean. I feel people who are Cancerian or have a Cancer Sun/Moon/ASC will prefer to have a small, well-trusted 'support base' of sorts, which I just recently wrote about. Not everyone likes having only a few close friends. Some people, like the Gemini- and Libra-influenced people I've known (often, including myself as a Libra Sun), like a wide number of acquaintances vs. spending time with only one true best friend. In the end, I think Cancer is a sign that gravitates toward sharing deeply with only several people vs. scattering energies. Cancerian people want to have this reliable and unchanging 'support base' of family and friends to fall back on for emotional security time and time again, so they will invest energy into these kinds of relationships. This is why Libra and Cancer are square in terms of socialization: Libra likes to spread out energies socializing often with many different people, while Cancer wants to feel 'at home' with just several people or only one person. In truth, most Cancerian people I've met seem quite exhausted and drained by forcing themselves to socialize as a Libra would, and after these experiences, they just appreciate their friends and loved ones even more.

I know exactly what you mean. I have moon in cancer. However it depends on the house in which the moon is positioned. Cancer is my 7th house. I don't have that many friends, I don't feel the need to have friends or hang out with friends.Even if I construct some kind of relationship with people around me, in my mind they are not people I would trust wholly.They are not people that I would mentally tag as life long buddies.I, however want to have this kind of bond you are talking about with my life partner. I had a special bond with my first love.. The only person I would wholly trust is my sister though.Any time. No matter how many times we got into fights and whatnot.I would feel 'lost' if one day I lose this connection.

One of my cousins has this placement. However, the loyalty is unwavering and steadfast. I am not sure it's necessarily about coming back to "homebase" for her, I think it's more to do with familiarity and not having to go through the process of meeting/vetting new people that she can feel emotionally close to. She doesn't really "take" to a lot of people and doesn't seem to need a lot of people either but she does have that few close friends thing going on. She's marvellous support though because when the going gets tough, she's always one of the first to lend some support which is tireless. I think it's a nice moon placement, even if a little emotional and stubborn at times.IP: Logged |

I have a strongly placed cancer moon in the second and this description doesn't fit me. I don't think I even have that one best friend. Some 'friends' seem to be fading off on me.IP: Logged |

^Exactly.Your moon is in the 2nd house, a personal house. Cancer moons do not have lots of friends most of the time,from what I observed and from my own experience. But I suppose there MUST be one or two exceptions. IP: Logged |

Would Saturn also play any role here? And the 11th house? IP: Logged |

This was truly excellent.But don't you think it also has more to do with Moon on the angle? My sister has Moon in Cancer in 1st and she is like this- keeps the same friends she has had since high school. My Moon in Cancer is in 3rd. I don't cling and move on hey.I don't have a friend that I go to when the chips are down. It's only ME. At times my friends complain that I "abandon" them.  I think my Saturn in 7th minimizes any dependence from friends and does away with sentimentality. IP: Logged |

Thank you.  You bring up a very valid point! Having the Moon in the 1st, especially on the ASC, can intensify the effects of a Cancer Moon. In your case, having Moon in the 3rd...if the Moon is square your 7H Saturn, you can find that you may 'retreat' from sharing your feelings and bonding to others because of relationship anxiety, etc. You may have learned that it's better to rely on yourself than other people [seems common with 7H/Saturn-ASC/DES themes, Saturn hits my DES and I feel this way at times]. And this can impede how open and compassionate you'd be, by default, with a 3H Cancer Moon. Also, if you're Uranian in any way [Uranus aspects your Moon and the planet that disposits it], you'll find you will be less likely to cling to friends. There are a few people I've met with Cancer Moons and although two of them had the Moon in a prominent house, like H1 and H10, specifically, the Moon was not conjunct the ASC/MC angle in either case [or square any other angle, either]. However, I can imagine that a Cancer Moon sq. ASC individual will have a hard time conveying certain emotions and core needs into the basic presentation of the self, leading to shyness and being emotionally 'stiff'. I'm glad that you brought up the idea of how angles affect this placement, since such a Moon seems particularly vulnerable when it comes to how the angles of the chart affect it. IP: Logged |
