Thank you Aries! I’m still a bit confused haha but are you saying that moon in Leo is similar to sun in cancer because they are mixing moon/sun, 4th/5th elements? Moon in Leo is not similar to moon in Cancer though because of the difference of internal and external expression?
Moon in Leo is similar to Sun in Cancer. When the two occupy a chart, the two are said to be in mutual reception.In that they occupy each other's place of domicile.
Whichever way you spin it, Moon is the archetype energy for Cancer. Sun is the archetype energy for Leo.
What is Leo/Sun and 5th house jointly representative of?Expressive creative energy,the identity,the heart chakra &living from a vitality affirming place etc.
And the Moon/Cancer or the Ic pertain to the emotional well-being. In my way of understanding, Virgo/Cancer both rule the stomach.
One of the manifestations of Cancer ruling the stomach is the feeling of safety abd security-which adds ,to emotional well-being .Think of how better the world looks when you have had a good filling home cooked warm meal? Its like all is right and well with the world.
So now mix Sun with Moon. What can we think of? Creative ways(Sun) of attaining emotional well-being(Moon). Attaching ones goals in life(Sun) to emotional well-being(Moon).
Leo-Cancer, Sun/Moon, Leo Moon, Cancer Sun, Ic Leo, 5th Cancer, Moon-5th, Sun-Ic, 5th house ruler in Cancer, 4th house ruler in Leo, Ruler of 4th aspect Sun, Ruler of 5th aspect Moon etc. all deal with the creative attainment of security ideals.
Some do it through building a family, through building businesses, some through charity work and others through healing services etc..
Whatever it is, the energy is expressed externally into the world in a manner that centres the native(Sun) to make all of life emotionally fulfilling(Moon). That is the ultimate goal.
Cancer Moon is very similar but takes the hypersensitivity up a notch. Whether we are also referring to Moon in IC/Cancer on 4th house cusp etc. this double emphasis of Cardinal energy keeps Cancer at a crisis point of worrying if there will be enough?
This is the recurring fear of worrying where this emotional well-being will come from? Cancer Moons worry a lot and an get into a loop/ frenzy of possibly not having their emotional needs met.
This state of flux is what causes both the mind to be unstable and because the mind is unstable and not well rested, the home front(Ic) with Moon is one of continual flux and change.
Here there is no so much a conscious creative expression then there is an emotional reaction from the environment. The energy(barring aspects to the Moon) being more passive and reflective (Moon)than creative and assertive(Sun)
Moon is more emotionally subjective and easily influenced than the Sun. The differences being most evident for instance in how the two interact with the immediate environment.
Moon in Cancer(barring aspects from Jupiter or Mars) often engages with others very slowly. They don't trust new company and tend to stick with those they already know.
Moon in Leo however tends to be more open(barring aspects from Pluto/Saturn), walking up to people in a more open manner and asserting themselves to the environment more etc.
Both however tend towards loyalty, want tons of attention and sulk when they don't get it. Mom tends to matter to both and both like to be the centre of attention in the home front.
