I'm a Cancer Moon. 🌕
I dated a man whose Libra Moon was conjunct my ASC from the 12H. He was very open with me in certain ways! But he seemed to be emotionally immature in other ways.
My Libra stellium is in the 3rd house. My Saturn & Pluto & IC are in exact conjunction if you use the Placidus house system (which I do).
I don't want to waste your time with getting too wholistic in my specific chart, but I think I need to include some additional details as to why my Libra Moon in particular may present challenges for Cancer Moon women.
And I should preface this by saying that I may be quite limited in my scope of experience because as I noted above, the best evidence that I have for my concern over Cancer Moons comes from a singular 7-year relationship with a Pisces Sun/Merc/Venus woman, whose stellium fell in my 8th house. It was intense, we had something amazing, and in spite of all of my Scorpio it was ultimately an emotional burnout for this Air Moon.
So...
My 4th house Scorpio Sun/Merc/Venus/Jupiter is hugely beneficial in relating to Cancer Moon women. No question that there would be great connectedness and familiarity and comfort. For as much as people persist in complicating astrology, the Sun/Moon interactions between two individuals is so reliably fundamental as the ultimate indicator of compatibility. Toss in their aspects to the Ascendant and the basis of the relationship becomes pretty clear.
The Moon in many individuals is so deep and subconscious that it can be difficult to comprehend.
However, I believe a typical Cancer Moon woman (barring major afflictions) in a moment of heightened emotionality brings this up to the surface effortlessly and it can be a beautifully tangible experience to witness and be a part of.
Where I see the struggle with my Libra stellium in square to a Cancer Moon is when real interpersonal conflict arises.
As the Cancer Moon woman is so in touch with the expression of her feelings, my Libra Moon in conjunction with Saturn & Pluto tends to double-down on maintaining stability and control and I end up with a firmer grip on rationalizing my impulses rather than letting it all pour out, which damages the emotional meeting-of-the-hearts that a Cancer Moon wants in the most critical moment.
Numerous women have told me that they can't get past my walls and feel that I'm emotionally out of reach.
But there is always a counterpoint in astrology, and with Saturn (ruler of Capricorn, opposite Cancer) and Pluto (modern ruler of my Scorpio stellium), the great offsetting quality of my otherwise difficult Moon/Saturn/Pluto conjunction is that I've found that the women I've dated who are deeply in touch with their emotions have admitted to finding a safe harbor in my sense of calm during times of emotional or life crises.
I want to love and I want it to be reciprocated. I often think I'm not made for it; my troubled Libra stellium is disposited by Venus, which I have in its detriment in Scorpio.
The deep (Moon) partnership (Libra) that I crave may be unattainable. I've become cynical in my self-analysis of how my Moon has been shaped to be too rational (Libra), too detached (Saturn) and buried (Pluto).
A Cancer Moon woman creates a confounding blend for me; a trine to my Scorpio Sun stellium and square to my Libra Moon stellium.
In theory she sounds incredibly attractive, but maybe impossibly so. Of course it applies to all synastry, but whatever other personal placements she has in her chart must be able to relate to the potent challenges of my chart.
It gets worse... I'm a Capricorn Mars...
