The Moon represents our emotions, feelings, how we feel about our Mother, and our instincts.

Moon in Cancer

Emotionally Possessive

The Moon is very comfortable in Cancer, and it is easy for your emotions to be expressed through this placement. However, that can make you seem moody and extremely sensitive to others. Although you are highly influenced by your emotions, you may keep them hiding under a hard shell.

You need attention from loved ones to make you feel emotionally secure, and home really is your sanctuary.

A Moon in Cancer may be possessive when it comes to their loved ones, and feelings of inferiority are common with this placement.

Cancer is ruled by the 4th house of home and family.

In your eyes, your mother is the quintessential mother–although I have found that this is usually a facade and the Moon in Cancer either has an incredible relationship with their mother or a flawed one. The flawed relationship may stem from resentment towards the mother, as they expected them to be more “motherly” than they are.

Monitor your dreams, especially around the Full and New Moons, as they are a direct link to the answers and sense of stability that you need.
