The Moon
has her own kingdom, Cancer, and there’s nowhere else she can call home. A gorgeous
city built on silver and partially immersed in the sea; among statues and
monuments of long forgotten families, translucent water pours everywhere
abundantly.
The Cancer Moon individual
is highly sensitive, and their emotional state changes abruptly according to the
phases of the transiting Moon. The emotional structure is partially immersed in
water, and so is profoundly receptive to surrounding energies and events, such
as the contacts the Moon receives in her monthly waltz through the Zodiac. In a
single month, the Moon is able to contact every astrological planet and point in multiple
ways, always receiving other planets’ energies and reflecting them to us. This is the perfect symbolism of how a Cancer Moon’s emotions can
fluctuate over time.
The Moon’s
energy, Cancer, is one of protective love and emotional security. Cancer Moon individuals
excel in taking care and nurturing others, distributing love and affection as
if these watery feelings overflowed from their hearts, pouring tenderly around
them into twinkling water pools.
This is an
individual who can be much attached to their mother or maternal figure, who was
probably a very tender and nurturing presence, maybe super protecting the child
and fulfilling all their needs. The Cancer Moon individual tries to re-enact
their experience as a child becoming a maternal figure in their adult life,
taking care of people, listening to their troubles and helping in any way they
can. So much watery power is able to heal and protect others in apparently subtle but strong ways, sure as the tides.
Combining receptivity
from both Cancer and the Moon, those with the Moon in Cancer are intuitive and should
be in touch with their maternal instincts, which may prove themselves helpful in
times of need. Understanding other people’s feelings and emotional conditions
is a natural ability, producing a strong sense of empathy. Cancer Moon people also have
strong attachments to their emotional memories, to their origins and to their families, maybe to the
point of being dependable or stuck in the past if these energies are unbalanced. They can still hear the song of the sea from which they were born.
Cancer is
an archetype that teaches security through insecurity. After all, Cancer is a
cardinal sign; its purpose is to initiate and install the seed of change and
transformation. However, moving forward into the future can be hard for a sign so deeply connected to the past.
An unbalanced Cancer energy is also one that needs other people’s constant
approval to act in the best way that they can, as if insecurity impaired their
ability to produce affection and care for others. They’re ultimately afraid of exposing the Crab’s tender
insides and being hurt.
The Cancer Moon’s ultimate purpose involves repetitive crisis of loss
and abandonment through Scorpio and realizing, through Pisces, that love and
security should be found within one’s own emotional self. Illuminating the dark
sky with silver cardinal energy, Cancer Moons should be able to feel secure
within their own selves, expanding their protective energy outwards after drowning feelings of insecurity and vulnerability. They must acknowledge the immense watery power they’ve been blessed with. They’ve got the potential to be extremely persistent, moving forward despite their emotional suffering, for there is always another wave to come.
The Cancer
Moon individual comes from a celestial palace, an aqueous marble shelter
abundant in food and warmth, where friends and family will always find themselves surrounded by the holy
protection of the sea.
