Here are global energies of a moon in Cancer or in 4th House which you must imperatively nuance according to your birth chart, see the article on the Moon in signs; see also the article on the general interpretation of the Moon.
The moon is one of the Anima’s attributes in the chart, as such it can indicate a Projection of this one.
It thus often also informs about the mother, or the native’s wife, manifesting qualities in the colors of the occupied sign.
Cancer’s exacerbated sensitivity…
The Moon is here at home, it is a very strong position, it expresses the totality of its qualities without obstruction (see Rulerships).
Sensitivity, affectivity, maternity, all femininity, are here exacerbated. The natives with this moon position have facilities of introversion, they are very attentive to their feelings and emotions, they also have superior empathy faculties. Their great receptivity allows them to weave exchanges full of tenderness, gentleness and concern, they are fundamentally pacifist and open-minded, and hate aggressiveness and confrontation.
They have highly developed protective and devoted tendencies, especially towards their loved ones, with a very fusional sense. Their fear of being abandoned often leads them to ask for belonging proof. They seek security, both material and even more emotional, they are in search of anything that can reassure them and are generally faithful to their feelings.
They are fundamentally attached to their home, their house is for them their whole universe, their private garden, where they like to resource themselves, develop and protect it. They seek to establish daily routines and reassuring habits on which they know they can rely and where they can find a form of tranquillity in the constant stream of changes that frighten them and often even produce irrational anxiety.
This moon in Cancer or 4th House position also gives good intuition, creative and imaginative abilities that are very deep. It’s a good position for artistic dispositions for example, it can give works that are at the same time sentimental and romantic, touching and fragile, compassionate, deeply feminine.
Because of this moon “watery” nature, these natives sometimes have difficulty in understanding the difference between the logical, the rational, and the strength of their feeling that pushes them to have a more inclusive, more “total” nature, than the borders in which society tries to enclose them. But it also gives them a kindness and a touching and humanistic vision of things that will reassure others ones.
The great emotionality of this position can also give rise to increased tendencies towards melancholy, nostalgia for the past, and even a tendency towards pessimism, resentment, cyclothymia and Depression.
These natives are lunatics, with a propensity to easily cut themselves off from reality in order to return to their inner world and take refuge.
Whatever the reality, for them the glass is always emptier than full… They may also be easily influenced, hesitant and too sensitive to the vibrations of their environment. They may also tend to retreat into an excessive distrust in everything, in life itself, a lack of self-confidence.
Cancer Moon in love : Are you compatible ?
Sensitivity, gentleness, emotionality, emerge at the emotional level, and the fear of abandonment as well as the need for a feeling of belonging, of being reassured, will be the 2 sides of the same coin for these natives, in the bond with their partner.
They will prove their attachments a lot by mothering the other one, by looking for peace of mind and relational harmony, and will need to find sometimes in the partner a form of “substitute parent”, with whom they will be able to perpetuate a parental schema.
Affects can suffer quite a lot from cyclothymic notions and easily lack self-confidence, to fall into doubt, at the slightest remark, at the slightest feeling, which can moreover easily end in poutings.
The natives with this moon could be quite naive, recoilless, very sentimental, but they will have a charm at the same time simple and touching, who will know how to speak easily to the sensitivity of the other, knowing also how to have a very empathetic and compassionate love.
To seduce them, you will have to know how to be romantic, poetic, sensual, let speak all your receptivity and imagination, know how to caress them, how to soften them and above all how not to rush them.
Their soulmate will have to know how to be protective and help them to constitute the stability of their household, the emotional partner as cornerstone of the family to be created, with the children, has necessarily a very powerful and very powerful weight on personality…
Loyalty is an important point, with deep and lasting emotions, but beware of non-compliance with the contract, because their grudge will also know how to be extremely tenacious ! and will act as a slow poison likely to spread in the loving bond…
