Moon in Cancer.
Moon Cancer-Moon Aries
There is quite a bit of underlying tension between you at
times, for your emotional needs, habits, and responses to
life are very much at odds. Cancer has a strong need for
security, closeness, and familiar comfort. Emotionally
sensitive and sympathetic, Cancer needs to be needed, and is
sometimes very anxious about Aries's seeming independence.
Aries is less bound to the past, to parents, or to family
ties and traditions, whereas Cancer is a much more
sentimental person to whom such things are very important.
Aries is often abrupt and impatient, and is not averse to
fighting or being confrontational. Cancer, on the other
hand, is very sensitive to disruptions in the emotional
atmosphere and to anything that seems to threaten important
relationships. Cancer wants peace and a supportive (rather
than combative) environment.
Also, Aries is basically honest and direct about individual
needs, whereas Cancer is frequently indirect, hoping Aries
will sense or feel what it is that Cancer needs and wants -
and this is rarely the case! Cancer is adept at picking up
subtle clues and sensing or feeling the needs of others, but
Aries is not!
Cancer may secretly feel that Aries is selfish and uncaring.
Aries may feel that Cancer is manipulative and overly
dependent.
The two of you will have to make a lot of adjustments in
order to relate comfortably with each other.

Moon Cancer-Moon Taurus
Even though the way each of you reacts and responds to your
environment on an emotional level is different, there is
something oh so familiar about each other. Each of you is
security-minded. You want to feel secure and safe in your
personal relationships, and you may give up excitement for
stability if you had to make a choice! Both of you are very
domestic and need a strong, secure home base in order to be
happy. The sharing of food, nurturing of children, and
creating a home together would be very satisfying for the
two of you. Cancer has deep attachments to family and to all
things "familiar". Taurus, too, is resistant to changes in
domestic or personal life, preferring to stay with what has
already been established rather than seeking novelty.
Dependability and safety in a relationship are important to
both of you, and you can find these things in each other.
Of the two of you, Cancer is more emotional, sensitive, and
moody, while Taurus is more steady, practical, and even-tempered.
Taurus gives Cancer a reassuring sense of security and is like the
Rock of Gibraltar for Cancer during times of emotional stress and
turmoil. Cancer may wish, however, that Taurus was less impassive at
times.

Moon Cancer-Moon Gemini
The two of you will need to recognize and accept one
another's different styles and needs in order to avoid
numerous misunderstandings.
Cancer is very sensitive and moody, and needs a lot of
tenderness, support and understanding at times. Easily hurt,
Cancer is very prone to feeling left out or unloved. Cancer holds onto
the past; to memories, to people, and to anything of
sentimental value.
While Cancer responds very personally and emotionally to
everything, Gemini responds intellectually or logically. Instead
of tea and sympathy, Cancer is more likely to get a playful and
witty comment, an insightful jest, or a reasonable
discussion with very little emotional content from Gemini.
Put simply, Gemini is uncomfortable with Cancer's emotionality, and
may feel overwhelmed or smothered by Cancer's emotional needs or
solicitous concern.
Gemini seems too "light", detached and cool to
Cancer at times. It may
appear that Gemini doesn't care very deeply. This may not be the
case at all, but Gemini is often unaware of feelings, including
personal ones.
Neither is Gemini an especially sentimental creature. Dates that
are special to Cancer (anniversaries, birthdays, etc.) aren't as
significant to Gemini as they are to Cancer. Gemini is very flexible and
adaptable, however, and can learn to remember how important
"the little things" are to Cancer.
Another difference between you is that Cancer is very domestic,
loves the familiar, and is quite a homebody, while Gemini is just
the opposite. Gemini gets bored without a lot of interaction with
others and mental stimulation. Gemini's restlessness can make
Cancer
feel insecure at times, but Cancer should definitely resist the
tendency to cling so tightly that Gemini feels smothered.

Moon Cancer-Moon Cancer
A sympathetic rapport exists between you which enables you
to understand one another's feelings, needs, insecurities,
and inner life very well.
Both of you have a deep need for nurturing relationships,
for a sense of family and belonging, and a strong home base.
You become very dependent on loved ones for a sense of
security and you sometimes smother the people you care
about. You have a very strong desire to mother or be
mothered by your mate.
Because you are so sensitive, moody, and easily hurt, some
people find you difficult to live with, but you find one
another quite understanding.
A few problems may arise however. One is that you may
reinforce one another's dependencies and weaknesses by
babying one another too much, or by clinging to one another
when one or both of you really needs to branch out in order
to grow. Also, what happens when both of you are feeling
vulnerable and needy and want to be babied at the same time?
Who will do the parenting? At such times you may both act
very childish, like "spoiled brats" in fact! However,
because you have similar emotional needs, you feel very much
"at home" and comfortable with each other, and that helps
any relationship.

Moon Cancer-Moon Leo
Proud and somewhat self-centered, Leo very much wants
recognition, appreciation, applause, and to be the favorite
or the center of attention. Leo craves affirmation and love
but may be hard to know really well, as weaknesses,
problems, doubts or insecurities are rarely admitted.
Leo has a dramatic streak and tends to exaggerate or blow
things out of proportion. Wounded pride or a feeling of
being ignored, neglected, or "not special" are Leo's
particular sensitivities. Cancer is a much softer, more private,
sensitive shy person than Leo is, much less of a showman, and
Leo's histrionics are too much for Cancer at times. Leo is usually
sunny, sociable, good humored, while Cancer is often moody and
needs to withdraw sometimes. Cancer has emotional ups and downs,
while Leo is fairly constant emotionally. You may be a
complementary pair, though, because Cancer is supportive and will
not compete for dominance with Leo, and Leo appreciates
Cancer's
supportiveness and sympathy. You are both very protective,
loyal, and warm toward one another.

Moon Cancer-Moon Virgo
Both of you have the emotional habits of worry, anxiety, and
over-concern about loved ones or life in general. You are
both caring and supportive, but you express this in
different ways. Cancer is more emotional, compassionate and
tender, and appears more sympathetic than Virgo, who wants to
help but may seem unemotional and critical at the same time.
Virgo's support is often shown by doing something practical,
taking care of something concrete and tangible (running
errands, doing the shopping, take care of business, etc.)
while Cancer empathizes with others' feelings and personal
experiences far more easily.
Virgo is fastidious and particular about food, health, and
personal habits, and can be very fussy about order,
tidiness, cleanliness, proper behavior, etc., which makes
Virgo
difficult to live with sometimes. Irritability over others'
inefficiency, lack of punctuality, or sloppiness is also a
habit of Virgo's. Virgo's perfectionism is also turned inward as
well, so that Virgo may feel inadequate or that accomplishments
are "never enough". Learning self-acceptance, self-love, and
relaxation are important for Virgo's well-being, and Cancer can
contribute significantly to this because Cancer is more accepting
and non-judgmental than Virgo is. Cancer, on the other hand, has a
lot of emotional ups and downs and appreciates Virgo's quiet
devotion and faithfulness.

Moon Cancer-Moon Libra
Both of you try very hard to please and accommodate people,
especially your love partner, and you are both very
sensitive to others' approval and opinion of you. Because
harmony in your personal life is so important to both of
you, you go out of your way to try to make one another
comfortable and at ease. Both of you, in fact, feel very
threatened by interpersonal conflict and you sometimes avoid
confronting the more thorny problems or underlying
differences in your emotional natures, however.
Cancer wants and needs security, reassurance, a home, a sense of
belonging, close family ties. Cancer needs to be needed, is
inclined to smother loved ones, and may be more of a mother
or father than lover to Libra. Libra, on the other hand, wants a
romantic partner more than a parent. So differences may
arise regarding loyalties to family (Cancer) versus giving time
and attention to the two of you as a couple (Libra).
Also, Cancer is often more emotional and "irrational" than
Libra, who
is usually more even, cool-headed, and reasonable than
Cancer is.

Moon Cancer-Moon Scorpio
Both of you are very sensitive and intuitive about others'
needs and feelings, and become deeply attached to people.
The two of you can become very, very close, intensely bonded
to one another, for you both need and seek a very complete
emotional union with your partner. Cancer is very dependent on
loved ones, and so is Scorpio, though Scorpio doesn't always show or
admit it. When you want something or care about something or
someone, both of you are very emotional and often lose all
objectivity.
For the most part you are quite compatible, but there are
some differences. Scorpio is more passionate, more emotionally
driven, and has very strong loves, hates, and emotional
reactions to people and situations (though these feelings
may be hidden).
Scorpio's depths are revealed to very few, and it is difficult for
Scorpio to be openly vulnerable and to relinquish control in a
relationship. Scorpio can be very vindictive when hurt or angry.
Cancer, on the other hand, is softer, more tender and gentle, and
may be upset at times by Scorpio's vehemence. Cancer wants and needs a
very sympathetic, nurturing, non-competitive and peaceful
atmosphere.

Moon Cancer-Moon Sagittarius
Your emotional needs and temperaments are quite different,
and this creates frustration for both of you, or at least
discomfort at times.
Cancer is inwardly tender and sympathetic, and has a great
yearning for closeness, and a sense of belonging or
security. A very sensitive and feeling person, Cancer can be
quite moody. Feelings of nostalgia, longing, melancholy,
crabbiness, and worry or anxiety are a part of Cancer's emotional
nature. Sagittarius, on the other hand, is cheerful and upbeat most of
the time, and is frequently impatient with Cancer's moods and
insecurities. Sagittarius may try to intellectualize or philosophize
Cancer
out of feeling moody. Rather than accepting Cancer's feelings,
Sagittarius
will either ignore them entirely or try to lighten them up.
But in either case, Cancer ends up feeling misunderstood or
simply not accepted.
Also, Cancer has a strong concern with, and attachment to, the
past, while Sagittarius is forward-looking and concerned more with the
future. Cancer is domestic and needs a strong, secure home base,
while Sagittarius yearns for the new and unfamiliar.
Sagittarius is more
adventurous and more willing to uproot and change residences
in pursuit of growth and opportunities, and Sagittarius doesn't want
to be completely possessed or tied down. Freedom, mobility,
and a certain degree of independence are essential for
Sagittarius,
who may feel dragged down by Cancer's neediness, emotionality,
and need for roots.
Furthermore, Sagittarius is naturally quite candid, frank, and rather
tactless. Sagittarius doesn't take everything as personally as
Cancer does,
and often hurts Cancer's feelings unintentionally.
Sagittarius may feel
that natural self-expression must be inhibited in order to
accommodate Cancer's oversensitivity, and this can be
frustrating.
Positively, Cancer can benefit from Sagittarius's humor and optimism, and
Sagittarius
may learn to acknowledge and accept innermost feelings more
fully as a result of being with Cancer.

Moon Cancer-Moon Capricorn
Your instinctive emotional responses and your temperaments
are very different and, in fact, quite opposite much of the
time.
Cancer is emotional, tender, sentimental, easily swayed by moods
and appeals to sympathy. The need to be deeply connected, a
desire to be taken care of and/or a need to be needed are
very strong in Cancer. Caring and closeness are of primary
importance to Cancer.
Capricorn is as committed and loyal in relationship as
Cancer is, but Capricorn
is uncomfortable feeling or expressing softness, neediness,
vulnerability, and emotion in general.
Capricorn has a certain crustiness and emotional distance, which
seems cool or cold at times. Personal emotional needs are
often ignored or put aside in favor of work, practical
responsibilities and duties. Capricorn eschews dependency or
"babyishness", expecting capable, responsible, no-nonsense
behavior at all times. Highly demanding of self and others,
Capricorn often neglects the playful, feeling, childlike side of
life.
Cancer's emotionality and neediness often conflicts with
Capricorn's
emotional detachment and dry realism. Secretly, however,
Capricorn
needs tenderness as much as anyone, though admitting that
and asking to be held or comforted is very hard for
Capricorn to do. Cancer's softness is much needed and appreciated by
Capricorn.
And Cancer, though sometimes frustrated by Capricorn's inexpressiveness
or unresponsiveness, is also drawn to Capricorn's strength and
emotional stability.

Moon Cancer-Moon Aquarius
Both of you have a strong concern for people, but while
Cancer is
very personal and responds mostly to family or to people in
the immediate environment, Aquarius has broader concerns, more
universal sympathies, and an interest in human welfare in
general. Aquarius often puts friends, social concerns or causes, or
involvement in the world at large ahead of family loyalties,
while Cancer isn't inclined that way at all and may feel
neglected and hurt by Aquarius's attitude.
The two of you are quite different in other respects also.
Cancer
is sentimental and emotionally attached to the past, to
familiar places and people, and to the safety, security, and
comfort of the known. Aquarius, on the other hand, craves newness
and excitement, and is rebellious or at least indifferent to
convention and the traditions of the past. Aquarius is not averse
to making radical changes in residence or lifestyle, while
Cancer
holds tightly to things as they are.
Also, Aquarius values personal freedom and needs to maintain a
sense of individuality even in close relationships, while
Cancer
is very dependent on loved ones and may be made very anxious
and insecure by Aquarius's independence. Aquarius needs to be sensitive to
Cancer's feelings and attachments, and to recognize that change
which is too rapid or sudden is very upsetting to Cancer.
Another difference between you is that Cancer is very emotional
and subjective, while Aquarius is clear and objective, and
frequently out of touch with emotions. Positively, Cancer can
help Aquarius get in touch with deep feelings, sensitivities, and
emotional needs that Aquarius has buried, and Aquarius can help
Cancer get some
more clarity and perspective on Cancer's sometimes confusing or
overwhelming feelings and moods.

Moon Cancer-Moon Pisces
The two of you understand each other very well and you share
many similar traits. You can have a very strong emotional
rapport and attachment to one another, so much so that you
communicate nonverbally or telepathically quite easily.
Both of you are highly receptive and sensitive to the
emotional tone surrounding you. You have an intuitive
awareness of others' inner feelings and needs, and are
sympathetic almost to a fault. You absorb the moods of the
people around you, and are prone to take on others' troubles
or emotions, sometimes not even knowing what your own true
feelings are and what you have picked up from someone else.
It is important for both of you to have a peaceful home to
retreat to (near a lake or other body of water, ideally).
You need a place where you can withdraw and replenish
yourselves, spiritually and emotionally, on a regular basis.
You share a tendency to want to escape from the pressures of
the world and modern day competition and stress. Meditation,
listening to or creating music, or living close to nature
are nurturing ways to do so. This is a dreamy combination,
and your relationship is likely to be quite tender and
thoughtful.
