Cancer Moon Sign People: Caring, Cautious, Changeable

Cancer Moon Sign People


The Moon is in its rulership in the sign of Cancer, so this is where it can express itself to the best and fullest. Moon in Cancer natives are deeply emotional and very sensitive. They have psychic abilities and can read others very easily. They really do know what you are thinking before you say a word. Such strong emotions can make a person moody and oversensitive, so try to gauge the general frame of mind the Moon in Cancer person is in when you approach them. They are interested in occult subjects, often Astrologers, Tarot Card Readers, Psychics, Mediums, or they can read auras and chakras. They are always well versed in ancient knowledge that is being rediscovered. Since the Moon travels through all twelve signs of the Zodiac in about 28 days, you will see Cancer Sun and Moon natives in twelve different lights! You won’t ever be bored for sure. The Moon stays in each sign for about 2 ½ days. Pick up a Moon Sign calendar and book and pay attention, so you can stay ahead of the trends. Seriously, one must have information on the astrological sign the moon is in, and it is normally found on calenders and Llewellyn Moon Sign Books!

Relationships For Cancer Moon Sign People

Close Families and Career Interests

These are people with strong family ties, and don’t you dare say a word about their Sainted Mother! They speak with Mom on the phone several times a day. They have a handful of close friends that they consider family as well, and tend to hang onto friends for a long time, often from childhood all through adulthood. This is all well and good, but if you are in a romantic relationship with any Cancer Moon Sign People and their family and friends don’t like you, it could be a deal breaker for your affair. So if you love this person, be prepared to do your best to get along with the important figures in their lives. These people are old-fashioned and romantic, and normally looking for a stable, committed relationship, like marriage. They love children and normally want to have a big family. Actually, their health and well being can depend upon it. They like belonging to close-knit communities and social groups, it gives them a sense of security.

Since they have such a love for children you can also find them as midwifes, nurses, OBGYN doctors, or emotional counselors. They really shine there since they have such great intuition and good bedside manner. It sometimes surprises people that Cancer Moon Sign People are much stronger emotionally than they appear. After all, Cancer is a cardinal sign of leadership. They handle business matters very well, and are trusted members of whatever business they gravitate towards. They are very security minded and are good at handling money, so you will find them in the worlds of Accounting, Banking, and Real Estate. Cancer rules the home, so they like to buy and sell them, as well as take care of their own.

They also make good actors or writers. Just because they are a touch vulnerable, don’t make the mistake of thinking that they are weak. They may shed a tear as they argue with you, but as soon as you leave they will calmly clean a closet or balance the checkbook. Cancer Moons are much tougher and more resilient than you think. Remember the hard shell that surrounds a Crab? It knows when to hide its head to protect itself.

Emotional and Nurturing


Cancer Moon Sign People are the care-takers of the Zodiac. They are loyal friends who will take you into their homes for weeks while you work out problems and get back on your feet. They usually have pets they dote upon. They are serious and responsible parents and siblings, often the ones who smooth over family spats and help solve problems. Cancer Moon Sign people are very sympathetic, and put that into action all the time. They love to putter around the house and garden, and are good cooks. You may find them as owners of a florist too. They can’t stand the thought of anyone going hungry or being alone and needing help. They are always willing to feed the hungry, or to crusade to help the down-trodden. These are peaceable people as well.

Some of them come off as needy and self-absorbed, but they worry too much, especially about health related matters. While young they feel like they don’t fit in anywhere. Later, they find out that practically everyone feels that way at times. Cancer Moon Sign People are imaginative, creative souls, who love poetry and music. They are tender and lovable, but are afraid to let others see how sensitive they really are, so may keep that hidden until they know you better. You will find they have a great sense of humor, and may use it to cheer you up as you tell them your problems. They are good listeners and will do their best to give you sound advice.

Cancer Moon people tend to hold in their emotions for a long time. Then when you least expect it, they let loose a diatribe about all that bothered them about you for the last ten years! This can be very disconcerting to say the least. They need to learn to get their feelings and issues out into the open, as it’s not healthy to keep them in and to brood about them.

Restless and Businesslike


Cancer Moon Sign people also are restless and love to travel to exotic places, to meet new people. They like to socialize and are good hosts. But they also need “down” time to be alone with their thoughts. Do not take it personally when they want to be alone. They do actually have a rich inner life and will go out by themselves at times. People seem to think they are clingy, but in actuality a Cancer Moon is a person who feels comfortable going out to dinner or a movie alone. It helps to recharge their energy level, which is a bit low, as it comes in spurts. They do a lot for a period, then sort of go into seclusion for a bit, until you think, “Gee, I haven’t heard from so and so for a while, I should call.” They tend to withdraw when they are upset and having problems. So you need to be able to judge when to offer help and try to cheer them up, and when it’s best to just leave them alone. It is hard for them to say “no” to those in need, as it is also difficult for them to put themselves first. This is the cause of their occasional burnout.

Cancer Moon Sign People are well respected people that you can trust. They are often the Treasurers of Clubs, or the ones who help their family and friends with financial planning. You are in good hands when they decide to help you. These are people who tell the truth when you ask for advice. It may not be the truth you want to hear. But it is never said just to hurt you. Cancer Moon natives are very conscientious and normally very well liked. When in their homes, you feel cozy, welcome and will never go home hungry! You may not want to go home at all!

Hi,

I just wanted to thank you for writing this. Many websites and forums portray this position as being weak, too moody to function, and undesirable. You portray it in such a positive and accurate light - I can relate to everything you said here. Moon in Cancer has a wonderful sense of humor, is incredibly creative and artistic, and uses emotion to create and innovate. Moon in Cancer has an amazing imagination - I think possibly the best in the zodiac! Thanks again and I really value your insight - it's clear that you know your stuff! :)

Hello MooninCancer,

Thank you for your kind comments! I am a Sun Sign Cancer, so understand the sign pretty well, although my moon is not there. I have studied for so many years, I know and have horoscopes for most of any Sunsign or Moonsign. I agree that Cancer gets "picked on" for being over emotional, but it is a cardinal sign of leadership. We just like to stay behind the scenes a bit (but always seem to get into the spotlight anyway)! Best Regards, and I have a blog listed on my profile if you have more private questions.

Hi Nida,

I have a separate hub for Sun in Taurus people, and another which explains rising signs or ascedants. That one only has about a one paragraph explanation for each rising sign, as there are 12. Thank you for writing, and I placed books on each so you can learn more. Taurus people like things to be simple, but are patient, as are Cancers. Cancer Moon people are very sensitive, but with the Sag rising you think big!

I loved this...maybe u could help me im wondering what all my signs put together mean, im leo/sun, libra/ rising and cancer/ moon :)

Hello Alicia,

Thanks for stopping by! People with Sun In Leo are very outgoing and like to get attention, they are entertainers. The Libra Ascendant means you come across as the peacemaker, and you don't like it when those around you don't get along. Libra makes you intelligent, and you like to keep your mind busy. You have a dimple somewhere :). You have a Cancer Moon though, so you are much more sensitive than others think, and your feelings get hurt easily. Since it's the moon, you keep it inside, it's the inner you. I understand, I'm a Cancer Sun! I wrote many Astrology hubs and they have links on them to help you find info. Now you can work with putting your "trinity" together, the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant. You are on your way!

Hello hi i read this myself an im also a cancer this article is very true. My birthday is july 9 i want to know if im a sun or moon? im guessing moon an what does it mean when they going by your star number?

Hello felicia,

A July 9th B-day makes you a Sun sign Cancer. If you click on the link at the right top of the hub, you will see a link called Moon Sign Tables. Click on it, and you will be told how to look up your Moon Sign. If you read the hub, you know your Moonsign and Sunsign are two different things. I have no idea what a "star number" is. Best Wishes.

Hello skumar,

Cancer people are quiet, but they are leaders. They also get bored easily. Perhaps you are just sick of your job? Is there a way to make a change within that place or type of work? Or are you ready to change? Best wishes.

Hello Jean, I was wondering if you could describe me. I'm Sun-Scorpio, Ascending-Sagittarius and Moon-Cancer. I am definitely understanding my capabilities, even though becoming aware was a difficult process because my crown/third eye chakra was being over-stimulated, but I've been working on my other chakras recently. I know read 2012 is a big year for Scorpios, especially in autumn.

Hi dexsco,

I'm sorry about the delay in answering. It appear HP made a few changes and I had a large group of comments I didn't get! Sun sign Scorpios are strong willed and determined. They do not change their minds easily, and follow their own course. It's a fixed, water sign. The Cancer moon makes you emotionally vulnerable, but also very caring and nurturing. Scorpio is caring too, although they put on a "tougher" face. Sagittaruis rising is a fire ascendant, and it's good for you, since you would be inclined to be overemotional without the Sag ascendant. That is a vibe that gives you positive energy, interests in many subjects, among them education, philosophy, foreign countries and languages. You may travel a great deal. I am working on more astrology on my blog http://www.spiritualitypathways.com. Best wishes!

Hi Jean,

I am a lunar Cancerian and your hub describes me to a tee. I don't have psychic abilities per se but I sure can differentiate between good and bad people. My sun sign is Leo and I am an Aquarius ascendant. Can you ,please, describe my personality based on those details? Thank you for this awesome hub :-)!

Jean Bakula Hub Author 7 weeks ago

Hello Choudhury,

Thanks for writing in and commenting. You are outgoing and like a busy social life being a Leo, but the Cancer Moon makes you quieter and a little shyer than some Leos. Cancer moon makes you very changable, but the moon changes signs every 2 1/2 days, so your moods don't stay the same for long. Aquarius ascendant makes you seem unique and strong willed (both Leo and Aquarius are fixed signs). So you are a little stubborn, but it's muted by the Cancer Moon. You may be tall or have an unusual hairstyle with the Aquarius rising. Actually both Aquarius and Cancer are signs of people who look at life in their own way, so you are a nonconformist. I know many Cancer/Aquarian couples, though air and water are not a usual match. Both of those signs are people who have tolerance for others, and hear the beat of their own drum! I'm working on a different sunsign series and a Venus in the sign series on my blog, but it's coming along slowly.. Stay tuned. Best wishes.
