Moon in Cancer
Because Cancer is the sign most closely connected with the Moon, you can be very strong and secure emotionally.Being close to your mother is especially important, and you need a lot of love and affection from her as well as from others in your family. When you’re older, you’ll be very good at giving the same kind of support to others and taking care of people in need.
Feelings are more important to you than logical thinking, which seems cold or boring.
You are easily hurt by criticism. It’s not that you are weak or fragile, but that you are unusually sensitive to other people’s feelings.
I wish I was as strong and secure emotionally as this little bit implies. And I am definitely not as close to my mother as I would want to be. The mom and I have an interesting relationship. I guess it’s considered a close one compared to so many others, but it could be so different. You know, like those mother-daughter relationships portrayed in movies…
Feelings are important, but knowing how my personality is, I tend to seek out the logical to balance it. I’m surprised that even having the moon in Cancer would put me in a position of placing feelings over logic. S, who is a Cancer, was always the more logical one.
Criticism does hurt, and I wonder if sometimes I am actually overly sensitive to others.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Interesting that this resonates so much with you as I would say you’re more logically driven than emotionally – but maybe that’s because it’s forced more than natural?
In any case, I think you do a good job of maintaining balance to those around you. :-)
@Melanie: I think I express more of the logic and present it more, but most of my own decisions and actions are based on feeling… I guess balance is key.
Movies are crap. They give us ideals about our family and love life that are just unrealistic.
If all else feels better…thank god your mother isn’t like mine. This is an e-mail my mother sent my sister when my sister went out of town for a weekend and didn’t return my mother’s calls:
I DIDN’T SAY I WAS STOPPING TALKING TO YOU I JUST MENT THAT THE WAY
AMANDA SAID THINGS IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE HOLDING THINGS AGAINST ME.
SHE KEEPS BRING UP HOW I HAVE RUINED YOUR LIFE AND THEN I ASK AND YOU
SAY NO. MAYBE SHE JUST WANTS CONFLICT BETWEEN US AND THAT IS REALLY
SOMETHING THAT I AM TRYING TO AVOID. LIKE I SAID YESTERDAY YOU ARE THE
LAST ONE THAT I WANT TO LOOSE. I NEED YOU AND CHRIS MORE THAN ANYTHING.
BY THE WAY CHRIS HAS BEEN OFF HIS MEDS AND IS DOING GREAT. ITS BEEN TWO
WEEKS TODAY. JEN I KNOW YOU WEREN’T NOT TALKING TO ME. ITS JUST THAT
WHEN AMANDA SAID WHAT SHE DID I FELT SHE KNEW MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU FELT
ABOUT ME THAN WHAT YOU LET ON. AFTER I CALMED DOWN I WROTE AMANDA LAST
NIGHT AND TOLD HER I WAS SORRY FOR THE ANGER I SHOWED TOWARD HER AND I
AM SO SORRY FOR ME SAYING I THOUGHT MAYBE I SHOULD STEP BACK WHERE YOU
WERE CONCERNED. ITS JUST THAT SHE KEEPS THROWING STUFF IN MY FACE AND I
AM SO TIRED OF IT. I AM SORRY IF I HURT YOUR FEELINGS. I JUST FINALLY
DECIDED THAT IT IS BEST FOR HER AND I IF I DON’T HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH
HER. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST IF YOU JUST LEFT HER OUT OF OUR
RELATIONSHIP ALL TOGETHER. DON’T MENTION HER AND JUST GO ON. I AM
SOOOOOOOO SORRY THAT I REACTED THE WAY I DID WHERE YOU WERE CONCERNED.
PLEASE FORGIVE NE. MY LOVE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IS TO IMPORTANT TO
LOOSE. PLEASE DON’T DO THAT TO ME. ALL MY LOVE MOM
@Amanda: :( I do not envy you at all…
