The Moon
Astrologers from different schools of thought allocate varying meanings to the Moon in a birth chart. Ancient astrologers say that the Moon changes its nature according to its phases, and merely passes on impressions from other planets rather than directly influencing a person's life. However, modern astrologers tell us that the Moon depicts a person's roots, our home and family. They say the Moon also shows our habitual nature or subconscious patterns of behaviour which stand in the way of achieving our life goals. While the Moon can show us our strengths, it can also depict our weaknesses which need to be overcome in order to be successful in life. The Moon is a fast moving point in a birth chart which changes sign about every two days.
The Moon is in Cancer
With the Moon in the sign of Cancer you're the homebody of the zodiac, enjoying the comfort of being surrounded by loved ones in your own home. You enjoy the feeling of belonging to a tribe, be it your own family or a tribe of friends. You're an understanding person, with strong feelings of sympathy. You also enjoy looking after others either through cooking them something tasty or simply lending an ear to their troubles. For this reason you are often the person to whom others turn in a crisis. Friends and family can often be found in your kitchen with a comforting cuppa. In fact have you noticed how you also have a tendency to attract stray animals? Loyalty features strongly in your life, although you need to take care that you bestow your loyalty with some discrimination. Sometimes strong emotions, which seem true at the time, can be seen to be misplaced with hindsight. Depending on other aspects in your chart, it's likely that you'll feel a strong emotional bond with your mother. You may have difficulty in breaking this bond, and therefore in leaving home. Astrologically speaking, the Moon is in its own rulership in Cancer, emphasising the benefits of emotional satisfaction through caring for others.
