You’re a very emotional person. In one way or another, your feelings rule your life. You have a strong receptivity to atmospheres, often responding to the hidden qualities of people and situations. When others ask you to explain why you react in a certain way, you’ll say it’s ‘just a feeling’ you have.
Whichever sex you are, you’re very open to the more ‘feminine’, finer, side of things. (Not that masculine feeling isn’t fine – it’s just that here we’re talking about the traditional association between what is called feminine because it’s sympathetic, tender). Moreover, you frequently need to be not only self-protective, but protective of others, also, while you try to avoid contact with harmful and emotionally damaging influences.
When you attempt to hide your sensitivity, you do so by constructing an impenetrable emotional wall. The reason for this is twofold: a) to prevent you appearing too ‘soft’ to others; and b) to allow you to act more in keeping with the daily rough-and-tumble, thereby screening your vulnerability.
The Moon is Cancer’s ruler, thus it is ‘at home’ in here. Therefore, you will show emotion in a pure form, possibly assuming a certain power over others, who might be fascinated by the free expression of subconscious forces. Conversely, because of the Moon’s affinity with the subjective state, can indicate a strong connection with childhood and the past: your sensitivity to the past can make you very receptive to a concept of ‘soul’, soul being associated with ancient descent. You seem to be very connected to your family and ancestors.
