Your Cancer Moon: what you need to feel safe
With the Moon in Cancer, your feelings are deep and your memory for them is long. You need a nest: a home, a family or a handful of people who feel like home. You look after others almost by instinct. When hurt, you tend to withdraw and wait. Being reached for gently, without having to ask, is what tells you that you belong.

You watch before you join in and warm up slowly in new company. Strangers tend to trust you, even when they cannot tell what you are thinking.
