moon or cancer in the houses
Planetary expression in the houses differs slightly from sign expression. As I said previously:
Planet = What? Energy - what are you doing? Sign = How? Which way do you do it?
So here’s how the planetary influence of the moon and its corresponding sign influence, Cancer, function in the houses.
moon in the houses:
1st: Emotions are what make you you. Everything depends heavily on how you feel instead of what you think. You tend to give too much for too little and often feel unappreciated and resentful. You wish things were different but lack the courage to make them so. If your moon is close to the ascendant, it makes you have a deep and strong mother complex.
2nd: You’re shrewd when it comes to business. Money and possessions are important for your emotional well-being yet your financial situation tends to fluctuate, which causes you distress. You tend to be clingy when it comes to people, and view them as possessions that support your emotional security.
3rd: You have a, emotional, dreamy, and “wool gathering” type of mind. You’re sensitive, moody, and imaginative and dislike routine of any kind. You have a sharp yet poetic imagination, and aren’t good at study or concentration. You’re impressionable and absorb information verbally.
4th: You insulate yourself from reality and have to learn to project feelings beyond the periphery of your own self-interests. Subjectivity is as rooted in you as insecurity and uncertainty is. The key to your desire for peace lies beyond your own personality. You mustn’t cling to the rather strong influence of your mother and develop more independence from familial bonds.
5th: You’re on a constant search for pleasure. You have a great deal of charm as well as an emotional need to feel important. You have a wild imagination. What some call madness, you call love. Your love is true yet inconstant.
6th: You have a strong interest in mothering and serving others. Emotional difficulties often lead to stomach ailments. You make an excellent cook or chef and might excel in the hospitality industry.
7th: You’re very concerned with what others think, since other people’s opinions are very important to you. You rely too heavily on validation and are a bit too eager to please. You don’t do well alone and need others (especially a significant other) to fulfill you emotionally. You experience changes in your feelings where partnerships are concerned
8th: You’re very sensitive where others are concerned (especially when it comes to social currents and demands), and can actually be a bit too vulnerable. You need to learn to live impersonally. Your interest in “life after-death” leads you to have experiences of an astral nature. Sex without affection deeply disappoints you.
9th: You find your inner philosophy through feelings and devotion to your ideals. Dreams and visions are of great significance to you. You tend to have many experiences which shape your life philosophy.
10th: You’re highly self-protective. Achievement and success dominates your feelings. You’re emotionally controlled (sometimes too much so) and are calculating when it comes to your reputation and how others see you. You experience many changes when it comes to your career.
11th: You have many friends (especially women) who help you in life. You have to look out for being emotionally impersonal and superficial, since your personal relationships often are second to what you consider the bigger picture, be it humanity in general, or your career. Whatever you send out, comes back to you.
12th: You suffer emotionally when it comes to your love affairs. You’re painfully open to the feelings and instincts of others. You’re very psychic and subjective and need to learn emotional boundaries in order to limit your own suffering.
cancer in the houses:
1st: You have a strong attachment to home and/or your mother. As a child, you were timid with a very active imagination. There is a feminine appearance and aura to you, which, incidentally if you’re male, might have gotten you bullied as a child. The past/tradition is very important to you. You have deep-seated insecurity and need a lot of love and encouragement.
2nd: You have a “sixth sense” where public needs are concerned and are excellent at marketing things of personal value to people, such as art and beauty products, for example. Despite your financial insecurities, when one appeals to your emotions, you can be very generous with your resources as well as with yourself.
3rd: You’re choosy and don’t want a great many friends, preferring quality over quantity. Your friends are often older than you are, since you’re more comfortable with those that are older than you. You have an instinctive mind. You’re way more restless than you appear on the surface. You’re extremely intelligent and have a very good imagination as well as an excellent memory. You’re sensitive when it comes to your own feelings, yet you take others for granted and can be quite insensitive to their feelings.
4th: You’re emotion personified, and you’re quite domestic and sentimental. You have a deep attachment to family tradition and might be interested in your family history and ancestry. You’re easygoing, but inclined to be moody. You have a potent need for roots and a home base to center yourself, expecting those you love to patiently wait for your return.
5th: You like the night, when the world is still and quiet, and you create best during this time. Your imagination is strong and you can be quite melodramatic. There is something of the frustrated “ham” in you, and you’d do very well in the theater. You tend to be nurturing and maternal with your lover, and you’re fiercely loyal and devoted to those you love.
6th: If you’re unhappy with your work/career, then it’ll manifest physically in you being a compulsive eater, as well as digestion and stomach ailments. You’re happiest in work that benefits humanity at large. You have an intuitiveness when it comes to the nuances of what your job entails. You’re excellent when it comes to fine-tuning the details. You have a not-so-obvious drive for material achievement, which stems from your emotional inadequacy.
7th: You’re needy, especially when it comes to validation from your partner, and you’d attract those who are home-loving and sensitive. A man would look for a mother rather than a mate. A woman would look for someone receptive and passive who’ll lean and not lead. Either way, strong are the ties that bind, and it would be wise for you to pick the mate that fits your needs, meaning, one who respects your sense of freedom yet still supports you.
8th: Your extreme emotionalism makes you a slave to your own feelings; you tend to drown in your feelings rather than understand others’ feelings. You have a psychic sensitivity to the next dimension, and you have keen premonitions of negative events happening around you. Sex can be a problem for you, due to your self-indulgent nature. At your basest, you desire to possess instead of give and succumb to lust instead of love.
9th: You have the sensitivity and psychic awareness of others’ needs combined with a wanderlust and talent for teaching. Your philosophy of service to others as well as your desire to mother and sustain others makes you well-regarded. You have the desire to not only travel to far-flung places on earth, but to far-flung places in the mind, expanding your spiritual consciousness.
10th: You have an instinctive sense of what the public wants and you like giving it to them. You need much sympathy and understanding from others and you usually get it, due to your accommodating yet ambitious nature. You tend to have a steady career, and your career would have something to do with dealing with the public at large. Your mother, like it or not, is a very strong influence in your life.
11th: You’re a good friend to those you choose to give your friendship to, but those people are a select and rarefied few. You hold your own in groups, but your inner sanctum is remarkably small, since you’re loathe to be close to too many people. You have a strong money consciousness, but you’re still prone to emotional overspending. You appear calm, cool, and collected, but inside you’re a wreck. You have strong feelings about people that are usually right, and in your quiet way, you size others up quite accurately.
12th: You’re extremely impressionable and soak up others’ emotions and have a psychic sense of what goes on around you. Your feelings are often deeply hurt, yet you don’t show it, preferring to stuff it somewhere and suffer more than necessary, You need love and companionship yet you’re never secure in the knowledge that your mother (or anyone else, for that matter) loves you.
