Sun in Cancer and Moon in Aquarius

Sun in Cancer gives you a warm, nurturing and intuitive disposition. You treat others like family and can be protective and loving. Home is important to you and you value security.

Moon in Aquarius gives you a much bigger view of most things. You are emotionally sensitive and can experience a broad array of feelings. Sometimes a mood will strike you from out of nowhere and it is as jarring as if you had been struck by lightning.

Your intuition is also likely to be triggered by bursts of energy and highly unusual ideas that make it difficult for others to relate to you at times. Whether they get you or not, you get them. And that can be the difficult part. You can empathize with and understand most people and may have to accept that it will take time for the rest of the world to catch up to your unique vision.

You can be a humanitarian and can either connect deeply with others through your empathy or keep your emotions detached and analyze people and situations. You can be unusual, exotic and erratic. You need the comfort of home and family but also need independence and room to explore.

Your intuition is sharp and you may be highly inventive and creative. You may feel compelled to say or do shocking things that even you don’t understand at first. Full of complex contradictions, you love people or rather, the idea of people.

You relate to humanity as a whole and may have an easier time engaging with groups and grassroots organizations than trying to maintain close intimate friendships.

You are drawn to the social outcasts and ‘underdogs’ and may consider the plight of refugees, homeless people or starving children to be as important (or more) than the issues faced by people you know or are related to.

You can be a strong advocate and activist because of your emotional connection to the well-being of people in the world at large.
