Moon in Cancer

You are so sensitive to your environment that you need to be choosy with where and with whom you're going to be. Since you react to the feelings of those around you and can get carried away on tides of emotion, you need to learn objectivity and distancing in relating. You sense and understand other people's feelings, and would make a good counselor or nurse. Moody and possibly psychic, you can be overly protective (or protected), are quite domestic and excellent at parenting. In a male's chart, this would tend to attract a nurturing, mothering partner. Joni Mitchell's opening lyrics to "Little Green" about the daughter she gave up for adoption are evocative here: "Born with the moon in Cancer/Choose her a name she will answer to/Call her green and the winters cannot fade her/Call her green for the children who've made her/Little green, be a gypsy dancer."
