some things to consider:
- sun/moon blend concentrates energy, are in unison, but also narrows viewpoint. Given moon's placement, makes you very sensitive or moody.
- moon rules Cancer so it is dignified in this chart or placed well (unless it is afflicted w/ hard aspects).
- when Cancers feel good, they are very caring, warm and thoughtful to others. They can really create a sort of inner sanctuary for others - a place of comfort and nurturing. When Cancers feel bad, they make a fortress of their shell and become incredibly selfish in that they will shut everyone else out. They can become overly defensive and protective (or s/mothering). They can also be moody to a fault, and their emotions can be hurt easily.
- if moon is applying to sun, you were born during the balsamic moon meaning you are in the karmic phase of releasing. You cannot hold onto that which is central (e.g. a dominant ideology), but can see past it into the periphery, or what is marginalized.
- if moon is at the same degree or separating from the sun, you were born during the phase of the new moon. This means you are starting a fresh karmic cycle, your goal is to set down good foundations.
- if you are male and living in North American, this placement will be more difficult for you than if you are female as our society is not very approving of maternal men if you get my drift. I find society can be tough on Cancer and Virgo men.
