Transiting Moon in Cancer – Maternal Tenderness

The Moon transiting through the sign of Cancer illuminates the emotional foundation of the subconscious, filling it with Yin energies. Intuition becomes sharper, along with the desire to protect, care, love, and help, to spend time with family, call parents, and look through childhood photographs.

Those living in other countries feel acute nostalgia and browse airline websites in search of tickets. The planet in its native element of Water enriches life with vivid experiences that a person wants to share with loved ones: a romantic candlelit dinner, a trip to a meaningful place, and pleasant surprises will be very appropriate.

With tense aspects, suspiciousness awakens. Fears securely hidden in the depths of the soul stir the imagination and are perceived as hints of intuition, although in reality these are games of the mind that prevent development and forward movement. A warm, friendly attitude is subconsciously felt as correct and corresponding to the vibrations of the Cancerian Moon, which fraudsters successfully use: they gain trust by pretending to be friends. The heart should not be opened to people one barely knows or to those who have betrayed in the past.

Career and Finances

Tense aspects of the transiting Moon in Cancer can be worked through by showing signs of attention and respectful treatment toward women, parents, and children. Although complex tasks can now be resolved successfully thanks to personal influence, financial profit is reduced to zero: in male-dominated business, deals are canceled because of sudden hurt feelings, quarrels, and misunderstandings. It is better to preserve existing savings than to aim at increasing capital.

The areas where success is possible are the restaurant business, especially beer bars and liquor stores, the hotel business, and the production of swimming pools and food products. The Moon favors professions associated with women:

• kindergarten teachers, obstetricians, and gynecologists;
• family doctors, pediatricians, and psychologists;
• owners of children’s goods stores and dairy farms;
• cosmetologists, makeup artists, and stylists.

A male boss may be approached with a request for vacation or a salary increase, or for help in settling conflicts with colleagues, since men now have a rare desire to protect the weak and offended. Financial investments in repairs and real estate purchases are favorable. The transiting Moon in Cancer will appreciate care for the home: buying new pillows, wallpaper, or potted flowers to create coziness. This will soften the nervousness and suspicion that periodically appear in the soul.

Love and Health

Sensitive people put their nervous system at risk by getting involved in quarrels, since disagreements and sharp words are now perceived in an exaggerated way. A relationship with a loved one should not be broken off because of one careless word, but it is difficult to maintain an even emotional background, because care, protection, and attention are desired more than ever. If a partner is cold or absorbed in business matters, the trace of such behavior will remain for a long time.

Women can become pregnant easily, but the mammary glands, pelvic organs, nervous system, and lymphatic system become vulnerable. Men may experience blood pressure fluctuations, as well as problems with the gastrointestinal tract and prostate. A strong temptation appears to cheer oneself up with tasty high-calorie food, but this is fraught with instant weight gain.

Under the transiting Moon in Cancer, astrologers recommend treating:

• teeth: fillings, veneers, and implants;
• internal organs, except the gastrointestinal tract: cleansing them of salts and toxins;
• legs, knees, and arms: operations and physiotherapy;
• the spine, skin rashes, and joints.

Children need hugs and heartfelt conversations, as well as participation in household tasks: cooking treats and cleaning together with their mother. A positive example of warm relations between parents will instill the ability to care for pets and do something pleasant for grandparents. Reprimands and criticism will be met with hostility, so requests should be expressed gently.

Favorable and Unfavorable Periods

Under the transiting Moon in Cancer, the esoteric connection with one’s lineage is strengthened: people visit church, light candles for the health of living relatives and for the repose of those long gone. If the names of great-grandparents are unknown, one may simply pray while thinking of them. A simple phone call to parents or an unexpected visit with a gift cleanses karma and activates inner resources.

This time is favorable for:

• visiting a bathhouse or sauna, water sports, and competitions;
• court proceedings concerning family matters and guardianship authorities;
• poetic and literary work, creative evenings, and communication with like-minded people;
• sea and river journeys, walks by a lake, and fishing;
• buying and selling real estate and land, antiques, livestock, and poultry;
• planting vegetables, flowers, and melon crops, as well as watering and weeding;
• water procedures: baths with mineral salts and herbs;
• developing extrasensory talents and practicing consciousness-expansion exercises;
• holding family celebrations;
• returning or claiming a debt.

Those who suffer from chronic fatigue because of constant workload will benefit from staying at home with an interesting book, sleeping, and relaxing in the bath. Such a day will recharge them with energy for the following ten days.

Astrologers do not advise:

• lending or borrowing money, or taking out bank loans;
• cutting hair, drinking alcohol, or consuming energy drinks;
• pruning fruit trees and shrubs, or preserving fruit;
• eating salty or spicy food;
• using sharp tools: knives, saws, and axes.

Negative aspects threaten drowning and injuries from cloven-hoofed animals and snakes.  ✓
