There is a deep inner layer I have come to understand about myself through astrology.
Both my Moon and Venus are in Cancer, they are 2 degrees apart which means they are in the aspect pattern called a conjunction. A tight emotional embrace. This creates a deeply emotional, intuitive and sensitive placement when it comes to connection and inner security.
I need love to feel emotionally safe, nurtured and held to be able to relax. If something feels off emotionally it can deeply affect how open or closed my heart is.
If I do not feel emotionally safe, my heart can not fully open. Subtle changes, a short reply, a shift in tone: it echos through my whole system.
Moon-Venus in Cancer is very sensitive and we love with all ourselves – and we feel everything.
It makes me very affectionate but also protective of my feelings, and prone to emotional merging… It can be a bit too giving. I want to care, to soothe. But it is important to protect yourself. Not everyone deserves full access.
Venus wants to be loved and the Moon wants to be felt – together in Cancer they create a longing to be truly seen, not just in words but in energetic presence. To be understood without needing to explain.
When that does not happen, when there is distance – something inside me breaks open. Because I am wired for depth and connection.
High highs and deep lows, the merging, the aching, the intensity. It is not drama, it is emotion: fully felt. Learning to let the tears come, ride the waves and to hold myself when others can not.
If you also have Moon and/or Venus in Cancer: you are not too much, you are not broken, you are not overly sensitive. You are deep and your love is healing for this world.
