Moon in Cancer Storyteller

A Sentimental Storyteller

 

The moon is a satellite that functions much like a planet.  It represents emotion, memories, introspection/reflection, perception, nurture, growth, and imagination.  Because of this, it will influence how we tell stories. The moon doesn't necessarily tell stories in the methodical way (like Mercury would); the moon reflects the more emotional or subjective part of story telling which is based upon our perceptions of the world or how we wish the world was. Cancer is the sign of the crab representing home, family, protection, emotion, and familiarity.  Cancer is ruled by the moon, which means that the moon is in domicile in this sign. Cancer is a cardinal sign which means it is initiating by nature and it is a water sign which means it is emotional. It is also an introverted sign, which means it expresses itself more covertly.

 

When the moon is in Cancer the emotions motivate the native to react fully and reflectively. Because Cancer is ruled by the moon, the native will embody many of the qualities of the moon.  They will be sentimental, easily moved by good and bad things happening in the world around them. They are sensitive, although it would be hard to tell because they try to keep their feelings hidden from strangers.  Only those really close to them see this more vulnerable side. They remember slights just as much as they do positive memories. They have a huge imagination that is colored with nostalgia.
