Moon in Cancer in the Second House

The Moon is in its natural home in Cancer, for this is the sign that the Moon rules. Here the best qualities of the Moon – devotion, patience, sensitivity—are brought out. The romantic, intuitive sign of Cancer and the sensuous, receptive Moon are in harmony with each other. If you have your Moon in Cancer you have strong emotions and perceive the world around you through your feelings rather than your intellect. However, because you do not openly show your feelings, it is sometimes difficult for others to figure out where they stand with you. In general, with your Moon in Cancer, you are more receptive than active. You store away impressions, reactions, and information until the time comes when you can use them. Moon in Cancer individuals often excel in an artistic or literary way. Imaginative and creative, you work best when you set your own pace and are not subject to the tyranny of time clocks.

With a Moon in Cancer, any impression that sinks into your mind makes an indelible mark. You have an extremely retentive memory. Moon in Cancer individuals are often found in professions where memory plays an important role: historians, teachers, actors, writers.

Having your Moon in Cancer, at heart, you are refined, delicate, and gentle. You may appear to be aggressive and forceful, especially if your Sun or Mars is in a fire sign (Bélier, Leo, Sagittarius), but underneath you are vulnerable and easily hurt. With your Moon in Cancer, you tend to let your feelings fester, and indeed, touchiness, moodiness, and a kind of quiet self-pity always lie near the surface. Though you are subject to greater mood swings than other Moon signs, your ups and downs don’t last long. If you are left alone for a while, the dark clouds will soon blow away. One of the most striking characteristics of Cancer is the continual ebb and flow of emotions, which combined with the waxing and waning influence of the Moon produces quick shifts in temperament and at times makes you emotionally exhausted.

As an individual with your Moon in Cancer, you are at your best in a deep and committed love relation. Unfortunately, you often have to go through an unhappy love affair before you find the contentment and security you seek. Even though you are motivated strongly by your feelings, in a curious way you are also afraid of them. With your Moon in Cancer, it is your nature to mistrust love, to feel you are somehow unworthy of someone else’s devotion. You will hold on too long to a relationship that’s destructive because deep in your psyche you don’t believe you’ll ever find another love. You also believe that to be alone is a fate worse than death. Very often early in life a Moon in Cancer individual must go through an emotional trial. But when at last you find love that feeds your soul and you feel secure, your personality blossoms.

Having your Moon in Cancer, you have a tendency to hold on possessively to a loved one, and a knack for subtly instilling guilt in someone you love, usually to test the person’s depth of feeling. However, among your most endearing traits are intense loyalty and dedication.

La position en signe de la Lune décrit la façon dont nous réagissons habituellement aux autres et aux circonstances de notre vie, ainsi que la façon dont nous ressentons nos émotions et cherchons à nous épanouir sur le plan affectif. La position de la maison correspond au domaine de la vie dans lequel nous agissons le plus inconsciemment, selon des schémas passés et des réponses instinctives.

Moon in the 2nd House:

Generally, having the Moon in the 2nd House is a conducive placement for the Moon, if your emotional attachment to your possessions and resources does not become excessive. If you are emotionally healthy, you are likely to enjoy a sense of security and well-being. This, in turn, may provide you with the emotional stability and grounding that can allow you to better acquire, manage and enjoy your resources and possessions.

Having your Moon in the 2nd House, assuming emotional stability, you are likely to have a “down-to- earth” attitude toward material resources. Your attitude toward the material dimensions of life is likely to have been conditioned by your family background and up- bringing. Therefore, your attitude toward possessions and material security is likely to be that which most people in society share.

With your Moon in the 2nd House, you also place too much emotional weight on your possessions, resources and material condition. You may be emotionally attached to your possessions. You may also have a very emotional response when your material security is threatened (or unexpectedly enhanced). The Moon in the 2nd House placement also suggests that you may place a great deal of value on your emotional life, as well as on family, domestic life and/or your heritage.

Insécurités

As an individual with your Moon in the 2nd House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be extremely attached to your possessions, fearing their loss and feeling that you could not live without them. With your Moon in the 2nd House, your emotional state is effectively determined by what you feel you have. You derive your sense of security from retaining what you have. This leaves you vulnerable for riding an emotional roller-coaster if your material fortunes are threatened or unstable.  Your responses and behavior are totally conditioned to react to your material circumstances.

L'axe du développement émotionnel

With your Moon in the 2nd House, what you value is likely to play a major role in your emotional development.  If you value material objects solely, then your emotional development will focus on your reaction to your material circumstances and, secondarily, on how others affect those circumstances. If you view your emotional capacity as a resource, you are likely to place a lot of energy into developing that resource.

As an individual with your Moon in the 2nd House, the value that you place on your emotions is likely to result in you cultivating your emotional health. If your values are more abstract, or if you are searching for what you value in life, your emotions may play a role in enabling that search. As your search for ultimate value progresses, you grow in emotional complexity and richness and you become more aware of what is of real value in the world.
