Moon in Cancer in the Sixth 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 (Ariete, 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 relazione. 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 posizione del segno della Luna descrive il modo in cui rispondiamo abitualmente alle altre persone e alle circostanze della nostra vita, nonché il modo in cui viviamo le nostre emozioni e cerchiamo la realizzazione emotiva. La posizione della sua casa corrisponde all'area della vita in cui operiamo più inconsciamente, secondo schemi passati e risposte istintive.

Moon in the 6th House:

While the Moon in the 6th House placement suggests that you will have opportunities to refine yourself emotionally, there are also subtle conflicts inherent in this placement. The 6th House, ruled by Mercury, is associated with intellectual, rather than with emotional processes. Therefore, having your Moon in the 6th House, it may be difficult for you to relate to your emotions.

With your Moon in the 6th House, your emotional health is often a concern for you. In fact, if negative emotional tendencies are allowed to develop and persist, you are likely to suffer from emotional nervousness or a scattering type of neurosis. As an individual with your Moon in the 6th House, you may also be vulnerable to emotional obsessive-compulsive disorders, particularly if you are in the habit of fixating emotionally on minute details. If you are emotionally healthy, however, you can develop a capacity for nurturing and caring for others, assisting them toward greater health and well-being. If you are involved in serving others, however, you must be careful to take care of yourself, particularly with regard to stress.

Insicurezze

Having your Moon in the 6th House, if you are inwardly insecure, your drive for emotional perfection may overwhelm you. You may be convinced of your own worthlessness and lack of love-ability. With your Moon in the 6th House, you constantly seek emotional comfort and attachment, but you fear rejection and criticism and, therefore, you coldly pull away from emotional commitment. You cannot get in harmony with your emotions, but instead you try to control them and “perfect” them. The result is that you place yourself under severe emotional stress and strain and this leads to neurosis.

As an individual with your Moon in the 6th House, you are likely to be emotionally anxious, overly protective and controlling of others, and generally fearful. You know that you have not been able to attain self-perfection and, so, you fluster your way through life, “sticking your nose” into everything and “acting like a mother hen.” In this way, your hope is that no one sees your own imperfections.

Focus dello sviluppo emotivo

With your Moon in the 6th House, you are likely to develop emotionally through a process of gradual refinement and movement toward some ideal of perfection. Your emotional development may have been guided or affected early in life by the guidance or criticism of your parents or caregivers. Depending upon the sensitivity with which you have been guided toward perfection (or with which expectations have been placed on you) your emotional development will have been either positively or negatively influenced.

With your Moon in the 6th House, you may continue your emotional development through self-improvement.  You may also spend your energy trying to undue emotional damage or you may remain emotionally inhibited. Later in life, it is probable that your work environment will afford you opportunities for further emotional development as you deal with issues of subordination, relations with co-workers and stress-management. You may also be confronted by health issues that cause you to further develop emotionally.
