Moon in Cancer: Rulership of the Moon - strong essential dignity. Nurturing and supportive. Emotional exploration is strongly supported here, as well as stillness and introspection. Not a good time for hard work or trying to get a lot done, but passivity and quietude will take you very far.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Movable water. Movability (cardinality) indicates short and quick bursts of activity that are cut short and not seen through as often. The Moon and our own moods, activities, and attention spans tend to flit from one thing to the next. The water element emphasizes the emotional and inner life, and people tend to prioritize their own inner states and unconsciousness patterns. The atmosphere takes a very reflective and introspective tone.
Moon’s ruler: The Moon is her own ruler in Cancer, part of the reason this placement is so positive. Time spent well during this period can always have long-lasting results.
Relationship to the Sun: Aversion to the Sun in Aquarius. This is a neutral placement. Your outer circumstances will not conspire against you, but they won’t go out of their way to lift you up either.
Aspects
Movable Opposition to Venus in Capricorn. Challenges in interpersonal interactions and dialogue. Harmony and agreement between people is strained, and individuals will be less likely to get along with each other.
Inferior sextile to Mars in Taurus: This is the beginning of a new aspect cycle. Initiative and drive will increase, with more impulse to accomplish lots and get much done. The detriment of Mars could make it easier to become angered by things and have trouble letting it go.
Summary: This Moon in Cancer period is fairly positive, with no hard aspects from malefics and no challenging aspects from the Sun. The natural essential dignity of the Moon here can make for productive activities and successful engagement in whatever you set your mind to. However, you will be best off focusing on the emotional and internal, and less on the physical and external, as with all Cancer Moon periods. If you choose to surrender and desttach from the results of your actions, you can be very happy here and get much more done than you would have initially thought.
