The sun sign Cancer is ruled by the emotional, soft natured and motherly personality Moon. Moon in Astrology represents emotion, feelings, feminine personality, a caretaker, caregiver, someone who thinks about others first whereas the sun is a burning planet. Though the planets are opposite in energies, they share a friendly relationship. The balance that these two planets make is just like parents working together for the betterment of the child.

As the ruler of cancer is Moon, the natives of this sun sign usually keep fluctuating in making decisions. This quality of theirs slows down their tasks though they possess the qualities of a king they struggle a lot in enjoying the luxuries that are associated with it.

Generally, people with Sun in cancer are good human beings and they follow a religious path. They strictly practice moral principles and are good-looking, with a charming personality. The natives of cancer make the best as housewives, cooks, writers, emotional actors, interior decorators, but also they do very well in the medical field, especially being a nurse. A nurse is required to have that motherly natured personality, someone who wants to take care of others, even a doctor needs to have that personality. However, they need to work harder to achieve their goals and realize their dreams.

When the moon is positioned in the sun sign cancer, this would be the most biased position of the moon as it is at its home position and is the governor of the sun sign.

The natives of cancer with the moon at its home position are capable of developing a healthy relationship by getting in touch with the feelings and emotions of others. These people have a strong bondage with their things, their home and the people who care for them. But, this very nature of being emotionally attached can sometimes put them in trouble and others take them for granted. When the natives of cancer are insecure they become manipulative. They never tackle their problems directly and take a roundabout way to seek the attention of others.

These people are wonderfully dependable overall, despite their occasional mood swings. Make a friend of Moon in Cancer, and you will be taken care of for life.
