Cancer Sun with Cancer Moon: The Protector
Sun in Cancer with Moon in Cancer Personality Traits:
Self-protection is almost everything to the Cancer Sun Cancer Moon individual. From early childhood until late in life, you seek shelter. You probably think the world is out to get you, so you spend much of your life preparing defenses, building fortresses, and worrying about chinks in your armor.
The Cancer Sun Cancer Moon combination gives great strengths as well as innumerable weaknesses. The emotional sensitivity and depth of the Cancer Sun is intensified when combined with a Cancer Moon. But just as your sensitivity is heightened, so too is your shrewdness and ability to construct even thicker barriers between yourself and your surroundings.
Having a Cancer Sun Cancer Moon, you possess great subtlety, intelligence, and imagination. The hostility and competitiveness you see all around you either force you to make use of your natural gifts or cause you to withdraw behind a thousand locked doors.
As an individual with a Cancer Sun Cancer Moon, childhood was probably the early testing ground, when, through cautious experimentation, you learned the safest and most certain way to maneuver in a highly unpredictable world. Once that pattern of behavior was set, you clung to it tenaciously.
In dealing with others, you maintain a modest, low profile. But you are active all of the time—moving about, shifting your tactics, and assuming attitudes that suit the moment. With a Cancer Sun Cancer Moon, you are a master tactician and diplomat, you know intuitively what others expect of you. In conflicts, you never approach an opponent head-on; you prefer indirect means, as there is nothing you fear more than exposure. If your surroundings are genuinely threatening or hostile, you may withdraw completely, preferring total isolation.
With a Cancer Sun Cancer Moon, it would probably come as a shock to you to find out that most people are not so concerned with what you choose to keep hidden. Your acute paranoia is a product of your ego.
Like the tides, having a Cancer Sun Cancer Moon, you fluctuate in your feelings and sympathies, and you are subject to wide mood swings of depression and elation. Your extreme sensitivity may cause you to avoid people altogether—but, on the positive side, it also gives you the ability to understand the moods of those you do become close to. It also gives you the power to create, once you have erased your many fears and phobias.
For the individual with a Cancer Sun Cancer Moon, aside from creative endeavors, you have a shrewd eye for business and an uncanny flair for finance. Many double Cancers are highly spiritual, and you may be drawn to a religious path in order to fulfill your inner needs. Be wary of the more bizarre forms of religion, as you are too easily led astray by anything esoteric.
Having a Cancer Sun Cancer Moon, you have a very generous nature, but giving love is not easy for one so caught up in self-preservation. Nevertheless, you must have a permanent give-and-take romantic relationship as a necessary step toward emotional maturity, so try to less fault-finding and less sensitive to criticism.
