Cancer Sun with Cancer Moon and Leo Rising
Sun in Cancer with Moon in Cancer and Leo Rising 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.
Keywords For A Cancer Sun Cancer Moon:

Leo Rising
Leo Rising signifies nobility of character, high ideals, and great personal magnetism. If you have Leo rising, you are big-hearted, expansive, benevolent, and kind. You consider it beneath you to stoop to pettiness, grumbling, stinginess, or narrow-mindedness. Because you are so magnanimous in spirit, you find it hard to believe ill of others.
Of course, the world does not always live up to anyone’s expectations, and Leo Rising individuals are puzzled and hurt by meanness and un-generosity. At such times you simply put on your regal air and make sure the underlying knows in what contempt and low esteem he or she is held.
Having Leo Rising, you have a great sense of showmanship. You love to put on lavish displays—whether it is decorating your house with expensive and elegant things or dressing in attention-getting clothes or throwing a splendid dinner party. To less flamboyant types you may appear ostentatious, show-offy, and extravagant. But your showy displays are not only to get attention; you see life in larger-than-life terms and aspire to the highest and the best. This quality draws others to you and, in itself, attracts power and influence.
Leo Rising individuals seem surrounded by luck in money, career, and friendship. You are not an especially hard worker but tend to achieve success through the influence and pull of others. Fame and fortune come to you when you aren’t looking for it.
With Leo Rising, you are efficient at organizing groups of people and inspiring them to give their best. You are happiest in the role of leader. In fact, you feel wounded if your public doesn’t put you in that position.
When not given what you feel is your due, you can turn haughty, temperamental, and arrogant. Leo is the sign of pride, and Leo Rising individuals have this in abundance. You are self-confident and have a resolute faith in yourself.
There is a basic likeableness about you, partly because you give a distinct impression that life is fun. You have a wonderful sense of humor. (Note: Leo Rising individuals have a particularly soft spot for children and spoil them outrageously.)
As a Leo Rising individual, you tend to have a large, beautifully shaped head, thick shining hair, a dazzling smile with bright, even teeth, and a stately bearing. Many of you are benefited by an inheritance later in your lives. Whatever path you choose to follow, you usually emerge on the sunny side of the hill.
The Sun, which rules Leo, is very prominent in your birth chart. The influence of the Sun bestows enthusiasm, generosity, power, warmth, creative self-expression, passion, and courage. It also encourages egotism, arrogance, snobbism, conceit, pomposity, and condescension.
