Cancer Sun and Libra Moon Tribe

Keywords

Social awareness; graciousness and charm; elegant simplicity; popular appeal; over-sensitivity; observant; perceptive; keen student; timid, but eager for attention; romantic; kind-hearted; artistic style; adaptable but strong; defensive but devoted; idealistic and emotional; perfectionist; indecisive.

Combination Theme

In public situations, you don’t reveal much of yourself, being a touch introverted. As with most Cancerians, you are afraid of your own emotions, afraid of being hurt, of being fooled. You have an innate ability to see the true strengths and flaws of others because focusing on the human condition is your forte. Cancer is THE most emotional sign and Libra is one of the most analytical and emotionally barren signs.  It’s when the traditional functions of the positions of the Moon (emotions) and Sun (Ego) are flip-flopped we have an interesting situation.  

Cancer/Libras understand the human condition more than most. They’re the keenest observers. It’s as though they’re third-party bystanders watching a play of their life unfold before them.

Libra Moon offers a clear picture of the “here and now” under the backdrop of Cancer Sun’s day-to-day emotional rollercoaster. Libra offers emotional detachment (and relief) from the emotional Cancer grind.

Strengths

An innate sense of justice; remarkable memory (possibly photographic); artistic imagination; fine intellect; powers of observation and articulate self-expression; compassion and concern for the welfare of others; love of beauty and harmony; highly original style; scrupulous efforts to be fair and honest with everyone.

Weaknesses

Nervous defensiveness and mistrust of others; a perfectionist attitude that makes you nag and complain when things are not "right;" tendency to unwittingly stir up trivial arguments that become storms in a tea cup; proneness to rationalize away all your dependency on others and your idiosyncrasies and self-protectiveness.

Relationships

Your relationships are your greatest challenge, for you want them, and yet they never turn out quite as you had imagined. Your mixture of heart and mind can either make for rich and rewarding relationships or for a split between what you feel you need and what you think should be happening. You can never quite decide what your role in relationships is - do you want to be adored and petted; are you the devoted, parental partner, or are you an equal who is looking for courtly romance and mutual respect based on intellectual affinity? This dilemma gives you a kind of divine discontent when it comes to commitment and a proneness to nit-pick when indecision and dissatisfaction get the better of you. And if you stay too much on the surface of this dilemma, you are liable to emotionally manipulate emotionally those you love and end up brooding, lonely, and mistrustful.

When you can understand your different needs, you can direct your analytical talents to yourself and see that it is okay to be needy and friendly, emotional and intellectual, self-protective and outgoing. Once your caginess softens, you become a compassionate, affectionate, considerate mate - but one who will always need plenty of space for other friends and opportunities.

A natural indecisiveness may make committing yourself more difficult for you than for many people. Once that commitment has been made; however, your Cancerian need for home and family life will be satisfied, and you will become a wonderful, loving partner and traditional values will be expressed in whatever it is you buy, do or love.

You have a strong inclination toward romance, and this does a great deal to enhance both your love and sex life. There is an air of calm and serenity about you - but this will not inhibit passionate Cancerian emotion.

Parenthood

You will probably have a more relaxed attitude about parenthood than many other Sun sign Cancerians, but you should be very careful that you do not confuse your children by being indecisive. You will always be happy to listen to your children, so in that respect there should be no difficulty with the generation gap.
