Detached by reputation, not by nature
An Aquarius Sun usually handles life in an objective, unemotional way. A Cancer Moon won’t allow that. It makes you tender-hearted, intuitive and alert to how particular people are doing, so you may be the most caring person under this Sun. You’ve got the original ideas and the wish to improve things for everybody, along with a feel for what people actually need in order to feel secure.
You’re independent and social at the same time, and you tend to know quite well what it takes to succeed. The tension inside is between your wish to stand apart and your wish to belong. You want to be the odd one, and you want to be invited home for the vacations.
A confusing signal
Your partners may get mixed messages. In one mood you’re discussing how nobody owns anybody. In the next you’re quietly hurt that they didn’t call. Neither is pretending, but you can seem hard to read to someone trying to do right by you.
Because your Sun finds neediness a bit embarrassing, you might hide how much you want reassurance, then feel neglected when nobody offers. You look after people very well, and you might find that you’ve become the group’s unofficial parent with nobody looking after you.
Admit you want to be asked
Tell people which mood you’re in. “I’m in a clingy one today” is funny and useful, and your partner will be grateful. Make a home that includes your odd friends, as this may be the one setting where both sides of you relax. And let your social conscience rest at home, because the people nearest to you count as humanity too.
