Cancer Sun, Sagittarius Moon

You’ve called your mother from an airport, while looking at the departures board to see where else you might go.

Roots and a road map

You hold strong family bonds and a real wish to find out what life means, and those don’t sit easily side by side. Most Cancer Suns are cautious and reserved. A Sagittarius Moon gives you some flair, and it keeps putting you in situations where your ideas about safety get tested. You speak more forcefully than other Cancer Suns. Even when you’re being diplomatic, people know where you stand.

You’re easily hurt, but you don’t tend to hold onto it the way many Cancer Suns do. Your Moon is too keen to get on with things. That’s a rare and valuable mix.

Joy and frustration

Relationships can bring you both of these. You’re sociable and warm, and you love sharing a big idea over a long meal. You want a loving home, and you also want a partner who’ll agree to live in another country for a year, on short notice. Someone who’s only a homebody can feel like a limit. Someone who’s only an adventurer may leave you wanting a kitchen, a routine and some photos on the wall.

Your optimism can run ahead of your feelings. You might make big promises about the future and then find that you’re hurt and homesick in the middle of it. A partner might be confused, since it was your idea.

Taking home with you

You don’t have to choose. A lot of people with this mix find they can make a home almost anywhere, as long as a few rituals come along: the same breakfast, a weekly call, a favorite mug in the suitcase. You could plan a big trip each year and a stable season after that. And tell your partner when the restless feeling begins, as well as when the homesick one does. They both tell you something true about what you need next.
