Sun in Cancer, Moon in Aquarius

Qualities that seem hard to reconcile live side by side in you: a love of constancy and a wish to reform, deep emotion and restraint. You are strongly attached to your home, your family and the people you love, and you always weigh your own direction in life against their wishes and needs. Self-confidence does not always come easily, and you try to stay in the background so that no one hurts you by accident. Even so, you need to stand out in some way, to be different from everyone else, and you are good at it. Your reactions are unusual, original and unexpected. Large groups can suit you better than close scrutiny, though, and work that puts you before the public with an idea or a cause to share can bring out your best.

Your strong intuition helps you reach your goals. You have an excellent gift for abstraction, for seeing the bigger picture and for drawing logical conclusions, and flashes of insight are not rare for you. Your influence works as gentle pressure, grounded in your intuitive understanding of others. You make decisions carefully, paying attention to how they will affect your safety and that of your loved ones.

The financial side matters a great deal to you too, because you believe material stability protects you from any surprise. You carry out your decisions in unpredictable, original ways. You are sensitive, compassionate and romantic. Criticism of your creative work can hurt you deeply. At the same time you recognize no authorities, and you have your own unconventional view and your own particular opinion about everything.

You like to relax in a romantic, cozy atmosphere, with the people close to you, ideally close to nature and to water, which soothes you. You also unwind a great deal by talking with all kinds of people, of every sex, age and profession. You need friendship and the company of kindred spirits, and your home is always full of friends. You keep updating your home with new, ultra-modern technology. For all your romance, you do not look for very close relationships and need some distance. You show your emotions in a reserved, rather dry and distant way, and letting a little more warmth show can bring people closer. You are altruistic and always ready to help in word and deed.

Your mind and your heart do not always agree on the way forward. At times your self-confidence may be quite low, and remembering what you have already achieved can steady you.

In a man's chart, this combination gives thrift, a love of home and family and a deep attachment to the people close to him, and he tends to look for a partner who is sociable, friendly, good company and free of prejudice. In a woman's chart, it gives a strong emphasis on unconventional thinking and unpredictable behavior, and she feels at home with a partner who is caring, emotional and devoted to home.
