Sun in Cancer, Moon in Pisces

The receptive, yin principle is strong in your character. This pairing of the luminaries gives you deep emotions and great sensitivity, and you feel things more deeply than people may guess. You are strongly attached to your home, your family, your native places and your loved ones, and the people you love have a great influence on your priorities and values. You can lose yourself in your feelings, and you like to stay somewhere in the background, in a safe and protected place. Giving orders does not come naturally to you, and you do not enjoy it.

At its strongest, your influence is a subtle pressure built on how finely you sense people. Your intuition is remarkable, though you do not always know how to use it, and learning to trust it is part of your path. You are compassionate and romantic, you feel the pain of others deeply and you are ready to sacrifice yourself for them. You are kind and altruistic, ready to sympathize with anyone in need, though you cannot always offer something concrete and real.

You always make decisions carefully, thinking about how they will affect the safety of your family and the people close to you. You carry them out with a fine sense of the situation and the right moment, and you know how to find the people who will help you bring your decisions to life. At times you may seem more helpless than you are in order to receive support and protection, or to get others to do what you want, though your real strengths serve you far better.

From time to time you slip into your own world of dreams and illusions, which you have created yourself, to forget everyday problems for a while. Your emotional memory is strong, and you easily remember events by the feelings they gave you. You worry about the future, so you like a well-stocked pantry and set aside part of what you earn for a rainy day. You love children and know how to find a common language with them.

You like to rest in comfort, in a calm and soothing atmosphere, among the people close and dear to you.

You relax where there is romance, tenderness and a little mystery. You tend to express your emotions very strongly, and holding back a sudden wave of feeling can be hard for you. Your conscious and unconscious sides work in harmony and are turned toward sensing the world around you intuitively. Emotion can overflow in you, and drive and self-confidence may at times be in short supply.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a love of hearth and homeland, a deep attachment to loved ones and great emotional depth, and he often feels at home with a partner who is gentle, deeply sensitive, emotional and tender. In a woman's chart, it brings out her receptive, gentle side in harmony, along with sudden emotional storms, and she is drawn to a partner who is caring, thrifty, romantic and fond of home.
