Sun in Cancer, Moon in Scorpio

The water element is strong in you, giving you deep emotions, sensitivity, intuition and a rich inner world. You are very focused on home and family ties, and you care deeply about what happens to the people close and dear to you. Family values strongly shape your goals and your outlook.

Your influence works as light pressure, resting on your deep sense of people. Yet if someone hurts you, even by accident, you will not stay silent, and if you do, you hold on to the resentment for a long time, because you find it hard to let a wrong go. Letting go of some of it is a gift you give yourself. Your emotional memory is excellent, and you remember every nuance of the feelings you have lived through. You make decisions carefully, thinking about your safety and your family's and about the financial side, because material stability means protection from life's hardships to you. You carry your decisions out discreetly, with a very fine sense of people and their weak points, and at times you may be tempted to play a hidden game. You read people's hearts with great skill and can steer them without their noticing, and that gift serves you best when you use it to help. You are prone to worry and suspicion, and an unexplained fear of the future can come over you, so you always set aside part of what you earn for a rainy day. You love nature, especially anything to do with water.

You also like to rest by the water, in a calm, romantic atmosphere, with your loved ones close by. You relax where no one will disturb you and where you can tend to your private affairs. You don't like others to know your plans. You are very passionate, though it does not show at first. People can sense an emotional weight and a certain darkness in you. You often feel intense, deep emotions. Without meaning to, you can at times strain even long-standing partnerships, and noticing this early helps you protect what you value. You can be very jealous about anything you feel is yours. At home you like to be in charge, sensing the atmosphere and the moods of your loved ones very well, and your hold over the household can feel like total control. Loosening it a little lets everyone breathe, you included.

Head and heart work together in you, aimed at sensing things intuitively and then transforming yourself and the world around you. Your feelings can run very high, and drive, lightness, flexibility and ease may at times be in short supply.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a great longing for home, family, romance and caring, and he often feels at home with a partner who has emotional depth, passion and an iron will. In a woman's chart, it can make adapting quite hard and puts a strong emphasis on her inner strength, and she is drawn to a partner who is emotional, home-loving and careful with money.
