Sun in Pisces, Moon in Cancer

Yin, the soft and receptive principle, colors your whole character. You are gentle and deeply sensitive, and feelings run through everything you do. Your whole life rests on emotion. You are easily hurt, worry can take hold of you quickly, and you tend to be wary of what others intend. Your mood can change many times a day, and it is not always easy to hold back a sudden wave of emotion. At times you may show your fragile side to gain support and protection, or to steer others toward what you want, and it can help to ask openly for what you need, since people are often glad to give it. To say that your intuition is good would be an understatement.

You often make decisions without knowing quite how. In some mysterious way a decision rises from deep inside, and all you have to do is follow it. When you try to decide by logic alone, things rarely turn out as well. The way you carry out your decisions is gentle, with a fine sense of the right moment and of how others will react. Showing care and tenderness to the people dear to you comes naturally, and others come to you for compassion and comfort.

You love privacy and like to keep a gentle mist around your activities, so others are left wondering about your plans. You rest best where you can withdraw with your loved ones, somewhere with mystery and romance in the air. You love the element of water and are drawn to relax beside it, and the more water around you, the better.

You relax in a warm, familiar and cozy home, surrounded by family and the people closest to you. You tend to feel guilty more than is fair, and it can seem as if you carry everyone's burdens on your shoulders, so it is worth remembering that not everything is yours to carry. You are more willing than most to make sacrifices when they are needed. You never forget your home and want it to be full and abundant, and a well-stocked pantry and some money put aside for a rainy day give you a quiet sense of security about the future. Your mother has a powerful influence on your inner world, and the emotional bond with her is likely to stay strong throughout your life.

Your conscious mind and your inner needs work together in harmony, both turned toward an intuitive understanding of the world around you. Your feelings are so strong that they sometimes take the lead, and gathering energy and confidence in yourself is worth your care.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a gentle character, a longing for peace and quiet, a wish to dissolve in his feelings and a tendency to blame himself too much. He is often drawn to a partner who is gentle, romantic and emotionally warm. In a woman's chart, the combination lets her softer, receptive side express itself in harmony, and she is drawn to a partner who is artistic, romantic, gentle, compassionate and a little elusive.
