Sun in Sagittarius, Moon in Cancer

Two very different pulls live inside you: a longing for the new and a love of what is familiar, a restless spirit and a tender heart, a generous hand and a careful one. You are optimistic and friendly, and you radiate warmth and kindness. Everything large and grand attracts you. Part of you is drawn far beyond the horizon, while another part is deeply attached to home and to the people closest to you. You love to travel, discover other cultures and broaden your outlook. You are searching for a higher meaning that you want to pass on to others. Education and the raising of young people appeal to you strongly, and you love to teach. You start new projects with ease, and you are good at firing up others too.

Your authority comes without pressure, and people accept it naturally. Your intuition is well developed, and you notice the smallest changes in other people's moods. You make decisions out of boundless optimism and rarely stop to imagine things going wrong. Yet you carry those decisions out gently, with a fine sense of timing and of how others will respond. Your natural honesty sometimes comes out more bluntly than you intend, and a moment's pause before speaking can help. You are sincere and dislike being squeezed into a mold. You need room to act and you need your freedom.

You are kind and generous, always ready to help someone in need. You have a gift for compassion and empathy, and you know how to soothe and comfort.

You like to spend your holidays somewhere far from where you grew up, and the road and the horizon call to you.

To truly relax, though, you need a warm, cozy home and the company of family and close friends. Being near water also helps you unwind. You open up easily, yet you guard your inner world carefully, and letting a few trusted people see it can be a relief. A full pantry and some savings put aside for a rainy day give you a quiet sense of security. Your mother has a powerful influence on your inner life, and you are likely to keep a strong emotional bond with her throughout your life. You feel equally at home in situations that call for willpower and in those that call for empathy.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction, and listening to both is part of your path.

In a man's chart, this combination gives an optimistic nature, a healthy pride and a love of sport, and he is often drawn to a partner who is gentle, romantic and emotionally warm. In a woman's chart, it brings out her softer, receptive side in a harmonious way, and she is drawn to a partner with the soul of a teacher, someone open, generous and kind.
