Sun in Virgo, Moon in Cancer

Your mind and your heart work side by side. You are practical and naturally flexible, you like to analyze everything, you are meticulous, and you enjoy getting into the small things. Details matter to you, and you can easily build a whole picture from them. You know how to adapt to people and circumstances, and your intuition is strong. You work hard for the good of your family and to keep it safe. You are thrifty and careful with money, sometimes so careful that a little more ease would serve you well. When you take the lead, your instructions are exact and well tested, and you follow them through, adding fresh notes along the way.

You feel no need to take center stage. You enjoy working behind the scenes, and there you have no equal. You pay close attention to what others would call trifles. You make decisions after a quick look at the situation, mentally sketching how events might unfold and always weighing possible risks and the smallest nuances. You carry them out softly, with a fine sense of timing and of how others will react. Being of service to others holds an important place in your life, and you can care for your loved ones and for strangers alike. You would make a very good nurse. You sense intuitively what people want, you are very caring, you have a gift for sympathy and empathy, and you know how to soothe and comfort.

For rest you like a changing environment, ideally one where you can combine rest with work. Switching from one area of activity to another also counts as rest for you, since work is your life. Your energy for work does come in waves, following your moods, and working with that rhythm keeps you productive.

You relax best at home, in a warm, familiar atmosphere among your family and the people dear to you.

Being near water also helps you unwind. A quiet worry about the future leads you to keep a well-stocked pantry and to put aside part of what you earn. You always have some money set by, and you are in no hurry to share it. You often want to keep your inner world hidden out of fear of being hurt, and your sensitivity can send you back into a shell you have built yourself. Letting a few trusted people inside can be a relief. Your mother has a strong influence on your inner world, and you are likely to stay emotionally attached to her all your life.

Your conscious aims and your inner needs work in harmony, both turned toward caring for yourself and the people you love.

At times your energy and confidence may dip, and a little more faith in yourself goes a long way.

In a man's chart, this combination brings an analytical mind, practicality and thrift, and he is often drawn to a partner who is romantic, gentle and very emotional. In a woman's chart, it gives a harmonious expression of her receptive, feminine side, with a strong focus on home and family, and she is drawn to a man who is hardworking, active and changeable.
