The Moon is the Ruler of Cancer, so the energies of the Moon are strongly felt and easily expressed at this time. Emotions and moods are most likely to fluctuate when the Moon is in Cancer.

If your natal Moon is in Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Pisces or Taurus, there is likely to be a focus on home and caring for others, as the Moon brings out the nurturing instinct in Cancer. If your natal Moon is in Libra, Capricorn or Aries, reason tends to take a backseat, making this a vulnerable period. Be cautious not to hurt others or allow yourself to become emotionally wounded. There can be tendency to overeat during this time in an attempt to stuff unwanted emotions or to feel better.
