Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, trying to figure out my own chart and what it all means. I’m an Aquarius Sun, which I’ve always kind of known – you know, the independent, free-thinking, quirky type. But I recently learned I’m a Cancer Moon, and that’s where things got interesting. It felt like two totally different worlds colliding.
My Experiment Begins
I started by just reading. Everything I could find online, some books I picked up – all about Aquarius Suns and Cancer Moons. The Aquarius part felt pretty spot-on. I’ve always valued my freedom, I love learning new things, and I definitely march to the beat of my own drum.
The Cancer Moon stuff though? That was a bit more…hidden. It talked about deep emotions, sensitivity, a need for security, and being super connected to home and family. I thought, “Well, I like my family, but I’m not exactly the mushy type.”
Tracking My Moods
So, I got practical. It’s what us Aquarius suns do. I decided to actually track my moods. I got a little notebook and, for a few weeks, I wrote down how I was feeling throughout the day. I also noted what was going on – was I at home? Out with friends? Working on a project?
- Morning: Usually pretty chill, getting my coffee, planning my day (very Aquarius).
- Afternoon: This is where it got interesting. Sometimes I’d be super focused and productive (Aquarius again), but other times I’d get this wave of…I don’t know…melancholy? A need to just curl up and be cozy.
- Evening: Often a mix. I might be out socializing (Aquarius!), but I’d also find myself craving time at home, with my favorite blanket and a good book (definitely Cancer).
The “Aha!” Moment
The real eye-opener came during a disagreement with a friend. It was nothing major, but I felt this HUGE emotional reaction. Like, way bigger than the situation warranted. I remembered reading about Cancer Moons being super sensitive, and it suddenly clicked. My Aquarius Sun wanted to just brush it off and be logical, but my Cancer Moon was feeling all the feels.
Putting It All Together
It’s still a work in progress, for sure. But understanding this combination – the detached, intellectual Aquarius Sun with the deeply emotional Cancer Moon – has helped me make sense of myself. I’m learning to embrace both sides. I can be independent and love my freedom, and I can also be sensitive and need my cozy, safe space. It’s about finding that balance, I guess.
I still do make efforts on finding a balance between them. It’s not an easy thing to do, but I just take it and that’s it.
