Why is a Cancer referred to be a MoonChild?
Yasmin is here. I had the good fortune to interview Marc Allen this month (May 2018) on my Hay House Radio program Weekly Astrology with Yasmin.
Since I first watched this interview, in which Marc discusses how to create your own reality in such an authentic way, I have been a fan of his. You should watch it, in my opinion!
Marc’s star sign is actually Cancer, the sign of the crab. But given that the lovely Moon rules the sign of Cancer, he chooses to refer to himself as a Moonchild for pretty apparent reasons.
My former mentor, the late, brilliant astrologer Jonathan Cainer, once made a statement about how ironic it was that Cancerians, the most sensitive sign, had this terrifying term as their star sign’s name.
Conclusion: Although I’m not sure if it will last forever, I’ve chosen to rebrand Cancer as Moonchild, at least on my website.
How can one determine if they are a MoonChild?
Your child is a Waxing MoonChild if they were born as the moon was growing to its fullest. Waxing Moon Kids are typically very positive and successful. They are upbeat and are probably very pessimistic about life.
Do June and July cancers differ from one another?
The moon, often known as the planet of our emotions, homes, and families, rules only one sign, Cancer. However, the majority of Cancers born in July are second or third decan Cancers, which means they have a secondary planet that affects how the energy of their sign emerges. Because June Cancers are only under the influence of the moon, they are more likely to exhibit the characteristics that are most characteristic of Cancer. Most June-born crabs fit the Cancer zodiac sign’s well-known characteristics, which include sentimentality, comfort-seeking, and compassion.
What traits do tumors possess?
June 21 through July 22
The crab symbolizes Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac. They are primarily recognized for being sensitive, emotional, nurturing, very intuitive, and occasionally insecure. Water is their elemental sign, as it is for Pisces and Scorpio, which makes sense given the depths of emotion that these signs are known for.
Because of their relationship to the moon phases, Cancers are often described as “crabby.” Although they wear their hearts on their sleeves, they also have a spectrum of emotions going on within that can occasionally make them look too sentimental or melancholy.
Cancers are known to retreat into their “shells” just like real crabs do, and they feel most at ease at home with their loved ones. They tend to be more reclusive, favoring close relationships with a select few people over engaging in large-scale social interactions, which can quickly overwhelm the Crab.
Cancers despise small conversation and might be a challenge to approach at first, but once you get to know them, they’ll be your devoted companion for life.
What sort of individual is a Cancer?
Cancers are known for being extremely sensitive, temperamental, and vindictive. In addition to being committed, cancers have an abnormal amount of affection for their loved ones. They respect their family and close friends highly and will go to tremendous measures to protect them at all costs.
