The Moon is Cancer’s governing planet.
The Moon stands for the inner self, emotions, and unconscious. The Sun, who stands in for the true self, is reflected in it. The Moon also represents security, automatic or ingrained behavior patterns, interpersonal skills, and the capacity to be nurturing to others. The Moon is exalted in Taurus and controls Cancer. It and the Sun are frequently compared as the feminine, receptive principle and the masculine, or positive principle, respectively. The feminine and nurturing side of oneself is symbolized by the moon. The Moon in a male chart symbolizes the anima, or the feminine side, and also predicts the kind of partner you will draw. The moon also symbolizes a past resonance that still affects your present life on an automatic or habitual level.
