The Sun represents vitality, a sense of individuality and outward-shining creative energy.

Sun in Cancer

Sun in Cancer natives have a strong survival instinct. They are protective of those they care about, and
of themselves too. They are often quite reticent about sharing their inner selves to the rest of the world,
and are often caught up in reminisce. Cancers have a reputation for moodiness, although this trait is
most evident when the Moon is in Cancer. Cancer needs roots. They resist change to an extent, and
concern themselves about being secure and safe in most everything they do. Cancers can be quite
intrigued by objects with history attached to them -- antiques, photos, souvenirs, and the like.

Cancer is a very sensitive sign, and they don't always appreciate it when you are blunt with them. Their
reactions to hurt will depend on how thick a shell they have developed. Most Cancers react by
withdrawing or retreating. Some have developed an ability to manipulate others to get what they want.
They avoid direct confrontations almost as a rule. Cancers are, in fact, quite yielding and soft when you
have them in the right mood. They are one of the more hospitable signs of the zodiac. Sure, they can be
touchy and indirect, but they are also very dependable, caring souls.

Cancer ascendant Taurus

Sun in III

You need activity and a change of scenery often, or you feel restless. You take pride in your mental
agility and your friendships. You are able to adapt quite easily to whatever environment you're in. There
is a strong need to communicate your knowledge to others and to learn. Your curiosity is endless. Take
pride in your intellectual or communicative abilities without feeling the need to lord it over others or to
always be "in the know". You have a solid grasp of facts. You have a strong influence on your peers.

118 Conjunction Sun - Venus

Social relationships are extremely important to you. You are generally charming with aneasy-going
manner. It is generally quite important to you that you are personally popular, to come across in a
pleasant way, and to be liked and appreciated. Sometimes, vanity is part of the package. Venus is a
peace-making, harmony-loving planet, and those with Sun conjunct Venus do their best to seek peace
and harmony. You are diplomatic and a veritable expert at smoothing over (and sometimes glossing
over) problems. You are openhanded with others, tolerant and accepting. When expressed negatively,
you can be superficial and two-faced, and you can be very much tied up with appearances--your own,
and sometimes others'. You might be too agreeable, too pleasant (at the expense of honesty), and
downright lazy at times. You have a fine eye for style and enjoy pleasing surroundings. You generally
dress well and enjoy a certain amount of luxury. You are gracious, romantic, and sometimes
romantically impulsive. You tend to rely on the power of attraction to bring people to you, rather than
aggressively pursuing love interests. There is some vanity involved here--you are most attracted to
people who express interest in you, or who respond well to your charms! You are not the type of person
who overtly pursues people who appear to be indifferent to you. You are not competitive in the
aggressive sense of the word, and you are not someone who loves a good chase. Instead, you work your
charms and draw people to you. Your ability to attract others (Venus) is very much tied up with your ego
(Sun). Because Venus rules all things feminine, both sexes with this aspect tend to be quite attractive.

The Moon represents the emotional responses, unconscious pre-destination, and the self-image.

Moon in Aries

Nothing quite happens soon enough with this position of the Moon. There is an inherent impatience
with getting what they want. Life is a series of emergencies for Lunar Ariens. They live in the moment
and have a hard time waiting for things to happen. Whims of the moment take absolute precedence in
their lives. This is a fiery position of the moon. Even if the Sun or rising sign is more low-key, Moon in
Aries people possess inner passion and fire. Emotional issues take precedence--there is simply no pussy-
footing around when it comes to dealing with the feelings. And, dealing with new sentiments and needs
stirs up a huge desire for activity. Moon in Aries has a need for acting out their needs, with no time to
waste. It is hard for them to see the long-term, or to wait for things to happen. Instant gratification rules!

Oddly enough, this is a very defensive position of the Moon. These natives take things very personally,
and they deal with problems by facing them right away so that they can then get on with other things.
Their flare-ups generally end almost as quickly as they started. Lunar Ariens have an unmistakable
independent streak. They put themselves right out there in the world, and make an impression in
whatever they do. Their self-confidence is actually variable. Although a strong personality is projected,
Moon in Aries people go through plenty of ups and downs. Their moodiness is not like Cancer or Pisces
moodiness--they don't withdraw into themselves or escape the world when they're down. Instead, they
are temperamental. Some might say that people with Moon in Aries actually enjoy trouble and
confrontations. Indeed, this position is easily bored with environments that are too peaceful. Their
homes--especially their childhood homes--are often battlegrounds. They rule the roost, or at least want
to, and are not the most peaceful of folk to live with!

Moon in Aries people are prone to have plenty of crushes and other short-lived yet intense desires.
"Needs" and "wants" are indistinguishable to Lunar Ariens at any given time. In their minds, what they
want is so powerful that it becomes an absolute need. In young adulthood, they can be dangerous with
a credit card. Whoever offered the advice to freeze your credit card in a container of water, and then let
the block of ice thaw before using the card, unwittingly had people with Moon in Aries in mind. The
whole idea was to see if the shopping whim of the moment would pass by the time the card was ready
to use. Still, with this scenario, I wouldn't be surprised to see Moon in Aries hacking away at the ice. That
is, if Aries actually takes the advice in the first place!

Others will appreciate that people with Moon in Aries rarely sulk or play any drawn-out games of
manipulation. You can pretty much know what they want at any given time. They are generally ruled by
their own emotional needs, and they're not always as concerned about others' needs during these
"emergencies". Somehow, they have people around them scrambling to help them solve their problems.
There's an aura of childlike innocence around Lunar Ariens, even when they're getting their way again,
that can be charming indeed!

Moon in XII

Curious and inquisitive nature, although more of an observer than a person who asks many questions.
She likes peace and quiet, being alone.

This position of the Moon indicates an emotional attachment and sensitivity to all that is ethereal,
groundless, and eternal. As sensitive as you are, you often have delayed reactions to your own
emotional experiences. You need frequent moments of solitude in order to recharge yourself
emotionally, and this need, while strong, can also lead to feelings of isolation and of being
misunderstood. While you are a perceptive person, you are often either flooded with emotions that are
hard to define, or completely out of touch with what you are feeling. Either extreme keeps you from
truly discovering your emotional needs. Negative expressions of this position are avoidance of
responsibility, using hypersensitivity as an excuse to oneself (and perhaps to others) for not participating,
or emotional immaturity. You are sympathetic to others' suffering, but not always emotionally available
to help.
