The High Expression

You feel deeply at home and emotionally connected. Great for family life and introspection.
The Shadow Integration
Every location has a cost. The challenge here is integrating the shadow side of Moon in Cancer.
Emotional absorption and the inability to distinguish your feelings from others'. You may become a sponge for everyone else's pain, draining yourself in the process.
Awareness is your best tool here. When you feel these traits emerging, ground yourself in the positive qualities of Cancer: protective and gentle.
