Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole “Sun in Leo, Moon in Cancer” thing for myself, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. I started by, you know, just Googling it – like anyone would, right? I found a bunch of stuff, but it was all very…astrology-y. Lots of big words, felt kinda detached.
So, I decided to get a little more hands-on. I started a journal. Just a simple notebook, nothing fancy. I wanted to track my moods, my reactions to things, and see if I could spot any patterns that lined up with what I was reading about this Leo-Cancer combo.
Tracking My Moods & Reactions
- First few days, it was all over the place. One minute I’m feeling super confident, ready to take on the world (hello, Leo!), the next I’m all curled up wanting to hide under a blanket (classic Cancer move, apparently).
- I noticed that when I was around people, I was putting on a bit of a show – being extra funny, extra charming. But then, as soon as I got home, I just wanted to be alone, recharge. It was exhausting!
- I started paying attention to how I reacted to criticism. Oof, that was a big one. My initial reaction was always to get defensive, put up a wall (Leo pride, I guess?). But then, after a while, I’d start to really feel it, get all sensitive and insecure (Cancer Moon creeping in).
Making Sense of It All
It took a few weeks, but I started to see a pattern. The Leo part of me wants to shine, to be seen, to be appreciated. But the Cancer Moon is all about emotional security, needing to feel safe and nurtured. These two energies is always fighting.
So, what did I do about it? Well, I’m still figuring it out, honestly. But I started being more mindful of my needs. I make sure to carve out time for myself, even when I feel that pull to be social and “on.” I started saying “no” to things I didn’t really want to do, even if it meant disappointing people. And I started being more honest with myself about my feelings, instead of trying to brush them aside or pretend they weren’t there.
It is a journey!
It’s definitely a work in progress. This Sun in Leo, Moon in Cancer thing is a complex dance. But by actually paying attention to my own experiences, instead of just reading about it, I’m starting to understand myself a little better. And that, my friends, is pretty cool.
