When the Moon is in a water sign, it asks: “Is my boyfriend emotionally stable and wise about our joint finances? Or will debts pile up in the first year of marriage? I need a supportive life-long lover as well as a loving one.” the watery female lover thinks to herself.
“Will my future spouse conserve our financial resources or spend unwisely without thought for the future? I can connect better romantically if I know that my chosen life-mate is passionate as well as mature and pragmatic.” the watery male lover wonders.
Scorpio Moon lovers can enjoy a wonderful and meaningful relationship with partners who have their Sun, Moon or Rising sign in the intuitive water sign of Cancer. A double dose of watery energy permeates this combination, which means that one of these two lovers will have to be the stabilizing force in this relationship so that it thrives and lasts for a lifetime. Both are alike but also dissimilar in their own way.
Each partner symbolizes an element. Understanding that element helps us delve deeper into the real personality of that partner. Water represents a desire to use the purifying tendencies of human emotions to heal and fortify important love relationships. Water, through the Scorpio Moon sign, empowers and cleanses, while through the sign of Cancer, it protects and creates the most ideal conditions for emotional nesting. Pour two glasses of water into a pitcher and we will not be able to tell where one begins and the other ends, their energies will have mingled seamlessly. While this sympathetic bonding is good, water, when threatened, betrayed or hurt, will freeze up and become a solid block of ice. Such emotional withdrawal can seriously damage a double water relationship.
The only way to change this is to heat (provide attention and end further neglect of their delicate psyche) that block of ice into slowly melting. The emphasis should be on the word slow. Watery Moon signs are generally suspicious about instantly made promises and no follow through to back up what was said. Gradually, the frozen energy of ice changes into the fluidic, forgiving quality of water, the most emotional element of all. Balancing the attributes of this mysterious element is key.
The Scorpio Moon personality is divided into two, specific personality types. The first type is the ambitious type and the second type is the passionate type. The first type will find great fulfillment through career successes and peer adulation; power seems to follow them around sometimes, while the second type needs to create a firm foundation in life so that their primary relationships can stand the test of time. Both types are private, secretive and dominant; they fall into the role of caretaker very easily and usually, voluntarily.
Cancer types are sensitive and emotional, and seek out self-confident, often dominant lovers who can anchor them in life; their lovers must provide security, stability and financial protection. Scorpio Moon mates will enjoy an easy camaraderie with them because both of them will sense that they share many common, water-sign type, life goals. What are those goals? They may revolve around building a firm foundation of trust before love enters the picture. There may be a desire to marry and start a family, as well as actively find ways to financially support the family. Family ties will mean a lot to this devoted couple. Pluto, through the Scorpio Moon lover, will demand monogamy (powerful Pluto never shares his lovers) and generally, Cancer type lovers won’t have a problem with sexual exclusivity, as long as all their promises are kept.
Both the Scorpio Moon energy and the watery Cancer type lover worry about the proper management and use of money and resources, so if they’re both on the same page about that, ninety percent of their problems will disappear. Cancer types, whether male or female, will have a calming influence on the volatile emotions of the Scorpio Moon lover. Since their Moon sign is Scorpio, the traces of both Pluto and the Moon will be found in their emotional make-up. That indicates that not only is the Scorpio Moon lover emotional from the Scorpio side, it is also sensitive due to the effects of the ultra-emotional Moon. Moderation in reactions and feelings is extremely important in order to keep the Scorpio Moon person from helplessly flowing in and out on the fluctuating tides of these two, highly sensitive planetary bodies.
The Cancer type love thrives best in relationships where their mate openly admires them, exults in their success and freely shares their innermost thoughts with them. They may need to know on a fairly regular level if their partner loves them and will expect some verbal assurances at the very least. The Scorpio Moon lover, if caught undergoing a moody spell, may not be able to give them this. The Scorpio Moon lover, if typical of this Moon sign, will also be keenly aware of how much influence they have over their sympathetic and acceptance-seeking Cancer type mate. This is when the real acid test of their relationship begins. The Scorpio Moon lover must not, under any circumstances, cut off verbal contact with their Cancer type lover. If they do, it will create an unbearable confusion in their sensitive lover’s hearts. The sign of Scorpio sometimes tends to use control in order to influence people or the outcome of certain events. They must refrain from doing so when it comes to interacting with their trusting, Cancer type mate; this is crucial to emotional bridge building.
Neither one of them has transparent emotions and the natural inclination of these two water signs will be to alternate between reaching out for immediate support when depressed or shunning it until they feel like accepting it. Cancer types are extraordinarily intuitive and will have no trouble reading the signals their Scorpio Moon lover gives off. As time goes by, the longer they remain in love, their minds and bodies will get more adjusted to the emotional rhythms of their hearts.
For best results, the Scorpio Moon lover must learn to take a more logical view of life, which will also help their loving Cancer type mate, who may try to emulate them in an effort to feel closer to them. Both of these signs tend to let pressures build and fester, especially if there are any unexpressed feelings from the past. A secure home environment or a permanent home base to function out of will be crucial for both lovers, especially for the Cancer type lover for whom the home symbolizes every security and happiness. This will be a close and long-term union and if they can make sure that their suspicions, fears and tempers remain under control, their bond will grow deeper. They’re both emotionally vibrant but too much of that could create temperaments that are too sensitive to appreciate the ballet of opposites that is human relationships. Both must promise to place each other above monetary benefit, above other members of the family and friends. This sense of loyalty is crucial for them to build trust. If they could bring out each other’s light-hearted side more often, it could help solidify the connection. This is a highly devoted pair.
