Okay, so today I wanted to dive into something a little different – combining my sun and moon signs. I’m a Cancer sun, and I’ve recently discovered I have a Scorpio moon. I’ve always felt a bit…intense, you know? Like, more emotional depth than your average Cancer, maybe. So, I decided to really explore what this combination means for me, in a practical, day-to-day way.
Getting Started: Research and Reflection
First, I did some digging. I wanted to get past the basic astrology stuff and find some real-life examples, personal experiences.
I spent a good few hours just reading through forums and some less-than-stellar blogs. It was a lot of sifting through the fluff to find the gold, seriously.
The Experiment: Tracking My Moods and Reactions
Then came the fun part. I decided to become my own little lab rat. I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down everything.
- What triggered my emotions?
- How did I react?
- How did I feel?
I mean everything. Big things, like a disagreement with my partner, and small things, like someone cutting me off in traffic.
I tried to be super honest with myself, even when it was uncomfortable. Like, did I really need to get that upset about the spilled coffee? Probably not. But, hey, Scorpio moon, right?
Identifying Patterns
After a couple of weeks,I started to notice some interesting patterns.
One thing that stood out was my tendency to, let’s say, “hold onto” feelings. Like, I could replay a minor annoyance in my head for hours, even days. I’d analyze it from every angle, picking it apart. Very Scorpio.
Another thing was a surprising need for control. Not in a manipulative way, but more like…I felt deeply uneasy when things were chaotic or unpredictable. I craved stability and security, which I guess is a blend of that Cancer sun needing a cozy home base and the Scorpio moon wanting to be in the driver’s seat.
Putting it into practice
So, what did I do with all this newfound self-awareness? Well, I started small.
First I practice letting go. When I felt that familiar urge to dwell on something, I’d literally picture myself throwing the thought into a mental trash can. Sounds silly, but it helped!
I also started communicating my needs more clearly, especially to my partner. Instead of bottling things up (classic Cancer/Scorpio move), I’d just say, “Hey, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed right now, can we talk?” Game changer, seriously.
It’s definitely a work in progress. I’m still figuring it all out. But this whole exercise has been incredibly helpful. It’s like I’ve been given a little roadmap to my own inner workings. And hey, who wouldn’t want that?
