Okay, so today I wanna talk about the dark side of the Cancer Moon. I’ve been messing around with this stuff for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride.
First off, I dove into this whole thing because, well, I’m a Cancer, and the Moon’s always been my thing, you know? I started by just reading a bunch of stuff online. Like they say Cancers are all emotional and moody, and yeah, that’s kinda true. But I wanted to see if there was more to it than just being a crybaby.
So I began tracking the Moon phases, seeing how I felt during each one. I used a simple notebook, nothing fancy. Full Moon? I was all over the place, energized but also kinda anxious. New Moon? Super introspective, almost too much. It was like my emotions were on a rollercoaster, and the Moon was the one driving.
Then I got into this whole “dark side” idea. I read somewhere that Cancers can be, like, super manipulative because of their mood swings. At first, I was like, “Nah, that’s not me.” But then I started noticing things. Like, how I’d get all quiet and withdrawn when I didn’t get my way, hoping someone would notice and give me attention. Ouch, right?
It was a real eye-opener. I realized that this whole “nurturing” thing Cancers are known for can sometimes turn into, like, smothering. And that “loyalty” can become possessiveness. I even caught myself being all secretive, hiding my true feelings under a shell, like those articles about craters on the far side of the moon hiding something inside.
My Observations
- Full Moon: High energy, but also high anxiety. Like that time when an image of something strange on the Moon went viral.
- New Moon: Super introspective, sometimes leading to overthinking. And the “thick shell” we use to cover ourselves is more solid.
- Waning Moon: This is when I felt the most “dark side” stuff. Like, wanting to retreat, being passive-aggressive, holding onto grudges.
- Waxing Moon: More hopeful, but also a tendency to be overly sensitive and easily hurt.
It’s not easy admitting this stuff, you know? It’s like acknowledging your flaws, and who wants to do that? But honestly, it’s been kinda liberating. Like, now that I see these patterns, I can work on them. I can try to be more direct with my feelings, instead of hiding behind my shell. Just like scientists use the data to visualize the upper moon’s structure.
It’s a work in progress, for sure. But I’m learning that understanding the “dark side” of the Cancer Moon isn’t about being negative. It’s about being real. It’s about accepting all parts of yourself, the good and the bad, and using that knowledge to become a better person. We can turn secretive when you broke our trust, but we also protective of our loved ones. Anyway, that’s my little journey so far. Hope it makes some sense!
