We leave behind the mental chatter of Gemini and enter the deep, deep waters of Cancer. Cancer is concerned with emotional security and achieves strength through surrender meaning the person with this sign on their 1st house will be vulnerable from the get-go. Their emotions within will be blatantly reflected in their face and everybody else in the room will feel it too. On the contrary, since the Moon blessed them with such high intuition they will be feeling others’ emotions also. They have to be careful not to mistake others’ feelings as their own. Since our ascendant determines the way we look Cancer Ascendant people will have enchanting and large-deep eyes, and their faces sparkling like the moon. Their smile makes other people feel warm inside - like coming home. But when they’re upset they will take the warmth away and those who did them wrong will definitely feel the sudden cold. Even though they might have a mysterious streak, it is their strength to make others feel safe in their environment. Their bodies will fluctuate just like the Moon. They have to respect its ever-changing nature since they can be frustrated with it. They might have softer features and a very soft skin perfect for cuddling.

Neptune: Fading into Obscurity
*do not plagiarize my writing or repost on other forms of social media under any circumstances. These are merely my personal opinions, notes and observations. *
I was reading the Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, and this paragraph on losing your Body reminded me of Neptune:
“The lack of self-awareness in victims of chronic childhood trauma is sometimes so profound that they cannot recognize themselves in a mirror. Brain scans show that this is not the result of mere inattention: the structures of self-recognition may be knocked out along with structures related to self-experience.”
I am in no way equating or reducing childhood trauma to astrological placements. However, I was reminded of Neptune’s influence as a person interested in astrology. Like the other gas giants in our solar system, Neptune doesn’t have much of a solid surface to live on and has the most extreme and bizarre weather in the Solar System. It experiences massive storms with powerful winds. Its atmosphere features revolving patches of darkness and clouds that undergo rapid transformations.
It makes sense to consider how rapidly Neptune’s spiritual, creative, and imaginative energy can transform into an illusion, delusion, or lie. Neptune can generate a fog that obscures our view, leaving us vulnerable to manipulation. However, it can also reveal instances in which we deceive others and even ourselves. The mist can obstruct our view of other individuals and leave us unable to determine their true identities. But it can also envelop us, detaching us from our sense of self and leaving us with bodies that feel light, as if we can never rightly plant our feet on the ground.
As someone who is Neptune-dominant and did not have the best childhood, I had always thought that not recognizing yourself in the mirror was normal—feeling estranged from oneself because practically all of one’s time was spent molding yourself into the person your parents expected you to be. I’ve also seen that for somePisces risings or Neptune in the first house individuals, the mother or family may have viewed the birth of that child as someone who would heal a previous wound—already born into the world, hoping that your presence may alleviate suffering.
For example, I am a Pisces ascendant, and my brother passed away before my mother gave birth to me. Growing up, my family would tell me how fortunate I was to be able to alleviate some of that agony for my mother, but at times it felt more like a burden. My closest friend’s younger brother is also a Pisces rising; he is the rainbow baby, as his mother had a miscarriage before he was born. As the youngest and only boy, in the mothers eyes, he was a source of healing for the family and is her treasure. However, from the child’s point of view, a statement with that much weight and expectation can still be quite challenging to hear, even if they are said with the best intentions.
This expectation of filling an emotional void can also be applied to the other water-rising signs to a certain extent. For instance, Scorpio ascendants may have been born at a period when a family member passed away or when their mother underwent an intensive and drastic transformation. For example, my cousin gave birth to her child after her mother’s death and at a chaotic and perilous time; her baby is a Scorpio rising with Mars in the first house. Scorpio ascendants may feel as though their mothers or parental figures attempted to feel more secure by dominating them, which is unfair to the child. On the other hand, Cancer ascendants may have been born during a period of profound emotional transformation in the mother. The authority figure may have anticipated the child to restore peace or security to the household in some manner. However, this may come at the expense of the child’s mental health and with unreasonable expectations.
But anyways, back to Neptune. In the book, the author emphasizes that you can only be fully in control of your body if you acknowledge its visceral reality in all of its dimensions. We must feel comfortable and secure with all of our potential feelings. But then, how can you be expected to look in the mirror and know who you are if you are not permitted to build your sense of self? If you never got the chance to process those emotions? They do not just go away. When Neptune is involved, they dissolve into us, into areas of our life.Moon-Neptune,and they can merge into our relationships with our mothers or caretakers. Venus-Neptune,and we find that our perspectives of relationships can quickly become skewed, leaving us heartbroken. Mars-Neptuneand our anger could unravel us and leave us completely confused. When it comes to houses, Neptune in the 7th and we can become disillusioned by our relationships. Neptune in the 3rd house, and it feels like communication is always cut short, like a faulty signal, where you speak and others can’t seem to hear you. The energy can manifest in dozens of different ways.
Neptune can grant us the potential to produce the most hauntingly beautiful art from our sorrow. When we bring to life what has been lingering in our imagination, we prompt others to contemplate. If you have an aspect to the moon, you could be an extraordinary songwriter or poet. Aspect to Venus, and when you create art about love, it is magnificent; you might also be an excellent makeup artist. Mars in aspect to Neptune stimulates the vitality and drive of others, as well as your own.
Chaos can ensue, though, if we are not cautious and continue to dwell in our fantasy worlds without attempting to live and actively participate in the material and physical world. Our comfort zones can just as easily hold us hostage instead of provide us with safety. Especially when we try to dive in headfirst. This can lead to drug or alcohol abuse or even self-harm. Trapped in the fog, hoping for the best despite reality… denying reality.
Inthe Astrological Neptune and the Quest for Redemption, Liz Greene explores the complex nature of Neptune and states:
“Neptune can symbolize the highest and most exalted manifestations of love, grace and creative vision of which human beings are capable in those moments when the earth bound illusion of separateness is replaced by recognition of ultimate unity. Equally, Neptune can embody the most desperate and destructively devouring impulses of which human beings are capable, when they have not dealt with the fear of loneliness and death. Which is true? Probably both. Sadly, it is often those individuals with the greatest imaginative gifts who, at the same time that they desperately long to manifest their potential, sabotage with the left hand what they seek with the right.”
this one is entirely obvious. scorpios can become obsessive, secretive, and way overly passionate. joe was also very creative, which is a hidden trait of scorpio people often override. joe’s need to protect others by involving revenge also plays a huge role into why i believe he’s a scorpio sun. 5th house suns feel the need to live their life for passion. he is always carried away when he feels passion towards another person.
virgo moon in the 3rd house
joe is so so methodical when planning out whatever he is up to next. he doesn’t take criticism very well, hes quite sensitive to it. he’s analytical, like super super analytical. he problem solves well, and he enjoys being in service of the people he loves. he can also come off as an anxious type of person as well. he also had a need for control in his plans. 3rd house moons have scattered minds. sometimes he can let his emotions get the better of him, especially when excited about a new idea/concept. they often keep in contact with the people around them aswell.
cancer rising
he usually gets the people he loves to open up and feel comfortable around him when he wants them to. if he tries hard enough. he’s weary of the people he first meets, but kind. he can be sensitive to the littlest things as well. this would make his chart ruler his virgo moon, which makes incredible sense. but to be honest, im not sure if i can stick with this rising sign because im not entirely sure. when he notices someone in need he will always help, if he cares enough though.
This person has come into the world wearing the mask of the Nurturer, the Healer, the Mother, or the Sensitive. Other images for Cancer include the Invisible One, Old Mother Hubbard, the Hobbit, the Rememberer or the Homebody. Less than optimal manifestations of this Ascendant might include the Smother-mother, the Clingy One, the Hypersensitive One, or the Crybaby.
The Style:
As with all water signs, this Ascendant is complex, so we’ll spend some extra time here.
Cancer doesn’t mean biologically female, but this is the sign of the archetypal feminine, the archetypal Great Goddess, the lunar counterpart to the Leonine Sun God. Think of Cancer as the epitome of “yin” energy, that which is nurturing, receptive, and fertile–and dark, mysterious, inward and unpredictable.
In prehistoric societies now lost in time, before we knew that sex led to babies, we might well have associated the creative function with women, who mysteriously brought forth children from their own flesh and blood. When not bearing children, and before the age of artificial lights, it’s likely that women’s cycles tended to attune themselves to the approximately twenty-eight day cycle of the Moon.
Until relatively recently in modern astrology, it’s been all too easy to dismiss the Moon and the yin territory that it rules, just as it’s been all too easy to dismiss the feminine. We would do well to remember that some of the earliest astronomical and astrological records were of the Moon’s cycle. The Sun rules the day and is predictably invisible at night. The Moon, who rules the night and the dark, is sometimes visible during the day and sometimes invisible at night. Yin energy is cyclical, too, sometimes dark and sometimes full, just as the Moon waxes and wanes and changes speed. The Moon rules over fertility and birth–and over the dark, the night, the real and imaginary creatures who walk there, and the ultimate night of death. As a midwife once told me, “Death is always present at birth.” Perhaps that’s one reason, apart from the Moon’s phases, why many lunar goddesses have more than one face: maiden, mother, crone.
The Moon rules the high and love tides of our oceans and of our emotional lives, whose karmic imprints we all carry. It rules the body’s automatic systems: digestion, endocrine, etc., all the bodily functions that aren’t under the conscious control of the mind. The Moon rules the fluids of which our bodies are mostly composed. It rules caves and the chthonic energy associated with them. It rules our ancestors and, I suspect, whatever known or unknown influences they have in our lives.
Just as people with Leo rising wear the Sun God’s energy and all it implies of archetypal kingship or even the godhead metaphorically imprinted on their faces, people with Cancer carry the full fluctuating weight of the Moon Goddess upon theirs. Someone with a Cancer Ascendant has reached an evolutionary stage where he or she should present a gentle, caring, tender and reflective face to the world. Remember that one of Cancer’s traditional symbols is the Crab, a delicate creature with a hard exoskeleton that helps it survive. A person with this Ascendant needs some “shells,” some protective mechanisms, some deflector shields. The development of enough discernment to know when to raise the shields and when to lower them is crucial. Otherwise, people with Cancer rising can go through life either inappropriately defended and defensive, or so open and vulnerable that they become codependent or are repeatedly hurt and manipulated. Years ago, I heard the astrology Richard Idemon call dysfunctional Cancer “the breast looking for the baby or the baby looking for the breast.” To that image I would add “the barnacle:” someone who’s shut down behind what could become a PermaShell, usually after bouncing back and forth between those breast-or-baby extremes and not yet integrating them.
People with Cancer rising should face life with imagination, receptivity, the full development of their feeling function and of a rich inner life, and as open a heart as possible consistent with their emotional survival. The fuel of whatever strengthens the feeling function and feeds the imagination and makes it fertile. The terrain is anywhere one must navigate by feeling, intuition and patience rather than by logic.
If the rest of the chart is self-contained and analytical, the Cancer Ascendant is intended to soften this person and help him or her be more aware of the feeling side of life. If the rest of the chart is creative or psychologically oriented, the Cancer Ascendant is intended to help give this person access to deep inner sources of self-awareness. In any case, this rising sign’s demeanor should convey the message: “Here is a sensitive, imaginative, empathic and supportive person, who may be quiet or unavailable at the moment, but these still waters run deep.”
If no one provided adequate nurturing in the Cancer Ascendant’s childhood, this person can become “the baby looking for the breast” and keep searching for someone to play mother, so that he or she can at last be the baby. On the other hand, these people may instead become “the breast looking for the baby” and mother everyone else, all the while ignoring their own needs, perhaps because it’s too painful to feel how those needs aren’t being met, or perhaps because they’re unconsciously hoping to get some mothering back eventually. Another reaction to inadequate early nurturing may be to give up on every finding any at all, and to withdraw–the “barnacle”–behind the Cancer shell. Such people may be very focused on themselves and on meeting their own needs, while those of others are given short shrift. If the childhood was chaotic, traumatic or dangerous, people with this rising sign can become extremely shy, cautious or self-protective. All of these types would do well to learn about healthy self-nurturing, aided by their own powerful feelings and potentially rich and fertile inner lives. Then it’s easier to relate to the outside world from a position of emotional strength and wholeness, rather than need or lack.
