Sun in Pisces Moon in Cancer Compatibility

This post looks at the compatibility between the combination of Sun in Pisces Moon in Cancer.

This is one of the most emotional unions around. Sun in Pisces’ sensitivity to all people blends with Moon in Cancer’s sensitivity to her nearest and dearest. While Pisces has difficulty protecting himself from external energies, Cancer can teach him a thing or two about creating a protective shell. At the same time, she’ll understand exactly where he’s coming from.

Although “she” is used for the Moon and “he” is used for the Sun sign, these pronouns are only used for convenience.

You can look at a man’s Moon and a woman’s Sun, or the Moon and Sun placements for the partners in a same-sex couple.

Sun in Pisces

Sun in Pisces empathizes with everyone. He is the universal sponge, absorbing people’s pain and joy.

This makes him the most sensitive and romantic of partners, although his lover may be perturbed when she realizes that he can feel just as much for the person down the street (who needs help).

Sun in Pisces must work on firming up his boundaries. This will enable him to block out people who are negative influences, while allowing him to focus on his primary relationship (and his goals).

Having said this, he’ll always have a connection to the greater force that lies beyond most people’s understanding.

Moon in Cancer

Moon in Cancer feels for the people closest to her. Highly protective, this nurturing sign restricts her feelings to those she considers family (including her partner).

While this makes her suspicious of outsiders and slow to open up, it allows her to be selective about her emotional involvements.

At her core, Moon in Cancer is so giving and sensitive that she would be overwhelmed if she didn’t put up a shell. Her partner will note her extreme sensitivity if he says something that she interprets as ungrateful or neglectful.
