Okay, so the other day I was messing around with my birth chart, you know, just for fun. I’m a Cancer sun, which everyone knows means I’m basically a homebody who cries at commercials. But then I saw I’ve got this Aquarius moon and Virgo rising thing going on, and I was like, “Wait, what does that even mean?”
So, I started digging. First, I just Googled “Cancer sun Aquarius moon Virgo rising” – super scientific, I know. I found a bunch of stuff, some of it made sense, some of it was just…astrology-speak that went way over my head.
My Deep Dive (Kind Of)
I spent like, an hour, maybe two, just clicking around. I landed on some forums, read some blog posts. It was a whole thing. I even tried to find some YouTube videos, but honestly, a lot of them were just people talking at the camera, not really explaining anything. I just have zero trust about it.
- Cancer Sun: I already knew this part. Emotional, sensitive, loves being cozy at home. Check.
- Aquarius Moon: This was the tricky one. Apparently, it means I’m emotionally detached? Which, okay, sometimes I am. Like, I can be super empathetic, but also, I need my space. I realized I value my independence a LOT.
- Virgo Rising: This, I think, is why people sometimes think I’m a bit…critical. I just like things organized! It’s not that I’m judging, I just see how things could be better. I noticed this is especially true with my work and how I, like, arrange my spice rack. Alphabetical, obviously.
Putting It All Together (My Best Guess)
I’m a Cancer that craves security and comfort, I value my friends and family, I want that warm, fuzzy feeling.
But that Aquarius moon throws in this need for independence and intellectual stimulation, and I just want to do own my things and own way.
My Virgo rising makes me a perfectionist and when I focused on something, I can’t stop until it done, like a “Virgo” way.
So yeah, that’s what I did. I went down an astrology rabbit hole, and I think I came out with a slightly better understanding of myself. Maybe. It’s all still a bit confusing, but hey, at least now I have a better answer when someone asks me about my “big three.”
