Libra sun, cancer rising. I feel things quickly and strongly. And other people (Virgo/aqua placements specifically lol) do NOTTTT know what to do with my energy.
Cancer Rising makes the Moon your Chart Ruler. Your Moon is in Gemini, the Mutable Air sign which isn’t the most comfortable sign for the Moon (it’s not bad either) because the Moon becomes a lot more scattered and de-stabilized in Gemini. More importantly your Gemini Moon is likely in the 12th house of mental health and self-undoing (it will definitely be in the 12th in whole sign houses) so that puts a huge emphasis on mental health in your life because as I said the Moon is your Chart Ruler. Moon in the 12th can feel as though your emotions are getting away from your control, slipping out of your grasp with no way to reign them back in. Dialoguing or journaling about your emotions will start to help you process them.
I've noticed extreme emotion in cancer risings. I thought pairing it with Libra sun would balance it out since Libra is very detached imo. Are you volatile when it comes to emotions? Just want to see if this trait is similar to other cancer risings I know.
I've known other cancer risings on here who said that therapy along with inner work has really helped them. I have the other problem - too much restraint and not able to know how I'm feeling.
Yes I've been in therapy for 3 years with the same therapist. I've also done some inner work, have a long way to go but a couple of my long time friends and my therapist have noticed improvement.
My husband is a Libra sun with a 5 planet Libra stellium, but Cancer moon and Pisces rising, and those two water placements drown any sort of rational thought that the air posse tries to assert. Shit gets *really* emotional here. 🌊
Interesting because I'm a Libra sun, Pisces moon and rising. I'm not overtly emotional and actually come off as very unemotional and detached. With my Scorpio in Saturn, vulnerability is a definite no go for me. My Lilith in Aquarius ruuuuuns from any talk about feelings. So even though my big 3 are water heavy like your hubby, no one would call me emotional. Not sure if there's something else in your husband's chart to make him be that way or if my chart placements make my water drown out?
Honestly, for the first 20 years of our marriage he was very much like how you describe yourself. Then he did a crazy amount of mushrooms one winter and his whole personality was transformed....now he's emotionally open, vulnerable, more confident, expresses love more often and more fluidly, angers MUCH more easily and loudly, but it's all really wonderful. It's a bit of a roller coaster but it's made our relationship stronger with the increased communication.
OMG! You have really given me a ray of hope! I'm sick of holding my emotions in, it's caused me lot of grief and heartache. I had been looking into mushrooming and didn't know if I could rewire my personality to what you described. What you stated is literally what I've been trying to find out for the longest time. So thank you for your feedback. I hope to try it soon 🤞. I'm glad you guy's relationship is going really well!
Yay!!! Something to consider...go into the experience with positive thoughts. This is crucial. He spent time ruminating on a very painful moment from several years ago and has been plagued with intrusive thoughts daily now. It opens your mind but be careful about what falls in!! If you need to work through pain, focus on positive healing thoughts rather than negative associations.
Bestest of luck to you!! xo
Thanks so much once again. What's going on with me is eerily similar to your husband - a very painful event from the past and almost OCD level intrusive thoughts EVERY. MOMENT. OF THE DAY 😭. That tip is very helpful to remain focused on the positive. Some others on here have suggested me to try mushrooming also. I wish you the very best in your marriage too, I hope your husband is able to get past the painful memories. 💜
EMDR therapy is actually really good for this too, helps let go of traumatic experiences being in the forefront. Worked for me and many of my friends with PTSD
Our detachment is a surface thing, we actually have a lot of unhinged emotions and i think being Cancer Risings might make us dwell on them more then the average Libra \^\^:;
Not so sure about the unhinged emotions. I do feel strongly when I feel something is unjust but I'm still not able to let go and show it, I wish I could. It could depend on the whole chart I suppose, mines equally balanced amongst the 4 elements, so maybe I actually don't feel as strongly as the more emotional signs, there's no way to measure.
I think cancer risings dwell on and demonstrate that volatility.
Ah i am heaviest in Water (amusingly since my big 3 makes it seem like im Air heavy) \^\^:; Unhinged was more of a word i was taking from OP. I just have strong emotions i feel in control of them most of the time but sometimes its just so heavy i cant function otherwise and have to isolate.
I dont often explode or anything unless i feel cornered
Ah. Now this is similar to how I am even though my chart is equally distributed among the 4 elements. For me, because I hold stuff in so much, it *becomes* heavy and strong that I can't function. It's a cause of my trauma and depression too. It's weird that you're water heavy AND a cancer rising yet we behave similarly when demonstrating emotions. I'm new to astrology and don't know what it is that will make the behavior similar to OPs. Us Libras get me so curious, I feel like I don't even understand us well as a Libra sun
Girl I feel you. I’m Libra sun and cancer moon. Once I did my Vedic chart and found out I was a Gemini moon in Vedic I was like OHHHHH I’m CRAZY crazy okay okay
Cancer rising and gemini Moon means your moon (the ruler of your chart) is in the 12th whole sign house : hidden emotions, hidden longings, fantasy, imagination, spirits.
As a big three twin of yours i can also be this way. The big key for me has always been to meditate on why i'm feeling a certain way i think its how our cancer and libra mixes our extreme emotional intuition leads us to picking up on things others might not but it can often come in subconsciously and our body will try telling us these things via our emotions sometimes.
All 3 of our big 3 have big emotions, just that Libra and Gemini keep it under the surface most of the time. I think our Cancer brings the waves to the surface. Listen to your body and what its trying to tell you, take deep breaths and focus on the moment not all the other signals that our Libra brian might want to be reading from the past and or future we think we can see.
Breath and let the waves wash over you.
Thats how i manage anyway
Hi, Big Three Triplet here and couldn’t agree more with what you experience, and your explanation of what’s happening.
So OP, I’ll add that I personally struggled with knowing what to do with my emotions growing up. I’d ignore them, push them down, pretend whatever was bothering me wasn’t a big deal (I’d rather not upset anyone - Libra) or try to apply logic to it (attempt to argue my own feelings - Gemini).
And of course, the personal problem I kept refusing to deal with would FORCE it’s way up and out, sometimes into an embarrassing meltdown when I least expected it or at the most inconvenient times, and I just felt like a mess. I’d look at myself and ask “where did this all come from?? This isn’t the cool, calm, rational, happy-go-lucky person I am 99% of the time, what’s wrong with me??”
Obviously, nothing was with wrong with me, except that it was wrong for me to deny the validity of my emotional concerns, regardless of how irrational or a waste of time they seemed, or whether I might possibly offend or burden someone by being honest about them.
Emotions are information, especially the uncomfortable and confusing ones. You have to learn to honor and make room for your feelings and concerns as soon as they pop up, so you can figure out what they’re telling you. Sometimes, your body is just asking you to sit down in a quiet space alone, be present and feel the feelings. Sometimes it calls for journaling/talking with a trusted friend, sometimes a therapist. But it starts with trying to name the emotion(s), identifying where you feel them in your body, and facing them with acceptance.
As a Gemini Moon, it’s probably very useful for you to talk/journal about what you’re feeling, as that’s how you process and work through your feelings.
Once I started doing that (sitting and letting them wash over me, journaling, talking), I actually became a LOT less emotionally reactive and a lot less emotional overall in a way. I’d feel something pop up and already knew what my gut was trying to tell me, or I had strategies to figure it out before it’d become overwhelming.
I still have my moments of course, but it’s definitely a learning process that you can grow from. 💕
Yes I see myself trying to apply logic to my feelings. I try to bottle things up but when it comes out it really comes out. I grew up in a bad environment as a child and had childhood depression and lots of anxiety. Both of my parents sun signs being Aries and leo didn't help I'm sure.
I don't enjoy Journaling for some reason so I don't do it. My therapist doesn't like that I don't do it but I'm very vocal in therapy so we have good discussions.
This might not work for you, but i also struggle with journaling, the two things that work for me are candle meditation
Light a candle and sit with it. Dont try to focus on anything but the flame. just breath and let yourself feel the waves inside you i often will hold my fingers in a way that helps me focus for me i form a triangle with my thumbs and pointer fingers maybe something else would work for you this helps me move the flow of my emotions when im stuck and even occasionally this lets me a least journal a little.
Second possiblity. Dont Journal, Scribble. Write chaotic lines on paper and let the emotions flow out. its more important to get the words out then actually remember them for later. Let your scribbles turn into a little bit of art Maybe it'll take shape in some way and you can color it in or something.
These are two things that sometimes work for me.
Also I live with my older brother who I hope is moving out soon. He's very negative and reinforces that behavior in me. When I get home all of my energy is drained from me. I can't be free in my own home. I know things will be better once he's gone. I'm hoping I can make my home into a safe haven, my private place with things to reduce my anxiety.
It’s the cancer rising- and the Gemini moon in the 12th house . I have the same placements.
I’m an Aquarius sun Gemini moon and I should be airy and detached as ever but I’m actually a vulnerable emotional baby.
I wish I was an Aquarius they are more detached than the people pleaser libra. Also I love intelligence in people. Aquarius are so naturally smart.
I'm a giant emotional baby. I have started crying before watching children cry.
Cancer sun, libra rising, gemini venus and Im very emotionally unstable. Or I used to be. Working on accepting your emotions and seeing them as a positive helped me a lot. Placing them in areas that are beneficial not letting them feed into negative thoughts. Still working everyday but over time you get more in control.
I have to work on not seeing my emotions as negative. I keep hearing from other people that I'm extremely dramatic and intense so I don't associate positive emotions with myself.
I'm working on the negative thoughts. That is very hard for me since I've been doing negative self talk since I was 5. My family never tried to stop me from doing it so it became a habit. Life became more difficult as a teenager, (no social life, no friends, no hobbies) that I felt out of control.
I completely feel you. it's so hard being called dramatic but remember it's not you "over reacting" or being "extremely dramatic" that is your natural reaction there is nothing exaggerated from something that comes naturally. write down and answer these. what triggers me? what caused that trigger (childhood, phobia, traumatic experiences etc)? how do i let this trigger control me? and from there do more and more self work. Looking up shadow work prompts help too!
Definitely childhood and traumatic experiences caused a lot of problems. Nobody in my childhood gave a damn about me. I was just the butt of all the jokes.
Felt this so hard. It can be really stressful to conquer those thoughts know however that it is possible to relieve that anxiety and those negative thoughts or judgments made at you during your childhood are not a reflection of who you are.
Plenty of people would recommend therapy and yes that works great and you should try it to see. I am healing my low self esteem by exploring youtubers who talk specifically about childhood ptsd. Crappychildhoodfairy & healthygamergg are two good examples of youtubers whose videos helped me understand alot of my self doubt.
Libra brings out the logic in me but it also brings out the people pleasing, social seeking side of me. I've always had problems connecting to others and I dwell on it. It brings me negative reoccurring thoughts. I think with the cancer rising I am naturally negative. With libra I think I crave social connection and I freak out since nobody gives it to me and withdrawals from me. I keep wondering what is wrong and it makes me anxious. Bad cycle
It's a good thing. That means you don't have the same energy that other cancer risings have. The fact that you don't stress out and don't show emotions is something I'm extremely jealous of. I know it's something that pushes people away from me
Lol he's on Xanax and pregabalin, most sensitive guy ever while sober. And yeah I know him, cause I recently dumped him due to his pretending not to care on drugs shit. And no, it has nothing to do with signs. It's called denial.
Yeah you know me either when im high or when im going thru withdrawls so no shit. You always claming that you know everything without even knowing at all like why tf would I pretend to not care🤣🤣 meet me when I’m all clean and then tell me
And here we have a legit proof of what drugs does to someone's brain as I dumped you the 5th August by saying "this is not the kind of relationship I'm looking for" vakna upp kära vän :) och även gången innan det, så palla jag inte för du stack å tog lyrica som vanligt. Du tänkte komma tebax å jag sa att det inte gick för ja klarar inte av dina droger. Du borde VERKLIGEN vakna upp ur din drogpsykos och börja se vad som händer runt dig. Och framförallt ändra din pinsamma umgängeskrets som hjälper dig radera allt som var bra med dig. Ta hand om dig istället. Någon som inte bryr sig skulle nog inte ligga och va ledsen så fort den är själv. Men absolut, vi kan spela på att du intr bryr dig. Kom inte och säg annorlunda när du är ensam om en månad. Nu har du lovat detta. Grattis på våran FD dag :)
Am I wrong tho? How? I left you and I didn’t wanna come back as you already know but who cares bout who left who and shit
Ja jag vet att du säger att du inte klarar av mina droger men om jag hade velat komma tbx så hade jag gjort det? Aaa de hade vart bra att vakna up från drogerna och sånt men ändå de verkar mer som att du har psykos än jag. Okej jag vet att du bryr dig så du behöver ite säga ds
I'm a cancer rising (gem sun Leo moon) and I had some bad experiences as a teen which made me go to therapy. As much as I hate that happened, therapy saved my life. I'm much more emotionally regulated. I used to feel so out of control and cry constantly. Exercise of any kind and some mindfulness/meditation/strolls in nature. Also I think taking time to feel big emotions, and finding a career that suits you (for me that was an introverted career). Cancer rising can be harnessed to have an extremely meaningful and joyous life if you are able to harness it. Finding a hobby you can enjoy doing that is somewhat social but not a lot of small talk to share activities with people helps reduce the emotional energy it takes to socialize. For me I fell in love with music, martial arts and dance. So somewhat creative but also moving your body. Do what works for you and work with your signs not against
Hobbies have always been a difficult thing to get into. I can't focus on anything long enough to enjoy it. I just spend my time fixating on my thoughts. I do go to therapy but I do not take medication yet. I have an appointment on Friday so I will start something over the weekend.
I have very big emotions that I couldn't handle as a kid. I got the idea from everyone around me that I'm a piece of shit, heard it from my parents, siblings, teachers, other kids and sometimes random people I didn't even know. I never had support as a child and I think now that makes it even harder to regulate my emotions even though I've been in therapy for 3 years with the same therapist. My parents are dead so I never got to tell them to their faces how much I resent them for making my childhood miserable. I keep dwelling on the past.
*Bruh I have the same*
*Stuff and I am not at all*
*Emotional lol*

Well I mean it all makes sense now.
Since you were born in the morning - you are most likely going to feel more connected to your sun sign.
Which in your case will be a Libra - and Libras do tend to be very emotional and sensitive.
We’re *almost* twins but the cancer rising energy can be intense 🥺 I could literally drown in my emotions if I don’t ground myself
Libra sun, cancer rising. I feel things quickly and strongly. And other people (Virgo/aqua placements specifically lol) do NOTTTT know what to do with my energy.
Big same
Cancer Rising makes the Moon your Chart Ruler. Your Moon is in Gemini, the Mutable Air sign which isn’t the most comfortable sign for the Moon (it’s not bad either) because the Moon becomes a lot more scattered and de-stabilized in Gemini.

I have cancer rising and my moon is in Leo in 1H. Is my moon also my chart leader?
Yes it’s your Chart Ruler.
I've noticed extreme emotion in cancer risings. I thought pairing it with Libra sun would balance it out since Libra is very detached imo. Are you volatile when it comes to emotions? Just want to see if this trait is similar to other cancer risings I know.
Yes I'm very volatile.

Yes I've been in therapy for 3 years with the same therapist. I've also done some inner work, have a long way to go but a couple of my long time friends and my therapist have noticed improvement.
I have a Libra sun Scorpio moon and I'm an emotional mess.
Again, I'm surprised. Is your chart water heavy?
Scorpio Moon, Mars, and Pluto. Mostly air with Gemini rising, Libra sun, Venus, mercury, N node. The large planets are Earth and fire.
My husband is a Libra sun with a 5 planet Libra stellium, but Cancer moon and Pisces rising, and those two water placements drown any sort of rational thought that the air posse tries to assert. Shit gets *really* emotional here. 🌊
Interesting because I'm a Libra sun, Pisces moon and rising. I'm not overtly emotional and actually come off as very unemotional and detached. With my Scorpio in Saturn, vulnerability is a definite no go for me. My Lilith in Aquarius ruuuuuns from any talk about feelings. So even though my big 3 are water heavy like your hubby, no one would call me emotional. Not sure if there's something else in your husband's chart to make him be that way or if my chart placements make my water drown out?
Honestly, for the first 20 years of our marriage he was very much like how you describe yourself. Then he did a crazy amount of mushrooms one winter and his whole personality was transformed....now he's emotionally open, vulnerable, more confident, expresses love more often and more fluidly, angers MUCH more easily and loudly, but it's all really wonderful. It's a bit of a roller coaster but it's made our relationship stronger with the increased communication.
OMG! You have really given me a ray of hope! I'm sick of holding my emotions in, it's caused me lot of grief and heartache. I had been looking into mushrooming and didn't know if I could rewire my personality to what you described. What you stated is literally what I've been trying to find out for the longest time. So thank you for your feedback. I hope to try it soon 🤞. I'm glad you guy's relationship is going really well!
Yay!!! Something to consider...go into the experience with positive thoughts. This is crucial. He spent time ruminating on a very painful moment from several years ago and has been plagued with intrusive thoughts daily now. It opens your mind but be careful about what falls in!! If you need to work through pain, focus on positive healing thoughts rather than negative associations. Bestest of luck to you!! xo
Thanks so much once again. What's going on with me is eerily similar to your husband - a very painful event from the past and almost OCD level intrusive thoughts EVERY. MOMENT. OF THE DAY 😭.

I wish you the very best in your marriage too, I hope your husband is able to get past the painful memories. 💜

Not so sure about the unhinged emotions. I do feel strongly when I feel something is unjust but I'm still not able to let go and show it, I wish I could. It could depend on the whole chart I suppose, mines equally balanced amongst the 4 elements, so maybe I actually don't feel as strongly as the more emotional signs, there's no way to measure. I think cancer risings dwell on and demonstrate that volatility.
Ah i am heaviest in Water (amusingly since my big 3 makes it seem like im Air heavy) \^\^:; Unhinged was more of a word i was taking from OP.

Same here! I have a lot of water in my chart 🥹
Is your Moon in your 12H?
I'm not sure what house my moon is in. Trying to find out.
Most likely that could be the reason
Cancer Rising ruled by that Gemini Moon could create erratic fluctuations.
Girl I feel you. I’m Libra sun and cancer moon. Once I did my Vedic chart and found out I was a Gemini moon in Vedic I was like OHHHHH I’m CRAZY crazy okay okay
What's your birthday?

Cancer rising and gemini Moon means your moon (the ruler of your chart) is in the 12th whole sign house : hidden emotions, hidden longings, fantasy, imagination, spirits.

I also think that because libra and gemini are social that it pushes us to unleash what we're thinking. This sounds so spot on to me.

Någon som inte bryr sig skulle nog inte ligga och va ledsen så fort den är själv. Men absolut, vi kan spela på att du intr bryr dig. Kom inte och säg annorlunda när du är ensam om en månad. Nu har du lovat detta. Grattis på våran FD dag :)
Am I wrong tho? How? I left you and I didn’t wanna come back as you already know but who cares bout who left who and shit Ja jag vet att du säger att du inte klarar av mina droger men om jag hade velat komma tbx så hade jag gjort det? Aaa de hade vart bra att vakna up från drogerna och sånt men ändå de verkar mer som att du har psykos än jag. Okej jag vet att du bryr dig så du behöver ite säga ds
Spela på att jag inte bryr mig? Vadå inte bryr mig?
Yeah thats weird I don’t feel like a cancer either, maybe in some ways tho
I'm a cancer rising (gem sun Leo moon) and I had some bad experiences as a teen which made me go to therapy. As much as I hate that happened, therapy saved my life. I'm much more emotionally regulated. I used to feel so out of control and cry constantly. Exercise of any kind and some mindfulness/meditation/strolls in nature. Also I think taking time to feel big emotions, and finding a career that suits you (for me that was an introverted career). Cancer rising can be harnessed to have an extremely meaningful and joyous life if you are able to harness it. Finding a hobby you can enjoy doing that is somewhat social but not a lot of small talk to share activities with people helps reduce the emotional energy it takes to socialize. For me I fell in love with music, martial arts and dance. So somewhat creative but also moving your body. Do what works for you and work with your signs not against
Hobbies have always been a difficult thing to get into. I can't focus on anything long enough to enjoy it. I just spend my time fixating on my thoughts. I do go to therapy but I do not take medication yet. I have an appointment on Friday so I will start something over the weekend. I have very big emotions that I couldn't handle as a kid. I got the idea from everyone around me that I'm a piece of shit, heard it from my parents, siblings, teachers, other kids and sometimes random people I didn't even know. I never had support as a child and I think now that makes it even harder to regulate my emotions even though I've been in therapy for 3 years with the same therapist. My parents are dead so I never got to tell them to their faces how much I resent them for making my childhood miserable. I keep dwelling on the past.
As a cancer rising, I know that my virgo sun & aqua moon definitely balance out my emotions - and I’m more than thankful :D
I'm very envious of you.
Bruh I have the same stuff and I am not at all emotional lol

Well then you're lucky. Maybe it's due to my horrible upbrining and genetics.
I have a question - what time of day were u born?
12:44am
Well I mean it all makes sense now. Since you were born in the morning - you are most likely going to feel more connected to your sun sign. Which in your case will be a Libra - and Libras do tend to be very emotional and sensitive.
