Comfort in Astrology

There are many places where you can find comfort in the natal chart. There are various kinds of comfort and reasons why you strive for that comfort. Where Taurus rules in your natal chart can show what physically comforts you. Where Cancer rules in your natal chart can show what emotionally comforts you. Finally, where Virgo rules in your natal chart can show what mentally comforts you.

These three signs have a strong connection to the Moon, the planet where we not only look for our emotional nature, but also how we seek comfort. Taurus is exalted in the Moon while Cancer is ruled by the Moon exoterically. Virgo is ruled by the Moon esoterically.

Looking where your Venus, Moon, and Mercury can often explain why we seek such comforts, whether it be physical, emotional, or mental. With these planets being personal planets, it’s important to note that we are often in great control with these planets, and that these planets are a strong part of ourselves. Other than the Moon, Venus and Mercury are often close to the Sun, the powerful ego we often seek to protect and maintain. Venus (our ideals) and Mercury (our mind) often work to do this.

If you have an interception in Taurus/Scorpio, you can often find that it can be hard for you to maintain comfort to feel healthily tangible. You may feel as if you are constantly being torn by uncontrollable circumstances. With an interception in Cancer/Capricorn, there is a struggle to channel and contain your emotions on certain issues that can often make you feel emotionally misunderstood. With an interception in Virgo/Pisces, you can feel as if your life is a blur, making your life quite confusing.

People are so quick to say that Cancers are weak crybabies when that is definitely not the case. Cancers are not weak. Cancers are in fact, brave.

Most people tend to run away from their emotions. Earth moons do this and disguise their escape as practicality and responsibility while air moons disguise their escape as logical and smart. Fire moons let their emotions run wild without consequences or fear.

With Scorpio and Pisces coming close, you’re not going to find a sign like Cancer. We tell them they’re weak for showing their emotions, yet we ignore the fact that releasing your emotions is not only healthy, but a brave act to do. Cancer is the sign who will openly make themselves emotionally vulnerable because they know for a fact that it’s the truly right thing to do. While we all hide our emotions, wondering how we could possibly handle our emotional messes while underestimating this sign, Cancer is emotionally nurturing others around them, for it is the most emotionally intelligent and kind sign out there.

You really can’t say Cancers are weak. They openly put themselves out there. They let their emotions out. Most people can’t do that.

I feel like Cancers need to be appreciated for all the hard work they do. Not only do they work hard to emotionally help others, they even make the selfless act of hiding their own emotions because they know the burden of emotional nurturing.

A Cancer Moon will try to bravely face their emotions head on, letting their strong emotions influence many of their actions and words. They can find themselves saying, “I NEED my emotions. Without my emotions, I don’t have a sense of DIRECTION. Without my emotions, I am LOST.”

A Scorpio Moon will try to investigate their emotions and figure out the world, letting their intense emotions take over them. They can find themselves saying, “My emotions are TELLING me something. I need to know what it is, and I won’t stop INVESTIGATING it. Once I find it, I’ll be emotionally at peace.”

A Pisces Moon will try to search for things not found in this world through their emotions, for they are willing to get lost in their feelings. They can find themselves saying, “My emotions can be quite CONFUSING, but somehow, some way, I will figure it out. I don’t know what I’m exactly looking for, but I feel that my emotions is the only way to find what I truly NEED.”

A water moon is very emotionally intelligent. Out of all the four elements, they acknowledge, take, and accept emotions as it is. Their emotions are truly authentic and raw, but despite all of this, their emotions storm and swirl under a still, tranquil demeanor.
