Oh wow. Hey! You have the same planets as I do!
Yeah, our moon has a lot to do with our initial reaction to things. Thats why you feel like such a walking contradiction. I am not quiet, I am not shy, I am not susie home maker and I certainly havent had children yet. I mean, maybe I enjoyed some of those things when I was younger but when you have a sun where it is, you feel like youre emotionally going crazy.
For instance, my sag moon always gives me a positive outlook on things -especially in love. I constantly believe things will always get better... and I really cant stand anyone who is emotionally high maintenance. Who has time to be that melancholy and negative when theres so much awesome life to live? And Im constantly wanting to travel to new places and learn new things. Sure, there are times Id like to cocoon up at home and recharge my batteries but most of the time, Id rather be going somewhere else.
On the other hand, kodak commercials can make me tear up and theres nothing I like more than a good romance. And, Im a bit of an empath. I'm addicted to the food network and I feel a bit of a maternal pull when I see little ones. So yeah, the key is to balance the fire and the water energies for a perfect steamy combo.

i have a sag rising, so i can empathize a bit here...

just remember that people aren't "one way" every day, all the time. we are hypocritical and contradictory by nature!

and with cancers, our moods change, and our "bipolarness" (esp with a fire influence in the big 3) can be all over the place

I'm not a fire moon sign.. but I have a Gemini Moon (I'm a Pisces Sun, Mercury and Venus), so yeah I feel like a walking contradiction too a lot of times lol. I'm naturally a shy, quiet, sensitive and emotional person, but sometimes my Gemini Moon makes me want to talk and analyze and I even seem detached from my emotions sometimes.
