Henri Rousseau’s birth chart
Moon in Cancer
21 May 1844, 01:00, Laval, France
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Henri as “you”.
The position of the Moon is a very important point of one's personal horoscope. In contrast to the Sun, the Moon travels much faster. It makes the entire path through 12 signs in one Moon cycle (which lasts approximately 28 days) and so changes its influence much more quickly. However, because of its size and proximity, its influence is the strongest for some individuals.
The Moon in personal horoscope presents your subconscious self, your emotions and sensations. Its position describes how you react on a subconscious and intuitive level.
Of course the Moon position acts completely differently on someone who has the Sun in Aries that on someone who has the Sun in Cancer. That is why it's important that you keep other analyses in mind when reading the horoscope and try to harmonize all of them.
Moon in Cancer
Because the Moon is home in Cancer sign, you are very sensitive to outer influences and negative vibrations of others and the environment; your impressions are strong, that is why you change your mood quickly and other people sometimes find you moody and incomprehensible.
You have strong energy, even in gentle, quiet and calm moments. If you are in a good mood, you are extremely witty (you have a good, but sometimes unusual sense of humor), fun, nice, compassionate and warm. If you are in a bad mood, it is clear that everyone around you feels bad. You are most probably prone to enjoying the peaceful surrounding of your home and family, you also love to travel.
Too sensitive for this world
It is very important for you to, when necessary, recharge your batteries and that you empty your tired, from all sides disturbed soul through creating in whatever area, but usually in artistic one, and thus find your peace again.
It is very advisable that you learn or improve relaxation and meditation techniques. You are probably very attached to your mother (your mother or another strong woman certainly plays a very important role in your life), however, this relationship can become problematic, if you don't leave your mother's nest soon enough.
You should avoid excessive self-pity, which is the cause of most of your problems and also avoid daydreaming and escaping into your past. A lot of times, you focus on past events or you, on the contrary, suppress them, which can cause numerous different problems, from stomach ulcer or acid to such severe diseases as cancer.
One more time: focus as much on yourself, as you do on others. Indulge in something nice and, what is most important, if and when you feel like it, some peace.
Moon in 5th house
You have an artistic and creative and usually a very warm and good-natured character. Although you have a moody personality and always react dramatically, you are an attractive, likeable and popular with friends and acquaintances, most often you are also a caring and loving family person.
Moon in domicile
You are sensitive to external influences and negative vibrations from others and from the environment; your impressions are strong, so you quickly change your feelings and others sometimes find you moody and you are not understood. If you are in good mood, you are very funny, fun, pleasant, compassionate and warm, if you are in a bad mood, it is clear that everyone around you feel bad. You are usually prone to enjoying family happiness in a calm home environment, but you also love travelling.
Moon conjunction Venus
Because of such an aspect, you are well-natured, kind and pleasant, often of beautiful or attractive look. You radiate warmth and positivity, which other people find hard to resist, that is why you are liked in various companies. You are a good host and always try your best for your guests, you are also very generous. You have a sense of beautiful and good things and often a natural talent for housekeeping and art. You also have a good nose for business, although you tend to act on a large scale and/or spend too much. You love nature and all beautiful things, but you also love pleasure; often you are also insatiable and consequently have increased body weight.
Moon inconjunct Saturn
You are usually more reserved and shy and you can seem cold and unreachable, so people don't always feel the most relaxed in your company. Unfortunately, you actually don't always relax in company; you often have a bad self-image and are too involved with worries and fears, also with opinions of others, so you often somehow stiffen in an emotional sense. It is important that you also acknowledge your emotional part and in it, nurture relaxation and acceptance.
Moon square Uranus
You are usually a dynamic, fast and restless person, you are often prone to being nervous and irritable. You change your mood quickly and are usually impulsive, you quickly get upset. You have plenty of unusual thoughts and ideas, but they are not always well understood or you don't always get the best response, because you tend to be cold and cynical and because of this, you make many situations harder and waste some opportunities. You are eager and impatient. You have a rebellious spirit and don't like working in preordained systems. You don't have the best opinion of authorities and are rather individualistic, that is why you sometimes cooperate with others with difficulties. It is advisable that you nurture compassion and caring, contact with animals is very useful for you.
Moon inconjunct MC
You are extremely ambitious and usually also quite enterprising, you often have a rather clear vision, only your intermediate steps cause you problems. Namely, you can see the goal, but not the course of events and sometimes, in your strong enthusiasm to achieve the goal as soon as possible, you can choose not the most honorary way to reach it. That is why you often have problems with unsporting people on your way to success, because you forget you can often quickly become just as unsupporting.
