Time, for the Cancer Moon, is sticky with attachment. You know those people who never want to go anywhere and, as soon as you pry them out of their nest and into the outside world, never want to leave? That's Cancer Moon.

If Cancer Moon wakes up in bed, then they really just want to stay in bed. No! They don't want to get up. Not quite yet. They'd rather linger, attached to the scent of their pillow which they've hugged for a night now.

After Cancer Moon gets to breakfast, which they eat religiously because three meals a day regulates their stomach, they linger there too. Oh, they'll just have one more cup of tea or coffee to help digest the first meal of the day. With the drink, they must read a book of a book or the news. If Cancer Moon got up early enough or if they have the day off, they might just linger at the breakfast table for a good hour or two. If they happen to get on the phone in the morning, they'll never be the first to hang up. They'll stick around for a good hour or two after they've said goodbye the first time around.

These people can sit in one place for around seven hours without getting up, excluding bathroom use and getting food or water. They will sit there with their little tea and a book or their work computer. And they will not move.

Getting out of the home takes a time, of course, if Cancer Moon plans on leaving at all. It's not about dressing up or appearances. The Cancer Moon largely walks around outdoors in the ensembles that they wear at home—loose, comfortable, and something covered with cat hair. They don't wear clothes that make them look pretentious or like someone who they're not. They dress for comfort and comfort only.

What makes a Cancer Moon spend a long time getting out of the house is simple psychological preparation or what some people might call dilly dallying. They need time to walk in circles, realizing that, "Oh okay, I'm about to leave my home which is my shell. Outside, anything might happen. Oh man, oh man, I gotta get ready for that."

When a Cancer Moon does leave their home, they do so with a plan. They'll stop by the grocery store after work today and they'll pick up a little treat during lunch. If they see a friend, they'd prefer to know ahead of time. On top of all of that, Cancer Moon would prefer to know if they are eating after they leave the house, when, and what they might be eating.

You see, Cancer Moon has a stomach that expresses itself. Home cooking, that stomach can take. As soon as Cancer Moon leaves the home? The stomach starts to complain. Time is ticking—if you ate right before leaving, then you have a good four hours before you become hungry again. If you are still outside when you become hungry again, then you might need to eat something that disagrees with your stomach and, if that happens, then you'll feel some amount of discomfort or even pain.

How a Cancer Moon interacts with their sensitive stomach depends on the person. Some Cancer Moons pack snacks that work for them. Other Cancer Moons walk around with stomach troubles and don't complain. Some Cancer Moons simply limit how much time they spend outside of the home and pack a lunch for work.

Of course, there are the Cancer Moons who are out all the time. What you'll notice about these Cancer Moons is that they have found a way to make some part of the outside world feel almost like their own home.

They go to the same dim sum parlor every weekend and the staff starts to feel like family. They walk around the block and run into five friends who they know they can visit randomly anytime. They go to their job or their gig where they're stored five sweaters and sometimes sleep. They have an art studio or a very cluttered car where they keep a small nest.

As long as a Cancer Moon is comfortable, their stomach is peaceful. When they are not comfortable, they rely on soup and warm water.

For those who hang around a Cancer Moon, they will usually find that Cancer Moon is quite easily located. They have a predictable set of locations where they might be and, if they are not at any of those locations, then they are typically just at home. The Cancer Moon likes to do the same grocery run every week, the same bike ride every season, text the same friend everyday, and see the same set of people every week. Being predictable makes Cancer Moon comfortable. It also gives those who are close to Cancer Moon the feeling that Cancer Moon will always stick around. People who like this feeling will call it a feeling of security and people who don't will complain that Cancer Moon never leaves.

Cancer Moon is a very regulated Moon placement. They have their routines. They eat certain foods, mostly soupy ones, again and again. They have their show that they're watching and they do their morning pages. Once a day, they water their plants. These people are as predictable as cats.

When the Cancer Moon comes home, the first thing that they usually do is protect the home. They will lock the doors and shut the blinds. They will leave their shoes at the door and take a shower. The Cancer Moon protects the different parts of their home using varying levels of security rituals. Outside shoes don't belong in the home the same way outside clothes, which can be worn around the living room, do not belong in the bed. The coat, if worn, should not go on the couch because the coat has picked up outside scents from the train.

Does this mean that the Cancer Moon runs a clean home? You'd be very surprised at just how many dirty as hell Cancer Moon are out there. Oh sure, the clean ones exist and they live very well. But many Cancer Moons, who get stuck in their own routine, don't seem to mind their own dust. If it came from their own body, why would it cause them any discomfort? It's not like they're trying to impress anyone. They would much rather be comfortable in their own skin.

But a Cancer Moon's bed, whether the sheets are changed often or seldom, is usually a sacred place. They don't invite many untrustworthy people into it. Once Cancer Moon has done their nightly rituals, they collapse into bed, their ultimate source of attachment and comfort, with joy. Bed is a place where they don't have to move, not for the next eight hours at least.
