The Moon and your dreams
Moon in Cancer
and your dreams
A sign of water and memory
Dreams of home, family, childhood memories.
Two and a half days a month
When the Moon crosses
Cancer
About two and a half days a month, the Moon moves into Cancer. Tradition links these nights to home, roots and memory.
If you dream of home, family, childhood memories on those nights, your dream may reflect a need for protection, or a memory coming back.
For reflection, not a prediction.Coming up

Common questions
The Moon in Cancer, in questions.
How long does the Moon stay in Cancer?
About two and a half days, once a month. The exact dates change from one month to the next.
Natal Moon or Sun sign?
Your Sun sign depends on the day you were born. Your natal Moon depends on the hour: it is the sign the Moon was in at that moment. The two are often different.
Is this a prediction?
No. It is a reading for reflection: what the sky of your night may reflect of your dream, never what will happen to you.
