The Moon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/horoscopes\/daily\/cancer\/\">Cancer<\/a> is ruled by the moon (not really a planet but it is considered so in astrology). The <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/astrology\/ruling-planets\/moon\/\" data-type=\"as_learn_article\" data-id=\"34785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moon<\/a> is the closest celestial body&nbsp;to our Earth\u2014and the one that affects our moods&nbsp;the most. The moon rules the&nbsp;&#8220;inner&#8221; self, arousing our deepest soul desires and emotional cravings. In ancient Greek mythology, Serene served as the goddess of the moon, driving her horse-led chariot through the night sky. Although there are multiple lunar deities, all of them are depicted as feminine or female in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"as_toc_cancer_love_and_compatibility\">Cancer love and compatibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In love and relationships, <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/horoscopes\/daily\/cancer\/\">Cancer<\/a> is the sign of family and home.
