Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.
How he loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
