Emotional intimacy and the moon

Hey, folks!

Due to my own recent "lunar" experiences I thought that perhaps the moon deserved some attention. I'll be interested in all of your input on this topic as we are all so different in respect to our emotional make-up, needs, expressions, and personalities.

I thought maybe ya'll would like to post your experiences in the following areas:

What is your moon sign?
What house is it in?
What house cusp does Cancer rule in your chart?
What "feeds you," emotionally?
What "trips your trigger" and makes you lose it on the emotional level?
Have you ever been involved in a "fateful attraction" inspired by your moon?
If so, what aspects and planets were involved, (if you know)?

Me?

Moon in Cancer in the 6th house conj the 7th
Cancer rules the 6th and 7th
I'm "fed" by emotionally and affectionately demonstrative people. I also love to take care of people, both physically and emotionally. I'm very protective of those I care about.
What "trips my trigger" and makes me lose it on the emotional level are insensitivy, abrasive language and actions, physical aggression, and abuse of any kind, especially towards the weak, (not necessarily towards me).
Yes, I have been involved in a "fateful attraction" involving my moon. Any aspects to my moon get my attention right away, but I've found that certain planets really hit me hard when in aspect to my moon, namely the sun or Saturn of another person. I find that my moon is completely overpowered by these planets and I am both attracted to and terrified by the person. Trust issues go through the roof because they tend to seek to dominate me. My initial response is recognition and a desire to explore the relationship, but once I open up I'm sunk because the emotional vulnerability cannot be re-voked without extreme effort and physical distance. The end result is resentment for feeling exploited because the sun or Saturn don't play "fair" or give back what was given to them.

What’s Your Animal Yoni?

Vedic astrology or Jyotish has a detailed method for analyzing the compatibility of two people's Moons. It is called the kuta system, and it compares two people's nakshatras (lunar asterisms) to reach a point total. Anything over 20 points is considered fit for marriage.

One factor that is interesting is the animal yoni. There are 27 nakshatras, and each nakshatra corresponds to either the penis or vagina of an animal. The yoni is supposed to tell you something about your sexuality, and even the size and shape of your genitalia. The most compatible combo is a penis and a vagina of the same animal. Animals of the same type (both predators or both ruminants, etc.) are also compatible. There are certain combinations (like cow & tiger or monkey & sheep - can't even picture that second one!) that are especially incompatible. Two vaginas are considered more compatible than two penises.

Without getting into the compatibility part, I am offering to plug your information into my software and tell you your nakshatra and animal yoni. Just post your birth info to the thread if you'd like to know.
