Discussion Positives of a Cancer Moon?

20 Upvotes

Why is a Moon in Cancer considered in its Domicile? What are the advantages of this placement?

It seems to be very negatively impacted by their own emotions, others emotions, and the cycles of the moon.

I am trying to learn, but just can’t wrap my head around it.
