In all the above mother/nurturing has played an important role in their development. That is, their sense of being safe - or not - in the world has been defined by their early relationship with mother. Their role in the world at large is influenced - usually unconsciously - by this primal relationship....
Work chosen may reflect Cancerian values, such as caring for and nurturing others. It may also be connected to the home or the home life. A lot will depend upon natal Moon sign and house, etc.
Having a Cancer MC does not necessarily determine the nature of the `bond' with the mother, but rather the experience a person has with their early relationship with the mother usually determines their approach to the world at large. For instance, the person I mentioned in post #3 who is a uni lecturer is my oldest brother. He experienced our mother as being very supportive of him, and giving him a sense that he could do whatever he wanted to do cos he was terrific (I had a totally different experience of her!!), so he set his sights high, but never lost sight of the need to be available and nurturing to his students.I have a friend with Cancer MC, and she does not have a close emotional bond with mother... Rather quite the opposite, I don't think they ever share close emotions. But she do have a serious attitude towards her vocation... (But she is a Taurus sun also, and moon in sag). But can Cancer MC be interpreted as the mother beeing more of an authority figure? Just guessing here, this got me a bit confused.
LittleMiss, that is a very, very clear description of what I took too many words to say!!Aha, I think I understand: - Cancer on the MC indicates that the mother (symolised by Cancer) affects how the person comes out to the public world (MC)?
And I think you have described your friend's situation with Cancer MC really well. With career being a big topic of conversation in her family, it is obviously high on their list of values, so your friend is motivated to do well in this area of her life.I think I see what you mean by your examples. It got me thinking - my friend has a very serious attitude towards her vocation - maybe as a way to get her mothers aproval also? And I think that work/vocation is a big subject for conversation in her family. And allthough she does'n share a very expressiv - emotional bond with her mother,the mother affects how she feels about herself a great deal, and is a big part of my friends life.
