Chapter Logic
The progressed Moon moves roughly one degree per month and spends about two and a half years in a sign, so Cancer describes a chapter rather than a one-day mood. Cancer gives the progressed Moon a water and cardinal style that tends to protect what feels personal.
The 12th House places the progressed Moon's current emotional development inside retreat, hidden patterns, solitude, dreams, and closure. The 12th House is cadent, so the progressed Moon phase often works through learning, adjustment, daily practice, retreat or private processing.
