How strong is Moon here?

Angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th and 10th) sit on the four main points of the chart. Traditional astrology treats planets here as the most prominent and influential, because they sit on the chart's key points.

The 4th house corresponds to Cancer, ruled by Moon. Modern astrologers often see this as a natural fit, because Moon rules Cancer. Traditional astrology judges a planet's strength differently, by its dignity in the sign it occupies and by which house it takes its "joy" in.

House systems differ slightly, and the sign on the cusp of your 4th house adds detail. Your full natal chart shows the exact picture.
