How your Cancer Sun and Virgo Moon work together

Sextile. Sun and Moon are in friendly, compatible elements, so head and heart cooperate more than they argue. Astrologers read this as what you want to do and what feels right being easy to line up with a little effort.

This reads the signs, not the exact degrees. The precise angle between your Sun and Moon adds detail that your full natal chart shows.
