Do your Sun sign and your Moon sign share the same element? How does this make you feel? What are the pluses? The challenges? Are you happy with it?

Are your Sun and Moon in different elements? How do you feel about it? Again what are the pluses and the challenges? Are you happy with your Moon and Sun?

Obviously my Sun and Moon are in different elements. My Aries Moon is like an overactive inquisitive child, always into something and trying to be the boss, often speaking before thinking. My Taurus is Sun is like a mother to a fractious moonchild, gently guiding it along and trying to keep it safe. My Sun lets my Moon know that "thinking" is actually an activity and can be used to one's advantage. My moon gets my Sun fired up. Lazy Taurus? Huh? That's not me. Relaxation is a reward for accomplishing a goal.

Yes, I am happy with my Moon and Sun signs and have learned a balance between the two which makes me an atypical Taurean perhaps, but one who's busy, enjoying fun, and exploring everything this world has to offer.

My sun is in water and my moon is in air so it makes my wants and impulses extremely contradicting but it has its advantages. I am able to think out my emotions almost like from a third persons perspective before acting on them, this also might be because my mars is in an earth sign so I am more cautious about my actions. And I am also able to put myself in someone elses shoes and be empathetic to almost any situation. The only huge draw back is relationships because who I am/want and what I need are two completely different things.

Different elements.

Sun fixed water

Moon mutable air

I like my combo.

Pluses are flexibility, communication, objectivity and a lively quality from my moon that help to lighten me up.

Challenge mainly is sometimes experiencing either too much restlessness or stagnation. But who knows if my sun/moon really explains that. When I have too much caffeine, like I did this afternoon, I'm in both states at the same time.

it def has pros and con's i'm always always positive and get the best results because i chose the hardest way to do things because i believe that brings the biggest growth in life, this is so true, canc sun sag moon.

Sun in Cancer/Moon in Sagittarius:

Starry‐Eyed

You have a nature that is two-sided and like most Cancers, a personality that needs a

home, vocation and security. At the same time the Sagittarius side wants adventure,

romance and freedom in general. This dream will always be a part of you even though

you might be more conventional with your profession and life style . Your Sagittarius

Moon gives you optimism, faith and hope for the future so you are not the ordinary

gloomy Cancer. You are open-minded and cheerful no matter how many difficulties

you are encountering. You have a positive outlook on life. There is a spirituality about

you and this makes you idealistic and talkative. Your lifetime has been one filled with

lofty goals and numerous dreams and because you possess high standards, you do

not settle for second best. You have an expansive vision and find it difficult to narrow

things down. When you think of all the terrific things you are interested in, you can

lose your sense of self. It is hard for you to choose only one. Your efforts can be

sabotaged by these internal longings, particularly when you are overworked or have a

lot of responsibility and drudgery in your life. Do you sometimes instantly leave what

you are doing and chase after some farfetched fantasy? Rather than abandoning your

structure, projects and responsibilities, you should be sure to allow time for

contemplation, music and travel. You appear carefree and free-spirited in your social

life and this implies an enthusiastic, outgoing and trusting person. You are, however, a

lot deeper than you generally seem to be. You are fascinated by new ideas and are

philosophically minded. You dig deeper and are never satisfied with what is only on

the surface. You want the real and true meaning of things. You find it hard to focus

your affection but you are very trustworthy and loyal when you love someone. Sticking

with one partner might be difficult because you get bored easily. Things that fulfill your

desire to be an adventurer should be allowed too. Get on a plane or train and permit

your being to escape. You always speak your mind directly and candidly. You are

fundamentally an emotional being and your tastes are frequently grounded in gut

reactions. You say things that are regretted later because your emotions are the boss

and as a result you need to develop some tact or you will lose friends

I often forget my sun and moon are the same element. Double Air. @Damnata tells me it's a good thing.
But what do you feel about it? Are their positives and challenges to a airy sun/moon??
I feel the biggest challenge, when your luminaries are trined, is accepting that your thoughts do not equal your identity.

I tripped up myself into that trap all the time. I used to believe just because I'd had a day full of downer thoughts, that was a reflection upon who I was and where I was headed in life. It's not. Anyone can find triggers to clear their mind of thought at any time, and see they haven't disappeared along with them.

On the positive side, I come off as very calm to others. Especially calm under fire.

You do appear to be very even tempered all of the time. When others are engaging in a forum slugfest, yours is the voice of reason. Always. I admire that ability.
