My mother has Ketu/Moon in Cancer. And my brother have it in Leo.
For both, majority of planets are near Rahu and half way. Moon alone, but Kemadruma cancellation.
They also have in common Mars in Aries and Jupiter in Saggitarius. Nevertheless they have a pessimistic outlook on life. And quite fixed. The Jupiter of my brother is in 6th, my mother's Mars is agitated...
Both bright Moons.
"Only perfect feelings are permissible" make them to withdraw into themselves.
Nothing related to psychic realms for them, but the habit to go to their own enclosed space. Until sadness pass by...
My mum can be very good at uplifting others (except her own children, where she longs for perfection). But both of them are reluctant to be uplifted by others.
I can fall easily into the child mind. There I am still receptive to be uplifted. But it's not their case. They are very locked in themselves. I see in them more the parents' mind.
There is dependency in my brother, but I don't see it in my mother.
Maybe in him the separation of never being separated.
He was born in Ketu dasha, 0-6. His Sun GE in Capricorn, in 7th.
In his first 3 years, the father and a brother of my mother died, sad times.
Then when he was 3 I was born and my father's mum needed help, she moved with us and my mom took care of grandma and the 2 children. Another very stressing 3 years again, until grandma died. The 6 years of my brother's Ketu dasha. His entrance on life.
About the trauma my mother could have. Not sure I see it.
She was born the year the Spanish civil war started and his father after a while had to go to war.
He came back 3 years later as the war finished.
Later on, a bit before my little mum gets 6 her mother passed away while being pregnant by a doctor's mistake.
My mother was taken by an uncle and aunt. She felt loved by them and she says she never missed her mother. Even she doesn't remember anything about her own mother. She retains however the image of two coffins in a room, a big one and a small one.
She is quite dharmic, dutiful, righteous, honest, stable, accountable... but the years she had to take care of her little ones life didn't favor her motherhood. Instead she got a lot of stress circumstances.
She has most of planets in good dignity. But Saturn starving EX Venus and DB Mercury.
So that both Moon and Mercury have some affliction but also some good influences.
She has navigated life quite healthily. The most devastating event for her I'd say has been the death of her husband. At her old age. Otherwise, although not cheerful she has really kept strong and available to support others.
But why not cheerful? What about of her own needs?
As so many women of old times, just taking care of others... Not cheerful, still worried about her children's destiny and doubting if she did good, but otherwise content of what she got for herself and of her own choices.
