It has wanted more direct sun for a long time. I'm not sure what to do now. How much sun can you possibly move it to?

I can get it in a window that gets direct eastern sun for a good few hours in the am. My other options gets bright sun most of the day. Do you think I should prop each "arm" up a support?

Opt for the most sun you can give it, and aclimate it over a week or two to prevent sunburn. It doesn't look like it's falling over but you're in a better position to judge it's support needs. Do you know what kind of cactus it is?

I dont' know what it is, my boyfrined got it about 6 years ago. I am moving it to the sunny window, in the same room it was in but closer to the window. I propped up the arms and hopefully it will go okay. Thanks for your advice. I know its kind of a weird one.

It looks like prickly pear from the base. The narrow "arms" are searching for sun, like margaret said.
