SUN IN CANCER

June 21 to July 22

Your Astrological Sign, Zodiac Sign, Star Sign, and Sun Sign are all names for the same thing. They represent the constellation on which the Sun appears to travel at the time of your birth.

Knowing your Sun Sign is akin to having an owner’s manual. There are characteristics that are hard-wired into your sign that shape the way you relate to the world. When you understand your true nature, you can fully express your purpose.

RULING PLANET:  MOON   

The Moon is one of the two luminaries of the zodiac (the other being our Sun). Though not technically a planet, the Moon is considered one in astrology. The Moon is your inner world, soul, and psyche.

Feminine by nature, the Moon is receptive and nurturing. That’s why la Luna often represents your relationship to your mother in your birth chart and all the important women in your life. The Moon represents all that is instinctual, including your intuition. She represents your emotions and all that transpires in your inner realm.

ELEMENT:  CARDINAL WATER   

Cardinal signs initiate seasons. They are pioneering and enterprising. Their role is to initiate new paradigms and ideas.

Water has no natural boundaries. It takes the shape of its container. When a person looks into the water, their image is reflected back to them. Water signs often cannot distinguish their emotions from others. They are empathically sensitive. Water takes on many forms – it can be frozen solid or flowing liquid. Water can be a gentle stream or a formidable wave.

These signs are therefore very adaptable. They will deeply feel the full range of feelings and can have immense emotional intelligence. Their sensitivity can foster heightened intuition and creativity.

CANCER EXPRESSION:  NUTURING AND SECURITY

Cancers are natural nurturers. Cancer’s instinct is to protect others, as well as their sensitivity. If they appear guarded, it is only to protect their deep well of emotions.

Being a water sign, they are meant to experience a depth and breadth of emotions. Ruled by the Moon, their emotions can change like the tides, which gives the effect of them appearing moody. They are simply tapping into a deep reservoir of feelings.

Cancer’s role is to provide emotional security for themselves and their loved ones. They tap into the wellspring of their creative soul.
