An Astrological Sun sign, by definition, is
descriptive of our most inner self. Some
of the more gentle or subdued Sun signs can be highly influenced by other stronger
factors in the chart. This could include
several planets often linked by a Stellium in one house other than the house
ruled by the Sun sign. Another example
is a powerful rising sign which is enforced by many aspects from other planets. To a lesser extent, modalities, elements and
an emphasis in different house segments can also dilute the Sun Sign
characteristics. This is why some people
do not have a powerful identification with their Sun sign although the Sun sign
usually identifies us rather well deep within.
On June 22, this year (2017) the Sun will
enter the sign of Cancer.
Those with the Sun in Cancer are clearly
identified by their emotional state, which is subject to change depending upon
outside circumstances. One day they can
be uplifting and emotionally secure and the next day they may appear
emotionally upset and moody. It is
important that these highly sensitive individuals understand that their
emotions are affected by their surroundings.
Cancer individuals must always have a place of comfort and peace to
return to after a day of interaction with the world.
Most Cancer people are sensitive to the
needs of others as well as their own person needs. They are protective of others and their own
emotions and will fight for the underdog or those who are wronged. When confronted, they often hide behind a
wall of security which to others may seem hard to penetrate. Cancer individual’s emotions are actually
sensitive to criticism and many Cancer individuals hold on to these comments for
a long time. They are “feeling” people
and feel everything intensely. Because
of this, they protect themselves accordingly.
Those with strong Cancer tendencies are
nurturing to family and also those that could be considered family. Many are avid cooks and enjoy entertaining
those individuals that have a close place in their heart. Some are talkative, especially if they have a
strong Venus or Gemini character traits in their chart, but many are somewhat
subdues, preferring to listen rather than participate. Much depends on the overall astrological chart’s
condition.
As mentioned, Cancer’s need a private place
where they can recharge their emotional batteries, and their home has to
reflect this. Many will have their home
decorated in soft colours and filled with articles that hold memories as they can
be attached to the past. Family, children
and close friends are important to them.
They care deeply and will work tirelessly to keep these people in their
lives, but if emotionally hurt by them, Cancer individuals can resort to
letting them go from their lives, especially if they are emotionally hurt repetitively.
If there are other factors in the chart,
such as an emphasis in water, or a Grand Water Trine, or a close contact
between Neptune and Pluto, these individuals often has psychic tendencies. Some become intuitive or are born with some
traits links to the supernatural.
Cancer individuals can provide services
offering assistance to those in their times of need. They feel out situations and are highly
susceptible to outside influences. As a
result, Cancer people will have to be careful not to take
on energies of others while attempting to help them.
