The Sun moves from the Mutable, Air sign of Gemini into the Cardinal, Water sign of Cancer on June 20, 2024. This is a huge transitional position when you think of the personalities involved. Gemini is inquisitive and thinking and very much into communication, while Cancer is emotional, sensitive and very much into feeling. The senses are open and operating at full capacity when we speak of the sign Cancer.
Those
individuals that are born on the cusp of Cancer and Gemini will share some of each
sign’s character traits; while the deeper we go into the sign of Cancer, the
more the qualities of Cancer become apparent.
The Sun has
an orb of influence of 16°. There will
be individuals that have other indicators within the framework of their chart
that puts emphasis on different signs and the Cancer traits may not shine
through (as with any sign). Much depends
on the overall picture of the natal or birth chart.
An example,
someone who has their Sun in the very early degrees of Cancer (therefore having
some Gemini traits) may also have Mercury and Venus in Gemini and the rising
sign of Gemini. All of these planets in Gemini emphasize the Geminian traits
but being in the first house (with Gemini rising) ignites Aries tendencies as
well because the first house is naturally ruled by Aries.
Cancer is a
sensitive sign, emotionally driven and has strong nurturing tendencies. Family and the family of friends are
important factors in their lives. Cancer
individuals would likely consider themselves homebodies and their home
environment needs to be peaceful and comfortable as this is where they can
recharge their emotional batteries. They
are often quite affected by their surrounding and some take on the energies of
others, so they need a place where they can unleash and rewind.
Cancerians
can be action oriented and restless under the right conditions but also prefer
to sit in comfort and watch TV or settle into gentle conversation with those
that matter. Their children and often
their parents play an important part in their lives. Being a mothering type, Cancerians
would like to help where they can. They
feel deeply and have a hard time keeping emotion inside although their symbol,
the crab, can put up defense by going within the protective shell. They are more sensitive than they would like
to admit. Some see their emotions as a vulnerability
and do their best to show strength by hiding their emotions somewhat, but this
can also be quite difficult. Emotion is a
virtue not a vice. As much as they need
to nurture, they also need nurturing themselves.
Heritage
and the past are important to a typical Cancerian and their memory is usually
quite factual as they remember more than most.
They are also very much into cooking, at least most of them, and they
can be quite the master chef. Some are
also into antiques and have a close tie with the past.
When
emotionally hurt, Cancerians don’t forget.
Hurt runs deep and although they try to hide it, they hold on for far
too long. It is not that they can’t
forgive but emotional hurt takes a long time to heal.
Many Cancerians
are kind, gentle individuals that will do almost anything for you. They are a friend that you can rely on, but stand
on the wrong side of their temperament and you may not remain a friend for too
long. As they mature into themselves,
they often learn to curb their emotion or at least try to accomplish this.
Cancer
individuals should recognize that their emotional response is a strength and
not a hinderance.
