CANCER
June 21—July 22
Cancer is the sign of the home and family, particularly the mother and if you’re a Cancer those things are important to you. If you had a dysfunctional relationship with your mother and didn’t get the nurturing you needed, you may try to get it from every person you meet or try to take care of everyone in your life, despite their protests.
Cancers can be sensitive and if you’re a high level Cancer your sensitivity to others is life affirming. You spread your wings and everyone in your environment feels supported and taken care of. If you’re a low level Cancer you respond to every real or imaginary slight in sight. Your feelings are easily hurt and being self-centered, they are infinitely more important than other peoples. George W. Bush is a Cancer. Instead of being the Nurturer in Chief, he was the Chief Destroyer.
Cancers, low or high level, like a feeling of rootedness to feel secure. Yet, sometimes Cancers grow the most when they don’t have a secure place to call home. A high level Cancer, the Dalai Lama, has made the whole world his home, after being evicted from Tibet by brutal Chinese landlords.
A low level Cancer can be overwhelmed and controlled by her or his emotions. Once Cancer moves beyond his or her own personal feelings, however, she or he becomes a reservoir of compassion. Cancer is a cardinal sign, which means it likes to take action and Cancer takes action to protect others, to work for the common good. Having a high level Cancer on your side is like having angelic protection. High level Cancers, like Senator Elizabeth Warren, work tirelessly for the middle-class and protect consumers. Another high level Cancer is former Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, who still works night and day to put workers rights on the front burner.
Alan Oken says the following in Soul Centered Astrology about a high level Cancer: This individual “would be found hard at work trying to feed the homeless, creating projects for the best use of agricultural lands, and generally devoting his life to the cohesive networking of men and women of goodwill.”
While the Sun is in Cancer, people are generally more sensitive and security conscious. Home and family are in focus, with the domestic arts taking precedence.
If you’re an Aries, the Cancer month will be spent tending to the home and domestic concerns, including focus on family members. A Ta**us, on the other hand, will be spending time improving his or her communication skills, talking, writing, being nurturing with siblings, and making short distance trips.
A Gemini will be tending to money matters and wondering why they insist on clinging to all their possessions. A Cancer will be paying attention to their appearance and working on their self-expression. It’s time to come out of your shell.
A Leo might be moping around when they have to spend more time by themselves, and getting in touch with their hidden insecurities, before their yearly debut in the month of August. It’s Virgo’s month to nurture friends and join groups for the benefit of humanity, while Libras will be out in the public, working on their careers and standing in the community.
For Scorpio it’s time to travel and learn, focusing on education and associating with people from foreign countries, or publishing that book. During the Cancer month Sagittarius will be spending more time pondering s*x, death, and other people’s money. Capricorn will develop and examine relationships and attract more clients. Aquarius will be focused on work and health related issues while Pisces will be having a merry old time with children, lovers, parties and casinos.
