Sun in Cancer

Jun 21, 2015 to Jul 22, 2015

Cancer is the sign of the Summer Solstice, the beginning of the warmest season of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the first water sign of the Zodiac, representing the forming of identity around home, family and personal experiences.

Cancer is associated with the Moon, planet of emotions and feelings. This reminds us of the deeply sensitive nature of this sign, a quality that enables Cancer to respond to the needs of others in a caring manner. But, it also can represent a highly subjective nature that finds it difficult to step back and see itself with detachment.

The Mother

Mother symbolizes the unifying force of family consciousness. She brings life to babies and is the center of domestic life. Cancer’s connection with the mother is clear through its role as a nurturer and protector. The passage of the Sun through this sign is a reminder to all of us to listen to our inner feelings and to respond to them in a constructive matter.

Holding onto the past, to relationships and useless objects are negative expressions of Cancer’s energy. Ideally, this sign connects us to a source of vitality that gives us the energy to move on, rather than cling to old, outmoded patterns.

Building Nests

Cancer builds nests. It gathers materials and people to give birth to new groups, companies and organizations. As the first sign of a season, it is cardinal (initiating) in nature. But, as a water sign, it bends to external forces, preferring to go around obstacles, rather than meeting them head on.

Although considered moody, the Crab can be very tenacious. It is guided by internal feelings, rather than external values. This provides a rich source of motivation, even when working alone. This reminds us that when we touch our core, we find an enormous river of personal energy to propel us forward in life.

The Tough Cancer

The sign Cancer has a reputation of being rather warm and fuzzy. While caring for others is certainly part of its make-up, there are those born under this sign who express themselves quite differently.

Cancer business giants John D. Rockefeller, Ross Perot and Richard Branson used their toughness and determination to build enormous commercial empires. Navy Seal turned pro wrestler Jesse Ventura used his will to become the governor of Minnesota.

Crabs can climb the ladder of success when their emotions are channeled into the present, rather than spent clinging to the past.

Famous Cancers

Cancer feeling expresses itself through the work of Meryl Streep, generally considered the greatest actress of our time. Tom Hanks, Kathy Bates, Tom Cruise, John Cusack and Harrison Ford are other prominent Cancer actors.

Sweet sounds come from Cancer singers Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt and George Michael. Mike Meyers and Ringo Starr reflect the humor of this sign. July 1 is the birthday of Cancers Liv Tyler, Pamela Anderson and the late Princess Diana. The range of this sign is enormous, stretching all the way from diet guru Richard Simmons to the Dalai Lama.

 Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, June 23rd

Aries 

This is a good day for sticking to what you know and getting your work done, dear Aries. It’s better to follow the rules just for now, as there is a general tendency to misjudge matters, partly due to temporary lack of confidence and partly because it can be difficult to think clearly today. If you are uncertain about something important, save it for a later date. There may be some confusion related to learning, educational, communication, or transportation matters. Nobody can push you into doing anything today – they will have to wait until you say go. If you’re feeling hesitant about a project or presentation/idea, take a little more time to get things right.

Taurus

Adjustments may need to be made today, dear Taurus. You may have misjudged the time required to finish a task, or the resources you needed. Decision making is difficult today, but it may very well be for good reason. You may be especially sensitive to what others are saying or doing, but try not to over-react. With today’s planetary arrangements, it’s difficult to see things clearly. Financial matters may also need attention, and it will be important to avoid lending or borrowing just for now. There can be a disagreement or misunderstanding about money with a partner or friend today. More creative and imaginative activities are likely to fare a lot better now.

Gemini

You may feel guilty if you pursue your desires today, dear Gemini, as reminders of what you should be doing seem to be everywhere. Changes of plans can be frustrating, but you might want to channel your energy into clearing up what has to be done. Don’t waste time on anger and frustration today. As well, there can be an unintentional tendency to be indiscreet. You may dramatize a situation that you will later regret when you’re more clear-headed. It can also be hard to see professional or reputation matters clearly. Use your imagination constructively by tossing out any negative scenarios that come to mind in favor of focusing on positive possible outcomes.

Cancer

Tasks that require mental concentration, spontaneity, or direct action may not fare well today, dear Cancer. It may be better to focus on what you do well and what you know just for now, as there is tricky energy with us until late afternoon. Try not to invest yourself emotionally in what you hear or see that’s out of the ordinary today, as it may only be temporary or an illusion of sorts, and avoid sharing a secret. If you can, take a break or schedule activities that are not very demanding or competitive. This can be a good time for imaginative pursuits, particularly in the latter part of the day. Tomorrow, energetic Mars enters your sign, and you’ll begin to feel far more directed and decisive shortly after.

Leo

It may be better to keep your own counsel today, dear Leo, as there can be confusing and stumping energy with us now. Some plans or projects may need reworking or review, but even so, there can be a lack of clear direction now so that you might leave making solid changes and commitments for a better, more confident time. Boundaries may blur in a friendship, and you and/or someone important to you can feel a little confused. You may be feeling ready to take on the world one minute, and cautious the next. Try not to let this lack of direction discourage you. Instead, try to welcome a pause or break from pushing ahead.

Virgo

You could have some difficulty following closely to a schedule or routine, dear Virgo, and dealing with routine matters. There can be some misjudgment now, as wishful or fearful thinking can interfere with perceptions. You could be feeling a little set back when it comes to work or a project, as you become aware of a delay or the need to put more energy into it than you had estimated. If possible, reflect and make edits rather than pushing ahead now.

Libra

Where you stand with others may be a point of confusion today, dear Libra. Try not to overthink things now, and aim to be as fair and kind to yourself as you typically are with others. You may be wrestling with whether to pursue your desires or to remain cautious. Take things slowly but surely, and if you can, entertain your need to feed your imagination. Avoid making solid commitments and decisions, and aim to take nothing at face value just for the time being, and this is especially the case when it comes to health and work matters.

Scorpio

Others may seem a little pushy or undisciplined now, dear Scorpio, and you’d prefer to keep things simple and responsible. Complicating matters is a confusing influence that interferes with clear perceptions today. You could lack a game plan, or might discover that you underestimated the amount of time or resources you needed to complete a project. In love relationships, signals can be so mixed that it’s hard to clearly read a person or a situation, even with your considerable perceptive powers. Imagination can take you to a place of self-deception, or it can be channeled more constructively, such as into a creative pursuit.

Sagittarius 

Focusing on the past mistakes or failures is a tendency today, dear Sagittarius, or guilt can crop up when you least expect it. Aim to change your perspective and treat these things as stepping stones in your growth process. Examine unusual thoughts that emerge now, but you may want to save discussion of these things for a time when you and others are thinking more clearly. When it comes to conversations with a significant other, you might end up missing the mark or misunderstanding one another just for now. Rhythms and patterns in relationships may be off, and signals are mixed. Try not to take this as a sign of something bigger than it is.

Capricorn

It’s best to take a break from pushing plans forward today, dear Capricorn. Your goals or visions may be clouded over temporarily. As a result, non-competitive and undemanding activities are better for you today. You may be feeling just a little out of step, as if you can’t quite express yourself with confidence or smoothness. It’s a better day for making adjustments and refinements rather than concrete decisions. Dream up the possibilities now, but you may want to wait to put things into action, particularly related to contracts, health, and work matters.

Aquarius

There can be some emotional see-sawing today, dear Aquarius, and with this much inner uncertainty, it’s best not to do battle with the outside world quite yet. Take your time coming to conclusions, as today’s energies tend to confuse more than empower. However, the adjustments you make now can lead to a stronger position. Leave important matters for a clearer day and avoid investing too much emotional energy into what you’re seeing now. Anxiety or guilt may interfere with productivity. Try not to let this energy seep into your personal interactions, as arguments now can reach stalemates. Sticking with what you do well can be helpful now. As the day advances, goals become clearer. You can also feel supported by a partner or friend.

Pisces

Relax, enjoy good company, or work on making adjustments and edits today, dear Pisces, if possible. The day is less than ideal for confident decision making or for pushing a plan forward. Try not to worry about a missed opportunity from the past, as this can only serve to frustrate. Resolve to be more prepared in the future. There is a defensive and self-protective vibe around you, whether this is coming from others or from within you (or both!). This can interfere with healthy interactions, and people can be self-conscious and not very spontaneous. Guidance and clarity may not seem readily available right now, but will return soon enough. Dream and imagine today, and save important conclusions for a better day.
