sun in cancer

21st June @ 1pm Melbourne, 4am London, 20th @ 8pm San Francisco

With the Sun moving into Cancer on 21st June, we celebrate the Cancerians in our lives. These are enterprising individuals who value home, family and being in the company of those who they can provide support and care to, knowing that these qualities will be reciprocated.

They are emotionally driven to find meaning in all that they choose to create or pursue. If the mood or environment is positive and encouraging, their confidence will surge and may even propel them into public and prominent positions - something they don’t actively seek but can handle if placed upon them. But, if they sense any criticism or judgement in their air, they may go on the defense or retreat back into the sanctity of their shells where they feel safe and secure only to re-emerge when ready to face the world once more.

Those with their Sun in Cancer can battle with the dilemma of home versus career and how to focus on one without losing sight of the other. They can project grit and toughness which serves to protect their hidden softer side.

If you have your Sun in Cancer, your birthday will herald in a new solar year for you. Each year, around the time of your birthday, the Sun will return to the exact degree it was positioned at the time of your birth. This can occur on the actual day of your birthday or a day either side. So instead of wishing someone a Happy Birthday, why not wish them a Happy Solar Return. A Solar Return chart can be created to identify a theme for your year ahead, beginning a new cycle of solar vitality that can energize and bring with it new purpose and meaning.

For the rest of us, take note of where Cancer is placed in your chart and which Planets are in this cardinal water sign. This is the area of your life that may experience some emotional ups and downs or require a little more nurturing right now. With Jupiter conjunct the Sun these feeling may have a tendency to become a little overexaggerated so try not to blow things out of proportion. The Sun/Jupiter combination is usually positive, offering a brighter outlook and a desire to break new ground. A perfect lead into the New Moon in Cancer in a couple of days where you can set new intentions for the month ahead.
