Sometimes, challenges are just that, but for you, challenges are about defining the hill you want to climb and then climbing it. Then having gotten to the top, recognize that there are plenty of other hills you could climb and embrace the joy of knowing you can climb each of them.
Trusting my instincts is easy, until I try to get things right. Then they often go wrong
Numerologically, the first of every month signifies the number one, new beginnings. In fact, this is all about you discovering your own rhythm. However, it’s important to recognize that this isn’t about a single rhythm.
It’s about your own ups and downs, not in the sense of negativity, but in the sense that there are times when you’re bursting with energy, as if there is a spring bubbling inside you, and there are times when you need to be still. These are all important.
In fact, those still moments give you time to rest and reflect. These are mirrored by the seasons, and also, when you’re reflecting, new ideas will grow, ideas that might possibly not have grown had you not taken that time for stillness.
The trick, therefore, is to ignore those who are encouraging you to get out and about when that isn’t what you want to do. This is important for everybody, but for you, as a Cancerian and somebody who is ruled by the Moon, the planet which has its own cycles, the message is very clear. Pay attention to when you want to be still and do that, and then, when you’re stirred by passion to do something, to achieve something, to go someplace, or in fact, to fall in love with something or somebody, do it, and do it just at the moment you feel is best.
It seems strange to recognize that those around you don’t have the sense of cycles you do, but the fact is, they don’t. When they want to go along with you, recognize that they may not be following the same rhythm you are, and if so, simply allow them. Step back and be who you are. Let them be who they are.
There’s a single message for you, and that message says move. Walk, dance, hop, jump rope—whatever it is, feel your body. Feel the muscles in your body, indeed, moving, and not only will you feel that. You’ll feel the sheer joy of being alive.

Somebody seems determined to reveal flaws in your thinking. While you acknowledge you can get it wrong, you’re confident that in this case, everything is accurate. Still, explore what is being said. At the least, you’ll learn something. But the odds are good you’ll discover that others are correct.
Cancer: JUNE 20 – JULY 21
Ruler: The Moon
Symbol: The Crab
Element: Water
Flower: Lily
The only sign ruled by the Moon, Cancer accents cycles —both nature’s rhythms, especially the oceans and tides, and those in our lives. The symbol, the crab, is linked to water, as are your sign’s flowers: the lily and the lotus. Your herbs are aromatic, tarragon and verbena, and your tree is the maple. Your jewel, the pearl, not only comes from the sea, it mirrors the Moon’s form.
