Setting goals is natural. You don’t really think of them that way, especially if it’s something you want to do anyway, and that is the point of this. There may be those around you who make the idea of setting goals so complicated that even thinking about it seems boring. Yet with your energy, you’re always setting goals; it’s just that you move swiftly from thinking about it to action and don’t realize that you set those goals—and often don’t realize what you have achieved, either.
Joy. A short word, yet seemingly beyond reach. Until you embrace it with your heart
As someone who is very much a Cancerian but also part Leo, you’re juggling two very strong elements of your nature. The Cancerian part is nurturing and reflective and sensitive, yet also highly creative and often highly enterprising. But the Leo enthusiasm and zest for life are important.
However, you can sometimes get so involved in what’s fun that you forget about those goals. The trick is to honor both sides. That may seem complicated, and sometimes it will be, but on the other hand you have double the opportunity to enjoy what life offers and double the opportunity to share those joys with others. Even more than that, it gives you the opportunity to be creative in a way that very few benefit from.
By being a sensitive and nurturing Cancerian, you bring that awareness to any relationship in any situation—from family to career.
Yet the Leo side of you enjoys doing something new, and possibly in a slightly theatrical way. Combine those two and your life will be full—full of changes and full of excitement.
But most of all, it will be full of the kind of satisfaction that comes with being both emotionally kind and generous—and creative as well.
Rather than getting things organized the way some people like to do, it is important that you be spontaneous, that you do something suddenly, that you just head out perhaps for a run or do something that lifts your spirits, and at times you get others to join you, too. While there may be those around you who think a routine is best, for you, spontaneity is the name of the game.
Tempting as it is to get involved in some kind of routine, here, again, the trick is to do what you enjoy, although that itself may change over time. But the more it changes, the more you’ll discover and the more you’ll enjoy.
Setting goals is natural. You don’t really think of them that way, especially if it’s something you want to do anyway, and that is the point of this. There may be those around you who make the idea of setting goals so complicated that even thinking about it seems boring. Yet with your energy, you’re always setting goals; it’s just that you move swiftly from thinking about it to action and don’t realize that you set those goals—and often don’t realize what you have achieved, either.
Unsettling as recent events seemed, you recognize that instead of being reason for concern, they were breakthroughs. True, these weren’t in the form you’d anticipated and could take things in an unexpected direction. Be patient. The more you explore, and learn, the more optimistic you’ll be.
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.
