There’s a single phrase for you when it comes to goals and challenges, and that’s “Don’t let others take over.” They may mean well, but in doing so, they’re trying to impose their interests and values on you. If others try to do that, say thank you, then give serious thought to who and what are most important to you.
The problem isn’t what those who are unkind say, it’s that you pay attention to their words
It’s said that planning ahead is good, and that’s true. However, you have to consider what you’re getting involved in—whether it’s new territory in terms of activities, in terms of ideas, in terms of the culture you might be in, or the people you’ll be around. If that’s the case, it’s almost as if you were learning a new language.
You may indeed actually have to, but it could also mean that you’ll need to take time to figure out what’s going on. You may feel that you’re supposed to be bold and just plunge in, but this particular variety of moving into new territory is about a kind of discovery, and once you recognize that, then you’ll actually enjoy taking care of yourself.
You’ll treat yourself as if you were a very special kind of tourist, moving into a new kind of experience, into a new setting, a new country, a new way of thinking, and once you do that, you’ll also begin to enjoy what you’re doing.
The trick is to abandon that feeling that you’re supposed to figure it out on your own, and instead treat yourself as the very special being that you are, the individual who deserves to be tutored when you’re entering new territory, and in being tutored, will become very skilled at living in that setting and living very well indeed.
The message for you is to be aware of certain individuals who are what might be termed chronic complainers. Whatever it is that’s going on, they’ll find something wrong, and they’ll expect those around them, possibly you, to remedy that. The fact is, they’re just spoiled, and you and your needs come first.
There seems to be somebody around you that has very strict do’s and don’ts for taking care of yourself. That might work for them, but being ruled by the Moon, the heavenly body that has cycles, that kind of thing isn’t your style. In fact, the more you align with your own rhythms, the better.
There’s a single phrase for you when it comes to goals and challenges, and that’s “Don’t let others take over.” They may mean well, but in doing so, they’re trying to impose their interests and values on you. If others try to do that, say thank you, then give serious thought to who and what are most important to you.
The time has come to talk things over. True, with so much going on, the last thing you’re in the mood for is in-depth discussion of minor issues. However, those differences aren’t nearly as insignificant as they seem, something which will become clear as others reveal why they’re concerned.
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.
