Beware of borrowing the goals of others. They will be delighted to share them with you, but that doesn’t mean it’s wise. This is the most important thing for you to discover. You pursuing their goals will make them happy, not you.
The formula for ending suffering? Dwell on love until there’s no room for anything else
You like planning ahead, because it makes life easier, but at the same time, you hope for the unexpected. This is so you’re able to think quickly and come up with new ideas, which actually is as much fun as making plans.
This is because you have a strong inquisitive side to your nature, and that inquisitive side responds well when you have to take care of sudden twists and turns or perhaps meet people who will help you resolve the surprising developments that have arisen.
Not everyone understands this, which means that there can be those around you who will try to convince you simply either to go with the flow or make more solid plans.
But this is very much your own journey—and if you try to take the advice of those who want to make plans and have you stick to them, then you’ll simply be following their theme.
This shows the inquisitive side of your nature as well, the part that thrives on discovery, the part that enjoys those twists and turns and, in fact, recognizes that the unexpected allows you to exercise a muscle that is unique to you, one that is about embracing the unfamiliar and about discovery and about the joy of learning something new, ideally every day. Embrace that, and you will be making each day a joy.
The trick is to do something that seems odd and that is to have two sets of routines. One is for others and will enable you to go along with what they want, but your own is for those discoveries that make life itself exciting, and those are the adventures.
For you, as a Cancerian, mood is as important as the time of day or what you are doing. Being ruled by the Moon, you have an understanding of the importance of this, but others don’t, so don’t try to explain. You will never be able to.

Currently, it may seem life is like a chess game, in that you can only move so far, and only under certain circumstances. Frustrating as that is, it’s forcing you and others to pause and reflect on your priorities with every step. This prevents you being pressed into making hasty decisions.
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.
