Making lists about what you want to do is important. However, what’s more important is to follow your instincts. As a Cancerian and a water sign, these are powerful—more powerful than those of others—which is the reason that those around you don’t necessarily encourage you to listen to what your instincts tell you.
Sometimes it is only when a heart is broken that true love can find its way in
Do you ever wonder why some people seem to make life so difficult, they turn ordinary situations into something unpleasant, or pick up on unnecessary challenges? Well, it’s not about you. It’s about them. The fact is certain individuals seem to be programmed that way.
The skill for you is to notice that and, unless it happens to be a child you’re raising or a very close friend, to acknowledge that that’s just what makes them tick, that’s how they look at the world. Then back off and know that you’re different, and that by no means should you let them undermine your thinking or your life. This has to do with the individuals around you, but it also has to do with life in general and any setbacks you’re facing.
As a Cancerian and a water sign, you can be sensitive and can often turn seemingly unimportant situations into something that has to do with you personally. That may indeed have to do with your mood.
That’s one of your greatest lessons—to recognize those moments when the choice lies entirely with you, whether you’ll enjoy what life brings you or turn it into a drama. You could even turn those dramas into something exciting and enjoyable. After all, many people go to the theater to do exactly that. You’re able to do it in your own life. And better yet, you’re able to direct how the play goes.
Beware of the stories that others tell you about what they’re trying to do, especially what they’re trying to do for you. While they may have good intentions, putting you first is probably the best way to get what you want to accomplish and done in your own timing.
It’s said that dieting and working out with somebody else is great. However, in certain situations, the individual you have in mind may want you to do things their way, in their routine, eat what they need to eat, as opposed to you looking after your own needs. Think about this and think about it carefully.

Admitting you’re wrong is no problem. However, certain individuals insist their facts are right. The real problem is that they’re looking for a battle and have chosen their topic, which involves you. Say nothing. The individuals in question will soon turn their attention elsewhere.
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.
