It’s hard to measure if you’ve achieved a goal unless it’s something specific—writing a book, say, or getting a degree. So it’s essential you set your own goals, not measured by others but those that mean the most to you. You may not discuss them with others, but what’s most important is that when you achieve them, your spirits will get a boost like nothing else.
A smile from the heart can turn a pleasant moment into a profound, and lasting, bond
You tend to swing from gathering people and activities, even sometimes objects, to shedding them. Once you’ve got too much going in your life, you realize it’s important to let go. Still, saying the farewells can be very difficult indeed. You may find excuses to put it off.
But this is one of your greatest lessons: letting go of certain elements of your life, even habits. That may mean letting relationships go, but it also may have to do with certain goals that once meant a great deal.
The other element of this is to recognize that being an intuitive water sign, you have what might be termed a rich inner realm: that is, those feelings and perhaps even the mystical side of your nature that senses what’s going on in the world around you, in the lives of others, and, importantly, in your own life.
Sometimes you keep feelings of that nature to yourself because you know others won’t understand that. But if you have one or two friends or family members who are themselves intuitive and with whom you can talk about those feelings, then it’s important to do so.
That’s the secret for you. As a Cancerian—and somebody who is on one hand bursting with initiative and on the other goes deep within—it’s not what you do or say, but finding the balance that’s important.
Habits are comfortable—at home, with family members or with friends, all make it easy, because you don’t have to make decisions. You can do the same thing on the same day or go to the same place. However, that makes things predictable. The secret for you, and one that’s important to remind yourself of, is that change is like taking a deep breath and bringing new life into your life and those of others as well.
Often those who get involved in a well-being routine, whether it’s what you eat or getting out and about, follow it in a way that makes it duller by the day. The trick is to turn that into a joy—and an experiment. That may mean you lose individuals who are committed to that strict regimen. If so, that’s fine because you’ll have more fun without them.

It’s rare that, when making plans, you lavish attention on details. You long ago learned that because things change, you’re better off dealing with such matters at the last minute. Not everyone agrees. Tempting as it is to reassure them, that’s unwise. The best strategy is to say nothing.
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.
