While what you do in the world is important, what goes on within is just as important, and there are times when you wrestle with your right to go after things you dream about or what you want to achieve. The most important part of the process is to pause and consider what, personally, is most important to you.
I’ll remember that the Moon shines on even dark nights—and so can I
You benefit from two signs. You benefit from the influence of the sign next to yours, Gemini, and your own sign, Cancer.
This is an unusual blend, because the Gemini part of you is a rather clear-minded air sign, while the Cancer side is not only an intuitive water sign, but benefits from the influence of the rulership of the Moon, the heavenly body that has to do with cycles.
And for that reason, your intuition is very strong. You sense when it’s time for things to grow, both in nature, but also in individuals. You sense when stillness is important. This balance in yourself means that you’re able to be a good friend, both to family and loved ones, but also that if you go to a job, to those at work as well.
You manage to give advice in a way that doesn’t seem like advice, but it almost seems more like you are listening to others.
For you personally, however, finding that kind of nurturing is important. That has to do sometimes with family, but often it will be with that special friend who knows what you’re thinking and who is able to encourage you to sit quietly and talk with them.
Most of all, it’s about recognizing the powerful cycles that shape the world around you, and even more importantly, shape your own life.
The formula here is about giving and receiving. That seems simple, but as you’ve discovered when dealing with those around you, all too often you tend to end up doing a lot more giving and much less receiving. The trick is knowing when to stop, and even more, when to ask.
Being a Cancerian, your mood is as important as how you take care of your body, and when you recognize that it is time to stop and to rest, it is as significant as what you eat or what you do or the way you exercise. Pausing in this way is an important gift for yourself.
While what you do in the world is important, what goes on within is just as important, and there are times when you wrestle with your right to go after things you dream about or what you want to achieve. The most important part of the process is to pause and consider what, personally, is most important to you.
Obviously, you’re not thrilled about admitting you made an unwise decision, especially because this involves a matter where you battled to have things your way. However, the circumstances have changed. Acknowledge that you dislike admitting you got it wrong, apologize, and move on.
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.
