The word “challenge” tends to imply a single situation on a single day. However, if you think of those challenges as opportunities, a chance to do something new, to learn something, to challenge yourself in a new way, then instead of worrying about them, you will plunge into them with joy.
If a dream seems unachievable, I’ll remember others that seemed just as impossible
For you, there is a real appeal to having order in your life, knowing what you’re going to be doing on any day, possibly next week, or possibly even a year from now. Being ruled by the Moon, the heavenly body that itself changes constantly, your instincts are telling you that that kind of somewhat rigid way of organizing things actually could be frustrating, and that’s true. In fact, you will have found that, often, if you try to organize things too much, you just have to reorganize them at the last minute.
Your lesson is, indeed, to understand that cycles exist: in nature, in the world around you, and in your own life, and especially in relationships with others—personal relationships but also out in the world. Once you are able to embrace that, then instead of worrying about things going the way you want, you’ll find that you encounter something exciting.
And because both your thinking and your planning are more flexible, you’re able to explore that. This then allows you to do more things in a day, in a week, and in a month than you would have imagined possible, and it’s that flexibility that is the greatest gift you can give yourself, as a Cancerian and somebody ruled by the Moon, the body in the heavens that teaches us all about those cycles.
Sometimes you feel like you need to take a role in dealing with others. This can be tricky, but at times, it’s useful, because if an individual, family, a friend, or even a colleague is being difficult, you can lead them to what they need to learn. But when it comes to those closest, the most important thing is to speak from the heart.
The idea of seeking a stable way of doing things is wonderful. However, for you, what is most important is to be enthusiastic about what you’re pursuing. That means changing things around from time to time. This may mean undertaking something new or simply altering the order in which you approach such matters.

Usually, there’s no wrong way to express concern about a matter somebody is struggling with. However, currently, one particular individual is presenting an upbeat façade to the world, and would be upset if they thought you saw through it. What they need, however, is somebody to do a lot of listening.
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.
