You have an instinctive sense of when it’s time to set a new goal, and equally, when it’s time to leave something behind you. But what’s most important is to recognize those activities that touch your heart. This is because, being a water sign and ruled by the Moon, you understand that more deeply than anybody else.
Healing occurs when hope meets need in a setting that allows for the miraculous
As a Cancerian, you have an instinctive understanding of the difference between learning in the normal way, that is, learning when you go to school, and learning a skill. Whether it’s a professional skill or a sport, you need to get out and do it. Understanding is another matter, however, and that comes from reflection, from sitting, from thinking about things, from talking to those who you admire, and understanding will also shape what you do and what you learn.
Many people don’t realize this, and those you’re talking to—about what you’re doing or the possibility of rethinking things, the possibility of pursuing something new—may think that everything they understand will come from taking action instead of this particular variety of reflection that is so important for you as a Cancer.
The fact is, if they don’t understand how important it is, you probably won’t be able to teach them, in which case, you’ll remain friends with them, or perhaps you’ll remain a member of their family, but when it comes to reflecting on what you’re doing, the rewards you’re getting at, what you want to seek more of, these may not be the people to talk to. Gradually, you’ll begin to discover those who share this understanding with you, and those individuals will become your true family.
Discussing what makes you close to someone else can itself be a very tricky thing. The most important thing is to analyze whether you feel comfortable with them and whether you want to see them again. Make that your assessment of who is close.
There are those who are absolutely dedicated to a particular well-being regimen, whether it’s eating in a particular way or something they do. However, they’re not you, and being a water sign, you’re much better off doing what feels good, rather than what someone else says is right.

While you have an easygoing attitude about the remarkable events taking place, others aren’t nearly as comfortable with them. Once you understand that, everything will make sense. You will not only know why certain individuals are determined to do things their way, you’ll back off and allow them to do so.
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.
