Good listener
Your birthday reveals you to be idealistic yet pragmatic, an astute and highly intuitive individual with a sharp mind and a natural sense of humor. Having keen reasoning powers and being able to quickly grasp ideas and articulate them show an innate talent for language and communication. As a Cancerian, you are both affectionate and impressionable, with a need for the security of strong family ties and home comforts. Your proud, confident, and assertive front often hides a sensitive soul, and although you possess a caring nature, with strong maternal or paternal instincts, the added influence of the Moon may cause fluctuating moods. Keeping yourself constantly occupied may prove to be an antidote to your low boredom threshold. However, your strong convictions and natural ability to quickly assess people and situations, when coupled with an enterprising spirit, can ensure your success.
Being socially oriented, you often mix with people from many different walks of life and thrive on the personal touch. Nevertheless, guard against being too provocative or manipulative, as it can lose you the many benefits that come from collaborative efforts. Learning to balance cooperation with the desire to be independent and self-sufficient can bring great personal satisfaction and increase your feel-good factor.
A strong influence of the Moon in the first decanate of Cancer carries a double impact throughout your childhood and youth. This influence suggests that although in early life you were shy and sensitive, there was still a longing to be at the center of things. After the age of twenty-four, when your progressed Sun moves into Leo, you are likely to receive a much- needed boost of creativity, strength, and confidence. As your progressed Sun moves into Virgo, when you are age fifty-four, you become less dominant, more thoughtful, and analytical. This brings a growing desire for an orderly life.

While June 28 individuals may at one moment present an extroverted and optimistic face, encouraging and entertaining others, at the next they may eschew company and withdraw into a bleakly pessimistic, introverted world of their own making. Such extreme tendencies are a result of their pro- foundly intuitive, and hence emotional, responses to the circumstances within which they find themselves, coupled with their innate intellectual capacity to rationalize the reasons behind their strong identifica- tion with those who excite their interest and empathy. The actions and convictions of June 28 people are conditioned by the situations and individuals that— for whatever reason—exert a strong influence upon their imaginations and feelings. The combination of such people-oriented sensitivity with their urge to be instruments of progress naturally equips them with a propensity toward making careers in the caring pro- fessions or other humanitarian fields, although they may sometimes choose to utilize their talents in other fields where personal interaction is a key element.
Their often irresistible tendency to follow their hearts rather than their heads can lead June 28 people to misjudge the motivations or desires of other indi- viduals. This can be especially the case when it comes to choosing a life partner. Yet once settled within a committed one-to-one relationship—as with long-standing friends and family members—they are typically steadfastly supportive and affectionate, for they sense the importance of profound emotional bonds in grounding their wilder inclinations within a stable framework.
