Sun enters Cancer ~ June 21

Affirmation: My needs are always met.
Key qualities: Nurturing, responsive, maternal, embracing
Ruling planet: The moon

The solar now returns into the home-loving realm of Cancer where empathy and safety are guiding stars. This cardinal sign belongs in the element water, meaning they are sensitive and emotional beings, navigating through life using their native sixth sense skill.


Like the moon ruling them, they are often cyclical and return again and again to the same emotional issues to heal, resolve, forgive and accept. This ongoing process can at times come with a moody behavior and if challenged they are quick to retreat into their shells. Safety, security and roots are very important to our Cancerian friends and they are mostly kind and sympathetic souls. Still, they do tend to be highly private and protective, traits which can create tensions with others in the Zodiac family.

Their home-life will strongly influence their emotional, physical and mental health, hence they need to maintain their sacred space. They generally make wonderful parents, able to nurture and inspire their offspring to create fulfilling lives while protecting them as they develop.

The spiritual purpose of Cancer is to fill the world with love, care, stability and nourishment for all. They also remind us of the power of dreams but perhaps above all, the sign of Cancer beings the healing power of a motherly touch. Enjoy the sunshine Cancer!
