(June 21- July 22)
Happy birthday, Cancer! It’s your turn to shine this month.
You are a cardinal, water sign—an initiator, intuitive, and nurturing.
Home and family are important to you. Cancer people are emotional and sensitive beings who become deeply attached to people. Your intuitive and sentimental nature allows you to empathize with others and their pain. Cancers can be difficult to get to know since they often like to keep parts of themselves hidden, especially aspects of their personal lives.
Cancers are subject to the changing emotional patterns created by moon cycles. The world may seem like a harsh place until significant learning and coping strategies have been learned to deal with the realities of life. Cancers are very sensitive as children and may need extra care and protection.
You tend to avoid conflict when you can. However, known for your loyalty—especially going to great lengths to fight for those you love, your real mission is to learn to stand up for yourself. You find personal happiness surrounded by a loving family in a comfortable home. Your sign teaches that the unseen world of emotions matters.
Symbol:
Your symbol is the Crab. The crab appears in a Greek legend as Karkinos, who is rewarded by Hera and placed in the heavens to shine forever. A crab has a hard shell that protects it. The association with the symbol of the crab allows for a protective shield for Cancer’s vulnerable emotional self.
Ruler:
Your ruler is the moon.
The moon is associated with emotion. Cancers are animated with powerful and constantly changing emotions.
Have you ever wondered what astrology has to say about your past lives?
