Astro Weather Report

The Sun Will Be in Cancer June 21 – July 22

When balanced, Cancer is the divine mother and the mystical child. The Cancer mother within provides enough protection, safety, and love for the Cancer child within to explore their dreams and live in comfort.

When unbalanced, Cancer can be too needy, smothering, and manipulative. Because the childish side of Cancer is so unworldly, it can also become vulnerable to abusive relationships and situations.

When the sun is in Cancer, expect to feel domestic, maternal, child-like, and sensitive. Depending on where Cancer is in your chart, you may either feel nurturing and nurtured or needy, insecure, and abandoned.

The moon rules Cancer. The placement of the moon in the birth chart tells us about our emotions, the way we were a child, and the way we relate to our mothers. For example, someone with moon in Taurus would have an emotional need to surround themselves with material things and would have a sense of duty with their family whereas someone with moon in Scorpio would have an emotional need to purge anything that is “unnecessary” without attachment and might be resentful of the demands of their family.
