Sun in Cancer

CANCER. Ruler Moon. Consistent Cancer. The Cancer individual. "There is no bottom. They just don't let you go deeper." S.E. Lec If the elements of fire, earth, and air can sometimes be seen in a person's character in their pure form, the situation is not so simple with regard to the element of water. Regarding Cancer, one can say this: the more this sign is represented in a person's character, the more they strive to hide from your gaze behind their hard chitinous shell. The role of this shell can be played by a house, an apartment, an office (the domestic Cancer), certain rigid boundaries of communication that they almost never cross, a manner of hypnotizing with their gaze in situations unpleasant for them, and in all cases, impenetrable deep eyes in which no bottom is felt. These eyes could be called mysterious if they held a mystery greater than the mystery of any human soul, which, as they say, contains the entire world. There is no other (of course): however, Cancer embodies the principle of essential perception and transformation, and its eyes show that some (often very small) piece of its soul perceives its surroundings and transforms in accordance with what is perceived, because to perceive means to change oneself. In Cancer (the zone of creation), the water element is in its first manifestation, and its main goal is the essential perception of the world – the whole of it – and the subsequent essential change of self. However, in a real being, there must be a certain stability, so the subconscious of a person with a strong Cancer influence develops complex defense mechanisms that protect its owner from a significant part of the external environment, narrowing their perception and thereby ensuring psychic stability. Changes in the psyche, the restructuring of the subconscious program, are subjectively experienced deeply emotionally (in fact, deep emotions are precisely the signs of psychic restructuring), so when Cancer, despite the defense mechanisms, perceives something, it perceives it emotionally, and what it has perceived, after some time, becomes its property, of course, in a transformed and adapted form to its psyche. In the zone of creation, the elements are not yet self-aware, so Cancer, as a rule, does not formulate its task for itself as described above, and even less does it ever aim to change the surrounding world (this is what distinguishes it from Scorpio). Nevertheless, in real life, having essentially perceived something, by the law of empathy, it will not only change itself but also leave its imprint on the perceived object. In the case of a strong Cancer, this indirect influence can be very significant. Therefore, Cancers (like all water signs) are natural psychologists. They possess the ability to simply listen attentively to a person, and this is already a lot, even if Cancer says nothing in conclusion: the problem may disappear or resolve itself simply as a result of telling about it to an understanding, non-judgmental, silently inspiring Cancer. However, Cancer is not necessarily always silent; being a cardinal sign, it can even be overly fussy or talkative, but always remaining within the confines of its shell. The fact is that one of its essential problems is the problem of emotional self-expression. It is connected with the fact that the subconscious program, which protects against essential perception (Cancer's "shell"), simultaneously prevents it from essential and emotional self-expression: the sluice does not let water flow in both directions. At the same time, the expression of its essence and emotions is needed not only by it but by everyone else: not many emotions are allotted to the world, and a significant part of them is concentrated precisely in Cancers. The depth of Cancer's perception imposes corresponding karmic obligations on it, which it rarely fulfills. It has the eternal temptation to hide in its shell when necessary and when not, or rather, when the situation requires perceiving something, but it strongly dislikes doing so. Cancer knows too well how delicious its meat is and is not inclined to offer it to every passerby. On the other hand, blocking perception in responsible situations is one of the main karmic transgressions, but if Aries is inattentive, Gemini is superficial and may indeed fail to see something, and this will be forgiven them, it will never be forgiven Cancer: there are depths into which no one but Cancer can look. It should be emphasized that Cancer, representing the water element in the zone of creation, does not truly realize its transformative power, nor does it seek to change the world; its karmic task is significantly more complex – to change itself. Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Cancers respect their ruler; therefore, on the night of the Full Moon, they crawl out onto a sandy shoal and greet it. The Moon moves through the Zodiac much faster than other planets; therefore, Cancers are very changeable, but they fall into melancholy especially easily: the Moon governs the general background of the subconscious, and a slight sadness always reigns there, for human needs are never fully satisfied. On the other hand, having a strong subconscious, Cancer easily tunes into the subconscious of others, which makes it an incomparable empath, yet quite cunning, for if anything is amiss, it instantly retreats into its shell and pretends that no intimate contact occurred a second ago, that it has nothing to do with it, and in fact, just entered the room and hasn't had time to get acquainted with you yet. The cunning of Cancer's subconscious for itself also lies in the fact that by setting up powerful blocks on the surface and creating for Cancer (and superficial observers) the illusion of invulnerability and imperviousness to external influences, it often leaves it completely defenseless against subtle and indirect influences, which are very difficult for Cancer to block. At the same time, the Moon gives Cancer incomparable empathic pleasure from satisfying the needs of its loved ones: Cancer loves to feed them, care for them, fulfill their desires and even whims. It can act as an excellent tempter and even a versatile dark teacher. Saturn's detriment in Cancer also greatly influences its subconscious. This is the origin of its internal rigidity (i.e., the inflexibility of subconscious programs), often expressed in extreme and, to others, incomprehensible stubbornness over trivial matters (in reality, you have simply indirectly touched a very rigid subconscious program). Saturn also gives Cancer a certain internal coldness and hardness, which it needs simply as protection for an overly impressionable psyche. Regarding Saturn, Cancer's task is very difficult: it needs to bring this rigidity into consciousness, understand its function, and transform stubbornness into perseverance. Only then can Saturn's wisdom manifest; otherwise, Cancer's depth will remain emotionally unconscious and unable to realize itself in constructive work. On the other hand, even an unintegrated Saturn provides Cancer with a certain stability, outwardly expressed as stubbornness. The author does not intend to describe the difference between Cancer's lunar melancholy and Saturnian melancholy, leaving this to psychological astrology. Thanks to Saturn's detriment, Cancer is subconsciously attached to its roots, to the past – both personal and historical; accordingly, it prefers to build upon or restructure subconscious programs rather than destroy and create new ones. Jupiter's exaltation in Cancer presents a developed Cancer in a completely different light. Having understood itself, having essentially comprehended the world, Cancer realizes its higher mission and begins to create religious and philosophical teachings of an existential nature, leading a group of students, instructing them with all the intuitive knowledge of the mysteries of the subconscious that it has accumulated throughout its spiritual advancement. In its unintegrated form, it gives Cancer a strong internal arrogance towards other signs, which are not as deep and intuitive as itself. Neptune culminating in Cancer also gives a type of spiritual teacher, more mystical than a Jupiterian one. The higher octave of Cancer is given a mystical sense of the Universe in the deepest part of the human soul (the identity of Atman and Brahman) and cosmic love for humanity, perceived as part of oneself. Such a spiritual teacher is more inwardly focused than a Jupiterian one. For the average Cancer, Neptune culminating gives a tendency towards deceit and self-deception, distortion of perception and expression, and difficulties in communicating with one's own subconscious. Mars in fall in Cancer does not at all signify weakness in this sign. It is rather a tendency towards indirect actions, an indirect influence on the object. Cancer's deep emotionality and simultaneous inhibition prevent the direct manifestation of Mars's energy. In its developed form, this is a most valuable quality of high spiritual teachers, influencing students with precisely calibrated, subtle touches. In its undeveloped form, it is treachery, excessive emotionality, and internal voluntarism that a person cannot and does not want to overcome. The Cancer Situation. Water situations are somewhat difficult to describe; from the perspective of Aries and Gemini, they seem to not exist at all. A typical sign of the Cancer situation is a sense of mystery, which those present have only just lightly touched upon, while the mystery itself still lies entirely in an unknown depth. The Cancer situation is often accompanied by a sudden collective silence, sometimes followed by a group epiphany. These are moments when the collective suddenly delves into itself, and its members feel an immediate connection with each other and with something else invisible and mysterious that leads them to a common goal, and which in this textbook is called the collective's egregore. When the Cancer situation ends, the collective feels more unified, or conversely, disunited. If an outsider finds themselves in a Cancer situation, they feel uncomfortable and inherently understand nothing, even though external words and actions may be quite ordinary; but behind them lies a meaning comprehensible only to the collective, and even then, not fully. In a harmonious Cancer situation, it is warm and cozy, and one might even be well-fed (a family dinner or council), but it is always filled with an inner meaning, a super-task, which is closely connected with a specific influence on the collective or its individual members. A true family dinner holds great moral and educational significance, even (and especially) if children are not scolded for bad table manners. A disharmonious Cancer situation may be outwardly calm, but its individual members experience the influence of such a disharmonious current that their sensations can be compared to the feelings of a person being interrogated (with a psychological nuance) by secret police, in the hands of the mafia (which, incidentally, strongly gravitates towards Cancer, a 'family' so to speak), or even in a dungeon; but again, an external observer will understand nothing or will understand everything completely wrongly. Sun in Cancer promises a karmic program that is very difficult for the average Western person to comprehend, having grown up in a Gemini civilization near university towns and other hotbeds of materialism. Whatever a Solar Cancer engages in, the hand of fate persistently directs their attention inward, and their subconscious just as persistently tries to displace consciousness and seize control of their will. Whatever profession they choose, they must perceive the subject with their entire being, fill themselves with it to the depths of their soul – only then will they gain satisfaction from the work and be able to accomplish anything; the criterion for the quality of their work is their own essential changes; in a constructive variant, they grow spiritually, their consciousness and perception expand; in a non-constructive variant, their shell grows and hardens. The Sun sharply increases Cancer's responsibility for their destiny, accentuates their negative tendencies (which sometimes activate as if against their will), and hinders any external activity by scattering attention and redirecting it to inner life. Only when Cancer resolves the part of their inner problems determined by karma will the Sun allow them to work relatively constructively in the outer world. Individual will is poorly adapted for solving one's own inner mysteries and problems, making this a difficult position for the Sun.

Those with the Sun in Cancer are simultaneously mobile and constant, your problems lie in understanding the need for movement, but being unwilling to part with tried traditions. Hence the typical Cancer movement - one step forward, two steps back. Their essence is directed inward, first they need everything to settle and fall into place inside, and only then do they come out. They need protection. Pushing from the outside does not help, as they possess the art of passive resistance. People with the Sun in Cancer always create some distance between themselves and others due to a sense of inner shyness. They open up only after getting to know someone closely and being confident in them. They are very vulnerable. Internally, they are ready for great sacrifices for those they trust. But they are contradictory: conservative and progressive at the same time, friendly and yet keeping a distance. They better understand historical problems and the affairs of bygone days, everyday life with its constantly changing fashion is contradictory, and therefore their actions often seem illogical, strongly dependent on their mood. They are indeed people of mood, very impressionable and judgmental, with a wonderful intuition, understanding everything without words. By nature, they are peaceful people, unless their feelings are hurt. They have an exceptional memory, although they may confuse dates and names, but important memories of basic moods and actions are not erased from memory. Intuition is highly developed. They love music, are sentimental, and can cry over trifles, but in truly tragic events, they do not outwardly show themselves. In everyday life, they are petty, trifles are very important to them. They sharply judge the shortcomings of others, but if others acknowledge this, Cancers can melt. They love affection, but not excessive tenderness. They have a strong connection with their family. They are very touchy, afraid of ridicule. They rarely put money at stake, do not like to risk, and therefore do not let down those who trust them. They are kind and diplomatic if they are not offended. They can only be led in a good way, they do not like other people's advice. They fear responsibility, but they perform important work accurately, reliably, punctually, and successfully. Their professional path is uneven, with ups and downs in their career. They prefer professions that require intuition and assistance (art, various types of social assistance - nurses, patronage sisters, insurance, child rearing, charity). They can empathize with someone else's fate (artists), possess a strong sense of justice (good arbitrators). They love to care for others, but they do not spoil children, and are even strict with them - outwardly. Cancers are homebodies, although they are drawn to travel, but they always strive to return home as soon as possible, and if this is impossible for some reason, they settle in a foreign land and feel at home. In love, they are receptive to beauty and sex, but the most important thing for them is feelings. If there are no feelings, then a long-term union will not work out. They are passive, preferring to be charmed rather than doing the charming. Family is everything to them, home is their fortress, and they can even become a domestic tyrant. In public, Cancers are quieter than water, lower than grass, but at home, they transform. The house is tidy according to their taste, and the routine of life in the family is also established by them. But this tyranny is often discovered by family members only on their silver wedding day. They are very demanding of their partner: they seek fidelity, equality, mobility, and modesty - under no circumstances can anyone, even close friends, be told about their relationship, as a careless word can put everything at risk. Dangers arise from vulnerability, touchiness, and overestimation of one's own personality. If others do not recognize them, they feel offended and abandoned, their pride suffers. They have a tendency to exaggerate their suffering. They can be cruel if their partner has disappointed them, and they suffer the most from their own cruelty. They have a weak physique, and they are prone to digestive disorders and diseases of the digestive organs. You have a strong emotional attachment to the past, to your family, to your childhood, to those places that are associated with a sense of security, and the absence of the need to worry about tomorrow. For you, it is very important to maintain a connection with your family and cultural past, to strengthen family traditions. You are characterized by devotion, attachment, sentimentality, and responsibility towards everything that is dear to you - whether it is a person, a thing, or familiar places. You are a good educator, you relate to people with sympathy, and you are always ready to help them both materially and spiritually. You like it when people need you, especially those you love. You are attached to your home, where you live; you need to be understood and accepted here. You are more concerned with people and their feelings than with power, career, or social status. Kindness, care, and tenderness make a greater impression on you than any worldly honors. You are primarily a person of emotions. Your views are more determined by feelings and personal subjective experience than by reason, logic, and abstract principles. You find it difficult to judge life situations impartially and objectively, because your judgments usually involve personal sympathies and attachments. You perceive life very personally, sometimes building a wall around yourself to protect yourself from painful contacts, from the possibility of being rejected by someone. At heart, you are shy and vulnerable, and you have a tendency to mood swings, emotional ups and downs. In life, you need time and space to withdraw into yourself, think about life, dream, and recharge. Otherwise, you become irritable and dissatisfied with those around you. You act intuitively, without resorting to reason, and you love to fully surrender to creativity, where you can express your feelings and imagination. You love cooking - and here, too, your creative beginning, your natural ability to educate and care for people's stomachs, is manifested. You also love music - it evokes feelings in you that are difficult or impossible to convey in words. Your strongest qualities are compassion for people, acuteness of feelings and imagination. Your weaknesses are in your inability to leave the past behind and move forward; you are limited by your circle, full of prejudices, and prone to self-pity when life confronts you with difficulties.

We discovered that Andrew (one of the most attractive apostles) was born when the Sun was in the sign of Cancer. People born under Cancer have a very strong natural need for spiritual communication, which helps them overcome fears and worries. Perhaps this is why Andrew was so close to John the Baptist. Andrew never doubted his purpose - humble and selfless service. He did not strive to be the first or the closest, he only occupied his own place and performed the role assigned to him to the best of his abilities. The symbol of Cancer is the crab. The first thing that comes to mind when we think of a crab is its way of moving: sideways to avoid any collision. Those born under the sign of Cancer are similar in many ways - they never move towards a goal in a straight line. Afraid of something, they try to find shelter in the corner, crawl into a crack, hide in their own shell. Just as a crab never parts with its shell or carapace, so too do people born under Cancer highly value home comfort. The concept of home means a lot to them, and they try to create a cozy corner everywhere. The element of Cancer is water. Its patron is the Moon. It is she who gives this sign such qualities as receptivity and responsiveness. People born under Cancer feel everything that happens in nature, especially the phases of the Moon. During the new moon and full moon phases, they are particularly emotional and sensitive. Explain to your child the mechanism of this phenomenon, teach him to be careful on certain days of the lunar cycle, so that such influences do not catch him off guard. Although the element of Cancer is water, do not forget that it is equally well suited to both the sea and the land. A great way to calm and comfort a little Cancer is to bathe or play in the water. The marine element is very beneficial for such children. Teach your child to swim as soon as possible - for him, it will always be the best way to relax and calm down. Many famous sailors were born under this sign. The weak points of Cancer are the stomach, chest, and solar plexus. Children born under this sign have a tendency to develop stomach and intestinal diseases of a neurogenic nature. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor what and when your child eats. Without proper supervision, he may be threatened with ulcers. Never force a child to eat if he has no appetite or is not in the mood. Chest pain symbolizes their need to learn and learn. Those who are patronized by the Moon must always feel secure. For the realization of security, such children must be confident in the love of their loved ones, in the inviolability and constancy of their environment, in the fact that they will be taken care of. The solar plexus is the area of concentration of many nerve endings. This can explain why little Cancers are so sensitive to everything around them - they have very developed intuition and extrasensory abilities. Their heightened sensitivity to the world around them and rich psychic experiences can sometimes frighten a child. Explain to him that this is a great gift that he should not be afraid of! Teach your child-Cancer not to be afraid of everything around him - he is always under the protection of someone. A child should have this constant confidence. As for the psyche, these children are simply sponges, greedily absorbing the feelings, emotions, and energy of the world around them. They have the ability to accumulate the experiences of other people. If someone is sad, the child-Cancer is sad, everyone around is happy - and he is happy. It is up to the parents to make the world of their child as happy, calm, and stable as possible. Help him choose friends who are "positively charged". Cancer children love family heirlooms. They can become too attached to someone or something. They have a clear tendency to collect things, and they enjoy any hobby related to accumulation. Try to prevent the development of a strong instinct of ownership in your child - in the future, it can greatly spoil his life. Teach him the necessary art of organization. Show your child the value of change - explain that sometimes giving up familiar things, unnecessary acquaintances, and outdated beliefs can be very beneficial. It is also important lyon for your child to understand that relying on the security of the surrounding world is not the best position. Feeling safe can only come from within. Try to convince your little Cancer that building fortifications from all sorts of surrounding things is not a panacea. With the wrong approach, such children can become very egotistical, closed, and always ready to resist the world. If little Cancers are confident in their own security and the strength of their relationships with others, they are friendly, attached, and generous. Cancer people highly value the warmth of family relationships, so spend as much time as possible with your child - go for walks, play, communicate. Give him the opportunity to participate in the development of family plans - he will be happy. If you want to establish a connection and understanding with your child-Cancer, try to tell him what feelings you experience when he behaves badly, and ask him what he would do in your place. This method usually works without fail. When communicating with a little Cancer, use as many words that convey feelings as possible. In educating such children, rough and harsh measures are not suitable - they have a highly developed sense of self-respect. Do not be afraid to hug and caress your child often. Try to be aware of all his feelings and experiences. The chapter "Mercury in Cancer" will give you the key words for communicating with your little Cancer. Song for the birth of Cancer You, my child, blessed by the Moon, I will reveal the secret of life's harmony. So that your days and nights are calmer, You don't need to be very attached to things. Thoroughly endowed with diligence and mind, Try to believe in yourself a little more. Not everything is given to us by divine will, But you won't give up, won't surrender, my child. You value the comfort of a safe home, It's a pity that in Life not everything will be close and familiar. Your intuition will help you in Life. (That's the greatest gift from God). You understand the world with your heart and feelings. Not everyone can do this, like you, understand? And don't call you bold, fearless. Later you'll understand that it's all unimportant! What's more important is that you can empathize with people. With your birth! And remember that we love you!

This is the last sign of the first Zone of "Creativity". It is a sign of primary manifestation of Water, a sign under the management of the second luminary, the Moon, which largely forms the psychological and emotional inner structure of this sign. This is a sign of the second quadrant, which includes Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. It denotes the psychological structure of people with a juvenile character. To some extent, this is a youthful psychology and perception of the world. Water carries within itself the functions of a passive and reflective beginning, it becomes the cause of internal transformation, transfiguration, mutation, and transmutation. For people born under the sign of Cancer, there is a characteristic desire for internal perfection, for self-analysis. Cancers have a subtle soul life, they are constantly changing internally, just like the Moon constantly changes in the sky: it is born, grows, reaches its apogee, decreases, dies. Cancers are very easily hurt, this is the most vulnerable sign of the Zodiac. Therefore, as a defense against such increased vulnerability, Cancers need to organize a shell. It is necessary for them to protect themselves from the deep emotionality given to them by nature. And often, as a reaction to such emotionality, Cancers portray themselves as strong personalities, although internally they are very weak. Cancers are a very feminine sign, receptive, "yin", and they take more than they give, i.e., they predominantly have lunar characteristics. Cancers love novelty, changes, travel, they are quite restless people, and they are very attached to their loved ones. Of all the signs of the Zodiac, Cancer is the most domestic, the most family-oriented sign. Family is at the top of the hierarchy of Cancer's values. They are attached to their home, to their past, they love retrospection. If your Sun is in this remarkable sign, then your consciousness is often turned to the history of your family, culture, ethnicity, people. You are likely to possess very high psychic abilities. Mediumistic abilities are also possible. There are many mediums and major occultists among Cancers. You reveal to us many secrets of the Soul, yours and others, secrets of our subconscious. It is known that Cancers love the company of their sign, which is not a common pattern: as a rule, people of the same sign communicate with each other quite tensely and quickly get bored with each other, but this does not apply to Cancers, they can communicate with each other for a long time and productively. You remember your past, childhood, in detail, you love to plunge into childhood memories, you have excellent intuition, which helps you in all cases of life to preserve your individual essential core. You have a very subtle psychic nature, as well as a wide range of talents, a subtle perception of the emotional world. Accordingly, this gives you the talent of artists, writers, poets, psychologists. Examples are artists El Greco, Pissarro, E. Coro, Dega, and among writers - Hemingway. There are many teachers who perfectly sense children and work with them (Ushinsky). The low level of Cancers is the worst traits of any person. Dishonesty and cunning, clinginess. You will always achieve what you want, but you will do it not actively, but passively, waiting for your hour. You can be sure that Cancer will achieve its goal. It is useless to put pressure on you, because you do not tolerate it, you immediately go to the side, into the depths. Therefore, if you are going to communicate with Cancer, you need to act indirectly, in a roundabout way, and not press on them in a Leo-like manner, directly and openly. Cancers can be charmed, as water signs are susceptible to all influences and charms. Cancers, as a water sign, often work with liquids, and it has been noticed that many Cancers work at dairy plants. This is your favorite place of work. Among Cancers, there are bartenders, especially at night, because it is at night that Cancers feel great. At the very lowest level, Cancers are scammers, embezzlers, sadists, cynics, they are also very loud. What can be the dynamics of your development as a Cancer? Cancers, as a rule, always rely on traditions. For a high Cancer, authority is everything that was in the distant past. You move to the present and future through the past. Retrospection is the natural background of your perception, and, as a rule, something new for you is well-forgotten old, this is their creed. Thus, you always rely on the past, on traditions, on family, you are somehow moving backward. If we talk about the country of Cancer, then it is, without a doubt, India, a country that is intimately related to its deep past, a country of deep spiritual traditions. In Indians, we find subtlety, intuitiveness, a connection with the element of Water, symbolizing mystery. If we talk about the problems of Cancers, then it is to harmonize their manifestations, which often occur in a distorted and perverted form. Often your will, the impulsive energy of Cancer, is in conflict with the emotional world. Often you subconsciously strive to possess social, public authority, without having sufficient grounds in your internal structure. Therefore, for you, it is essential to choose high landmarks, spiritual authorities for your development from childhood. For you, the problem of forming your internal spiritual world, building a spiritual core, which we always talk about, is undoubtedly important, and this is the foundation of each of our personalities, but especially for Cancers with their changeability, impressionability.

The Sun in Cancer In the first half of life, they exhibit a strong tendency toward travel and journeys, change and variety, while in the second half, they seek a peaceful haven and attachment to their home and family hearth. Until the age of 30–35, nothing comes to them systematically, as all noble intentions and work schedules are shattered by setbacks and twists of fate. Countless idealistic and romantic plans—whether regarding profession, work, or life in general—are crossed out by destiny, leaving only faint traces of youthful dreams and memories. Everything else must be rethought and rebuilt on a more realistic and practical foundation. With time, they gain life experience and knowledge, develop mature feelings and awareness, and eventually, without outside help, abandon the false path, leaving behind the air castles of their youth and stepping onto solid ground to enter real life. "Cancerians," as a rule, due to their shyness and timidity, dislike being in the spotlight, preferring to remain in the background or behind the scenes, despite the fact that success in life often comes to them only through high activity and willingness to engage in connections and contacts. Their social stability depends on how well they can avoid their unfortunate tendency to swing back and forth, move up and down, or take two steps forward and one back, and stop hiding behind their shell. These circumstances primarily hinder them from realizing their ideas and achieving their goals. In their fate, one can constantly observe alternating periods of bustle with periods of stagnation. But the most interesting thing is that after each stagnation, everything can begin anew on a completely different foundation, platform, or even in a different direction. Any success in the life of "Cancerians" comes mainly for two reasons: 1) if they manage to act entirely independently, without relying on anyone or anything, not submitting to external orders; 2) by "stirring up" their own ambition, persistence, perseverance, endurance, and resilience. Their spirit and soul, morals and character, feelings and intuition must harmonize with their profession, work, or position. Only such a symbiosis can bring them happiness and success in work and life. Otherwise, there will be new searches, changes, shifts, and alternating periods of stagnation or unrest. All of this, combined with their passionate desire for personal freedom, independence, self-reliance, unstructured time, and lack of ties to anyone or anything, steers them toward choosing free professions. According to statistical data, "Cancerians" gravitate toward the following fields: the world of art and creativity, where music and literature, painting and theater take the lead, followed by the world of science, particularly everything related to antiquity—ancient history and archaeology, the study of historical events, archives, and architectural monuments. The reason is that true "Cancerians" are always drawn to antiquity, to what has long passed. Among them are many actors and artists, painters and sculptors, performing musicians and composers, short story writers, adventure novelists, literary critics, musicologists, art historians, scientists, archaeologists, historians, geographers, travelers, and a number of statesmen and politicians. Many "Cancerians" work in the commercial sector related to exports and places with rapid turnover, such as ports and shipyards, fishing industries, hotels, and mills. They are passionate about water sports—swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and rowing. After the period of "storm and stress" subsides, they begin to seek a quieter refuge in government bodies, public institutions, educational and musical establishments, or fully devote themselves to artistic and creative crafts. They also make excellent scholars, writers, poets, actresses, musicians, and teachers. As a rule, they always need some stimulus for their actions—praise, approval, or encouragement. The activity driven by ambition in these women is often suppressed by their own phlegmatic nature. Their noticeable indecisiveness hinders them both in school years and later in life. These negative character traits force them, from a young age, to seek help and protection from loved ones and strong individuals, near whom they can rest and gather strength for a new struggle with their fateful rhythm.

June 22 - July 22. Cancer. Extremely sensitive and intuitive nature. Lives more in dreams than in the real world. Loves a slow and peaceful rhythm of life. Hides in a shell when faced with life's hardships. Often identifies with heroes of favorite films or novels, retains a childlike naivety for a long time, loves fantasy and everything strange. Always on guard, afraid to be hurt. Very attached to family, especially mother. Seeks a protector, a role model, and friendly people. Has a strong sense of beauty. Believes in luck, happy finds, and a bright future. Realizes abilities in areas of imagination, music, literature, and cinema. Influence of his planet, Moon, gives recognition from the public, especially if the Moon is in the 1st, 10th, or 12th house. Cancer is a gourmet; often a connoisseur of restaurants. Badly tolerates failures at work, becomes withdrawn when unsuccessful, although in principle, has a gift for charming those around him. Fate usually becomes more favorable in adulthood. Very sensitive and afraid of ridicule. Cancer is an emotional type, whose health condition changes sharply if he deviates from his usual lifestyle. He has many minor ailments; sometimes he just imagines them, but they greatly depress him. But what depresses him most is fatigue. Cancer needs a long sleep; this is his best therapy. He loves his bed, his room, his "cancer shell" that protects him from the hardships of the outside world. He has the property of accumulating the worries, troubles, and disappointments of those around him; it becomes easier for them, but harder for Cancer. He should avoid people who are gloomy and sick. Iodine is shown, which helps to activate the thyroid gland and renew cells, as well as maintain a figure. Milk products are shown. Melissa is shown from herbs. Pregnancy helps a woman-Cancer to restore balance. Rest by the sea, hydrotherapy are shown. Alcohol and any other stimulants are contraindicated.

"How your child likes to shine" Your little Cancer is a very sensitive child who may sometimes hide under what appears to be a hard shell to hide his hurt feelings or insecurities. Make no mistake, deep down in this child's soul there are strong emotions. He needs lots of affectionate hugs and "private" time with a caring parental figure (especially his mother). Reliability is very important to him - reliability in that he will be taken care of and fed when he is hungry. However, your little Cancer also takes care of you! It intuitively picks up your feelings, as well as the feelings of other people in its environment. If you are annoyed, for example, although you don't clearly show it, your child will sense it and may think that you are angry with him. Convince him that you have your own experiences that may have nothing to do with him. He needs confidence, knowledge of what is happening. Moody, irritability, withdrawal, or bad behavior are most often signs of insecurity and/or misinterpretation of feelings he has picked up in others. Home, family and traditions are very important for Cancer; he will love all family celebrations, meetings of relatives, receptions and will remember them forever. Your little Cancer needs a safe, personal place in the house that belongs only to him. There he'll probably collect and store more things than you might like, but keeping things safe is part of Cancer's desire for security. He will also be very frugal with money - he is the most thrifty of all the zodiac signs. This child needs plenty of approval, confidence and quiet security from those around him, and you will be rewarded with a very loving, gentle, unselfish child who will remain closely connected with you throughout your life.
