Cancer—tendencies of Sun Signs, 10/12

Water Signs

Cancer Suns are here for the feels, and they will always notice the emotional temperature of the room they are in. Highly attuned to the present emotional moment, Cancer Suns typically excel at easing the ups and downs of life and bringing people back into emotional awareness. They know that when we ignore our feelings, it only slows our process down. You’ll also get these qualities to some extent with Cancer Risings and Cancer Moons.

Cancer Suns tend to find themselves passionately called to some sort of emotional focus in their work, creating visibility for the poignant but elusive emotional world. They typically make good artists, musicians, and creatives of all kind, can be amazing nurturers and healers, and are often excellent in socially important positions. Be tender with the Cancer Suns in your life, as their sensitivity is higher than most. Their focus on what is happening within us in each moment brings meaning to life and helps us all process.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and the Moon can be anywhere in the chart relative to the Sun. Check the Moon’s position to get a sense of where a Cancer Sun’s emotional attention lies. Particularly good positions for the Moon would be in Cancer where it’s the ruler or Taurus where the Moon is exalted. Cancer Suns with their Moon in these positions are likely to find their emotional focus more welcomed, and their lives may flow more smoothly. More difficult positions for the Moon would be Capricorn where it’s in detriment or Scorpio where it’s in fall. Cancer Suns with the Moon in these positions might need to work through an arena of emotional stiffness (Capricorn) or intensity (Scorpio) that can be challenging. Still, there is an innate call to this work for a Cancer Sun.

As always, these are only stereotypes, that some people will fall outside of. Astrology is very complicated and the whole chart needs to be considered for accuracy. I’m available for personal readings at my site: sangastrology.com
