Rebecca BrentsWere you born with the Sun in Cancer? Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac. It follows Gemini in the Zodiacal line-up. As a rule, the range of Cancer covers the time from June 22nd until July 22nd. In mundane astrology, when the Sun travels through Cancer each year, it is a time of devotion to private life matters, connecting with one's family and domestic concerns, tending to one's physical dwelling, and giving attention to one's feelings and inner world.
Cancer is a Water sign. Water signs are considered feminine, passive, reactive, receptive, introverted, and enduring. They attract experiences and "take advantage of opportunities" rather than creating circumstances independently. Though capable of acting forcefully, they often prefer to "wait and see what happens" before making any moves. In addition to Cancer, the other two water signs are Scorpio and Pisces.
Cancer is also a Cardinal Sign. The Cardinal Signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. These personalities tend to be very direct and to the point in their presentation. They are energetic, personally ambitious, impulsive and impatient.

Happy Birthday, Cancer!!
You are the birthday child this month -- and if you're in the mood, we could talk a while about your upcoming year. So, I guess the question is ... are you in the mood? Moods, after all, are such a part of your character, that even if you're not in the mood at the moment ... in a little while you will be. That's a major fact of life with you ... you're, well, changeable. You've got a mood for every occasion ... and given enough time, you'll find the right one for this moment, too.
Happy Birthday, Cancer!!

Personal Components in Cancer
Cancer's world is rooted in a love of family and home-folks. Cancer energy thrives on the safety and protection of home life. It craves the company and support of family and loved ones. If home is where the heart is, Cancers are the most heart-centered sign in the Zodiac. For sure they want a home of their own ... but they also want a home -- a sanctuary of safety and security -- for everyone else.
In the same all-inclusive way we wish for "peace on earth" for all mankind. Cancers think everyone -- and every living thing -- should have a refuge, a haven where they feel safe, loved and valued.

The Qualities of Cancer
Cancer is devoted to the maintenance and welfare of those it considers "members of the family." It is sensitive to its surroundings, responsive to disruptions -- and serenity -- in the environment, and often buffeted about by its own moods and feelings. Under stress, Cancer can be moody, complaining, fretful, weepy, and reclusive.

There is one Cardinal sign for each of the elements. Cardinal signs are one element in what astrologers call "The Quadruplicities" ... or "The Qualities" ... or "The Modalities" ... a way of grouping the Zodiac signs according to the strategies they use to pursue their ambitions based on their different -- and often conflicting -- values.

Meet the Cardinal Signs
Cardinal signs are leaders. They work through the power of personal charisma. They are interested in getting things started ... making progress on new initiatives ... and establishing their vision in the world -- according to their values and interests. Cardinal signs can be pushy and demanding ... but they dig in, take charge, and get the job done.

Meet the Water Signs
Water Signs represent emotional, instinctive, and subconscious energy that is nurturing, healing, and transformative. They are feeling, sensitive, intuitive, responsive, protective, and passionate. It's fair to say Water Sign energy is the last word, the last step in each chapter of the creative process, as the "result" finishes one stage of maturity and moves on to the next.

The Moon / Cancer Person
Moon / Cancer energy can be seen in a number of different patterns or placements in a person's Natal Chart. All the following combinations give the Moon / Cancer energy of sensitivity, family-orientation, and exceptional intuition to anyone who owns them, but some are not obvious to the non-astrologer.

Why is Cancer Important?
We all have Cancer energy expressing somewhere in our lives. True, if you don't have a planet in Cancer or a major placement, like Cancer Rising, your Cancer energy is indirect, possibly confined only to the affairs of the house that has Cancer on the cusp.
Even if you have the Cancer / Capricorn axis intercepted in your chart, you still have Cancer energy in your character ... and in your life ... even though it is so private, so closely contained and secluded only you may really perceive its presence at all.
