Astrology for Cancer Sun Sign

By Donna Page
Sep 27, 2009
In astrology Cancer is symbolized by the crab; remember the Crab has a very tough outer shell to protect its juicy tender meat. Many times the Cancer portrays such a tough exterior we never get to experience the soft sensitive side. All astrologers know that Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which represents the ever changing emotional tide.

Sometimes when the Cancer child was growing up she experienced a sudden fear of being abandoned that set up a thought that it is not safe to let go. It usually is a harmless situation but had impact a child. It could be an event such as mom or dad needing to check on something in the garage during a massive thunderstorm with a power outage that left the scared Cancer child alone, afraid and unsafe. Or temporarily getting disoriented or lost in a crowd; surrounded by unknown territory and strange people. Healing the fear of being abandoned is critical for the Cancer person.

One of the main karmic lessons for Cancer is learning when to let go. That can be a tough and painful experience for the Cancer person as they will need a space of trust and sharing in order to be close to you. It is the nature of Cancer to nurture and put effort and energy towards someone they care about.

This effort and energy put forth can be in a job, a friend, a lover or even a rescued pet. There can be an expectation that if I love and nurture you, or if I show up at work and do a good job, then you will return to me something where I feel taken care of.

This does not always happen and the first instinct can be to give the job or relationship even more effort in expectation that the care they want will eventually return to them. It can be a vicious cycle as more and more time and effort is expended leading to I have spent so much time already I cant give up now. Yet it is the destiny of the Cancer person to be able to say, this isn't ever going to give me what I need, let go, and move on.

Another astrology indicator for the Cancer person revolves around family. The Cancer is more attuned or sensitive to the concept of family than others. This does not mean that they have the perfect family, or they grew up in the perfect family, but that there is an issue about what does family mean? What is family?

Sometimes this can indicate they are the person that is relegated to take care of family, such as deciding what to do over an aging parent. Other times it can mean a crisis when it comes to deciding to have a child, or trying to have a child and nature not cooperating the way one expects when you decide that you want to get pregnant. The growth for Cancer comes when she feels safe in the world around her, that the inner foundation is secure and she does not fear being abandoned.

Astrology is a complex subject and we all have Cancer somewhere in our charts. When you understand your astrology chart and look at your life through the eyes of an astrologer you will have tools needed to have a happier life and grow spiritually.
