          The Basics

          With your Sun in Cancer, you are a sensitive and emotional individual who is deeply connected to your family and home. You possess an empathetic and caring nature, and are known for your nurturing and protective qualities. You are intuitive and receptive, with a strong emotional depth that allows you to connect with others on a deep level. However, you can be moody and cautious at times, and may struggle with letting go of past hurts.

          Living Through Emotions: Understanding Cancerians

          Cancerians respond to life through their emotions rather than through their minds.  They tend to absorb the emotional vibrations of wherever they are, so it is essential to always be in positive environments.  Because they live in their feelings, they unconsciously seek sympathy and attention, and affection from others.  They have a strong need to feel secure, and home and family bring the highest sense of security.  Because of all this, they need to be with those they love, or they are very unhappy.  Cancerians tend to be clingy and must learn to release their loved ones to live their own lives.

          Cancerians are usually conservative, and unfortunately, are born worriers.  Their tendency to keep all their problems to themselves is why some suffer from ulcers.  They have this sense that something is ready to sneak up on them and "get" them.  Watch a Cancer walk and see if they aren't walking a bit sideways, looking ahead of them and behind them at the same time.  Stabilizing the emotions is important work for any Cancer person.

          Memories and Sentimentality: Cancerians' Pack Rat Nature

          Cancerians most often have excellent memories.  This causes them to reminisce about the past and how things were done then.  They are generally pack rats, saving everything, especially if it has some sentimental value as this gives them a sense of security.

          Homebodies at Heart

          Cancerians are home-loving, fond of family life and domestic tranquillity, quietly tenacious, and hard-working for the welfare of the family.  They may like the idea of travel, but no matter how far they may roam, they always want a home to come back to.

          Motivation Matters: Physical Activity for Cancerians

          Cancerians are well-known for changing — their minds, their moods (anything).  Since they usually possess a slower-moving life force, they are usually less physically active than others.  In general, they dislike exercise.  As a consequence, they may become out of shape and gain weight in later years.  In order to be active, they must first take steps to muster up motivation in their mind.

          Cosmodynes

          *Look at your Cosmodyne scores for your Sun's Power and Harmony for more insight.  While everyone has good and bad days, your Cosmodynes reveal where you lean toward on average.  (As we age, we learn to deal with all of our placements, and hopefully, we evolve into more harmonious beings than our Natal charts suggest.)   Transits to your Sun, especially from the outer planets, greatly affect its expression as well.

          A Harmonious Sun in Cancer:

          • You possess a strong sense of empathy and intuition, which allows you to understand and connect with others on a deep level.
          • Your nurturing nature makes you an excellent caregiver, friend, and partner.
          • You have a deep appreciation for the past and your roots, and may have a strong connection to your family and home.
          • Your emotional intelligence and sensitivity can be a valuable asset in navigating complex interpersonal dynamics.
          • You have a natural ability to create a sense of safety and comfort for those around you, which can make you an excellent host or hostess.

          A Discordant Sun in Cancer:

          • Be mindful of becoming too emotionally reactive or clingy, as your desire for closeness and security can sometimes come across as smothering to others.
          • Be careful not to retreat into your shell and avoid conflict or difficult emotions, as this can lead to unresolved issues and resentment.
          • Beware of becoming overly protective or defensive of your loved ones, as this can create unnecessary tension and conflict.
          • Be aware of your tendency to hold onto grudges or past hurts, as this can prevent you from moving forward and building stronger relationships.
          • Remember to take time to care for yourself and practice self-care, as your natural inclination to care for others can sometimes lead to neglecting your own needs.

          Relationships:

          With Sun in Cancer, you are known to be highly compatible with other water signs like Scorpio and Pisces. You share a deep emotional connection and desire for intimacy with these signs. Additionally, you can also have a strong connection with earth signs like Taurus and Virgo who offer stability and practicality in relationships.

          On the other hand, you may find it challenging to connect with air signs like Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, as they prioritize intellectual connection and variety over emotional connection and consistency. Similarly, fire signs like Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius may also pose a challenge as they are more impulsive and adventurous than you are.

          Cancer as a lover and partner:

          As someone with Sun in Cancer, you tend to be a loving and nurturing partner who values emotional connection and intimacy. You are highly sensitive to the needs of your partner and prioritize their well-being over your own. You also tend to be quite intuitive and are often able to sense your partner's emotions before they express them.

          In relationships, you may struggle with insecurity and a fear of rejection, which can lead to possessiveness and jealousy. However, when you feel secure in your relationships, you are one of the most caring and dedicated partners.

          Common relationship issues and how to resolve them:

          One common relationship issue that Sun in Cancer individuals may face is a tendency to become too emotionally attached and dependent on their partners. This can lead partners to feelings of suffocation and a lack of independence. To resolve this, it's important for Cancer individuals to prioritize their own emotional needs and cultivate a sense of self-sufficiency.

          Another common issue is a tendency to be overly sensitive and take things too personally. This can lead to unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings in relationships. To overcome this, Cancer individuals should work on developing thicker skin and learn to communicate their feelings in a clear and non-accusatory manner.

          Tips for maintaining a healthy relationship with a Sun in Cancer partner:

          To maintain a healthy and fulfilling relationship with a Sun in Cancer partner, it's important to prioritize emotional connection and intimacy. Be patient and understanding with their emotional needs, and offer reassurance and support when they feel insecure or vulnerable. At the same time, encourage them to cultivate a sense of independence and self-sufficiency, and avoid becoming too emotionally dependent on each other.

          Communicate openly and honestly, and be willing to listen and validate their feelings. Show appreciation for their caring and nurturing nature, and don't take their dedication and loyalty for granted.
