The Sun In Cancer

Life takes a sentimental turn when the Sun is in Cancer, the zodiac sign associated with home, family, and feelings.

Cancer coincides with the Summer Solstice, the official start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. This is a time when we’ll all celebrate the joy, light, and blessings that summer brings. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the planet of emotions and inner self. This reminds us of the deeply sensitive nature of this sign. When the Sun moves through this sign, we’re encouraged to listen to our feelings and respond to them in a constructive matter.

Cancer loves spending time with family and close friends. Cook dinner together, work on a craft project, or cuddle up on the couch with a good movie during this transit. Cancer craves security, so stick close to home and enjoy summertime in your own backyard. Even better, host a big barbecue to make your friends and family feel loved.

Cancer is an emotional sign, so while there are many highs during this time, the extra sensitivity you’re feeling may bring on a bad mood -- fast. This is why you’d be wise to stay home and cuddle up with your loved ones while the Sun is in Cancer. Sun in Cancer is a beautiful, tender, and sentimental time to enjoy with all your heart. Feel the feelings and love the love, as it only gets this sweet once a year.

Jupiter In Cancer

Jupiter is the planet of wisdom that encourages us to deeply process our thoughts, and Cancer is the sign of emotion, ruled by the Moon. When these two come together, what we consider to be truth will grow from the experiences we have, rather than abstract ideas. Wisdom comes from our interactions, our reactions, and the emotional intelligence that develops during this time. This is a chance to get to know ourselves from the inside out and have faith in our feelings.

Jupiter in Cancer is a time to nourish our relationships with the people we trust. We’ll crave more social time with our friends and family, and our appreciation for their presence and love will be intensified. With the planet of luck on our side, we might find ourselves pursuing or cultivating a serious, committed relationships. Our desire for closeness and connection at this time can make us a caring, loyal, and sometimes clingy loved one.

Home will become more than just a house while Jupiter is in Cancer. Jupiter’s desire for expansion combined with Cancer’s love for comfort and security can lead to renovations, redecorating, or additions to the home (human or otherwise). Our homes will become a haven to unpack and process the day.

Cancer is a highly sensitive sign that has a tendency to overreact and take things very personally. Exalted Jupiter does its best to stay positive and focused, but its grandiose influence can lead to feeling overloaded and having emotional breakdowns. During this transit, it’s our responsibility to find positive outlets to release and work through this tension, such as exercise, writing, or therapy. If we can resist reacting on these intense feelings, we’ll have more control of our outcome.
