As a water sign, Cancer is connected to feelings. It’s a place from which cravings for comfort emerge, and the moods of your soul make themselves known. It’s a sensitive sign, that, like its ruler the Moon, ebbs and flows. Each month, the Moon spends 48 hours here, reconnecting with her heart, remembering and caring.
As the Moon’s sole sign, there are many layers to Cancer. The Moon is the vessel of memories, and it’s when the Moon is in Cancer that reminiscing occurs. You reflect on how things were, sometimes nostalgic for the perceived comfort of the past. In contrast, the present seems all to confronting, chaotic and unstable.
With Uranus and Pluto now settled into fellow cardinal signs, Aries and Capricorn respectively, there are a few bumps in the road as the Moon moves through early Cancer. If you know your chart, and have planets or chart points between 8 – 12 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), you’ll be most affected.
Personal planets aside, the Moon in Cancer is at her best – in rulership, and thus able to offer connections based on the heart, and reveal genuine caring companions.
Comfort, safety, home, food are all in the spotlight.
Within a couple of hours (by mid morning in Australia and early evening eastern) the Moon will have cleared the Uranus/Pluto zap zone and be focussed on doing what she does best – helping you remember your heart.
Go gently today, hearts are tender. Kind words and tender smiles make the world of difference.
