Sun enters Cancer

Summer Solstice 21^st June 2023 15h58; Sun enters Cancer – read more about Sun Cancer people below.

The Sun reaches its Zenith at the Solstice, its northern most point and pauses for a single beat. The longest day and the shortest night, the fullness of summer light before the northern hemisphere begins its annual journey back towards the winter-dark. 

This Solstice chart sets the scene for the second half of the year. The Moon is in fiery Leo and thus in mutual reception with the Cancer Sun. This is a sympathetic connection between our yin and yang sides, between conscious and unconscious. 

The chart is full of fire and water, with Mars and Venus also resplendent in Leo ruled by the Cancer Sun. This speaks of expressing the values of our people, our family and tribe, and fighting for these values. It also tempers the Leo Mars a dose of caution and strategy. Express yourself and flash your colours but do it thoughtfully with empathy and feeling. 

The idea of finding a ‘Middle Way’ is echoed by the exact aspect between Jupiter and Saturn grounding the emotion of Water in the practicality of Earth. This gives the opportunity to give substance to our imagination and feeling nature in practical ways and in the real world.

The air element is offered by Mercury, providing reconnaissance, connection and information via a helpful aspect to Mars from lively Gemini.

Cancer is an emotional, family-oriented sign, ruled by the fluctuating Moon. Sun Cancer people are caring and live by their feeling nature. They are reflective, sensitive, often bubbly and fun, sometimes moody. They can be adventurous, but always love to return home to their roots and memories. Cancer is the most nostalgic of all the signs and the most entrenched in the fabric of its past. It’s people are deeply protective of family and tribe with a naturally cautious streak that seeks security and is careful with money and resources.

Don’t underestimate Sun Cancerians, however, for all their loving nature, they have a canny side too. This is a Cardinal sign, after all, it gets things going and is excellent in business. Cancer feels its way into things, picking up atmospheres and divining what is going to work. This sign approaches things crab-like, sideways on, testing the water before sliding in.

Sun Cancerians include mega-rich businessmen Richard Branson and Elon Musk. Richard Branson has spoken about creating a family atmosphere within his company. Create a tribe and keep your people close are values that work well for Cancer, creating security and keeping those they love safe.
