Sun in Cancer
Sun represents who you truly are deep down, your willpower and what gives you energy. In Cancer, it expresses itself with sensitivity and a wish to look after your own.
In Cancer — a cardinal water sign, ruled by the Moon — the Sun lodges in the house of the other luminary, peregrine in the waters that belong to the night. A strange dwelling for the star of day: its fire meets the moisture, and the brilliance withdraws inward, turned toward home, blood and root. It inclines to a domestic and protective authority, one that reigns in the seclusion of the family rather than in the public square, that guards its own as the crab guards its shell. It gives deep affection, memory of origins, zeal for what is intimate and inherited. Vitality pulses in tides, rising and falling with feeling. Dignity is sought in care and in shelter. The danger lies in too much gentleness, in the warmth that hides itself too far, in the susceptibility that closes up and in the mood that the soul’s tide brings and carries away.
