Cancer  June 21 to July 22

A cardinal water sign of negative polarity ruled by the Moon. Key Phrase: 'I Feel'

Cancer is represented by the crab. It's shell is the armour which hides extreme sensitivity and shyness, as well as physical and psychological vulnerability. Cancers protect themselves from the possibility of emotional hurt by withdrawing and finding their security in solitude. The sun in cancer is strongly linked to domesticity and homemaking. Cancers possesses highly developed protective and defensive instincts aimed at material and domestic security. Cancer people are very complex, they appear to have the strength of a giant and the next minute they seem to be as weak as a kitten. Cancers have a deep sense of responsibility toward their families and do not take kindly to interference. Highly imaginative and very sensitive, they have no sense of humour when it comes to the protection of what is theirs.

Forecast 2011 to 2012

Complicated Pluto entered the sign of Capricorn in November 2008 and will oppose your Cancer Sun for the next 16 years. This aspect involves power struggles with others, particularly with people in authority over you.  Some conflicts, you can avoid, simply by taking evasive actions, but, other conflicts, you will need to take control - draw the line and assert your position, firmly declaring your independence. 

Neptune from the sign of Aquarius is still testing your stress levels, and shaking up your belief systems. This is a time of adjustments and revisions. Your little corner of the world needs some airing out. Neptune reveals hidden insights to let you know you have choices. When Neptune enters the sign of Pisces in February 2012, it will mark the first complete orbit around the Sun since its' discovery in 1846. Neptune will trine your Sun, stimulating your creative imagination. In 2011 Neptune tests the water and takes a quick dip into the sign of Pisces (from April to July), giving you a sneak preview of what the future holds.

Unconventional Uranus, always full of surprises, entered the sign of Aries in March 2011, squaring your Cancer Sun. Unexpected events will test your ability to withstand the challenges you face under this transit. Uranus awakens your desire for personal freedom.

Success is measured by your ability to maintain your sense of self - your realization that your are secure and comfortable with your own unique individuality, no matter what changes take place in your corner of the world.

Serious Saturn entered the sign of Libra in July 2010 and will stay until October 2012. Saturn is about responsibility and commitments. Libra is about balance, co-operation and teamwork. Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra, stressing the importance of fair play and mutual respect. Both are essential to achieve and maintain harmonious relationships. This is a square aspect to your Cancer Sun and will challenge relationships you have held onto for many years. This is the time to re-evaluate them.  This period in your life is directly linked to what you started seven years ago, which was a time of new beginnings for you. What you started then, needs to be scrutinized for possible flaws, or you may just find those projects  are no longer of value to you now. You may also want to make major changes in your career, be absolutely sure you have all the facts and you feel you are making the right decision - before you commit.

Jupiter enters the sign of Taurus in June 2011 and will sextile your Cancer Sun until June 2012. Jupiter in Taurus is about developing your material wealth. Sun in Cancer is about having a secure sanctuary. This transit will bring you the opportunity to enhance your practical abilities; such as making sound investments in real estate and your financial portfolio. Jupiter gives you the confidence you need to succeed.
