With  Mercury   in the sign of Cancer now and with the Venus  going in on July 7th  we are getting the summer swing of the planets through this watery sign.  If you are Cancer moon or Cancer rising in the Vedic system or have Cancer rising in the D9 chart or even if your Sun is in Cancer (born July 17-August 16th), you may relate to the material presented below but we all have some Cancer in our chart that impacts us in some way.

Cancer rising has problem with the earth element and the material world and has to learn how to save money  and work in the world.  Depending on other factors in the chart, Cancer has  problems manifesting in the material world.  This can be off-set by a strong balance of well-placed planets in Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo can be helpful if in the chart to offset this latent flaw. A well-placed Venus or Saturn can offset this imbalances particularly if they are well-aspected or are in Taurus or Capricorn.   Cancers have to  actively focus on  taking those success seminars and getting out in the material world when they would rather just meditate and bathe in the wonders of the spiritual world.

If the moon is afflicted by  malefics like Rahu, Ketu, Mars or Saturn or if the Moon is poorly placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th houses or in the troubled signs like Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius or Gemini than the  the  darker side of this sign can come out particularly  is it that can lead to moodiness,  being sarcastic, impolite, critical, self-deprecation, mocking and ridicule.  Cancer have to avoid getting to caught up in their head, being too rigid and getting too stuck with attitude.

If you have planets  in Cancer in your chart or even in the D9 / Navamsha chart, they reveal what can be our best friend, and what can  provide care or heal us.  So if Venus is in Cancer in D1 or D9 then women will be a source of care and healing for you where as if Mars in Cancer in D1 or D9 it mean that your or siblings are  a source of healing and care or if Jupiter is in Cancer than your Guru or priest or a coach would be a source of care

The rising sign may not be as soft  and gentle as the stereotype might envision as the constellation of Ashlesha (Cancer 16.20-30.00) can have a poisoned tongue and be prone to gossip and even the auspicious Pushya Nakshatra section (Cancer 3.20-16.40) can be prone to melancholy and depression and criticism with Saturn being the ruler.

Cancers have problems with being too dependent or clingy, hoarding, hypersensitivity, moody, and picking dysfunctional friends and partners.   They need to get more grounded so doing gardening, building and carpentry and home-fix-it projects is helpful.  Increasing the fire element through active and fiery aerobic exercise is important to get the solar plexus enlivened and get the fire moving and avoiding overeating and obsession with food and cooking and cleaning and this  can help re-balance its nurturing nature.

Cancer rising may have blind spots to the following:  Blind to how self-centered they can be of all the signs.

  • Their emotional needs are more important than anyone.
  • Blind to domestic smothering that can happen.
  • Blind to boundaries—what to let in and what not to let in.
  • Blind to passive aggressiveness which may protect their own inner turmoil.
  • Clinging to family and security issues too much.
  • Blind to learning possessiveness—Cancers would rather lose a claw than let go of possessions. Learning not to hoard stuff, give to Goodwill regularly and cleaning out clutter is very key.
