Cancer astrology. The sign of motherhood, emotions and sensitivity.

Cancer

Cancer is the sign of motherhood, emotions, sensitivity, and the care of the home. The feminine, motherly aspect of this sign reveals itself here in its finest light, if you are open for it.

You are a person who takes care of others and gives them protection. You care about people and don’t want anyone to feel excluded. The great test you face is the building of your own home. You can either build a home that gives warmth and love to everyone, or build a wall behind which you isolate yourself from the rest of the world.

The house you build must be based on light, and allow the light of love to enter. If it is built on fear, desire or separatism you will retire into your shell, and the end result will leave you unhappy. If you search for “security“ in external objects you will close the door so that love can’t enter; you close the door to your own heart. Your lesson is to learn that material possessions are to be used, but they have no value in themselves.

In Cancer you learn to take care of people, as a mother is taking care of her children.

You have to learn what is the true meaning of taking care of somebody. For the immature soul this means that you want to give to other people what you like most yourself. If you like red color on shirts you will give red color shirts to everyone, no matter if other people prefer green, blue or whatever other color. You want to help and to protect, but it is always on your own conditions. This is the first step of true motherhood, good step but a bit selfish. This also makes the mother who is overprotective, who can’t let her children try their own wings and let them make their own mistakes.

As you grow into more maturity you will gradually understand the difference between your own desires and the needs of other people. When you meet someone and listen to the inner voice in the heart you will sense what the other person really needs. This may be equal to your own needs or what the other person believes is good for him, but this is not always the case. Listen to what your soul talks about what other people really need. As time passes you will also learn to find your own inner and true needs, and these will often be different from what your outer desires tells you.

Cancer is the sign of home, and home is always important for a Cancer person. You have to build a house of love and warmth, so that the soul-energy can enter your home and benefit everyone who lives there. In this home you develop compassion and sense the true need of all people in the house. Cancer is also the sign of masses, this will make you either too dependent of what other people think and of public opinion or for the older soul the capacity to tune in to the masses and to understand what they need. Being sensitive this will make you understand how to help other people, or make you over-sensitive so that you find it difficult to cope with all emotions in other people
and yourself.

By your great love, by your softness, warmth and gentleness (that yet carries much strength), and by your mere presence you can transmute your surroundings, giving love and healing psychological wounds, helping people to understand that they are loved for who they are.
