Cancer is one of the four power signs and the only water (emotion and sensitivity) sign in the group: Power and water requires years of disciplined training to master!  Inner peace is the foundation for Enlightenment. Having calmly stated this truism,  I come in defense of emotions and of Cancer Sun types, oh, how they cry, how they jump for joy and then find themselves battling waves of depression! We all tend to be more emotional when the Sun transits through Cancer as are people born during this time. While in some cultures to be void of emotion equals to be lacking in art, feeling, passion  and creative expressions (in other words, downright dull), in others, like our own predominantly, to be emotional means to be weak, vulnerable, irrational, overly dramatic and even sometimes borderline crazy! But many totally irrational, ridiculously false, completely out the window notions are voiced with great composure and apparent intelligence. The news alone should have taught us by now that the package cannot speak for the veracity of the contents! Being calm does not   necessarily mean being right, although granted, to not be moved by any force or circumstance within or without because one is anchored in the heart and bound to God is a state worthy of aspiration!

On July 4th, 1776, as the newly formed United States’ Declaration of Independence (from England) was signed and announced to the people the Sun, Venus and Jupiter were all in Cancer: such a bold move required the force of passion, conviction and let’s say it, emotional patriotism!
