Cancer Sign: Aspects
Although fragility and weakness are often interpreted as synonyms, Cancer comes to prove the distinction between them. In fact it is a fragile energy, not wrongly it has a crab as a symbol, which besides being covered by a shell, is always looking for a hole to protect itself from the impacts caused by the external world. However, there is nothing weak about it, its strength is such that it supports living between two worlds: the aquatic and the terrestrial.
- It is ruled by the Moon that, with its feminine energy, speaks of the family connection, of ancestry, of care, of the need for security. It deals with affectivity, as much of what affects us, as of our capacity to affect others.
- Cancer belongs to the Water element, which feels the most subtle of movements. It is the element of emotions, sensitivity, intuition, and subjectivity.
- The house associated with this sign is the 4th house, the Sky Bottom, which speaks of our role within the family context, our roots and history.
The Sun in Cancer
Builder of dreams
When the star king SUN illuminates this energy, it illuminates qualities such as caring, affection, protection, sensitivity, and dreams. Cancer speaks of the art of caring for that which needs nurturing and protection.
Our existence impacts the world and the world impacts our subjectivity. Cancer, just like its ruler, the Moon, goes through phases in which it is more or less sensitive to bad weather; however, the external world somehow impacts its being. Hence comes his need to seek shelter in environments and people with whom he is intimate and who give him security.
The Cancerian also needs moments of seclusion in order to digest the more intense situations he experiences. Much of the affection that he has for his home comes from this need for a lap and warmth to restructure.
Cancer has a very strong connection with its ancestry. He likes to hear and tell family stories, both those he has lived through, and those that have survived generations. He appreciates the bonds of affection, and with his creative imagination, he finds it easy to build dreams.

Opposites and complements: Cancer and Capricorn
Fulfillment of desires
In Cancer there is the memory of the past with the dream of the future. In Capricorn there is the present that arrives in the eternal present, that is, the here and now. This is the moment to act.
Cancer can benefit from this Capricornian practicality, allowing itself to get hands-on and bring its dreams to the plane of the concrete. It is necessary to step out of the world of illusions and understand that action is inevitable for things to truly happen.
Another lesson to be learned with Capricorn energy is to set limits and accept that limits are also imposed by others. Limits are a demonstration of affection, for it is from this that comes the preservation of yourself and your choices.
By enlightening his shadow, the Cancerian can learn to organize himself better, to plan and to have more discipline when facing life.

Security and surrender
This is a very delicate sign when it comes to relationships. Therefore, at first you may find it a little difficult to allow yourself to experience passion, because of your tendency to search for security. However, as they feel more at ease, they are able to give themselves away.
The Cancerian is emotionally involved, and for him, either the relationship is deep or it is not. They are people who really invest in the connection that exists between the parties, which generates solid and lasting relationships.
One of the challenges for both Cancerians and their partners is to deal with mood swings that, like the moon, can vary more frequently than both parties would like. It is worth paying attention to this and keeping the dialogue open so that these emotions can be expressed before they affect the life of the couple.
