Sun in Cancer

18 July 1940, 12:00, Los Angeles, CA, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to James as “you”.

The position of the Sun in the sign is the most significant point in the personal horoscope of each individual. After all, it is the most prominent and most noticeable object in the sky.

The position of the Sun is what we usually call "our horoscope sign". For example, if someone's horoscope sign is Aries, this means that at the moment of birth, the Sun was situated in the Aries sign. The Sun makes its way through all 12 signs of the horoscope in one year. It stays in each sign for an average of 1 month.

The Sun in your horoscope represents your personality, your inner self, your self-awareness. Through the Sun's position, we can see how you, as an individual with your desires and needs, adapt and react to the influences of your surroundings and also how you express your inner potentials.

Sun in Cancer

You are a very emotional and sensitive person. You are good and soft-hearted, highly compassionate and understanding, and always willing to help those in need. You are a romantic person, and you love your home and family. You often also have deep patriotic feelings. You are poetic and artistic by nature, you are especially drawn to poetry, even if you work in other professions, like tourism or catering (as a chef/cook, waiter, caterer, sommelier...).

You have an excellent memory and strong intuition. You dream a lot and your actions are usually very susceptible to the influence of the Moon. You have an unusual sense of humor. Because you are a person vulnerable and susceptible to external influences (you absorb impressions like a sponge), you need a lot of time for yourself. Try to take care of yourself adequately – with healthy reflection, meditation, positive affirmations and all other self-improvement techniques.

Sensitive, gentle, need time for self

You change your mood very quickly; you have an unpredictable temper and can sometimes be sullen and grumpy. You don't trust others and as soon as you feel threatened, you withdraw into your shell. However, you have an abundance of inner energy that you can use with great success, especially for caring and nurturing others (that is why you are often successful in medicine). That said, you must avoid giving yourself away too much since your character attracts 'energy vampires'.

You should often go to secluded places where you can relax completely - preferably in the vicinity of water. Visiting these sites, plus the ability to create in peace and solitude will recharge your batteries. All your senses are acute, and you often have problems with your liver, kidney, stomach and metabolism.

Sun in 9th house

You most certainly travel a lot in your life or you at least have a lot of contacts with foreign countries or are even attached to a foreign country in some sense. You are probably interested in science, have a very inquisitive nature, are eager to learn and are also interested in religion, faraway countries and their cultures. You are attracted to journalism, reporting and other similar professions.

Sun as culminating planet

Because the Sun is your culminating planet, you radiate a lot of positive energy and are usually good-natured and kind, even if other factors in your horoscope don't otherwise emphasize this. You have pleasant character and behavior, so people like you very much. You have a positive attitude towards work and usually achieve success in business. You are attracted to politics and are interested in manifold areas, including sport, and you can also achieve good results in numerous of these areas.

Sun opposition Moon

With such aspect, you are usually restless, moody and changeable, your well-being often changes and your actions to a great extent depend on how you feel – if you feel good, you have an enormous amount of energy and are very motivated and efficient, in the opposite case, you are apathetic and introverted. You are very sensitive, but you often hide this (by being cold, robust or loud). Your life seems as a continuous serious of ups and downs and you are often your own worst enemy, also often in conflicts with others. This is the consequence of deeply rooted inner dissatisfaction, acquired in early youth – perhaps because of lack of understanding or love and/or such pattern (arguing or tension) was present in the family you originate from.

Sun conjunction Mercury

Conjunction is actually the only aspect which the Sun and Mercury can form, because the maximum distance between them is less than 30 degrees (and so less than one astrological sign). You are usually a dynamic, moveable and persuasive person and usually have good ability of speech and communication. You quickly make conclusions and connections (unless Mercury is in another bad aspect or goes retrograde) and you often also have a good nose for business, you also master the art of bluffing. You have a sharp and quick mind, sense of detail and you are cunning, although you are also often talented in languages, writing, music and art. You are very sociable, also easy going and adaptable, that is why you have many acquaintances and friends and people, as a rule, like you and often invite you places. You have an audacious, curious and youthful nature and often also looks.

Sun sextile Uranus

You are usually open, dynamic and sociable. You associate with the most different of people, also with special ˝characters˝, you often yield to your impulses. You are resourceful, clever, inventive and original. Because of this, you are interesting and attractive to others and they like being in your company. You can often benefit from other people, sometimes in a sudden or unusual way or from unexpected direction.

Sun sextile Neptune

Such position gives you a certain grace, charm and easiness, both in appearance and in movement, that is why others find you interesting and attractive and they like being in your company. You usually have vivid imagination and strong intuition which you trust, often you have sense of beautiful things, art and music and you like socializing in artistic circles. You often follow your inner gut, which serves you quite well in life, even if your common sense tells you differently.

Sun conjunction Pluto

Because you have such an aspect, you are, as a rule, a decisive and combative, intelligent and perspicacious person. Even if you don't at first glance look special, you possess a certain attraction and it is hard not to notice you (unless the Sun isn't in a ˝weaker˝ sign or if ˝weaker˝ signs/positions/aspects aren't prevailing). You often seem cold and unreachable, although on the inside you are a true spring of passion and energy. You have an impetuous and often competitive, most often also very ambitious character. You usually have a rebellious spirit and are hard to tame and direct in your youth, because you often trust only yourself and soon develop your own systems and models of acting. You have strong desires and demands in all areas, also in love and sex, which you give great meaning to. You are successful in all areas, where your power and influence on others can express themselves. Because of your natural tendency to unveil all layers of the human mind and emotions, you are also successful in professions that deal with human nature, such as psychology and psychiatry. You often have problems with digestion and problems in the area of you sexual chakra (which is often the consequence of too strong, yet suppressed emotions).

Sun square Ascendant

With such an aspect in your natal chart, you are usually dynamic, energetic and also restless. You are impetuous, competitive, brave and audacious and enthusiastically (and often successfully) tackle all tasks and also your numerous and ambitious plans. However, you often harmonize all sides of your personality with difficulty and sometimes you, at the cost of one side, neglect the other sides. You often show a different image of yourself, which is different from who you really are. You like it when others notice you and have a need for being recognized, making a good impression on others is very important to you. Sometimes you are prone to snobbism.

Sun conjunction MC

The Sun which appears ˝highest˝ in the sky and which is also in conjunction with the axis of the 10th house (MC), actually has a similar influence as when it appears in Ascendant, but it influences you once your personality is already shaped and not so much the characteristics given to you at birth (which is the case with the Ascendant). Its influence is perhaps also not so visible in a physical sense (as in conjunctions with the Ascendant), so it perhaps doesn't influence your looks so much, but more what you radiate and your entire personality, which you build in life, which is tightly connected to the profession you do or the area in which you create. However, the Sun in this position often also influences your looks. You are well-natured and hearty, both in your feats and in leader position, which is not rare, because you often have leadership abilities and are also ambitious and people like and appreciate you because of your positive orientation and energy. You are successful in many professions and you act in manifold areas, most often in such which are in some way or another connected to the public.
