Sun in Cancer

23 June 1936, 12:36, Oak Park, IL, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Richard 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 10th house

You are a firm, serious, persistent and ambitious person with numerous plans and clearly set goals, for which you are often prepared to make some sacrifices. You understand and respect hierarchy ladder and rise slowly, but surely – thanks to your own abilities, knowledge and good strategy.

Sun sextile Moon

You usually have a good-natured and pleasant character and are positively oriented. Although you are emotional, your emotions are usually in accordance with your intellect. You love pleasures, which you usually successfully unite with business and other obligations. Good changes often come your way in life, they are frequently connected to women or with areas, that are generally considered to be women's domain.

Sun conjunction Venus

Because of such an aspect, you are kind and good-natured and you usually also have a pleasant look, you are often even a very attractive person and in general, you radiate warmness and heartiness. You love life and all pleasures – good food (that is why you often have to fight obesity) and drink, music, art and all other good things in life, including friendships, love and sex. Sometimes you tend to be lazy and take the line of least resistance. You appreciate simple values, are friendly and usually hospitable and people mostly like you because of these characteristics. You often have a talent for artistic professions and can be very successful in them. Because in astrology Venus is attributed a happy and good meaning, your life is mostly accompanied by happiness and good health (unless other strong aspects don't indicate differently). Often, this aspect also promises fertility.

Sun conjunction Mars

Because of such aspect in your personal horoscope, you are usually energetic and combative, dynamic, impetuous and passionate. You are often enthusiastic about sport and also talented or you can achieve (even more visible) results in sport (especially if other positions or aspects of your horoscope emphasis it), you often also work in army or police. Sometimes your impetuousness reflects in intolerance and rebelliousness, you are also prone to injuries. You are usually competitive, but also ambitious enough to fulfill some of your plans. With your strong personality you attract numerous people, because besides leadership abilities you also have dynamic energy, which often also encourages other people, despite the fact that you sometimes are a difficult and too fast character for other people because of your haste, competitiveness and fighting mood and people sometimes hardly keep up with you.

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.
