Cancer in Tarot and Astrology


Details
Summertime....and the livin' is easy......The sun is at its zenith in the Northern Hemisphere and the natural world is bringing forth its cyclic production. Cancer comes to the forefront in all of its focused attention, nurturing nature and child like fun.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and is reflected the The Chariot in the Tarot. The moon is sensitive and changeable. We remember from our study of Taurus that the Moon is represented by The High Priestess in the Tarot, so her deep connection to the Collective Unconscious has a part to play in this month's story. Jupiter is exalted Cancer, hence we will take a peek at The Wheel of Fortune to inform us further. Saturn (The World) is in Detriment and Mars (The Tower) is in Fall. As a water sign Cancer is also is seen in the whole of the Suit of Wands.
As we focus on nurturing Cancer we encounter our second Cardinal sign of the year. The Cardinal signs are the Way Showers, the instigators, ready to forge ahead with plans, and attract those that can support their efforts. Cardinal signs are leaders, and tend to be outgoing because they're engaged with the world in a dynamic way. They're restless to start new projects, and happiest when running the show. Cancer as the Cardinal Water sign leads with the heart and casts a palpable emotional force that pushes into new territory.
