Do not underestimate Cancer’s extreme need, Cancer’s requirement to feel safe, before getting anything done — and this can mean work, sex, love, any challenge, ANYTHING. Even going to the store. Simple things. A mood swing can send Cancer back to bed. And I am thinking of Cancer Sun or Moon here.
Cancer can’t be forced, pushed cajoled, not even coaxed. Cancer arrives right on time, on her or his OWN time and no one else’s. Dear Human trying to convince Cancer: MEET THE SHELL.
It’s not that Cancer is stubborn like Taurus is stubborn – for example: if you are dealing with an annoying customer service person or you need to convince someone of something like your landlord to come fix the doorknob – get a Taurus to help you because they will dig in and stonewall and they will keep on asking questions and apply other techniques and work to prevent what they want from slipping away.
Cancer is different. They aren’t thinking about YOU, what they can get from YOU. They are busy with their inner world and questions of: is it safe to come out and play? Is it safe to kiss this person? Is it safe to take this job? Is it safe to wear the purple socks? No? OH NO! Yes? AHHHH YES.
Jupiter in Cancer = this need for safety grows in us. We become more protective of ourselves and our family (however you define that). More sensitive but also more afraid. We will KNOW quite clearly what feels dangerous to us and what feels like a cozy kitty cat on the bed, a lovely cup of tea, and a stash of cash in the bank. Cancer (unless painfully afflicted in one way or another) saves for a rainy day, even a humble dollar.
Enter Uranus and Pluto.Β We (Cancers in general and all of us during Jupiter in Cancer) WILL feel threatened (thanks Pluto!). We will feel on edge (thanks Uranus).
One of the keys I think is to remember that Jupiter is luck and Jupiter is opportunity and Cancer is FAMILY. Time to restablish/restablish YOURS to your liking. Make contact with those you left behind or cut off. Who is in your circle? Who do you want in it? Who has got to go? Are you moving? Are you baby-minded? Who are you nurturing? Does it include you? Or everyone except you? WHO DO YOU CLING TO? Who sustains you? And who are you protecting.
So many questions, so little time π
Love, MP

Yes. I feel this way. I don’t feel good, but I’m eating stuff. Trying to be vegan is not working out right now. I got scared by the AMBER alert thing because I didn’t know what it was and all I wanted to do was sit in a blanket.
“Dear Human trying to convince Cancer: MEET THE SHELL.”
Hahaha!!!
I love your blog, Aliza. π
Oh thank you, Sofia <3
Definitely on edge but still feel generally hopeful with Jupiter getting closer to my sun at 7 degrees. Need to remember to sleep on it before I react!
YES!
I kissed a cancer firefighter once. He was out with his crew after work (amazingly ALL of them were cancers, save their Captain who was a sag). It was so spur of the moment (it was at a bar) and it was one of the best make out sessions I’ve ever had. Yes, I know, tacky out in the open like that, but hot damn if he is any indicator of how crabs kiss. It was also filled with teasing wit and laughter. Sigh. My Taurus sun just melted because of this gentle yet fierce soul. I think you are the underrated heart breakers out there. Maybe for those of us who are drawn to your innate sensitivity it’s addicting once you grace us with it.
It also hurts like hell when you crawl into your shell and scurry away. Now I want crab legs. Yum. π
Yeah people hate that. Too bad π
Esp Taurus lol Taurus HATES THAT because they can’t control it, can’t fence it in. I don’t remember if you are Taurus but just FYI I’m not referring to you but other Taurus I know!!!
Totally. Cancers ARE the underrated heartbreakers and don’t realize it. Ah you are Taurus…
Maybe that fire “fighter” was actually a fire “starter” π hee tee hee *wink* *wink*
Totally. **Swoon**. Now every time I hear a fire engine (which in NYC is like ALL THE TIME) I am reminded of that drunken night of lust. The heat wave here is already driving me mad! π
I have Jupiter not only in my south node but in a 29 anarectic degree Taurus 11th house. I also have transiting Saturn conjunct my natal 3 degree Uranus in Scorpio 4th. My Ascendant is 13 degree Cancer with natal Pluto in 9 degree Libra 4th so I don’t know where safety is…
Jupiter on the SN: hmm that is interesting!
Came into this life with some serious luck. But looks like you aren’t supposed to depend on it!
Yes…it is very confusing. But doesn’t that Pluto in Libra 4th and Uranus on Scorpio 4th screw up my ability to do anything about it? Those are outside blocks, aren’t they? I jokingly describe it as being a newborn baby that is thrown out into the ocean and expected to deal with the shock of learning how to swim.
I don’t think I can answer that question without consulting your chart so I shall refrain from commenting but you sound like you know your astrology. What do YOU think it means. Do you think it screws things up irreprably (sp)
I think it means I have to learn how to swim before I drown π lol My entire chart is driven into Cancer 12th house where I have Eros, Vesta, and Pallas (all clustered right next to my Ascendant and waiting for the results of Pluto and Uranus to do their dirty work on my 4th house) . At first I thought Cancer 12th house was a victim placement or a family curse…but then, after much research, I realized there’s no such thing as a vindictive cosmos and everything has both positive and negative manifestations. Unfortunately, the only positive manifestation (which is tantric bliss %-) lol *hubba hubba*) can only be achieved through an extremely narrow pathway. In all likelihood I’ll fail and go insane from Pluto and Uranus…but (and the “but” is everything) there still is that ray of hope that I’ll swim instead of drowning; making it onto the other side into that tantric bliss (north node Scorpio 5th house). If it was easy everyone would be doing it, ya know? Our pesky egos don’t leave without a fight.
12th House is hard. But I think it depends what’s in there.
sometimes i feel so moony i’m like a cancer in disguise…with venus/mars/sn in 4th house i relate a lot to all of this safety talk. of course with capricorn i am always looking across the sea of the wheel at my fellow cancerians.
i feel that cancer maneuvers herself until she feels safe; capricorn envisions the safe place and starts constructing a way to obtain it. somehow that maneuvering seems less likely to produce obstacles, but i could be wrong.
Oooh very cool, Chrispito! Gotta think about that. Major food for thought you have shared here.
So excited for the class π I will try to be patient for the info π I just hope it will fit in my budget as I’m not only moving…but moving to the other side of the world!
Oh cool. Cool if you can join us. It is $100 but $90 for former/current clients. A wee discount. Details soon on Matthew’s blog and both our Facebook which I’ll then link to… Will do my post too of course. And promote every day until it begins… I remember your chart pretty well MASSIVE CAPRICORN LADY (not that you are massive. You know what I mean lol)
Haha yes of course I know what you mean π and I should be able to afford that! Yay!
Fingers crossed!
I am loving all these posts about Cancers and their emotional needs because they’re helping me understand my little boy (Cancer sun) so much better (he just turned 7, on the same day as your birthday, apparently! Happy belated birthday, Aliza!) Me, I tend to keep my emotions so bottled up that it’s been quite the learning experience dealing with a little one who just lets it all out in the moment. And who just NEEDS every ounce of security and reassurance I can give him.
I like the donut pic by the way…had one for breakfast π
Another July 9th π That’s awesome, Sonia π And THANK YOU for the birthday wishes. Yes, he definitely sounds like a Cancer! All NORMAL for a Cancer. Harder to be a boy Cancer I think because it is such a vulnerable feminine sign. You DO have your work cut out for you. In helping him become a man. If he has more masculine placmements in his chart, that will help but he will always have a squishy side. Good thing is, Cancer men can be very supportive loving partners – so he will make people happy and could be an excellent father! Good things π

OMG ~ so TRUE! :)))) A Cancer only brings her heart out of her shell when she TRUSTS its security!
‘LOVE this blog, Aliza! ~ I felt safe enough to share this on my FB wall! xoxox
Thank you, Daria π xoxo
