Okay so I’m a Cancer Sun Mercury and Mars and I’m going to be working with my own Sun sign metaphors in this post but I also want to encourage you to find your own. It’s important. Because you need to reckon with your Sun.
Do you ever get excited to go food shopping? I was writing on this post here about my dislike for shopping in general, for the energy of pumped up materialism and commerce but I love love love food shopping even though I’ve entered Low-Carb-Land and have fewer options these days. Food is less of a focus for me. Actually, that’s not true. It’s that the focus has changed.
Women, food, the body: you know, I wish I could take y’all, my sweet handful of loyal readers and commenters to the store with me today because it will be the highpoint of my day, besides whatever astrology work and writing I have to do. We could buy just the right foods for everyone’s diet, go home, and have a party with great conversation. And maybe that’s what this blog can become, that kind of space: warm, comforting, a communal kitchen.
I never was much of a mother in my earlier years, although some may disagree. I mean, I think I always took care of people or knew what to say during hard times or… Here’s a memory: my mother calling me on the phone, I’m in my early 20s, and she has some news to share which has royally shocked my grandparents and she’s telling me that I should talk to them, that I could make it better somehow. This surpised me. And yet somewhere inside I recognized myself in what she was saying.
See? The reckoning. You must reckon with your Sun, with what your Sun means. Surely you have memories too of such moments, moments where you shine, moments where you are needed (another fine Cancerian keyword).
And as I wrote on that post, I think I’m growing into it. I don’t have kids of my own and I’ve taken care of animals, my own and others’ for almost ten years. Those relationships are deep. Animal people know what I’m talking about, and I know that there are some dog vs cat people out there but no one, absolutely no one can tell me that my relationships with the cats aren’t as deep. In fact, that’s ALL they are capable of. Besides napping and eating and playing and grooming, of course 😉 They connect deeply to their people. They communicate deeply.
So your Sun is who you are, it’s your first self, your essence. If the Moon is your personality and the Rising sign is your body, then the Sun is truly your Soul, is truly why you are here. Cancer, me, needs to take care. What do you need to do?Â
Tell us in the comments who you are. We would love to know!

I love how your posts make me think about my own chart instead of just telling me. It’s great practice! For my Capricorn sun conjunct Uranus in the 11th I need to help people grow, but sometimes I shock them into growth. I think I tend to be the ‘rock’ for a lot of my friends even when I’m off galavanting. With Pluto transiting this conjunction its helping me connect with my natal Pluto in Scorpio in the 8th. I learning how to inspire growth that heals 🙂
Damn I responded to this but it didn’t show up. I was thanking you for your feedback – esp because sometimes I feel crappy that this is not a “teaching” blog but more an “experience” blog to get others to think about their lives and charts. It’s more in readings that I “teach” if that is what is called for – So THANK YOU for enjoying the way I do what I do 🙂 And I’m glad you are bringing up the old posts! That is awesome 🙂
Hi miss crabbycakes! From Dark Cloud of Gloom (my daughter calls me that!! or the affectionate, “grumpy”).
Cancer Sun, and I gotta tell ya this restrictive diet I’m on for food allergies is indeed creating doom and gloom!
Oh yes I’ll drive for a friend…Venus in Aries in the 11th
Hi! Jupiter in Cancer will go food shopping with ya.
Excellent 🙂 Maybe you can help drive the cart! Gem 🙂
I’m here to communicate the joys of shiny things! 😉 Plus adapt to whatever the day brings.
Hi Tam!
..whoops. “..spill that joy to make for full bellies.”
I agree, this is a kitchen! I’ll be on dessert 🙂
Of the few things I know, these are certain; I’m here to inform the world, take pictures of it and be food. (That last bit has been gnawing at me these last couple years..a sorta-foodie without a farm is just sad. I’m through paying for what really should be free.)
I want to the milk the earth till she says stop and spill that joy into full bellies.
My 7th house Libra moon aches for balance while a 6th/Libra Mars says lets fight with (it’s square to) my Aries rising. 9th house Sag sun sits there with her new catch-phrase, “Relax..” with an old one, “..it happens.” Philosophical resignation wins again.
p.s. these posts are so perfectly puncuated by wonderful pictures. Thank you for the visual, spiritual and emotional feast!
Thank you for joining me, EW!
I’ll be back to respond more later… 🙂
EW, what a lovely fire/air chart you have 🙂 Thank you for visiting and commenting 🙂
