According to Sandy

Tuesday, June 21, 2022 is special. Besides being the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, it also means the Sun has moved into Cancer, the Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac. This Water sign can make us emotional, moody, restless and sensitive, but regardless, “taking care”, of family and friends, is the priority.

Don’t let the “feelings” antennae wilt in the summer heat. Heightened awareness can provide useful information about people, places, and things. Pay attention to your instincts. However, if absorbing too much unsettling information from the universe, don’t over indulge in the wish that an extra scoop of Ben & Jerry’s or another spoonful of hot fudge on that banana split will make things better. Change the scenery. Change the mood. Know what is best for you – food, people, situations, etc. Lighten the load – let go of what doesn’t work.

Communication planet Mercury transits Cancer from 6 July to 19 July, 2022 – don’t be surprised if interactions are more emotionally revealing than usual. That can show up in what you write or speak, especially with those close to you.

No matter what your Sun sign,  take advantage of Cancer’s kind, protective and nurturing influences.  Use  all that “homey” energy  – enjoy the love along with the frozen yogurt. Create a comfort place. Make your Summer as great as you can!

(The year is half over – what are you going to do with what’s left?)

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads & Happy Juneteenth to all !

We can greet the Summer Solstice, on Sunday June 20, 2021, with a frozen, delicious treat under a large Sun hat.

Besides being the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, it also means the Sun has moved into the sign of Cancer, the Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac. This Water sign can make us more emotional, moody, restless and sensitive, but, family, friends, “taking care” is the comfort place. Regardless of Sun sign, we can still take advantage of Cancer’s kind, protective and nurturing influences.

Don’t let your sensitive antennae wilt in the summer heat. Heightened awareness can provide useful information about people, places, and things. Feel what you feel and pay attention to your instincts. However, if taking in too much unsettling information from the universe, don’t over indulge in the hope that an extra scoop of Ben & Jerry’s or another spoonful of hot fudge on that banana split will make things better. Change the scenery. Change the mood. Know what is best for you – food, people, situations, etc. Don’t be afraid to let go of what doesn’t work.

“Summer’s here and the time is right for dancin’ in the streets”.

On Friday, June 21, 2019, the Sun brought beach umbrellas, flip flops and frozen delicious treats as it moved into the Moon ruled, 4^th sign of the Zodiac – Cancer.

Along with the Cancer Sun, came the Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere) – our longest day of the year.

This nurturing, caring Water sign tends to be emotional, moody, restless and sensitive, but regardless, friends and family (real or created), will be an important focus. Your own personal Astrological sign might be different, but, you can still take advantage of Cancer’s warm & comfy influences.

Communication planet Mercury will be Retrograde in Cancer from 7/19 until 8/1/19 and remains until it continues Direct into Leo on 8/12. (The complete Backward transit lasts 7/7/19 to 7/31/19.) People may be testy and super sensitive, due to misunderstandings, missed cues, etc. so be careful with what you write or speak. Seemingly innocent interactions can start out great and then escalate into a hot mess – everyone winds up feeling “wounded”.

Hey! The year is already half over – what are you going to create during the rest of 2019?

Yes, the “livin’ is easy” as we greet the Summer Solstice, on Thursday June 21, 2018 with a frozen delicious treat sitting under a large Sun umbrella.

Besides being the longest day of the year, in the Northern Hemisphere, it also means the Sun has moved into the sign of Cancer, the Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac. This Water sign is emotional, moody, nurturing and concerned with home and family. (I think Cancers make good actors – all those deep, vibrating feelings can be released by playing out their secret selves on stage.) We will all be under this sign’s sensitive and caring influences.

Communication planet Mercury transits Cancer from 6/13 until 6/29/18 – people can be testy and super sensitive, so be careful with what you write or speak. Seemingly innocent interactions can start out great and then escalate into a hot mess – everyone winds up feeling “wounded”.

Let Cancer’s protective, sympathetic and kind “homey” energy take center stage. Use it well and enjoy the love along with the ice cream. Have a super Summer!

The Sun takes our flip flops, lemonade and cones into Cancer, the Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac, on Monday June 20, 2016. Along with the Cancer Sun, comes the Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere) – our longest day of the year. This sensitive Water sign may evoke moodiness, but regardless, friends and family (real or created), will always be an important focus. Your own personal Zodiac sign might be different, but, you can still take advantage of some of Cancer’s influences.

Don’t let your antennae wilt in the summer heat. Heightened awareness can provide useful information about people, places, things. Feel what you feel, pay attention to your instincts and if feeling a little blue, don’t over overindulge hoping that extra scoop of hot fudge will make things better. Change the scenery and the mood will probably change too eventually. Know what is best for you – with both food and people. As Cancer’s protective and sympathetic “homey” energy reigns, use it – enjoy the love along with the ice cream.

Communication planet Mercury transits Cancer from 6/30 until 7/14/16 – don’t be surprised if interactions are more emotionally revealing than usual. That can show up in what you write or speak, especially with family & friends.

Yes, the “livin’ is easy” as we greet the Summer Solstice, Saturday June 21, 2014. Besides being the longest day of the year, in the Northern Hemisphere, it also means the Sun has moved into the sign of Cancer, the Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac. This Water sign is emotional, moody, nurturing, concerned with home and family. I think Cancers make good actors – all those deep, vibrating feelings can be released by playing out their secret selves on stage. We will all be under this sign’s sensitive and caring influences until July 22, 2014.

Your own personal Sun sign might be different, but, you can still take advantage of some of Cancer’s influences by paying attention to your instincts or thoughts you can’t put into words. Don’t let the antennas wilt. Heightened awareness can provide useful information about people, places, things. At those times when dark moods prevail, don’t overeat while trying to make it better. That type of fix is always just temporary. Your frame of mind will change soon enough.

And, of course enjoy the homey, comfy company of family and friends with backyard or neighborhood pot luck events. Loving and feeding them ice cream is all part of the program. Fun stuff!

BTW: For Moon children (those w/ Cancer Sun or anyone w/ Cancer prominent in their birth charts – rising sign, Moon sign, etc), Jupiter, the planet of luck, big ideas, big dreams and abundance will be transiting your sign until July16, 2014. Keep your eyes open for opportunities that come your way. Make sure they’re authentic (the Brooklyn Bridge has already been sold many times) and enjoy the good times.

“Summer’s here and the time is right for dancin’ in the streets” Our Summer Solstice, Thursday June 20, 2013 (PDT), coincides with the Sun’s move into Water sign Cancer. This Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac will nurture us thru the longest day of the year. Cancers can be emotional, moody, restless and sensitive, but– will always take care. Family, real or created, is the focus. Just be careful about going overboard with eating urges and/or needing to be needed. Know what is best for you – with both food and people.  

Your own personal Sun sign might be different, but, you can still take advantage of the reigning Lunar Cancer influences for the next 4 weeks by paying attention to instincts or any feelings you can’t put into words. Don’t let the antennas wilt. Heightened awareness can provide useful information. And, of course enjoy the homey, comfy company of family and friends. Loving them and feeding them ice cream is all part of the program. Fun stuff!

BTW: For Moon children (those w/ Cancer Sun or anyone w/ Cancer prominent in their birth charts – rising sign, Moon sign, etc), Jupiter, the planet of luck, big ideas, big dreams and abundance begins a transit your sign on June 26, 2013 until July 15, 2014. Be alert, keep your eyes open for opportunities that come your way. Not all things will be as great as they appear, but many will be. Discard what can’t be used and handle the rest.

Yes, the “livin’ is easy” as we enjoy the Summer Solstice, Wednesday June 20, 2012. Besides being the longest day of the year, in the Northern Hemisphere, it also means the Sun has moved into the sign of Cancer, the Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac. This Water sign is emotional, sensitive, concerned with family, a powerful nurturer.  And, if they love you, they will feed you. We will all be under this sign’s caring influences for the next 4 weeks. Nice.

I think Cancers make good actors – all that deep, vibrating emotion and sensitivity can be released by playing out their secret selves on stage. However, feel what you feel, pay attention to your instincts, but, if you feel a little blue, don’t overeat while trying to make things better. The mood will change soon enough. As Moon and Cancer energy reigns, take advantage of all that “homey” energy, enjoy the love.

Summer Solstice June 20, 2012 – 1^st degree of Cancer, 7:09PM Eastern/ 4:09PM Pacific: a time for beach chairs, flip flops and lemonade – keep cool.

Our Summer Solstice, Tuesday June 21, 2011, coincides with the Sun’s swim into the Water sign of Cancer.  This Moon ruled 4^th sign of the Zodiac will nurture us thru the longest day of the year. Cancers can be emotional, moody, restless and sensitive, but– they will always take care. Family, real or created, is the primary focus. (Crustacean shell with marshmallow interior.) Just be careful about going overboard with comfort eating and/or needing to be needed. Know what is best for you – with both food and people.

Those of us with  a different Sun sign, can still take advantage of the reigning Lunar Cancer influences by paying attention to instincts or any feelings that can’t be put into words. Don’t let the antennas wilt with the heat. Heightened awareness can provide useful information. And, of course enjoy the homey, comfy company of family and friends. Loving them and feeding them ice cream is all part of the program. Fun stuff!

Summer Solstice, in the Northern Hemisphere, 1st degrees of Cancer, 1:17PM Eastern/ 10:17AM Pacific, heralds a time of beach chairs, espadrilles and lemonade (or just sweating in the city). The year is half over – what are you going to do with what’s left?

*Cancer: Gemstone – Emerald / Power colors- silver, pale gray

On 6/21/10, the Sun takes beach umbrella and flip flops into the Moon ruled sign of Cancer. Along with the Cancer Sun comes the longest day of the year – Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere).

This Water sign is emotional, sensitive, concerned with family, moody, restless, a powerful nurturer – they will take care.  And especially, if they love you, they will feed you.

Cancers may overeat when unhappy. Be hard to get to know – they will hide in their shells. Need to be needed – even if those tended to are not the best for them.

(I think Cancers make good actors – all that deep, vibrating emotion, sensitivity, reacting. Can be released by acting out their secret selves on stage.)

For all other signs, while this Moon and Cancer energy reigns, take advantage of all the ‘home” energy, pay attention to your instincts, enjoy the love.
