WHETHER YOU ARE a Celestial Crab by birth, have your Moon, Ascendant or ruling planet in this sign or have a ‘loaded’ Fourth House in your chart, Cancer is the sign associated with the start of summer in the northern hemisphere and the mythic marker for how, like E.T. we all need to be able to go home at some time in our journey. For all of us, life takes on a stronger, emotional yearning. From June 21 until July 22, we all get a chance to experience the Cancer force as it brings more direct and urgent needs to the surface. Somewhere in your daily life you will feel this force because everybody has “Cancer” somewhere in their astrological chart and when the Sun – our solar star, lights up this sector – you too light up and can partake in the heavenly dance of domesticity and maternal tendencies. Even if you are not a Cancer by birth date, take a test drive on some of the qualities and suggestions below if you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a Cosmic Crab.

BIRTHDAY WISDOM
JUNE 2010 – JULY 2011

Since September 2009 the beauty and audacity of your life should have come into complete bloom. And since you are a work in progress, the coming year is all about taking the theme of revolution deep into your soul and moving forward solidly to create strength. You're getting ready for a miraculous April, May and June of 2011.
*
23 June
Look back to October and November 2009 to appreciate the phenomenal shifts that have set you on your current path. The energy in play wants you to continue to explore options and to work with big patterns and issues both internally and externally where you can showcase your willpower to effect change for those who work for a living.
*
24 June
Big plans require an expanded vision of what your life is all about and for those work plans that are now being developed, you'll need to find your faith in yourself if you want to take advantage of the tremendous waves of opportunity that are coming in early 2011 to launch you anew. Foreign 'everything' will be your guide.
*
25 June
It's going to be important to learn how to take your nervous temperature as internal pressures are building up quite a force field within. There's always a strong desire to cut yourself off from others when this happens. Focus on journeys, education, and creating vibrant new work environments that give you more space and freedom.
*
26 June
It's a thriller of a year that can turn your life upside down so exciting are the possibilities. If you've wanted to blow through your inhibitions and be the person you've always wanted to be, then this is your year. Karmic implications are everywhere and check back 8 years to see how you got to this place in time. Enjoy your freedom
*
27 June
Until October you need to fulfull one and only one function: eliminate everything in your life that isn't working or that isn't serving your highest purpose. You need to do this to position yourself for the deep healing and transformation that is coming after January 2011. Focus on family patterns might extend the possibilities.
*
28 June
My take on your stars for the coming year is to take every day in stride and focus on 24 hours at a time. I don't think you'll be able to make plans too far in advance as it's just that kind of year. You're tied into the mindset of the mass media along with how your personal vision sustains you. You're brilliant and you need to work it for all it's worth.
*
29 June
You're at a place in your life where idealism, love for yourself and others along with a proven ability to articulate what it is that rocks your world is all coming together. Passion and depth of committment work together to attract an amazing relationship where friendship and fantasy merge into the great mystery of soul communion.
*
30 June
It's a year to take your humanitarian and artistic urges seriously but in a way that allows you a playful hand in the orchestration of your passions and concerns. Another major theme you'll be feeling throughout the year is how you relate to your mother, mothering/parental issues and your present relationship to the matriach of the family.
*
1 July
You're going to feel like an old soul in the coming year as the earth and all of her aches and pains weighs heavy on your heart. Turning to music, art, other cultures and their philosophies will help ease the pain as will personal journeys of exploration and the world of academia. It's also a time to share what you've learned with others so don't go it alone.
*
2 July
There hasn't been a year like this since 1991-1992 when you were first introduced to the theme of what it is that makes your life worth living. Whatever you touched into in the early '90s is cause for celebration and now you've got a huge chance to refine and continue on with what you may have started back then. You'll have fun if you follow your fabulous intuition.
*
3 July
It's a year of steady progress and will be exceptional in the area of your career and ambitions. But before leaping ahead take a moment for reflection and harken back to December 1991 and January 1992 where you came to a crossroads in your life. You seem to be there again but this time you're armed with incredible personal vision for where you need to go.
*
4 July
You may not like what you're going to have to deal with in the coming year as it all seems to fall back on the changes that you know must be made. To help move matters along, the aphorism that comes to mind is "Be the change." Start with yourself and then move outward and you'll soon find a lot of the resistance on the outside clearing as you prioritize from within.
*
5 July
Friends, networks and the social and familial framework of your life are all coming together in a glorious symphony of support from which sudden and lucky breaks are sure to emerge in the coming 4 seasons. Spurred on by success in these areas, you might want to start to develop more long-range investment goals for yourself and your community.
*
6 July
You have great powers of concentration and this year brings out your quiet, reflective qualities that will steady and strengthen your often changeable and erratic tendencies. This is a year for passionate romance that grows if you let it build slowly but surely. This is a more conservative yet sensual year with heightened personal magnetism.
*
7 July
It's raining money and quite possibly men but it certainly requires a stroll out into the rain to experience the downpour. Let your love light shine and be open to lots of light and casual contact because beneath all that levity lies life times of connection. A soul mate or serious partnership is in the stars and you need to be open to the lessons that it brings.
*
8 July
You're tying up loose ends all year. If you're over the age of 28 it will feel like second nature, if under 28 you'll tend to retreat more as you lick your wounds and prepare for the next round. The silver lining in the clouds is your ability to passionately feel your feelings and express them. Eloquence is the gift you're being given so use it to clear your space and help others learn.
*
9 July
It's an action packed new style you get to launch as your confidence grows steadier by the day thanks to recent developments and success in educational endeavours. Your mind is capable of creating phenomenal frameworks from which you can build a brand new future for yourself and now you know this is absolutely true.
*
10 July
You are future orientated so don't be alarmed if you need to toss out old papers along with friendships that no longer serve your emerging new value system. There is a calmness and greater sense of security about you that will help you move through the cracks and strains of change that accompanies the year ahead.
*
11 July
This year is shaping up to be one of the most transformational fun and love years ever what with your growing sense of jovial good naturedness driven by a more natural and earthy charisma. It's time to take up those hobbies, joys, and creative delights and express yourself. If you do all that happiness adds up to more wellness, wiseness and wealth.
*
12 July
You're learning about power and how to organize yourself and others. This is an amazing year from which you will be laying down a foundation for brilliant success and achievement in the coming decade all which is based on how well you navigate the intellectual waters and capitalize on your intellectual coin. Friends and family are your true allies as they know your heart.

13 July
Action is your element as nothing can resist the emotional impact that you carry in the coming weeks and months. The mission that you now must undertake is setting the stage for the huge achievements that are coming in the next 4 years which are being predicated on what you start building in the next 365 days. Go for knowledge.
*
14 July
It's time you started believing all the wonderful press that you've earned over the last decade as there's lots more coming. Take it all in as you need to fill up your own tank before the giving can freely flow. The year ahead is a lovely balance of spiritual pursuits fired and fueled by a passion for getting the word out as to what accountability is all about.
*
15 July
This year finds you blessed with a rare combination of psychic truth and hardheaded realism. It's shaping up to be a magical mystery tour and the clues will be strewn about everywhere. You won't have to journey far to solve your immediate concerns. Notice what's occurring in your local environment and go from there. What you'll need is right at your fingertips.
*
16 July
It's a harvest cycle year which pulls together all the major chords and themes from the past 8 years. Don't be surprised at what you reap because for good or bad, the plant is ready to bear fruit. What should be obvious is that you've come to the end of a way of thinking and a new door is opening which offers more freedom and self expression.
*
17 July
The year ahead is for pulling it all together and where you are really going to feel a sense of completion will be in the area of relationships and how you deal with your public image. Take heart and learn from all the trials and tribulations of the past decade and make every attempt to pay off your karmic debts so that nothing but joy follows you into the coming decade.
*
18 July
You'll be taking great leaps of imagination in the coming weeks and months as your natural intuitive personality gets a huge boost of confidence, energy and drive from a stronger, more balanced intellectual approach. Advancement and career opportunities are flooding in and you need to discern the path that will be most fulfilling based on evolutionary concerns.
*
19 July
Love and indeed passion are on the cosmic menu in the forthcoming banquet which is being served up with heaping platters of energy and creativity for starters. You carry a true gift for turning a dream into reality once you set your mind, heart and soul to the task at hand. The deep mysteries of relationship are there for the tasting.
*
20 July
If you're under 28 you'll feel an extraordinary zeal and passion for your chosen career or soon to choose life path while those over 28 will find their focus straight forward and fixed on having their relationship blossom into its full splendour and glory. Both groups need to learn how to balance the brake pedal with the gas as it's harder than it looks.
*
21 July
Optimism and expansion are two nouns that you are going to get a handle on from the inside out as your emotional and imaginative personality is galvanized by the energy and philosophical vision of this year's charter. You could be successful as an artist or writer as working from home or a new base of operations is a perfect fit.
*
22 July
Trust your feelings for they are your greatest source of power. To this I would add that you trust in a future that unfolds radical new dimensions of self and all the implications that it will bring to your career. This is the beginning of a meteoric 5 year ride that will showcase your uniqueness. Kick it all off with a much longed for trip or journey.
