The Cancer zodiac sign pops into play June 21 to July 22. No surprise the Cancer symbol is “The Crab” with its defensive ways, multi-moods and unpredictability. But it’s not all bad for the Cancer Crab, for we will learn that deep down underneath the hard coated ‘shell’ of theirs is a nurturing, sensitive, dependable and sympathetic soul. This Cardinal Water sign, ruled by the planet Moon, has emotions shouting out in all directions. Water element signs are naturally sensitive and personable, while Cardinal signs are action oriented but often too impulsive and reactive. The feminine mothering energy of the Moon magnifies feelings and nurturing mother quality. Cancers do live in a ‘shell’ of self, often seeking sympathy from others. Looking at the world like a big eyed doe, Cancerians often live in their own feelings never taking notice of how self-centered they are. Unlike the direct Gemini Twin who lives life with their mind and their blunt communication, the indirect sidestepping Cancer lives through feelings, which means we are at the mercy of their moods making interaction with them, at times, exhausting. Many Cancerians are intuitive and are sensitive to the energies and vibrations around them which can add to the mood swings. For a Cancer sign, their home is very important to them. They hold a family together and care for everyone’s needs – as long as it is done their way. A Cancer’s love and commitment is loyal. But they often tend to worry about things big and small, such as food; but they will always manage to gather a nice stockpile using their penny pinching ways. The best way for a Cancer Crab to turn their frown upside down is with the fresh, lively aroma of Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) essential oil. This wonderful oil is great for reducing stress, moodiness and tension. It is uplifting yet calming at the same time, pushing away the negativity. Mandarin’s scent is sweet which makes it a popular aroma with children. The Cancer Sun sign needs to keep a bottle of Mandarin handy to ease anxiety, soothe their inner child and create a positive vibe within their soul. Petitgrain (Citrus aurantium) essential oil is balancing and revitalizing. The vibration is harmonious, strong, stable and confident, all of which a Cancer sign can use a little help in, wouldn’t you say? The oil comes from steam distilling the leaves of the bitter orange tree where the leaves and fruit are small, making it ‘vulnerable’ much like a Cancer who takes things a little too emotionally. This oil has a warm, sweet, yet somewhat, woody aroma. A support of encouraging self-belief and poise can be found within the aroma of Petitgrain. Fun Fact: Ernest Hemingway was a Cancer.
