Astrology

As you strive to become a better individual, it’s important to always do your own research and find a variety of ways that will help you reach goals of awareness, self-acceptance and self-love and peace. There are a lot of self-help books to read and then, there’s astrology.

I have always found astrology interesting. When I say “astrology” I don’t mean the daily mini-horoscopes. Those daily horoscopes do make for a positive boost, but astrology goes more in depth.

Astrology relates to the study of our emotions, behaviors and our surroundings.

Familiarizing yourself with astrology can take you beyond what you can just learn about yourself. It also relates to what we can learn about others. I usually like to read beyond my own astrological sign. By doing that, I gain more awareness and valuable information to understanding myself and others.

Who are you? Get to know “you”

As you begin your journey of knowing yourself better, learning about your emotions and overall, becoming a better individual, you start your search.

You might look up articles or videos, read self-help books, seek religion, and even book an appointment with a proper doctor.

Understanding yourself [your behaviors, emotions] is not an easy task, therefore, DO cast a net so wide, that allows for you to grow, discover and know yourself in many ways rather than one. Read that motivating book, watch that inspiring video. All is essential.

How can astrology help?

Astrology is simply another avenue that can help us understand human nature and emotions. It is a pseudoscience that can help you live your best life.

Learning about your behavior and emotions allows you to let go of habits that are keeping you back and in a poor mental state. Awareness is the key to freedom and paves the way to a healthier, happy lifestyle.

Astrology is simply another avenue that can help us understand human nature and emotions. It is a pseudoscience that can

• help us figure out why we feel the way we often do;
• help us how to cope with the surprises, ups and downs of life; and
• teach us how to understand ourselves and those around us.

As the great Socrates said,

“To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.”

Socrates

In order to understand others, we must first understand ourselves. We must ask ourselves tough questions and seek inside of us the truth. We must recognize and be honest about the things we need to change in ourselves to live a better, peaceful and happier life.

Understanding Cancer

The following will help you, a Cancer, understand yourself.

Additionally, if your sign is not Cancer, the following will help you better understand a fellow Cancer friend or loved one; or it can simply give you advice and wisdom.

And Cancer said: “I feel”

Mantra: I am whole, forgiving and understanding.

Color: Feel energized and complete when you need it the most by wearing the color silver. Silver is light. Wear your jewelry and silver-colored clothes.

Luck Day: Monday. It’s the first day of the week in many places of the world. For most, it’s the beginning of the work week. Monday has this bad stigma attached to it. It’s time to do away with that kind of thinking. Whether you work on Mondays or not, it’s time to start anew. Muster up as much mental strength as you can and start your Monday strong.

More Cancer

Places to Visit: Out of all the places in the world, the following will really capture a Cancer’s mind and heart. Croatia is first on your list. Take a walk through the open, narrow cobblestone streets. Be adventurous and take a solo trip to the islands and meditate. Feel present!

Next on your list are: New Zealand, Rwanda, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Scotland

There are also cities to learn about and even visit. Tokyo, Amsterdam, Manchester, Stockholm, Venice.

Holidays: Take a week-action. Even if it is staying home for the week. Take the time to appreciate the small things in life. Make some time for relaxation and gratitude. Be aware of your surroundings. It is a place that feels like home. Avoid the hustle and bustle through an airport.

Or if you decide on taking a trip somewhere like Croatia. Rent a place instead of staying in a hotel. You’ll have that feeling of home away from home.

Food: It’s time to dust off the cookbooks on your shelf and actually start creating and tasting. A Cancer has an innate appreciation for preparing food. Get your hands dirty and see how great of a cook you are! Avoid frozen meals or home delivery.

This is also the best way a Cancer shows love— making delicious food creations for loved ones.

Flower:

The beautiful white rose. Jasmine flowers too. Both are fragrant and remind the beholder of the present. Grow some roses or jasmine flowers and see how they bring light into your home and life. (Hint: White roses and the morning glory flower also make great gifts for a Cancer!)

Pet: As a Cancer you are naturally prone to nurture. Therefore, if you already have a pet, cool. But if you feel you have space for a new creature, or if you were thinking about welcoming a new pet into your home, give a turtle a chance. Remember that a turtle and an aquarium require a lot of care. Do think about that responsibility.

Parties: As a Cancer you are more likely to really value a gathering if it consists of close friends and a potluck of homemade dishes. If possible, plan this get-together in your own home where you are most yourself.

Character

The following are characteristics. Some qualities will either build you up or take you back a few step depending on the circumstances.

☻ Loyal, kind, sympathetic. A Cancer can appear to be a little crabby, much like the zodiac symbol of a crab. But beyond the pincers and behind the tough shell there is a soft interior. Get in tune with that side of yourself.

☹ Moody, secretive. Withholding of feelings and information instead of talking or feeling what is happening inside. Process emotions do not reject them otherwise they can take control of your life.
