SUN INTO CANCER JULY 16-AUGUST 16TH-START OF THE SIX MONTH SPIRITUAL GROWTH PERIOD

Sun in Cancer: July 16th – August 16th

The Sun will enter Cancer at approximately 2AM EDT on Tuesday, July 16th. Cancer is the natural house of support for home and “family”. The transitional period from 29.20 to 0.40 is considered an inauspicious time to start new projects and will last from 1PM to 8:25PM EDT on July 15th. Also, the early degrees of Cancer will continue until 18:05PM on Tuesday.

The Vedic calendar is divided into two six-month periods. Makara Sankranti marks the first crescent moon in the northern hemisphere and is known as Uttarayana. The Sun’s entry into Capricorn marks the beginning of a six-month business year, a time when new businesses can be started and expanded. The Sun’s entry into Cancer is called Dakshinayana, as the Sun moves south of the equator for six months, shortening the days and lengthening the nights. This period is considered more auspicious for spiritual practice and growth, and the auspicious full moon after this passage brings about the Guru Purnima holiday on July 21 this year, to celebrate gurus and teachers and immerse ourselves in the richness of the guru’s heart.

The Sun in Cancer is unaffected this year, as there are no major aspects from harmful factors during the transit. Only the opposition of Pluto on July 23rd may be felt. This transit can lead to intense encounters with others, so be careful with whom you pick fights. Don’t be overly domineering and indulge your ego to get your way. This can lead to the breakdown of relationships. Use your energy to change difficult relationships. Sunday, July 21st, ruled by the Sun, may be the most likely time to realize this energy.

If your Sun is in Cancer, there are no influences in your chart, and your birthday falls between July 16th and August 16th^Numberyou like to follow advice, have a good memory, are sensitive and thrifty, have good intuition, and enjoy travel and family. Some of this energy may be present during the transit. You may be drawn to activities that involve raising children, you like service to your community and family, and maternal energy may be present in leadership. You may also be drawn to living near water or enjoying water sports. Professionally, you may be interested in working in real estate, home sales, agriculture, the water or beverage industry, or becoming a counselor or child specialist.

The Sun will be in Pushya Nakshatra (3.20-16.40 Cancer) from July 19 to August 2, a sign ruled by Brihaspati, the priest of the gods and deeply associated with Vedic rituals and religion. He has a tendency to bestow good luck and wealth on others and children, and loves spiritual teachings. The Sun will not do well in this sign ruled by Saturn, as you may get caught up in materialistic desires, diverting you from your mission of self-realization and losing your spark. This month is a good reminder to take up spiritual practices and stay focused on your spiritual goals.

From August 2nd to August 16th, the Sun will be in Ashlesha Nakshatra (16.40-29.59 Cancer).^Number The nakshatra is ruled by Nagas or serpents who have occult powers and is associated with Lord Vishnu. The precepts of this nakshatra include following the words of the Guru and keeping the purity of the teachings. As the nakshatra is associated with spiritual wisdom, it can foster deep spiritual experiences during its transit. People born with Sun in this sign may have issues with their father, struggle to be good friends and settle in married life. They may be drawn to astrology and good at predicting the future. This sign is ruled by Mercury, which can bring great intellectual curiosity to people born under this sign. If Mercury is weak, they should be careful about gossiping and talking too much or putting others down with harsh words.

The transit ends on August 14-16 with Cancer Gundanta (27-30 Cancer) in Hydra (Ashlesha, 16.40-29.59 Cancer), where toxins from the past have accumulated and become a big knot that is difficult to untie. Deep unconscious patterns and difficult issues arise, and it can seem daunting and full of regrets. Remember that you have the power of free will in this moment and can move forward into the new light. You don’t have to live in the shadows and mistakes of the past. Let them go. Although they seem tangled and difficult to deal with, you are strong enough to move through them.

For Leo rising sign, Cancer is 12^Number As this house transits for Leo, expenses and deep subconscious feelings may be healed, and this transit is more difficult for those with Leo rising or Leo Sun. Outer ambitions may be frustrated, so this may be a good month to attend meditation retreats and do inner work. There is little negative impact on the Sun, so a trip abroad may be fruitful. Pisces rising will enjoy this transit the most as it is a fifth house transit where spiritual rituals and practices come to fruition. Also, Scorpio rising will be drawn to spiritual pilgrimages and going to temples.
