WESTERN
Western Astrology has originating roots at least as far back as Babylonia and is historically
based on Ptolemy’s work, the “Tetrabiblos”, from the 2nd century. This system of assessing
the cosmos has been practiced for thousands of years in Arabia and Europe. Western
Astrology uses the “tropical” ecliptic coordinate system, and thus the constellations are
based on the path of the Sun as seen from Earth. The constellation where the Sun was
located at your birth conveys the encodings that drive your will and personality.

The Basics
Cancer is the fourth sign of the 12-sign 360º Zodiac
(the band of constellations as seen from earth).
Thus, Cancer represents the fourth stage or cycle
of life: it is here to delve into the interior realms of
roots, family, home and emotions.
Cancer is one of four signs that is “cardinal” in
nature (not “mutable” or “fixed”): thus, you as
Cancer embody cardinal functionality.
Cancer is one of three signs that imbues the qualities of the element of “water”: thus, you as
Cancer embody the characteristics of water.
About your Cardinal nature: “As the "scout signs" which generate the seasons, cardinal signs
govern creativity. These signs are restless, active, self-motivated, ambitious, and they often are the
leaders in their communities. They can be a bit domineering, but that comes part and parcel with
their best qualities of being enterprising, independent, creative, spontaneous and forceful.”
About your Cancer encoding: “Cancer's role is to
actively explore the entire realm of human emotion.
That Cancer is both Cardinal and Water motivates this
sign to explore new emotional states and experiences.
As a Water sign, Cancer is the most subtle of the
Cardinal signs when expressing his independence and
ambition. But don't be fooled--those qualities are just
as powerful within Cancer as in the other Cardinal
signs, no matter how gentle a Cancer outwardly
appears. Astrologers often describe Cancer as
moody, which can be true at times, but that
description oversimplifies Cancers' rich textural nature
and their ability to accept, initiate or even embrace
change when they feel it is necessary. They have a
capacity for sympathy and compassion that is
unmatched by any other sign except fellow water
sign Pisces. Cancers have a wide emotional spectrum, and they generally experience an inner life
that combines higher highs and lower lows than the rest of us.”

Ruled by the moon, Cancer is the embodiment of the Divine Feminine. You as Cancer are
here to connect, utilize, foster, validate and manifest the important inner depths of
emotion, compassion and nurturing.
Cancer Affirmation from Astrologer Elizabeth Jones
I open to my deep bonds with Life.
I connect deeply with Mother God and welcome Her nurturing and healing love deep
into my being.
I claim my Spiritual heritage.
I am always Home when I connect within.
When the whole of these qualities and patterns are recognized, accepted and allowed to
express and evolve naturally, you are optimally aligned with your intrinsic authentic
nature. This is when maturation will emerge and you will be able to
shine your light with ease.
