Too many apparently healthy people with strong planetary placements in Cancer, nevertheless often build their lives around their fears which fall under the radar except when such uncertainties seriously threaten their happiness and well-being. In relationships, the Cancer personality is caring, providing, good-humored, kind and affectionate, but an overwhelming fear of loss can make him/her possessive and over-bearing, as happens when the Cancer lover turns into the smothering mother!  This month, as the Sun transits through Cancer, we are all put to the test!

Fear is a chimera that can be conquered by the mind! To be subject to fear in Cancer is to lose, not through the onerous hand of fate, but due to a refusal to confront and conquer one’s fears. Happily, such maladies are more easily corrected than one would think.

As Cancer comes to a close (next Monday), pick a fear that has been hanging around your psyche too long. What habits have you built around it? What about the collective fear of the 2012 Mayan Prophecies? Remove it from the closet of your mind! Replace it with a positive thought, try this: “I know that perfect love casts out all fear. Today I will to be perfect love in action in me now!”
