Aromatic Stars – Cancer Sun Sign
The Cancer zodiac Sun 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. Cancer’s do live in a ‘shell’ of self, often
seeking sympathy from others. Looking at the world like a big eyed doe,
Cancerian’s 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 Cancerian’s
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 emotional. 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.
