Cancer Zodiac Sign in Astrology – Meaning Explained (YouTube Video Transcript)

(00:00:00) Your YouTube transcript will appear here (00:00:00) all right so today we're going to talk (00:00:02) about cancer in astrology what does the (00:00:04) sign mean on that very basic level so (00:00:07) last time we talked about uh Gemini (00:00:10) which was the qualities of life that are (00:00:12) about uh learning inquisi you know (00:00:15) wanting to learn more about our external (00:00:16) environment wanting to share and (00:00:18) socialize very airy sort of quality so (00:00:21) once we come from that Airy perspective (00:00:23) the next progression in the uh wheel of (00:00:26) life is to then understand wait a minute (00:00:29) maybe there's an importance of our (00:00:30) emotional body maybe there's an (00:00:32) importance of our past of our roots of (00:00:34) the things that are really meaningful to (00:00:35) us and our soul in many ways so when (00:00:39) we're focused on these kinds of aspects (00:00:41) of life these emotional aspects certain (00:00:44) types of qualities come through and (00:00:45) these are the qualities that can be seen (00:00:47) uh through cancer so if you have a lot (00:00:49) of planets in cancer uh especially if (00:00:52) you have your sun or moon in cancer you (00:00:53) can see these qualities very prominent (00:00:55) in your experiences and your personality (00:00:57) uh but even if you don't have any (00:00:59) planets uh your house placements uh (00:01:01) whichever that is whichever hous is (00:01:03) associated with cancer will show you (00:01:05) where these qualities come through so uh (00:01:08) some of these qualities are things like (00:01:10) receptivity you know because when we're (00:01:12) really connected to our emotional body (00:01:14) we're really connected to the uh watery (00:01:17) aspects of life we're just naturally (00:01:19) more receptive and it's spiritual it's (00:01:21) psychic you know these kinds of things (00:01:23) so those kinds of qualities can (00:01:24) certainly come through it's also very (00:01:26) nurturing you know when we have that (00:01:30) understanding of what uh we really you (00:01:33) know enjoy but not so much enjoy like (00:01:36) Taurus but just have that protection of (00:01:38) you know we want to have that um bond (00:01:41) with you know because it's us in many (00:01:44) ways whether it's with an individual (00:01:46) whether it's with our family whether (00:01:47) it's with our home or whatever this (00:01:49) strong very nurturing and protective (00:01:51) quality comes through this sign and this (00:01:54) is very prominent too because if you (00:01:56) look at the um constellation it's a crab (00:01:59) right so crabs have that outer shell and (00:02:01) the very soft inside so it's a reminder (00:02:04) that we do have to protect those things (00:02:07) that are very personal to us that are (00:02:09) very soft and emotional you know and (00:02:11) that's a big quality of um of cancer (00:02:15) another one too is accepting and caring (00:02:17) you'll notice that cancer individuals (00:02:19) just have that natural tendency to be uh (00:02:21) accepting and caring and it's for that (00:02:23) same reason you know it's understanding (00:02:25) that there is this Foundation needed to (00:02:27) have a relationship it needs some sort (00:02:29) of emotional Foundation there you know (00:02:32) trust which is a big part of it um and (00:02:35) uh yeah very reflective you'll notice (00:02:37) the qualities of reflection are very (00:02:39) prominent in cancer also because we have (00:02:41) to understand um you know where we come (00:02:44) from and our past experiences in order (00:02:47) to understand more about our feelings (00:02:49) right because feelings are you know a (00:02:51) sort of uh building up of our past (00:02:53) experiences or a result of our past (00:02:55) experiences so cancerian energy is (00:02:57) always reflecting on the past whether (00:02:59) it's with within their own own life or (00:03:01) just in life in general through maybe (00:03:03) the collective um Evolution or maybe (00:03:05) with their family or their lineage or (00:03:07) whatever to understand where things are (00:03:09) today so reflection is a big part of it (00:03:13) so you can see this uh very prominent by (00:03:15) the fact that it's ruled by the moon and (00:03:17) it's also associated with the fourth (00:03:19) house which again is very much about (00:03:21) those foundations the bottom of the (00:03:22) chart um And in regards to the opposite (00:03:26) constellation uh Capricorn right (00:03:28) Capricorn opposite cancer is very much (00:03:31) about the future it's about productivity (00:03:33) it's about success it's about the more (00:03:36) detached perspectives on life in order (00:03:38) to achieve things so if you have a lot (00:03:41) of cancer energy a good way to balance (00:03:43) that out in fact is to uh see towards uh (00:03:47) your future to do things that are (00:03:48) productive or whatever that you feel (00:03:50) like are for the future oriented (00:03:52) energies because then it'll help balance (00:03:54) out that cancer and vice versa if you (00:03:56) have a lot of Capricorn in your chart (00:03:58) the cancerian qualities can really help (00:04:00) balance those out also now it is a (00:04:02) cardinal sign so it is about that tire (00:04:05) meeting the pavement and it's about (00:04:07) taking action it's very foundational you (00:04:09) know when we do have these qualities of (00:04:12) nurturing of caring then it creates a (00:04:15) stronger foundation in our life and (00:04:16) really with our character as a person (00:04:18) because again these are the uh (00:04:20) characteristics that come through and (00:04:23) like I said to it's very feminine in (00:04:25) nature too so it is a feminine sign all (00:04:27) right so that's cancer in a nutshell if (00:04:29) you guys have any questions questions (00:04:30) please let me know and I'll see you guys (00:04:32) next time
