We once again find ourselves in the month of our nation’s birth. July 4, 1776, is generally thought to be the proper astrology chart for the United States.

Cancer is the Sun sign for July, the month of our country’s birthday. America definitely has a Cancer personality; caring, leadership, and nurturing but also a bit vague in our motivations and ultimate goals. The totem for Cancer, after all, is the crab. Ever watch crabs on the beach? They don’t move forward, they side-step. July 4, 1776, has not one, two, or three planets in Cancer, but four (out of the ten). This makes it hard for us to deal with our issues in a forthright manner. We tend to hint at the possibilities, draw circles around our problems and kick the can down the road.

With Cancer’s personality, it is important to look beyond the obvious for resolutions and truth. Not all the right answers can be found in what we are told by others; we need to also question the narrative. The Constitution’s first amendment, that of free speech, should be furiously defended.

As we are still working with the active energies of the Full Moon on the 3rd, the middle of the month may see a definite drop in busyness as the New Moon occurs at 2:32 PM EDT on the 17th. The end of the month will see a return to activity as another Full Moon will occur on August 1st.
