1.31 CANCER DECAN
1.31 CANCER: Ruling Planet: the Moon
************************************
First Decan: June 21—July 2. Planets: the Moon and Venus
The influence of Mercury is already apparent in this period, which represents the cusp of Gemini and Cancer. But the Moon, itself, is doubly strong and is only partially swayed by the minor influence of Venus. It is a period of swift changes, and the stronger the element of Venus, the more radical they become. Sociability will swing to the extreme of suspicion. There is an urge for romance and adventure; but this may switch suddenly to self-sufficiency. People born at this time are very capable, but do so many things that they fail to recognize their own faults. They are very diplomatic, keeping much to themselves.
Second Decan: July3 – 12. Planets: Mars and Mercury
Mars gives a bold but willful manner to the indecision of this period. When action is taken, it is determined; but such persons can become stubborn on other points. They are also forceful when opposed. Hasty action may lead to gloomy spells, hence people born in this decan should curb the quick impulses of the Mercurian influence. The strength of Mars and
the skill of Mercury should be combined to balance the wavering moods of Luna.
Third Decan: July 13 – 22. Planets: Jupiter and the Moon
The influence of Jupiter is very strengthening in this period; and it needs to be, because the Moon is greatly increased in intensity. Jupiter supplies good judgment and steadiness to this otherwise fluctuating period and stirs the individual to action, when it is needed. Commercial success may come to many people of this decay, provided they are not too swayed by the vacillating lunar influence. Otherwise, they will become egotistical and talkative, too concerned with trifles to accomplish great things.
