Planets in Your Horoscope: Sun in Cancer on June 21, 2007
May 26th, 2007 at 5:47 am (Planets and Signs in Astrology)
The Sun enters the sign of Cancer, and summer officially begins. Cancer is one of the Cardinal signs of the zodiac, because it starts the season (all Cardinal signs begin their respective seasons).
The Sun is Peregrine throughout Cancer, meaning it has no dignity or strength in that sign. If you’re planning solar activities, or the Sun rules an important house in your natal horoscope, you will want to wait until the Sun enters the sign of Leo, at the end of July. Some examples of the Sun-ruled activities and things are as follows: anything to do with royalty, food, all superiors in any setting, honors, gold, and fathers. If the Sun rules a house with different meanings in your chart, this would take precedence over the natural rulerships listed above.
During its passage through Cancer, the Sun will conjoin Mercury on June 28, which will give us a few hours of the respite from the effects of retrograde Mercury. This is because the conjunction of the Sun and Mercury will cause Mercury to temporarily enter the state of cazimi, which is considered extremely beneficial for a planet. The Sun will not make any major aspects to other classical planets, except for the Moon.
Since Cancer begins the summer, stay tuned for a weather prediction for the American West for the upcoming season.

Hi again, Nina!
I posted this on an older post at the beginning of the month, but I thought I’d post it here. I just had a quick question. I noticed in other posts where you say that a planet in another’s exaltation, exalts that planet (i.e. Sun in Cancer exalts Jupiter). How does that flavor the interpretation in the natal chart? Would Sun support Jupiter in ruling his houses? Would Jupiter have some sort of rule over Sun and his houses? I think this is very interesting and something I’ve never run across.

Dear Jason,
I meant to reply, and then I just plain dropped the ball, so my apologies for that.
This is quite a lengthy topic, especially as applied in the natal context. To get you started thinking about this, let’s say that Jupiter rules your second house of wealth and the Sun rules the tenth of career. Say the Sun is in Cancer, exalting Jupiter. A very simplistic (but accurate) way of looking at it would be to say: your career (the Sun) is heavily influenced by (exaltation) the amount of money you will make (Jupiter). So you would be someone whose career choice would be intensely influenced by the financial rewards.
I recommend reading John Frawley’s Real Astrology books, and also Morinus, to really wrap your brain around this concept. It’s a very important notion in traditional astrology.
Warmly,
Nina
