Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole astrology thing, and I wanted to figure out what my Aquarius Sun and Cancer Ascendant really means for me, you know, on a practical level. Not just reading descriptions, but living it.
First, I started by just observing myself. Like, really paying attention to my reactions and tendencies. I noticed I’m super independent and love doing my own thing (Aquarius, duh!), but at the same time, I crave that cozy, homey feeling and get really attached to people and places (hello, Cancer!).
It was kinda confusing at first. I’d be all excited about some crazy new idea or project, wanting to change the world and all that, then suddenly I’d just want to curl up on the couch with a blanket and watch old movies. So, I decided to embrace both sides.
My Little Experiment
- Week 1: Total Aquarius mode. I joined a new online group about sustainable living (something totally random and “out there” for me), and I started brainstorming ideas for a blog. I even tried to learn a new coding language, just for fun.
- Week 2: Cancer time. I focused on making my apartment super comfy. I bought some fluffy pillows, cooked a big batch of my grandma’s soup recipe, and invited some close friends over for a game night. I just, like, nested.
The cool thing was, I realized it wasn’t about choosing one over the other. It’s about balance. I started scheduling my “Aquarius time” and my “Cancer time.” I’d dedicate a few days to exploring new things, connecting with people who share my weird interests, and working on my personal projects. Then, I’d give myself permission to just chill, recharge, and nurture my close relationships.
It’s still a work in progress, for sure. Some days I’m more Aquarius, some days I’m more Cancer. But I’m learning to listen to my inner rhythm and honor what I need in the moment. It’s like, I can be the quirky, independent rebel and the sensitive, home-loving soul. I’m both! And that’s pretty awesome, actually.
I also found that writing things down helped a LOT. Just simple stuff, like how I was feeling, what I was craving, what energized me, and what drained me. This journaling helped me to identify the patterns of my Sun and Ascendant more.
I am also trying to incorporate some creative practice into my Cancer time. Something that connects me to my feeling. I started to do water painting and drawing.
It’s an ongoing journey, my friend. I’ll keep you updated on my Astro-adventures as I improve!
