Sun in Cancer in the Third House

Having your Sun in Cancer, you may appear gentle, kind, sympathetic, and a patient listener. Then someone asks for advice, and you turn cranky, snappish, and appear to be completely indifferent to anyone’s problems but your own. You may wallow in self-pity and complain endlessly about how mistreated you are by the world. Turn another page of the calendar and suddenly you are back to being helpful, solicitous, and ready to do anything asked of you. More than any other sign, Cancer is a series of contradictions. With your Sun in Cancer, you prize security above all else, yet love new adventure. You are the soul of caution but you’re also a courageous initiator who goes out of your way to push over obstacles with your driving personality.

Complex, fragile, unpredictable, temperamental, the typical Sun in Cancer individual needs constant support and encouragement. You want desperately to be loved and approved of but resent needing approval so badly. Cancer’s big lesson is to recognize the hidden anger you carry within you and not allow this to corrode the 人間関係 that give you the emotional support you seek. Happily, when you get what you need, you give the best you have in return. Those who make you feel secure command your undying loyalty. With your Sun in Cancer, when you really care for someone there is nothing anyone can say about that person that will make the least bit of difference. You have a real blind spot when it comes to seeing a failing in those you love.

With your Sun in Cancer, you tend to be a worrier and a silent brooder. People may pour out their hearts to you, but the flow never goes in the other direction. You are cautious about revealing too much of yourself; you guard your secrets well. If offended, you do not strike back directly. Your method of retaliation is to sulk, and it is often very effective.

Having your Sun in Cancer, beneath your tough exterior you are a sentimental softie who will make any sacrifice for someone in need. If someone asks for a favor, your first reaction will probably be no, but the final answer is always yes. With your Sun in Cancer, you should be judged not by what you say but by what you do. You are possessive. Anyone who becomes part of your life will never again be entirely free.

For the individual with their Sun in Cancer, once you overcome your shyness and touchiness and master your turbulent emotions, your intellect and imagination enable you to become a success in almost anything you undertake. You have the ability to dig into your own inner life and turn creativity into practical ideas. Contrary to the impression you often give, you can be shrewd and canny in business. Cautious, conservative in your approach, you possess an antenna that quickly gauges public taste and opinion and senses new trends in the making. You’re also an on-the-mark judge of people. With your Sun in Cancer, this instinct for business combined with imagination is magical for acquiring financial security, and Cancer is called a “money sign” because of its ability to attract wealth. Cancer people hold on to money as tenaciously as they do to everything that belongs to them. To you money spells security, yet no matter how much wealth you accumulate you never feel really secure. That is true of your emotional security also.

The Inner You with your Sun in Cancer

With your Sun in Cancer, on the surface you’re the picture of calm and strength, but underneath you tend to feel insecure and inadequate. You are positive that other people know what they’re doing while you’re just winging it. Harmony is important to you—any kind of conflict or quarrel leaves you feeling depressed. However, you’re definitely not wishy-washy; you have the courage of your convictions and the strength to stick up for what you think is right. You don’t welcome change, and are hesitant about going ahead with something untried, yet this doesn’t stop you from doing what has to be done.

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 3rd House

When your Sun is in the 3rd House, it is an extroverted placement for the Sun, but your energy tends to be limited to the immediate and the here-and-now. Your focus is usually on the environment that you can physically sense and on those relationships that are close at hand. You may wish to explore, discover and utilize your environment, however, there is so much to be seen and experienced right around you that you almost never have to go very far afield, emotionally or mentally, in order to become absorbed in what is going on around you.

 With the Sun in the 3rd House, your awareness and self-awareness shines brightly and directly so that you see and experience the world in all its detail. The task before you, therefore – the task in which your Being is absorbed – is to know your world through your experiencing it. Knowing it, you begin to take control of it and having taken control of it, it becomes benign and useful. All the while, your concern is with what is immediately present.

Insecurities

Having your Sun in the 3rd House, if you are insecure within yourself, you are often faced with the immediacy of your environment and you are overwhelmed and threatened by it. The existence that surrounds you is too much for you to comprehend. You, therefore, set boundaries, develop categories and constructs, and define a world for yourself that is safe and manageable. You simply live in this world of forms and roles that you have devised to protect yourself against the rawness of Existence.

With your Sun in the 3rd House, if you are challenged by the complexities of life, you react negatively. You cannot handle challenges to your simple, direct world. You may deny complexity, or you may try to fit it into your simplified vision of the world. You may try to control it by categorizing it. Whatever your response, you do not let yourself experience any threatening complexity. For you, the world exists as surface and if you admitted its depth, it would swallow you up.

Focus of Your Self-Identity

 As an individual with your Sun in the 3rd House, you tend to identify with your immediate surroundings. You may do this actively or passively. Passively, you take your identity from the circumstances in which you find yourself. You are defined by the place you live, the friends and family with whom you interact, the facts you know, your memories and what you have experienced. If your circumstances change, if you must deal with a totally new environment, your identity may change as well. Thus, your identity may be transient and changeable, dependent as it is on your environment. Having your Sun in the 3rd House, if you identify actively with your surroundings, you tend to see yourself as the one who interacts with your environment—the one who discovers, the one who tames the world, the one who collects knowledge, the one who categorizes, etc. In this case, you are likely to see yourself as active and dominating, free and self-determining. You are the one who enters into your environment and takes control of it.
