Sun in Cancer in the Fourth 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 relaties 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.

De tekenpositie van de Zon geeft aan hoe we onszelf willen uitdrukken, onszelf willen ontwikkelen, onszelf willen vervullen en onze wil en kracht willen laten gelden om onze omgeving vorm te geven. De positie van het huis geeft het levensgebied aan waarin we ervoor kiezen om de energie van ons zonneteken te richten en het doel te vervullen dat het vertegenwoordigt.

Zon in het 4e Huis

With the Sun in the 4th House, the Sun’s placement suggests that your sense of being is introverted and protected. You are likely to feel some need to be sheltered from the harshness and danger of the world. Nurturing and bonding with family often become more important in your self-development than exploring the world or expressing yourself in it. You generally will look for a sense of security so that your being can rest safely.

As an individual with your Sun in the 4th House, your task is to prepare a secure place for yourself and, in the process, often for others as well. You are likely to first look for that sense of security within your home and through your family. Often, the more you can draw your family around you, the more real and alive you feel. Thus, the focus of your energy is often on family matters or the home – the place where the family is brought together and finds security.

Having your Sun in the 4th House, emotional security is also likely to be important to you, particularly emotional security that is derived from nurturing, family support, a sense of heritage and community, and the maintenance of close bonds. However, you may be driven to realize a self-referenced emotional security that is based on confidence in your own inner foundation and rootedness. Your sense of being is often ultimately grounded within your own subconscious.

Onzekerheden

With your Sun in the 4th House, you are always seeking security and emotional support but you are never satisfied that you have obtained it. You cling to those with whom you have bonded and you become possessive of these relationships. You are always in need of emotional reinforcement, for you feel no independent sense of self-hood and existence. You lack confidence beyond the small realm within which you have chosen to confine yourself.

Having your Sun in the 4th House, your life and identity is dependent on your receiving emotional reward from family members and you may obsessively or neurotically “care” for them in order  to “earn” these rewards. You may constantly worry, partly as a means to justify your existence to yourself and partly in fear that something may happen to your support system. You are afraid to leave your close, comfortable world to explore either your outer or inner world and you try to bind others to your own limitations.

Focus van je zelf-identiteit

As an individual with your Sun in the 4th House, you tend to derive your identity from your domestic environment and from your close and family relationships. You often are who your family is or who your family wants you to be. You are likely to identify yourself as a feeling person, a caring and nurturing person and a family provider or care-giver. With you Sun in the 4th House, your identity is likely to be formed or influenced by the level of emotional support you receive from others. Your heritage and family background may also play a role in shaping your identity. You may become interested in your roots in order to discover your own self-identity. With regard to identity issues, you are likely to view self-identity as basic and fundamental to your life and personality.
