The Sun is now in the midst of its annual tour through tropical Cancer, a good time to be conscious of your feelings. As the Sun moves through water trine aspects to Saturn in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces later today and tomorrow, being aware of your feelings will not only prove practical, it will yield information about where you are in the terrestrial tour that is your life.
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces have emblematic water in common as one part of their respective and distinguishing characteristics. Among its many manifestations, symbolic water corresponds to feelings — your feelings.
Your feelings are not often logical nor necessarily rational, but they are always valid. Feelings are related to, but not the same as, emotions. It’s possible to be very unemotional and still have strong feelings about any given subject or situation.
Just as representative water serves in part to identify Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, what you feel about anybody or anything is an important factor in what sets you apart as unique and valid among other beings.
When planets move through water signs, earthly manifestations of those objects are typically felt rather than apprehended in other ways. That’s how the Sun (which, among other things, corresponds to the illumination consciousness affords) in its current position on the zodiac can be said to favor being fully awake to, and in touch with, your feelings.
