In some ways the "Cancermini" may be spoken of as inspired individual. Whether their inspiration is more private or public in nature, those born on this cusp have a highly devotional streak in which caring impulses are manifested toward their loved ones, or toward an occupation or cause. Those born on the Gemini-Cancer cusp can thus be self-effacing, in that their egos are often put in the service of a higher power. For this reason, particularly on first meeting, they rarely impress one as brightly lit-up, dynamic individuals but rather profound and thoughtful people with a softer glow that comes deep within.
Every cusp personality comprises conflicting elements, being influenced by two very different adjacent signs. In the case of the "Cancermini" personality, however, airy, light, and energetic Gemini traits are complement the watery, feeling and sensitive aspects of Cancer by lending ethereal grace and charm. The main conflict arises between the mental logic and precision of Gemini, and the diffuse, subtle emotionality of Cancer. Furthermore, as thought-feeling types, those born on G-C cusp are attracted to ecstatic states, and fortunately they are capable of finding inspirational qualities in even the most ordinary of everyday activities. But their lives are only given full meaning when they love and romance are allowed to bloom.
"Cancermini" should exercise your magical powers with care. You may need to be a bit tougher on yourself. Keep an eye on the goal and resist any tendency to drift. Do not lose yourself so readily in ecstatic experiences or you may have trouble finding yourself again. Beware of repressing your feelings or allowing destructive emotions to control you.June 21st is
Those born on June 21 are obsessed with life, with every aspect of existence. Whether intellectuals or sensualists, aristocratic or plebian, they thirst after the experiences of the world, and those who live in developed countries of the world often come to symbolize all that is the best and worst about modern capitalist society. Not infrequently they are money-wise, even brilliant with family or company finances. Extremely success-oriented, they have a tendency to become autocratic and tolerate little departure from their own ethical codes. The fact that June 21 marks the summer solstice, the longest day and the shortest night of the year, symbolizes the rich worldly nature of this day.
Even June 21 intellectuals tend to be very sensual, sexually oriented beings. No matter how cynical, ironic, or logical June 21 people may be, they can still be slaves to a private life passionate love. Thus, many highly evolved June 21 people live in rapturous stare here they revel in the pleasures of the mind and flesh. Indeed, their thoughts are passionate and their lovemaking artful, even thoughtful. These are some of the few people in the year for whom physical and mental matters are truly integrated and pursued avidly and uncompromisingly.
Needless to say, June 21 people are very intense. Either they themselves are thought beautiful and attractive to others or they are extremely attracted to physical beauty. In either case, a kind of Beauty and Beast dynamic is frequently at work.
In their enthusiasm and drive to succeed, June 21 people surmount whatever obstacles stand in their way. Their personality seems to work a kind of magic on others, and they often occupy a key position in their family, social circle or professional life. Those born on this day would make excellent politicians, were it not that they so often find themselves at odds with the prevailing social system.
June 21 people must, of course, beware of going beyond the pale in regard to their passions-be they for criticism, ideas, sex or social involvement. They may find themselves involved in a world where anything is allowed-eaten up by their egos, destroyed by their sensuality, obsessed by their interests.Addictive types, those born on this day are frequently workaholics and therefore carrying on normal persona; relationships can be difficult, if not impossible. They can be highly demanding, making it hard for their mates, friends, and children to relate to them. A quest for spirituality may be the only path that frees them from worldly concerns.NUMBERS AND PLANETS Those born on the 21st of the month are ruled by the number 3 (2+1=3) and by the planet Jupiter. Those ruled by the number 3 are often ambitious, even dictatorial. The optimistic influence of Jupiter and combined influence of Mercury (Gemini's ruler) and the Moon (Cancer's ruler) may make those born on June 21 impractical, superficial and overly expansive. Particularly men born on this day love style and will not hesitate to spend good money to present a dazzling appearance. In keeping with this fact, the number 21 has marked associations with physical beauty.TAROT The 21st card of the Major Arcana is the World, which depicts a goddess running while holding energy-giving rods. She surmounts the world and displays the truth; she has unlimited power. This card symbolizes all that is attainable on the earthly plane. Although reward and integrity are assured, traditionally the card can also indicate monumental obstacles and setbacks of fortune, as well as negative traits of distraction and self-pity.HEALTH June 21 people can be consumed by their desires and passions, and therefore must guard against burnout. Pacing themselves is the key. In addition, if any of one of their activities assumes an addictive cast it can crowd out everything else in their life, and require higher and higher "doses" to satisfy them. This kind of activity can lead to sociopathic behavior, or at least to alienation from family and friends. A vegetarian or semi-vegetarian diet, on the mild side rather than spicy, with an emphasis on grains and root vegetables, will help keep June 21 people grounded. Only very moderate exercise is recommended. Workaholics must beware of stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers, as well as other secondary stress-related ailments such as lung disease resulting from smoking, or cirrhosis of the liver from alcohol.ADVICE Don't let your ego run away with you. If you allow freedom, what about everyone else? Let each person have their due; don't be so overwhelming and controlling. Keep your appetite for pleasure and enjoyment appropriate to the occasion. Maintain your poise. Allow yourself to vegetate occasionally.MEDITATION William Blake said, "The road of excess leads to the Palace of Wisdom." This may be true-but will the traveler arrive?
