Okay, here’s my blog post about my “Cancer Rising, Aquarius Sun” exploration:
So, I’ve been diving deep into this whole astrology thing lately. Not in a super-serious, “the stars control my destiny” kind of way, but more like… exploring a different perspective on myself, you know? I stumbled across this combination – Cancer Rising and Aquarius Sun – and it kinda resonated, so I decided to dig in.
Getting Started: The Basics
First, I had to figure out what the heck these terms even meant. I used some online resources and quickly learned the basics.
Basically, I started by hitting up a bunch of astrology websites. It was information overload at first! I was copying and pasting descriptions, highlighting keywords, and trying to wrap my head around the general concepts. It was kind of messy, but hey, that’s how I learn – throw myself in and then sort it out.
Making it Personal: My Chart
The next step was to see if this combo even applied to me. So I used to create a birth chart. I put in my birth date, time, and location, and boom – there it was. Seeing it laid out like that, with all the planets and signs, was pretty cool. It gave me a sense of, “Okay, this is my cosmic blueprint, supposedly.”
Diving Deeper: Cancer Rising Stuff
Cancer Rising:This is all about how you appear to others, your first impression vibe. It’s supposed to be nurturing, sensitive, and maybe a little shy.
- I jotted down some thoughts about how I think I come across to people.
- Then I asked a couple of close friends for their honest opinions (that was a little nerve-wracking!).
- I compared the two, trying to be super objective (which is hard when it’s about yourself!).
Then Aquarius Sun: My Inner Self?
Aquarius Sun:This is about your core self, your ego, your basic identity. It’s described as independent, unconventional, and a bit rebellious.
I did a similar thing with the Aquarius Sun – listed out the traits, thought about my own behaviors and motivations, and tried to see where the descriptions lined up with my actual life. I also journaled a bunch about times I felt “rebellious” or “independent,” trying to tap into that Aquarian energy.
Putting It Together: The Contradictions!
The interesting part was seeing how these two energies – the sensitive Cancer and the rebellious Aquarius – interact. It’s kind of a push-pull, right? I spent some time thinking about how these contradictions show up in my life.
- Do I appear one way but feel another inside?
- Are there certain situations where one energy is stronger than the other?
My Conclusion (For Now!)
It’s an ongoing process! It’s not like I suddenly “figured myself out” completely. But it gave me some new language to think about my personality and behavior. It’s like holding up a funhouse mirror – it’s distorted, but it still reflects something real. I’ll probably keep poking at this, seeing if it continues to resonate, and adjusting my understanding as I go. Maybe I’ll even branch out and learn about other aspects of my chart!
