Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole astrology thing, and my chart says I’m a Cancer Sun in the 12th house. I was like, “What the heck does that even mean?” So, I started poking around, trying to figure it out.
First, I grabbed my birth chart. I mean, you gotta start with the basics, right? Used one of those free online calculators, popped in my birth date, time, and place. Boom. Chart appeared.
Then I zeroed in on the Sun. Found that little circle-with-a-dot symbol in the Cancer section. Okay, so I’m a Cancer Sun. I already kinda knew that, I’m all about the feels, homebody vibes, you know?
Next, I looked for the house number. This was a bit trickier. The chart’s divided into these pie slices, and I had to find the one labeled “12”. My Sun was hanging out in there. 12th house. Spooky, mysterious, so they say.
Now came the research part. I started googling “Cancer Sun 12th house” and, oh boy, the internet is a rabbit hole. I read through a bunch of different websites, forums, and even some old blog posts. Lots of talk about intuition, subconscious stuff, hidden talents, and needing alone time to recharge.
- It seem like I am easily affected by others.
- I am sensitive so I need protect myself.
I tried to connect what I was reading to my own life. Do I feel things deeply? Uh, yeah, I’m a total empath. Do I need my alone time? Absolutely, gotta have my quiet space to unwind. Do I have hidden talents? Well, I’ve always been kinda good at reading people, picking up on vibes. Maybe that’s it?

Then I decided to, like, actively observe myself. For a week, I paid extra attention to my moods, my reactions to things, my energy levels. When did I feel drained? When did I feel energized? Who made me feel good? Who brought me down?
I even started a little journal. Nothing fancy, just some quick notes at the end of the day. “Felt super overwhelmed at the grocery store today. Too many people.” “Had a really great, deep conversation with my best friend. Felt so connected.” Stuff like that.
My Realizations
After a week of this, I started to see some patterns. I definitely get overwhelmed in crowded, noisy places. I really thrive in one-on-one conversations. And I need, like, need, time alone to just process everything. It’s like my batteries get depleted super fast, and I need to plug back into myself.
So, is this whole Cancer Sun 12th house thing accurate? I think so. It’s not like it’s a magic formula or anything, but it definitely gave me some insights into myself. It’s like a little roadmap to understanding my own quirks and needs. I’m still learning, still figuring things out, but it’s been a pretty cool journey so far.
