Cancer Sun Wounds and How to Heal
So, we have all been there, we have all hit hard on the floor with so much pain that we have never thought we would be able to overcome. This pain can be a result of someone who has deeply betrayed you, or from a permanent loss of someone who has departed forever, it can be because you’ve worked so hard for something and that it has been delayed and for many other reasons. We have all had those moments where we only wanted out, and there was no way in soothing the pain. It is interesting how we are all different and we all react in different ways. Some people enjoy mourning alone, take time, and think about certain situations, while others act impulsively and seek revenge. Others escape reality by writing, reading, performing while others escape reality in unhealthy ways. Some of us are ok with showing our pain to others and communicating it, while others are extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable by doing so.
Some tend to think that the problem is in them, while others search to find a reason as to why this happens.
The bottom line is everyone hurts at some time, for some reason, and you are not alone. We all are unique in how we suffer and express ourselves. Of course, there is no quick solution to when we are in pain. Life does not provide you a quick pill that can ease the pain, however, life is not all about pain, it is about the moments you create and how you choose to view each situation. Everything that happens to us affects us as a person and our emotions towards others. It is important to accept that each painful situation is a lesson, although it is better said than done.
In this article, we focus on strategies to ease your pain based on your zodiac sign. Now, of course, this varies depending on other factors in your natal chart. In this case, we suggest that you consider your Moon and your Mars, so take a look at those two planets in your natal charts and see what signs those are in, this will help you get a better understanding, however, if you relate and identify yourself very much with your solar sign you can consider that as well.
Cancer
If you are a Cancer, we all know how protective you are of the ones you love. You put family first, and you treat your true friends as if they were family. You care for people as if they were part of you. You are great at expressing your feelings, but for this same reason, people consider you to be a bit moody.
You are highly sensitive, which means that you might be offended by things that other people won’t understand why, when your hurt, you tend to not speak out loud about it to avoid issues, however, just like the element water you are very clear and people can see right through you that something is odd about you. At the exact moment, someone asks you what is wrong, you burst down into tears or suddenly burst your anger because you have held on for too long to those feelings inside of you. Similar to Taurus, you will be patient and allow other people to take advantage of that, but not for too long, there will come a time where you no longer can hold it in.
Some consider you to be the cry baby, but we consider this a blessing to allow your emotions to manifest through tears, allowing you to not avoid it internally and react. This is a healthy process, that allows you to recognize your emotions, and as those tears drop relieving the pain drop by drop.
Cancer you are usually associated with a mother figure, and known for your ability to nurture and care for people, which is true, however, some people just see you as that pouting person who is hurt often, and there is more to you than just that.
Your beautiful and caring energy isn’t similar to others, and not everyone can understand that you feel things in such a way that not even you can ignore those feelings or distract yourself from them.
You have a hard time of letting go of whatever it is that hurts you when you are hurt, you struggle with distracting yourself from the thoughts, you also have a very good photographic memory, so you replay the scenes in your head over and over again. Not allowing you to get rid of negative thoughts and feelings.
When you are hurt, accept the process that you were designed for, allow yourself to cry and accept that this is not embarrassing or childish as other people describe it to be. Do not let it get to the point where you burst, address and speak up about what it is that is hurting you, instead of holding it all in until the point where you can no longer breathe.
Allow others to take care of you when you need it the most, allow yourself to feel the warmth of a hug from that special person who is willing to listen and care for you at that moment, you need to feel supported and even if this means that you need to travel just to get near the people you love, you should.
You above all signs, hurt and replay in your head whatever it is that is hurting you for days, weeks, months and even years, you have the hardest time of letting go and releasing the pain no matter how hard you try, which is why you should learn to accept, and above all forgive. Forgiving doesn’t mean that you go back to how things were, but that you’ve accepted that there was nothing that you could do to change the past and that you’ve accepted this as a lesson in life.
Life’s only “pill” to curing a wound is time and it is not just time itself, but it’s what you do with your time that matters. In your case Cancer, we know hurt you can be, and not everyone understands this, but the people that do are worth keeping forever in your life and allow them to nurture and care for you during these times.
