Sun in Cancer gives you compassion and nurturing, the ability to sense others' emotional needs and a heightened sensitivity to your own emotions.
Your brooding, emotional nature is grounded and balanced slightly by your Virgo Ascendant which helps you maintain practicality and patience. You can appear calm and cool to the outside world even as you are shaking with emotions inside.
You also prefer to be of service and channel your nurturing energy through practices that serve the community. You can be meticulous and hold others to a high expectation, though you are also willing to invest time, energy and resources on those you love because you believe in their best potential and try to help them achieve it.
Sun in Cancer in your tenth house also gives emphasis to your own achievements, ambition and career. You may be highly motivated to succeed perhaps in a public office or in a career in which you will have a broad audience.
Your sensitivity, intuition and shrewd business sense will factor into any career path you pursue. You are likely to gravitate toward work involving family, healthcare, counseling, marketing, real estate emotional healing or cooking.
