As the Sun, that shining diva of the solar system, sashays its way into the sensitive sign of Cancer, you both may feel like an emotional storm is brewing in your personal and shared lives. Opposing your composite Midheaven in quirky, intellectual Aquarius, this transit presents what we in the astrology biz like to call "a bit of a pickle". Cancer, the homebody of the zodiac, conflicts with Aquarius' drive for innovation and changing the world in a neon spandex suit, just to make a point. Cue dramatic background music!

During this period, struggles may arise as your unified sense of where you are heading in the world (Ahem! Midheaven, we're looking at you) clashes with the Cancer Sun's drive to stay put, have a cup of tea, and maybe discuss feelings. It's as if you're deciding whether to go to a wild dance party or sit on the couch and binge-watch mystery dramas. There's an arm-wrestling match, except it's between your head and heart.

One of you might feel like attending a virtual conference on Quantum Physics (typical Aquarian pursuit), while the other insists on making homemade apple pie and agonizing over whether the kitchen curtains need to be changed again. Here's a work-around, take the apple pie to the conference. You'd be the star attendees. Who can argue science with a person who has a mouthful of delicious apple pie?

The key during this time is to balance your shared Aquarian ambition with those homely Cancer goals of comfort and security. Navigating this emotional rollercoaster won't be easy, but nobody said celestial tug-of-war was a walk in the park! Do remember to laugh at the absurdity of it all. After all, being a pair attempting to get the best of both worlds can be as funny as a fish on a bicycle. It might seem absurd, but, given the circumstances, a little absurdity never hurt anyone, did it?
