July 1 Zodiac Birthday Signs – Profound determination, sensitivity, and insight indicate that although you are shy and retiring, there is an unyielding nature behind your gentle smile. As a Cancerian, you are impressionable, intuitive, yet hardworking. Caring and protective, you are often a devoted parent and a loyal friend; nevertheless, at times you are likely to be moody or commanding, troubled by conflicting emotions. This indicates that inclinations toward depression or self-torment should be avoided. Nevertheless, your composed and unwavering nature gives you the impetus to overcome great challenges. This power to begin again by initiating new projects and ideas is one of your greatest assets.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, suggests that although you are ambitious and independent, you need privacy, and a peaceful life is much desired. Although sociable, you attempt to hide some of your movements and resent any interference from others.

By developing your natural insight, you grow to learn the value of wisdom gained from life’s experiences. If restrictions are imposed on you, you stand your ground by displaying a rebellious streak. An idealist, you can be a force to be reckoned with once you are inspired.
After the age of twenty-one, when your progressed Sun moves into Leo, there are likely to be many opportunities to develop strength, creativity, and self-expression.
