Before we get into today's post I must say a huge thank you to you all for your gorgeous comments, emails and sweet messages on my second to last style post; You really do know how to make me feel better and I cannot thank you enough for always being so hugely supportive, I could never express just how much it means to me!
Feeling lost sometimes is something we all go through but talking about it and hearing your similar stories really does make me feel less alone and I'm glad by me talking about the matter it allows you to feel less alone too!
I'm an emotional being by nature being a Cancerian and all, but talking about how I'm feeling really does help to straighten my head and make me feel better. It's my birth month and it's really got me thinking about just how relevant star signs can be.
I've always been into horoscopes particularly because my late Nanna Hazel was BIG on them, she could guess your star sign simply by spending just 3 minutes in your company, something I was ALWAYS so fascinated by.
I check my horoscope every single day and whilst it's not always spot on, there is often something I can take solace in.
Whether you believe in them or think they're a load of tosh, I thought that seeing as though it is my birthday month and seeing as I missed my usual birthday blog post (read my 24th and 25th birthday posts here) I'd explore my star sign a little more which will hopefully allow you to learn a little more about me too 🙂
Lets chat about star signs and horoscopes in the comments too, I'd love to hear about the traits you have and whether they're reflected within your star sign. I'd equally love to hear if you're not a believer too, I think this could be a really interesting discussion so look forward to seeing you down in the comments.
First up, think about any Cancerians you may know.
Those that were born between June 21st-July 22nd, whats the first trait that springs to mind?
I bet, for the most part it was emotional.
Yup, us Cancerians are extremely emotional and that is one trait that I can SRSLY relate to. Whether I'm happy or sad my emotions really do rule my world, which can sometimes be a bloody pain but for the most part is a trait I like having as I am a complete open book.
What you see is what you get with me and there is certainly no hiding how I am feeling, it is usually written all over my face and for the most part written all over my blog too.
I think being classed as "emotional" often gets a lot of bad press, people tend to mistake being connected to ones emotions as being an emotional wreck, a drama queen, a cry baby, when in reality that isn't the case. I'm not a drama queen nor a cry baby, however things do seem to affect me and other Cancerians I know in ways that don't affect others, it's just our nature. I'll cry when I'm sad, I'll cry when I'm happy, I'll be the first to have a little sob at the ending of a love film and I'll sure as hell cry those happy tears when good news comes to me and my loved ones, yup call me an emotional wreck if you will, but I call it wearing my heart on my sleeve.
In relation to being emotional if I had a pound for every time I've been called sensitive I would be well on my way to being a millionaire right now; what can I say I am a sensitive Susan and I really do take a lot of things to heart, which is something I truly dislike about myself and about being a Cancerian. I'm a huge softy and sometimes I don't get "the joke" and instead take it a little personally... Oops!
Cancerians are also extremely loyal friends too, which I can say is totally true; sometimes too loyal for my own good which does get me into trouble from time to time... But at least you can trust me hey even if I do annoy the shit out of you with my lack of self esteem, something else us Cancerians have to deal with...
Cancerians are also highly imaginative beings, something once again I can relate to. For the most part this is super great as I have a million and one ideas flying around my little head, most of which I can act upon and get done to the highest ability I can, but sometimes this can be my downfall as I am extremely hard on myself when things don't go to plan. Perhaps thats the emotions within me or perhaps thats me being a little tenacious and more of a control freak than I need to be, another trait us Cancerians seem to have in common.
It's no secret that I am a huge home bird, I love nothing more than having a night in at home or hosting a dinner party for my nearest and dearest, something that is backed up by the traits of a cancerian. Cancer is the sign of family, or so they say, and when I think of myself, George (also a Cancerian, one of the few horoscopes that are actually compatible with one another...) my Nanna Hazel and auntie Sara-Jane, the other Cancerians in my life, I can see that this is most definitely correct. The four of us are ALL about family, about looking after family first, hosting at any given opportunity and being extremely sentimental towards family memories. It's my dream to have a family of my own one day as to me, family really is everything.
However, one of the few things I can't relate to within my own star sign is being solely sentimental. A Cancerian is said to not be able to get rid of ANYTHING, holding on to each and every little memory just because. Well this is not me, I’m a compulsive clearer-outerer, I freaking hate clutter and get a little stressed out when things aren’t in order (hello control freak) so I certainly have no qualms about getting rid of that ticket stub, art exhibition postcard or festival wristband from three years ago.
So, it’s safe to say I am a Cancerian through and through (for the most part anyway), a child of the moon, a summer baby and a little on the emotional side of life. I love with all my heart, I dream of having a family, I am loyal as heck but if that loyalty is not reciprocated I will leave you behind, I am overly sensitive, a dreamer with imagination and a bit of a pain in the ass, but hey, aren’t we all!
Happy Birthday to all my fellow Cancerians!
Although star signs and horoscopes of course need to be taken with a pinch of salt I’d love to hear more about your traits and whether they reflect your star sign too, lets chat it out, the good with the bad and lets have a laugh with it.
And for more info on what my start sign says about me, take a look at this BuzzFeed article, ‘cause they always say it better with GIFs.

I feel like you have literally just described me and a fellow Cancerian friend of mine!
I’ve always had a vague interest in the star signs but might dig a little deeper after reading this.
Oh, and also LOVE the outfit.
x
Oh babe I am SO excited that this post may have inspired you to dig a little deeper into your signs! Let me know how you get on and if you do get hooked, theres some great suggestions in the comments right here about finding out more, I’m certainly going to be checking them out x
Happy birthday fellow 4th July Cancerian! (yes, we share the same birthday and year haha)
It is SO true that us Cancerians are highly emotional. I can burst into tears with the first note of a song, which often surprises people around me. I also noticed that one trait is to remember tiny details of life and memories, is it the same with you? And yes yes yes, home is everything. I could easily choose to stay at home and host a few close friends than going out with them. Not that I’m lazy but there’s no place like home, eh?
xx
Ahh thats awesome! Happy Birthday to you my darling!
YES I am with you on the remembering the smallest of details I really am!
Hell yes home is the best place in all the land! x
I relate to this so much! I always begin my day by reading the horoscope, and, although it is almost never true, it gives me a sense of reassurance!
Oh my good god if this post isn’t me through and through??? I had no idea you were a cancerian too! Though it does make sense when you usually put your birthday post the same month as me haha! I absolutely love this post! And completely agree with the clutter thing! I also don’t agree with that trait I used to hoard so much stuff but now i find it easier to let go and always find myself clearing stuff out! I find it really refreshing, and helps me cope a lot more with those cancerian emotions!
HAHAA Paige! Us Cancerians are so damn similar it’s hilarious!
SO glad you enjoyed the post gorgeous one, it means so much x
Loved this post, was amazing! My brother is a Cancerian. ( his birthday is tomorrow)

yees Cancerian babes! <33 I was born right at the beginning of Cancer regency, so I have influence from Gemini too, lol
If you're truly into this, I highly suggest you do your full natal chart, bc that's more specific to a person, and some characteristics are explained by the position of the planets on the different houses… you can do it for free at astro.com (not an #ad lolol) and I believe they offer explanations too.
I know a lot of people frown upon signs (and astrology in general), but I find it can be a good tool for self-knowledge 🙂
xx
Ooo this sounds SO interesting, I definitely want to explore this a little further so really appreciate you sending this over! Thanks lovely x
Being a cancerian too I’d say this is uncanny! Same with me about the sentimental thing though – I’m quite ruthless at throwing things away (save for a toy bunny I’ve had since I was born that is officially part of the family).
So weird!
And Happy Birthday too!

Ahhh so glad you can relate babes! We are really very similar indeed!
Thank you darling xo
I REALLY enjoyed this post, Megan!! My birthday is July 31st (which is right around the corner!!) and I’m a Leo. Although I don’t believe in astrology, I’m very drawn to it and I’m always fascinated by how accurate my personality traits are with my zodiac sign (…even the ones that I don’t like to admit that I have, haha). As always, phenomenal post and STUNNING pictures!! xxx

Ohhhh Emma thank you so so much! And Happy Birthday for 31st!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this post despite not being full convinced in astrology <3
Totally true! Happy B-day from a fellow Cancerian 🙂
Thank you and straight back atcha darling x
Oh Megan I love this post! I love reading my star signs daily. You’ve described a fellow Cancerian very well! I’m the same with sentimental things! I’m a bit OCD with physical things as I hate clutter but I must admit, I am sentimental when it comes to my memory’s. I love talking about happy memories of the past and looking back on photo albums! Totally agree with the emotions, I’m a sensitive bean too, I even cried when I saw a puppy in the street once because I couldn’t deal with the cuteness! ? I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Xxx
Ahhh we’re very very similar indeed aren’t we, I find that so comforting!
HAHAHA I totally feel you on crying at cuteness, my puppies make me do that every single day haha x
I am such a sucker for astrology! I have always believed in it from a young age and I 100% agree with the traits of my sign: dramatic, loyal, full of integrity and someone who just wants to have a laugh! (any fellow Leo’s out there can relate) I also have strong Cancerian influences in my chart and I totally feel you on being a home body and loving being with family.
As always, another amazing post with some bangin’ pictures and an amazing outfit!
Love ya work Megan!
Ohhh Madelyn so glad you’re with me on the fascination that astrology brings!
Thank you so much for the kind words about this post, the outfit and the photography, means the world x
Wow this was such an interesting topic you came up with! I’ve never really cared to much about astrology because no one from my family believes in it and also I hated my zodiac sign. I’m a Pisces, which I feel like easily come across as kinda “weak” and naive in a lot of horoscopes… But i have a friend who really enjoys reading horoscopes so I got into it a bit more and I could really start embracing my zodiac sign and see more of me in it somehow. Yes, Pisces are romantic and can sacrifice a bit too much of themselves sometimes, but they are also generous, creative, very loving, and kind of sassy… 🙂
Hope you had a lovely birthday month! xx
I’m SO thrilled you enjoyed the post babes! I’m also really excited that you’re getting into horoscopes and astrology a little bit more thanks to your pal! I honestly find it so fascinating despite some things not being 100% accurate but it’s important to take it with a pinch of salt 🙂
Lots of love to you lovely lady x
Such an interesting read as I’ve always been so intrigued by star signs. I’m an Aries and have been learning a lot this year about the traits of my star sign, the main ones are being a leader and believing in yourself. I think we’re quite a strong star sign but can be rather naive at times which is a trait I definitely have. I always love to have a read at my horoscope and who’s compatible with me, a lot of my friends are Cancer star signs and they’re some of the best friends I have!x

Oh wow what great traits an Aries have, I could certainly do with believing in myself a little more!
Ohhh Lucy thats so lovely to hear about your fellow Cancerian Friends <3<3<3
Sensitive Susan meet Sensitive Sally hahaha! I absolutely love horoscope/zodiac stuff! When I lived in London I was desperate to read the Metro every morning to see what my horoscope said (SAD) haha!!
Although I’m Sagittarius which doesn’t say much in terms of sensitivity, research into your life path (where it takes your day/month/year birth day and works out a formula to give you a number between 1-11 voila! Life path number (don’t ask what it is I normally just use the generators ahah!) https://seventhlifepath.com defs check it out! This along with the horoscope definitely says a lot about me!
I’m number 11 so I’m (sensitive, intuitive, dreamer, charismatic, inventive, visionary) which is true being a designer, definitely have to have those things 🙂
Sagittarius – (love freedom and travel, independent, strong willed, creative, truthful) which is super duper true, however my traits are impatient and moody also true and very aware of and not so great…
I feel like I sound like mystic Meg but I’m so curious and find it so intruiging ahaha! LOVED this post <3
Lots of love
Danielle xxxx @daniellejuliesp
Oh wow this is absolutley FASCINATING! Thank you so much babes I’ll certainly be taking a look into that! WOWOWOW x
Thanks for the great read Megane! Being a cancerian myself I can relate to almost everything you said. My friends and family have been making fun of me for the past 10 years for being the sensitive Susan who cries no matter the situation, but it makes me smile now (most of the time)! Do you thing my tendency to resting bitch face as something to do with my star sign as well ?
Happy birthday again to all fellow cancerians! ❤
Oh babes I’m so glad you enjoyed this post, thanks SO much for sharing your little Cancerian quirks too!
Happy Birthday honey x
Interesting insight Megan! I am a fellow 4th July Cancerian and I can very much relate to being a deeply emotional and loyal child of the moon. Though, knowing your rising sign really helps to get an accurate definition of your personality. Do you know yours???
My dear one is a Virgo, that is to say another emotional sign, though less likely to share their feelings! Still our relationship is filled with deep emotions and I am sure yours is as well. How nourishing is such a relationship, right!
Xx
Ahh Happy Birthday fellow 4th July honey!
OoooOooo this sounds very interesting indeed and certainly something I am keen to learn more about! Thanks for sharing babe x
Completely agree with this post! I’m a Cancerian and this is me down to a t! Quick question do you find that as you and George are both cancerians that it can be quite intense or do you love it?
Hope you had a lovely birthday ???
Hey Honey!
Ahh glad you enjoyed the post.
You know what, it’s not intense at all, it’s really lovely and levelled as we both know exactly how the other one is feeling when we’re having our emotional/sensitive/self confidence problems, thankfully they don’t often happen at the same time haha!
Likewise babe, hope you had a gorgeous birthday too x
ABSO luvvvv this post!! I may not be a cancerian but i am a virgo through and through!! Since the hallmark trait of cancerian babies are emotion, virgo babies are perfectionists… I agree with this 100%. Virgos are methodical and pouring over jobs to the end degree!! and people full of energy!! I am referred to as hyper but i take it as a compliment!! One trait i sadly hate of mine and virgos is we are prone to skepticism…. However, i am devoted lover.. maybe summin all traits share!! Anyway, hope you had a fab day megs.
Shannon x
Ahhh thanks so much for letting me into your personality via your star sign, it means a lot Shannon!
So glad you enjoyed the post! I’m so fascinated by signs and I love learning more about other star signs as I only really know about mine! Thanks for the lovely comment babe x

Thanks gorgeous one x
I feel I’ve always had a lil connection with you from the moment I started following you a few years back. I’m really into astrology and as a Cancerian myself, and with a Cancerian baby girl, it’s definitely true – we are sensitive and emotional little dolls. I definitely think letting it all out helps me to process and purge anything that’s bothering me, but sometimes I wish I didn’t feel every detail. Also I can only really be myself around those I truly feel comfortable around, and if I can have a real good laugh with them then even better! You have a great imagination, fantastic laugh and creativity and I’ve always been inspired by your home and fashion knowledge. I think we can often think of things that are a little out there but they can be overlooked by others. Me personally I’m not always brave enough to really let loose, so much of my thoughts never make it to the actions. And sometimes when I do something outlandish, I feel a bit silly! (When I really shouldn’t?) Neurosis maybe.
I’m glad I can be inspired by another little sea gem, as it will help me open up little more xx
Thank you so much for your gorgeous comment 🙂 It truly means the world and it’s so lovely that we are both so similar. I couldn’t agree with you more about the downfalls to being a Cancerian, particularly the feeling of every little thing and I also totally agree that letting it all out really helps.
Lots of love to you fellow Cancerian, enjoy your birthday month xx
