For all signs: This is a time of nostalgia, remembering events of early childhood. Cancer is the developmental stage when you begin to mold your sense of personal identity and power within your family. Leo, the sun sign of most of August, continues the same quest within peer groups. For some the painful wounds of this time period plague their unconscious minds and can be healed through creating new experiences and associations.
