Cancer ! About your Self... |
The Cancerian character is the least clear-cut of all those
associated with the signs of the zodiac. It can range from the
timid, dull, shy and withdrawn to the most brilliant, and famous
Cancerians are to be found through the whole range of human
activity. It is a fundamentally conservative and home-loving
nature, appreciating the nest like quality of a secure base
to which the male can retire when he needs a respite from the
stresses of life, and in which the Cancerian woman can exercise
her strong maternal instincts. The latter tends to like and
to have a large family. `Nest like' is an appropriate adjective
for the Cancerian home, for its inhabitants tend to favor the
dark, mysterious but comfortable type of house which has something
of the air of a den about it, a place which belongs to the family
rather than existing as a showcase to impress visitors.
That is not to say that the Cancerian is unsociable, just that
for them there is a time to socialize and a time to be solitary,
and this is part of the apparent contradiction in their nature.
Outwardly they can appear formidable - thick-skinned, unemotional,
uncompromising, obstinately tenacious, purposeful, energetic,
shrewd, intuitive and wise, sometimes with a philosophical profundity
of thought verging on inspiration. Their intimates, however,
may see a very different character, one with a sympathetic and
kindly sensitivity to other people, especially those they love.
They are able to identify with the situations of others because
of the keenness of their imaginations. They are often over-imaginative
and prone to fantasy, sometimes trying to shape their lives
to fit some romantic ideal. They are appreciative of art and
literature, and especially of drama, where the spectacle and
ebb and flow of action and feeling particularly excite them.
They may themselves possess considerable literary, artistic
or oratorical talent. Their sharp ears and talent for mimicry
can sometimes give them success on the stage, though their tendency
to be emotional may make them overact. Interestingly - because
they give the impression of being down-to-earth - they are often
fascinated by the occult and are more open to psychic influence
than the average. If they can reconcile the personal conflict
of their urge to be outgoing with the reserve that causes them
to withdraw into themselves, then at best they can inspire a
generation, especially the youthful part of it, by their idealism.
A job in which they can express this, and in which they can
do well, would be as a leader in a youth organization.
In their personal relationships they are mentally a mixture
of toughness and softness, often emotional and romantic to the
point of sentimentality in their fantasies; but in real life
and in marriage, their loving is not so sentimental but tenaciously
loyal. Even if they have affairs (and they may do so, for the
male in particular is open to sensual stimulation), their first
loyalty remains to spouse and family, of whom they regard themselves
as the protector. Both the Cancerian man and woman love unreservedly,
giving much and asking little in return - in fact, one of the
most important lessons they have to learn is how to receive
gracefully. They are too easily influenced by those they love
and admire, and swayed by the emotion of the moment. They are
also loyal friends, the negative side of their faithfulness
being clannishness, the narrow patriotism of "my country
right or wrong"; and closing ranks in suspicion and coldness
toward outsiders.
Cancerians have a retentive memory, particularly for emotionally
laden events which they can recall in detail for years afterwards.
they are strongly governed by childhood memories and since they
live intensely in the past in memory and in the future in imagination,
a chance meeting with someone for whom they had an unrequited
love, even if they thought they had conquered the feeling, will
easily rouse the emotion all over again.
The Cancerian has many potential faults. They can be untidy,
sulky, devious, moody, inclined to self-pity because of an inferiority
complex, brood on insults (very often imagined), yet are easily
flattered. They can be tactless and difficult yet, because they
are normally ambitious, they will curry favor by floating with
majority opinions, outlooks and fashions of the day. As a result
they often change their opinions and loyalties and, indeed,
their occupations, and lack stability. They are easily corrupted
and, because they are convincing romanticizers, can make successful
confidence tricksters. Their romanticism in another sense make
them ardent supporters of causes, for example a football team
with whose heroes they can identify in a world of fantasy.
Their abilities fit the Cancerian for a wide range of occupations.
As they are interested in what people are thinking and able
to judge what they can safely be told, they can be good journalists,
writers or politicians, though in this last capacity they are
more likely to remain in the background rather than attain prominent
positions of power. They may, indeed, change their party affiliations.
They can serve in other departments of public affairs, especially
those which involve looking after others, for example in any
kind of service from welfare and nursing to catering - their
own love of comfort and good living makes the Cancerian an excellent
chef or housekeeper. They sometimes have a penchant for trade
or business and are often successful as a captain of industry.
This is because they are excellent organizers with a good sense
of value and economy which they may combine with a flair for
inventiveness and originality. The romantic side of their natures
make them enjoy grubbing about in places where exciting discoveries
may be made (old stamp collections in attics, etc.), and if
they can do this professionally as a secondhand dealer or specialist
in antiques, they will be happy. More common occupations which
suit some subjects of Cancer are real estate broker, gardener
and sailor.
Physically they are average to below average in height, with
a fleshy body and short legs in comparison with the rest of
them. Their hair is usually brown, their faces round, their
complexions pale, their foreheads prominent, their eyes small
and blue or gray in color, their noses short, perhaps upturned,
and their mouths full. They sometimes walk clumsily.

Possible Health Concerns... |
Cancer governs the chest, breasts, elbows, stomach and digestion,
womb and female reproductive organs. Cancer, which can affect
any part of the body, is sometimes said to have taken its name
from this sign, which can therefore afflict its subjects with
imperfections anywhere. This is incorrect, however, the derivation
of cancer being the Latin cancer meaning gangrene as well as
crab. nevertheless, Cancerians are said to be liable to breast
cancer and to suffer from pleurisy, dropsy, piles and varicose
veins. The excitability mentioned above can lead to weak digestion,
gastritis and other stomach ills, and there is a tendency to
coughs and weakness of vision.

PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS |
As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities.
When these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will
arise. However, with astrology we can examine the problem and
assess the proper solution based on the sun sign characteristics.
As a Cancerian you may see things below that really strike home.
Try the solution, you most likely will be amazed at the results.
If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below,
it is because you are failing to express the positive.
Problem : You can be oversensitive and something of a
clinging vine which may cause you to harbor imaginary hurts
and slights, this can make for highly unsettling conditions
with your spouse.
Solution : Be sure that the love you are expressing is
not simply your need to hang own to someone for moral support,
and if necessary, you should seek professional help in order
to overcome this negative, clinging aspect of your personality.
Problem : One of your biggest personality flaws, next
to neediness, is the habit of being so self absorbed that you
sometimes fail to notice what others are doing and accomplishing
in their lives, you feel shut out and jealous if a family member
has more success than you do.
Solution : You should make a special effort to change
this in yourself by forcing yourself to rejoice over their good
fortune and when you do this you find that it will eventually
become a habit and you as well as they will be happier for the
change.
Problem : Your inability to take orders without getting
angry or upset may be another one of your problems and this
one could be very serious as it affects your chances of earning
a good living for yourself and/or your family, since you are
quite apt to walk away from any job where you feel 'picked on'..
Solution : Try keeping an ear out and find out how the
ones who have been on the job for any length of time gets along
with the boss and coworkers. If you follow his lead or simply
decide that you will simply keep quiet and follow orders you
will soon see how well you can be really liked by all concerned.
Problem : You also have a problem with putting things
off until the last minute which upsets your family and friends.
This also has a tendency to make an unpleasant matter even more
unpleasant when you procrastinate.
Solution : Make taking care of the business at hand your
prime objective from now on for, when you do not have all those
worries in the back of your mind you will find it more pleasant
to be around people, and you will also find that life goes smoothly
for you from then on.

more interesting facts about your sign : |

| The
crab is a nocturnal water creature that is well equipped with
its massive claws to defend itself and survives very well in
the 'wilds' of the underwater world in which it thrives. They
have also been prized for food throughout the ages. Crabs come
in a variety of 'styles' and species and are found in most of
the oceans of the world, as well as in many inland waters. Being
a sea scavenger, the crabs help mankind by keeping our waters
cleaner. |
