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range from the timid, dull, shy and withdrawn to the most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.

| Some 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. |
