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 It can range from the timid, dull, shy and withdrawn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. horoscopes LIKES - Hobbies
