Cancer: The Crab June 22 to July 22
|
|
The Sun on your birthday awakened Cancer the Crab, a feminine sign in the zodiac. The Sun in astrology stands for your inner nature, your essential character. The fourth sign of the Zodiac, Cancer is ruled by the restless Moon. A cardinal (creative and original) sign, Cancer governs home life, matters to do with women (especially the mother), as well as sensitivity
and emotional intensity. It is a water sign, so Cancerian people are emotionally intense and deeper than they appear on the surface, while quite sensitive and understanding
once you get through that tough exterior.
The Sun, ruler of our inner nature, is somewhat
dimmed in Cancer, the home of the Moon. Creative and romantic, with a strong love of home, family and tradition, you are a
good communicator and a strong provider. Your deep sensitivity presents you with valuable and illuminating intuitions, especially
regarding those you care for.
Paradoxically combining a love of travel with a deep need
for security, you surround yourself with sentimental objects from the past, including souvenirs, hand-me-downs and keepsakes.
Cancerians are remarkably good at accumulating things; indeed, you can be unwilling to throw anything out, even relationships
that have passed their use-by date.
Cancer is also good with money and generally takes
a long-term view. The main thing to remember is not to let the powerful, turbulent emotions of the moment crowd out your normally
rational judgement. Your intuitions are reliable and should be trusted; you may even have natural psychic powers, which may
be developed, given the right circumstances.

The
emblem for Cancer is the Crab, a creature with a very hard shell which protects a soft interior. The crab walks sideways,
which is how the Cancerian skirts around a problem until forced to take it on with gritty determination and a creative flair.
The crab's large claws hang on to its possessions for dear life, just as the Cancerian collects things to beautify the environment
and bravely defends the home turf.
Cancerians make good business people, combining artistry,
originality and drive with an understanding of financial matters, marketing and the needs of the public. You can trust your
intuitions, but you do need to generate a faith in yourself which will not be dampened by gloom or depression over what, in
retrospect, may appear to be relatively insignificant problems. You have the natural ability to be diplomatic and to speak
out when necessary or keep your mouth shut. Home and family ties will be significant in your life and developing a secure,
comfortable home environment will be a boon to your state of mind, irrespective of your marital state.
Physical
fitness or sports activities can become important ways for you to work out emotional stress. Team sports are fun, for you
can adopt team members as part of an extended family. Swimming, fishing, sailing and other water activities attract you, along
with skiing, ice skating, and mountain climbing. Cancerians are creative. Even those among you who may not have any particular
talent can use some involvement with art, music, or writing as another method of emotional release, rather than indulging
in eating binges or other destructive habits. Living or spending time near the water is a relaxing, as well as creatively
stimulating environment for Cancerians.
Cancer rules the stomach, diaphragm, upper liver
and breasts. People with Cancer active in their charts are subject to coughs, indigestion, gas, gallstones, general problems
with stomach, liver and intestines, plus emotional disorders such as depression, hypochondria and hysteria.
Ideal colours are white, silver, and pale yellow. Cancer rules metallic silver, while both the ruby and
the pearl are the traditional Cancerian birthstones. Silver reflects its environment in its shiny polished surface, yet it
can tarnish and become dull unless properly cared for. In the same way, your sensitive nature reflects the people and circumstances
surrounding you. The precious ruby, a variety of corundum, is one of the hardest minerals known, while the pearl is soft and
easily scratched. Here we have the two contrasting sides of the Cancerian personality: hard and determined, yet simultaneously
soft and vulnerable. Cancerian flowers are the water lily (lotus), iris, white poppy, white carnation and southern magnolia.
