**Please note: �For those of you born on June 20 - 24 or July 22 - 26,�
Emotion
is the pitfall of Cancer people. �As changeable as their ruler, the Moon,
these subjects may shift in minutes from stable, normal, "happy" individuals
into purveyors of the darkest feelings of gloom and doom. There's a quality
of despair in Cancerian moodiness. Cancers
make fabulous partners for home-loving people. The Cancer's nest is
where she feels safest and at her most secure. �As security is the main
preoccupation of most Cancers, a good home with comfy furnishings, a
few kids and dogs and a built-in wall safe is about the best thing that
can happen to them. �In this atmosphere of cushions and curtains, Cancer
thrives. �For the Cancer subject, home is love is home is love, etc. Cancers
are good at making money; they hold executive positions and assume responsibilities
with aplomb. �You will rarely find a poor-but-happy Cancer. �Cancerians
very seldom decide to throw it all up and become a hippie or a free-lance
bohemian. �They don't necessarily like the system or the constraints
it places on them, but of all the signs of the occidental zodiac, Cancers
are the most capable of placing nose to dull old grindstone and keeping
it there. �The Cancer wants comfort for herself, but she also enjoys
providing for her family in a generous way. Cancers
are traditionalists. �Where you might have hung a supremely abstract
painting over your mantelpiece, the Cancer will have put portraits of
her dour-looking grandparents, which she dug out of the attic because
nobody else wanted them. �They will surely be framed in antique frames
and will hold the place of honor in Cancer's heart. �Cancer prefers
antiques to formica and longs for her son or daughter to become a doctor,
a lawyer or a surefire accountant. If
you have a Cancer for a friend, you know what loyalty and devotion mean.
�Cancer people usually make their friends young and keep them for life.
�And, as Cancers are fairly intransigent, they are easily hurt if the
friends in question do not return their devotion. �They will forgive.
But Cancers never forget. If
someone asked me to describe the worst aspect of Cancer subjects, I
would not say "moods" or "crabbiness." �Instead I would have to speak
of the Cancer's tendency to hypersensitivity. �Cancer is easily offended
and susceptible to criticism the way six-year-olds are susceptible to
chicken pox. �A tiny word of criticism can bring on one of Cancer's
legendary moods and the criticizer may go on the black list for quite
a long time. Cancers
are jealous, too. �They own the people they live with and are possessive
to a fault about their loved ones. They are not, however, tyrannical
about this weakness. The idea is not "I bought you and therefore I own
you." No, it's more like "I love you so much and care so profoundly
for you that I cannot believe you listened to that other less serious
person." �Cancer is not only angry. �She is hurt. �In love, Cancer gives
her all. �It's practically impossible for her to understand someone
who only gives a small part. FAMOUS
