Cancer Profile:
Cancer's element is Water. Symbolic of the emotions, water signs need to give and receive. They thrive on the exchange of feelings. They need security and love to be wrapped in an environment of love and comfort. Truly a wonderful example of Yin receptivity, Cancer seems to absorb memories, feelings and psychic messages. Of course, they send back their own good vibes in the process. The cardinal' motivation energizes their strong ability to provide for others. Few work as hard and as tenaciously as Cancer. Without the balance of Yang assertiveness, however, Cancer's confidence can be a bit wobbly. After all, the Crab is so very sensitive to everything. Just as the sign's ruler, the Moon, goes through phases, Cancer often experiences mood-swings. Sometimes the desire to love results in giving too much. In such cases, the Crab can become over-protective or dependent. Balanced, the Cancer adds personal independence to his or her priorities.
My Horoscope for November 2003:
Overall:
Celebrate romance and creativity in November. On November 9, appreciate the people who have stood by you in your life. Welcome an evening of conversation and reminiscing. Mid-month, take more responsibility for your physical wellbeing by starting an exercise regimen that will help you stay fit. You can make a lot of progress now. On November 23, take control at work. Be careful about gossip at the end of the month. You may unwittingly pass along something that makes someone upset.
Love:
As November begins, Crabs have to feel safe in order to let someone else into their lives in an intimate way, so from the 1st to the 4th, take things slowly and don't move to the next level until you're absolutely sure it's what you want. You can be quite stubborn about getting your way on the 8th and 9th, and it will take a special partner to put up with your antics on the 10th, 11th and 12th -- you like to flirt with strangers on these days and if you're with someone else while you're doing it, you can expect at least a hint of jealousy on their part. Boredom may be a hint that you need to add some spice to your love life on the 15th, 16th or 17th, or it may be a sign of a deeper problem. Take some time to sort through real relationship-related problems from the 15th to the 21st rather than trying to sugarcoat them, Cancer. Single Crabs get curious about someone new on the 24th and 25th, but just because you want to know them better doesn't give you the right to dig into their personal business. If you want to know more about your partner or a potential mate, asking them is the only fair way to get the information through the 30th.
Work:
Creative projects allow you the freedom you crave from November 1st through 4th, and even if you are in a position where your artistic abilities aren't usually appreciated, others are more willing to cut you some slack as you find ways to put your unique spin on things during this timeframe. The 5th, 6th and 7th are good days to get the ball rolling on a new project, but following through with the smaller details should be left to someone with a little more focus until the 13th and 14th -- you're more at ease with the small picture on these days than you may have been earlier in the month. Your pragmatism may catch someone with something to hide off guard on the 18th and 19th, but your eagerness to expose the truth will actually help the group dynamic in the long run. You may not win any popularity contests with your 'win at all costs' attitude on the 22nd and 23rd, but that doesn't stop you from moving forward with your plan. Crabs who are thinking of straying off their usual career path may get some outside help on the 24th, 25th or 30th, proving that there may be some truth to the old adage 'it's not what you know but who you know' after all.
Fitness:
It isn't that you don't want to be part of the team in the beginning of November, it's just that from the 1st to the 4th, you really aren't all that interested in winning, which makes you somewhat of a detriment -- settle for being a bench warmer or cheerleader if you don't feel 'into it' on these days, Cancer. You like activities that allow you to connect with the Earth in some way, like gardening or raking leaves, especially on the 8th and 9th. If given a choice, you prefer to take natural remedies like herbal supplements or teas to help combat physical ailments rather than fill your body with chemicals on the 13th and 14th. Ease in to rigorous exercise slowly on the 15th through 17th, but don't stop before you get your heart and adrenaline pumping. As long as you're in relatively good shape to begin with, your circulatory and cardiopulmonary systems benefit from rigorous workouts (especially running and biking) midmonth, and because you have such great stamina on the 22nd and 23rd, you should have no problem getting your heart rate up to a beneficial level and keeping it there on these days. You aren't one to follow the rules on the 28th and 29th, but if no one is keeping score, it won't really matter.

Compatibility:
(Cancer and Taurus)
When Taurus and Cancer come together, it's generally a good combination. They are two positions apart within the Zodiac, and such Signs tend to have karmic ties and a good understanding of each other. These partners have a lot in common and both crave security: Taurus in a more material sense and Cancer in an emotional sense. They can nurture each other, and are domestic, appreciating quiet nights at home together. The Taurus-Cancer partnership tends to be a happy one because they both enjoy the security and comfort of home. They mutually enjoy a solid home base, a strong relationship, nice possessions, good food: all the comforts of domestic life. Theirs is often the ideal family that people of other Signs strive for, with strong ties between them and a relationship that is oriented toward family rather than the outside world. Their only major problems arise when Taurus insists on having its own way and causes Cancer to sulk. Taurus needs to understand Cancer's emotional sensitivity, and Cancer needs to be more open about their needs instead of relying on emotional blackmail. Taurus is ruled by Venus and Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Both of these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy.
Taurus has an open, honest nature that appeals to Cancer, who often keeps emotions and feelings inside. Cancer can possess intense feminine energy, and Taurus can help them learn to channel this energy into worthwhile endeavors. The Moon controls tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life; and Cancer manipulates the setting while Taurus works more conspicuously on the projects they value. Cancer tends to be sentimental, and both partners prefer to enjoy each other rather than socializing with large groups. Taurus is an Earth Sign and Cancer is a Water Sign. They form a compatible union, as both Water and Earth are tangible, physical entities. Cancer, as a Water Sign, is born to nurture, and can nurture Taurean Earth the way rain nurtures Earth and helps crops grow. In turn, Taurus may have a more stable view of life, less prone to the emotional turmoil of Cancer. Taurus can help Cancer stabilize their tumultuous feelings. But too much of a good thing can turn to mud if both partners aren't careful. Taurus may tire of Cancer's mood swings, and Cancer may in turn feel that Taurus is insensitive to their needs. They need to work together to come to an agreement that satisfies both partners.
Taurus is a Fixed Sign and Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. Taurus has Fixed habits, and they won't change an opinion once it's formed. This can provide Cancer with an emotional rock, as Taurus is entirely dedicated to the relationship. In turn, Cancer can bring new inspiration to the relationship and start new projects that Taurus will enjoy taking over later. These Signs will work well together if Cancer can initiate ideas and Taurus can keep them going. The best aspect of the Taurus-Cancer relationship is the solid, steady, reliable team they make. Both Signs are dependable and nurturing, strongly oriented toward domestic life together. A mutual love of security and home makes theirs an ideal family relationship.
(Cancer and Scorpio)
When Cancer and Scorpio come together, the resulting relationship brings together two Signs of great emotional depth. Signs such as these often combine well, each partner's strengths balancing the other's weaknesses. These Signs have a strong sexual attraction, and when they are together the temperature in the room tends to rise! Cancer and Scorpio have a great deal in common which will keep their relationship strong. Cancer and Scorpio enjoy working together toward acquisition and create a comfortable living space: Cancer wants security and Scorpio wants power. Both of these Signs are about domestic goods and resources, including stocks, bonds and inheritances. They are both passionate and deeply emotionally touched by all aspects of life. They complement each other because Cancer and Scorpio are both concerned with the home and both have fierce loyalty to the family group. Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto. This combination is very intense, thanks to Pluto's influence, but it's a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. The two Signs coming together form the basic foundation of human relationships -- The Moon's nurturing love and Mars' passion.
The Moon and Mars go well together; The Moon is about growth and rebirth , and Mars is about the passion of romance. Scorpio is smoldering and intense, and Cancer is attracted to this intensity; in turn, Scorpio enjoys the adoration inherent in Moon-ruled Cancer. Cancer and Scorpio are both Water Signs. Both are very deep Signs and like the ocean, you can never really see the bottom. Scorpio and Cancer emotionally draw further and further into themselves, then suddenly roar back with intimidating force. Cancer and Scorpio are strongly loyal to each other, a product of their mutual desire for emotional security. But while Cancer is fixated on the family and home Scorpio is more focused on the undercurrents of life. Scorpio can show Cancer beyond the literal surface, while Cancer can teach Scorpio not to fear their emotions. Additionally, Scorpio appreciates the Cancerian practicality and Cancer enjoys Scorpio's jealousy -- it proves that Scorpio really loves and cherishes them. Cancer is a Cardinal Sign and Scorpio is a Fixed Sign. Once they have a common wish, it will be realized due to their efforts. However, if their opinions clash, look out! Cancer will be the first to instigate an argument and Scorpio the last to finish it.
It often appears that Cancer will get its own way and be the dominant partner, but that isn't always the actual conclusion. Sometimes Scorpio won't even agree to disagree, although they might pretend to give in. Both partners are not beyond using emotional manipulation to get revenge. It's important for these partners to discuss what is truly important to them so they can reach an equitable compromise. Once Scorpio and Cancer learn to trust one another and believe in each other, they are a pair that can achieve almost anything through sheer determination. The relationship will only fail if the two partners truly cannot overcome their opinionated, stubborn sides. The best aspect of the Cancer-Scorpio relationship is their powerful teamwork when they agree on their goals. When Cancer realizes that Scorpio is there for the long haul and that the partnership is emotionally productive, this relationship can blossom. Their mutual determination makes theirs a relationship of formidable strength.
(Cancer and Pisces)
When Cancer and Pisces come together, it's usually a positive meeting of spirits. Cancer is a self starter, and Pisces is easily energized by Cancer's ideas. Both signs are basically tolerant and sympathetic. Pisces can teach Cancer to appreciate creativity and spirituality . In turn, Cancer can help Pisces put their utopian theories into practice. This partnership can enjoy an amazingly strong and multifaceted emotional bond. Cancer admires and appreciates. Cancer is interested in material comforts and a rich home, and at times cannot understand the simplistic, spartanist attitude of Pisces. Their goals can be very different when it comes to their life's aspirations. Once they can understand and overcome this difference theirs will be a very rewarding relationship. Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Pisces is ruled by Jupiter and Neptune. When The Moon and Neptune come together, a beautiful spiritual connection is made. Both of these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Together, they represent an idealistic relationship which borders on the divine. Pisces is also ruled by Jupiter. This adds a masculine energy to the combination and represents philosophy, expansion and excesses.
The nature of this planetary combination offers a utopian relationship, drenched in emotional intrigue and a real celestial bond. However, Cancer must be careful not to cramp the floating Fish, as Pisces will suffocate under too many demands. Cancer and Pisces are both Water Signs. Generally they're very compatible, as Water is a tangible, physical entity and both appreciate this property. Pisces is born to connect mankind, and when they come together with Cancerian intuition and nurturing there is no stronger bond. In turn, Cancer has a stable view of life, but still understands the emotional ambiguity of Pisces. Cancer can help Pisces stabilize their ephemeral nature. Cancer may tire of Pisces' instability, and Pisces may in turn feel that Cancer is self-centered and negative. It will be easy for them to find a compromise. Cancer is a Cardinal Sign and Pisces is a Mutable Sign. Cancer wants to initiate while Pisces likes to float from project to project as the feeling takes them. Cancer needs to give Pisces the freedom to enjoy external interests. Pisces can show Cancer that completion is sometimes better than initiation, and that compromise without struggle can pay off.
Cancer and Pisces feed off of each other's energy well, and should be completely compatible in romance or business. The best aspect of the Cancer-Pisces relationship is their similar emotional natures. Both have a great capacity as teacher and student, and they complement and harmonize with one another very well. The overall empathy and commitment these two signs value in a relationship is what will keep the ties strong and long lasting between the Crab and Fish.
(Cancer and Virgo)
When Cancer and Virgo come together, it creates a strong and down-to-earth relationship that will only grow stronger with time. Both Signs are goal-oriented and disciplined. Cancer and Virgo are sincere and devoted to each other, and both have a strong sense of purpose. They admire each other: Virgo respects Cancer's quiet strength and dedication while Cancer appreciates Virgo's ability to adapt to a given situation. This is a relationship that may take time to develop, but it will get stronger. The Cancer-Virgo duo is based on common sense and strong principles. These partners can be materialistic, as they both enjoy the little comforts in life and in the home, but they are willing to work hard to succeed. Difficulties can arise if Virgo is too critical for Cancer's easily-bruised feelings; Cancer needs to understand that this is Virgo's nature and not a personal attack. Virgo might dislike Cancer's stubborn streak, but can learn to be patient and understanding of the Crab's nature. Additionally, Virgo enjoys indulging Cancer -- the Virgo commitment to service combines well with Cancer's love of nurturing, thus pleasing both partners. Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Virgo is ruled by Mercury.
Both of these Planets are close to the Sun, so they're always in the same neighborhood even though they are very different. The Moon is matriarchal; it's about cultivation and nurturing, both of which are important to Cancer. Mercury is communication, and it's androgynous -- Virgo will take on the form that it chooses. Virgo has a more intellectual approach, but is adept at figuring out other people. Because of this, Virgo can quickly understand and become the devoted and the domestic partner that Cancer loves, and they won't argue about fulfilling each other's needs. Cancer is a Water Sign and Virgo is an Earth Sign. Earth Signs are about possessions, and the Cancer-Virgo partners usually surround themselves with comfortable, well-crafted things. The Water Sign relies on emotion and intuition, making Cancer the fueling force behind the relationship in a quiet way. Along with their desire to be prosperous, their love of a fancy home life ensures that this couple will work hard toward this shared goal. Additionally, they are a practical pair, and they rarely have problems caused by one partner's lack of control. Cancer is a Cardinal Sign and Virgo is a Mutable Sign.
While Cancer tends to implement new ideas, Virgo likes to move from project to project as the feeling takes them. Because of their ubiquitous nature, it's easy for Virgo to find a place in Cancer's plans. Virgo can remember Cancer's plans, and eventually will make them produce something even if Cancer has moved on. The best aspect of the Cancer-Virgo relationship is their dedication to working towards the same goals. Both partners enjoy a stable home life and nice things, and Virgo likes helping Cancer achieve their goals. Their mutual interests make theirs a highly compatible relationship.
