Description:
Those born under the
sign of Cancer, ruled by
the mysterious Moon, are
one of the zodiac's
enigmas. It is fair to
say that most Cancers
are a bundle of
contradictions.
Compassionate and caring
with friends, family and
lovers, yet they can cut
to the bone with their
jealous remarks and
ever-changing moods.
Endearingly eccentric on
one hand, and on the
other, insecure about
how others see them.
Like their astrological
symbol - the Crab -
Cancers can appear hard
and insensitive on the
outside. However, for
those of us who know and
love a "Moon Child", we
understand that deep
below lies a softness
and sensitivity that
makes them so very
special...
Just as the Moon goes
through many changes as
it moves from its new to
full phases, Cancers too
go through many new and
full phases of
experience. Life doesn't
stand still for this
sign, even if they
remain in one place,
because they live so
much in their internal
oceans of emotions.
Their link with the Moon
often makes it
impossible for them to
operate on an even keel
from day to day. Up and
down like the proverbial
yo-yo, most Cancerians
feel one way one minute,
then sometimes totally
different the next. But
this characteristic is
part of their charm.
Love and romance matter
more than anything else
to this sign (but this
occasionally shares
first place with having
lots of money in the
bank). No other sign
romances better, equally
though, no sign takes it
so badly when romance
turns sour either. But
with their changeable
natures Cancerians are
fascinating, mysterious,
stimulating and
extremely alluring. This
sign is one of the most
magic of all and once
their magic has reached
you, they are the most
beguiling companions.
After all, isn't the
Moon the most talked
about and romantic
galactic identity?
If you were born on
the first or last day of
a Sun sign, in
astrological terms you
were born on a cusp. If
that's the case, you
will probably benefit
from reading your own
Sun sign and the Sun
sign that ends or begins
right before or after
your date of birth. For
example, if your birth
date is 22 December,
your Sun sign is
Capricorn, but you
probably have some
Sagittarian traits as
well
