Summer begins when the Sun enters Cancer, so
it's only natural that Cancer people want to nurture and protect all living
and growing things. In the proper setting, they're natural nest-builders
who use their intuition to figure out what people need, then cater to
them. Like their planet, the Moon, Cancerians are deeply mysterious and
changeable, yet highly intriguing. They are drawn to people who need them,
and they thrive on having people depend on them. That's when strings begin
to be attached.
Cancerians cling to the past as a symbol of the security
they need, and don't want to be forgotten. Because of this sentimentality,
it's hard for them to let go of their "children" once they've
outgrown Cancer's support system. You can try to stop these family-oriented
people from fussing over you, but it's probably not worth the guilt trip
they'll send you on if you hurt their feelings. When you look at it that
way, getting smothered in fabulous food and tender loving care can't be
all bad. To see how much influence Cancer really has, order a LifeQuest

| Cancer is a WATER sign |
| Water people are highly emotional. They interface
with their world with their feelings first, and then engage their
intellect. They have a "sixth sense" that helps them read into
people's motivations almost instantly. At times, their dreaminess causes
them to get lost in a fantasy world, and they can get disenchanted when
they find out that in reality things won't be the way they way they'd like
them to be. When their inner vision is used more productively, they are
highly creative to the point of being visionary. |
|
|
| Cancer people are CARDINAL |
| They're full of creative ideas. Count on them to
roll up their sleeves and dig in while everyone else is still standing around
wringing their hands. What they need to develop is the staying power it
takes to finish the things they start. |
|
| Zodiac Presence |
 The
Crab. This sea creature contains its tender core within a hardened shell,
and so it is with Cancer people. They tend to carry a little piece of home
with them wherever they go, and they try to pretend to be strong on the
outside, but on the inside, they are extremely sensitive. |
|
| Graphic Symbol |
 The
two intertwined spirals of Cancer's glyph resemble the crab's claws, and
they encircle that protected territory - home - upon which Cancer People
focus so much of their energy. |
|
| Color |
 Cancerians
like pale green and other pastel shades of watery colors like aqua and blue.
These colors help Cancer people feel like they are around water, which they
love. If they don't live near the sea, a lake or a river, pictures and other
decorations that evoke watery places keep them feeling calm and secure. |
|
| Gems |
 The
Pearl. This jewel from the sea harmonizes with the Cancerian caring nature
and makes them feel (happily) right at home! |
|
| Fragrance |
| Cardamon is famous for its ability to rid worry-wart
Cancerians of unwanted thoughts - a great cure for stressed-out stomachs. |
| Body Correspondence |
| Stomach and Breasts.
Cancer's mentality is focused on sustenance, so
these two regions are important to them. Many Cancerians complain of having
delicate stomachs and special dietary needs, and when they worry too much
(like they do all the time!), they get indigestion. |
|
| Number |
 Cancer's
number, Six, has to do with taking responsibility and protecting one's interests.

|
| Tarot Image |
| Depicted as a formidable carriage about to set
off on a journey, the Chariot represents the potential power inherent in
Cancer's soul. The charioteer holds the Holy Grail, and is protecting it
as fiercely as Cancer people protect everything with which they're entrusted. |

| How to Present the Gift: |
|
Cancer is the kind of person who is so thrilled that you remembered them, it almost won't matter what the gift you're giving them looks like. But if you want to go that extra mile, use paper that looks like it's intended for a little child and add trinkets to the wrapping that could eventually find their way into Cancer's treasure box full of personal mementos. Remembering Cancer with a thoughtful gift is one way to make a friend for life - just be sure you're ready to cope with years and years of smothering and mothering in return.
|
|
| Cancer is the sentimental homebody. Cancer loves anything related to the "nest" and has a nostalgic soft spot. Create a sense of childish wonder and delight for a Cancer, and you'll have a friend for life.
Cool Stuff From Our Partners:
Anything that helps Cancer get lost in his or her own magical childhood memories will become an instant treasure, like a Christopher Radko Snow Globe Bottle Stopper.
