About Your Sign...  
The Cancerian character is the least clear-cut of all those associated with the signs of the zodiac. It can range from the timid, dull, shy and withdrawn to the most brilliant, and famous Cancerians are to be found through the whole range of human activity. It is a fundamentally conservative and home-loving nature, appreciating the nest like quality of a secure base to which the male can retire when he needs a respite from the stresses of life, and in which the Cancerian woman can exercise her strong maternal instincts. The latter tends to like and to have a large family. `Nest like' is an appropriate adjective for the Cancerian home, for its inhabitants tend to favor the dark, mysterious but comfortable type of house which has something of the air of a den about it, a place which belongs to the family rather than existing as a showcase to impress visitors. That is not to say that the Cancerian is unsociable, just that for them there is a time to socialize and a time to be solitary, and this is part of the apparent contradiction in their nature. Outwardly they can appear formidable - thick-skinned, unemotional, uncompromising, obstinately tenacious, purposeful, energetic, shrewd, intuitive and wise, sometimes with a philosophical profundity of thought verging on inspiration. Their intimates, however, may see a very different character, one with a sympathetic and kindly sensitivity to other people, especially those they love. They are able to identify with the situations of others because of the keenness of their imaginations. They are often over-imaginative and prone to fantasy, sometimes trying to shape their lives to fit some romantic ideal. They are appreciative of art and literature, and especially of drama, where the spectacle and ebb and flow of action and feeling particularly excite them. They may themselves possess considerable literary, artistic or oratorical talent. Their sharp ears and talent for mimicry can sometimes give them success on the stage, though their tendency to be emotional may make them overact. Interestingly - because they give the impression of being down-to-earth - they are often fascinated by the occult and are more open to psychic influence than the average. If they can
reconcile the personal conflict of their urge to be outgoing with the reserve that causes them to withdraw into themselves, then at best they can inspire a generation, especially the youthful part of it, by their idealism. A job in which they can express this, and in which they can do well, would be as a leader in a youth organization.
  
In their personal relationships they are mentally a mixture of toughness and softness, often emotional and romantic to the point of sentimentality in their fantasies; but in real life and in marriage, their loving is not so sentimental but tenaciously loyal. Even if they have affairs (and they may do so, for the male in particular is open to sensual stimulation), their first loyalty remains to spouse and family, of whom they regard themselves as the protector. Both the Cancerian man and woman love unreservedly, giving much and asking little in return - in fact, one of the most important lessons they have to learn is how to receive gracefully. They are too easily influenced by those they love and admire, and swayed by the emotion of the moment. They are also loyal friends, the negative side of their faithfulness being clannishness, the narrow patriotism of "my country right or wrong"; and closing ranks in suspicion and coldness toward outsiders.
 
Cancerians have a retentive memory, particularly for emotionally laden events which they can recall in detail for years afterwards. They are strongly governed by childhood memories and since they live intensely in the past in memory and in the future in imagination, a chance meeting with someone for whom they had an unrequited love, even if they thought they had conquered the feeling, will easily rouse the emotion all over again.
 
The Cancerian has many potential faults. They can be untidy, sulky, devious, moody, inclined to self-pity because of an inferiority complex, brood on insults (very often imagined), yet are easily flattered. They can be tactless and difficult yet, because they are normally ambitious, they will curry favor by floating with majority opinions, outlooks and fashions of the day. As a result they often change their opinions and loyalties and, indeed, their occupations, and lack stability. They are easily corrupted and, because they are convincing romanticizers, can make successful confidence tricksters. Their romanticism in another sense make them ardent supporters of causes, for example a football team with whose heroes they can identify in a world of fantasy.
 
Their abilities fit the Cancerian for a wide range of occupations. As they are interested in what people are thinking and able to judge what they can safely be told, they can be good journalists, writers or politicians, though in this last capacity they are more likely to remain in the background rather than attain prominent positions of power. They may, indeed, change their party affiliations. They can serve in other departments of public affairs, especially those which involve looking after others, for example in any kind of service from welfare and nursing to catering - their own love of comfort and good living makes the Cancerian an excellent chef or housekeeper. They sometimes have a penchant for trade or business and are often successful as a captain of industry. This is because they are excellent organizers with a good sense of value and economy which they may combine with a flair for inventiveness and originality. The romantic side of their natures make them enjoy grubbing about in places where exciting discoveries may be made (old stamp collections in attics, etc.), and if they can do this professionally as a secondhand dealer or specialist in antiques, they will be happy. More common occupations which suit some subjects of Cancer are real estate
broker, gardener and sailor.
 
Physically they are average to below average in height, with a fleshy body and short legs in comparison with the rest of them. Their hair is usually brown, their faces round, their complexions pale, their foreheads prominent, their eyes small and blue or gray in color, their noses short, perhaps upturned, and their mouths full. They sometimes walk clumsily.

Possible Health Concerns...
Cancer governs the chest, breasts, elbows, stomach and digestion, womb and female reproductive organs. Cancer, which can
affect any part of the body, is sometimes said to have taken its name from this sign, which can therefore afflict its subjects with
imperfections anywhere. This is incorrect, however, the derivation of cancer being the Latin cancer meaning gangrene as well as
crab. Nevertheless, Cancerians are said to be liable to breast cancer and to suffer from pleurisy, dropsy, piles and varicose veins.
The excitability mentioned above can lead to weak digestion, gastritis and other stomach ills, and there is a tendency to coughs
and weakness of vision.

Advice (good or bad)

Problem that may arise for you, and their solutions........
As with all sun signs, they all have unique traits to their personalities. When these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will
arise. However, with astrology  the problem can be examined and the proper solution assessed based on the sun sign characteristics.
As a Cancerian, they may see things below that really strike home. The solutions below give amazing results. If they find themselves on the receiving end of the negatives below, that is because they are failing to express the positive.

PROBLEM:  Being oversensitive and something of a clinging vine may cause you to harbor imaginary hurts and slights
and this can make for highly unsettling conditions with your spouse.

SOLUTION: They must be sure that the love they are expressing is not simply their need to hang on to someone for moral support. If
necessary, they should seek professional help in order to overcome this negative, clinging aspect of their personality.

PROBLEM: One of the biggest personality flaws the Cancerians have, next to neediness, is the habit of being so self absorbed that they sometimes fail
to notice what others are doing and accomplishing in their lives, they feel shut out and jealous if a family member has more success
than they do.

SOLUTION: They should make a special effort to change this in themselves by forcing themselves to rejoice over their good fortune and
when they do this they will find that it will eventually become a habit and  they will be happier for the change.

PROBLEM: Their inability to take orders without getting angry or upset may be another one of their problems and this one could be
very serious as it affects their chances of earning a good living for themselves and/or their family, since they are quite apt to walk away
from any job where they feel 'picked on'.

SOLUTION: They should try keeping an ear out and find out how the ones who have been on the job for any length of time get along with the
boss and coworkers. If they follow their lead or simply decide that they will simply keep quiet and follow orders they will soon see how
well they can be really liked by all concerned.

PROBLEM: They also have a problem with putting things off until the last minute which upsets their family and friends. This also has
a tendency to make an unpleasant matter even more unpleasant when they procrastinate.

Solution: They should make taking care of the business at hand their prime objective such that they do not have all those worries in
the back of their mind and thereafter they will find it more pleasant to be around people. They will also find that life goes smoothly for them from then on.

Some more interesting facts about your sign.........
The crab is a nocturnal water creature that is well equipped with its massive claws to defend itself and survives very well in the
'wilds' of the underwater world in which it thrives. They have also been prized for food throughout the ages. Crabs come in a variety
of 'styles' and species and are found in most of the oceans of the world, as well as in many inland waters. Being a sea scavenger,
the crabs help mankind by keeping our waters cleaner.

The color for Cancer is all the shining colors of the moon SILVERY
Their birthstone is the beautiful, translucent, PEARL. The Pearl can be all the silvery colors of the moon and not just white. The
pearl takes on its silvery, shimmering, colors from the color of the linings of the mollusc (oyster) in which it is grown. A beautiful,
perfect pearl can sell for as much as $250,000.00, so speaking of a 'pearl of great price' becomes readily understandable. This
precious stone can be harmed if subjected to hair spray, acids, perspiration, and some types of cosmetics.
