Cancer
June 21st - July 22nd

Cancer, the moon rules you, your symbol is the crab and your element is water. You are an enigma to those who don't know you well, with your ever-changing moods, so like the constantly changing moon. Like the moon you are also quite luminous, you are naturally a real star, whether famous or not, because you don't need the fame others may crave, as you will always shine brightly in the lives of those around you. Your charisma and special charm, which you deploy when you wish, ensure you star status and you really do enjoy pleasing others. But oh how you do love your home! A Cancarian may, well have coined the phrase ‘there’s no place like home.' You love your shell home so much, that no-one can easily prize you from it and you spend a great deal of your time well dug into that sandy seashore home. Perhaps this is because your greatest desire is for permanent safety and security in love and finances; but despite what your instincts tell you, a crab's shell is not always the safest place for you. Your frequent retreats from life, hiding alone, can often mean that life can pass you by if you don't learn to find some crabby guts, strength of purpose and shuffle sideways a little faster. As tenacious as you are at clinging to your protective shell, so too you are tenacious in all of life and very resourceful, you can even be truly ingenious when you're inspired..

Cancer Constellation
You can also be kind and have been known to consider others. But Cancer, you are so moody - one minute you're warm the next ice cold, like bath taps, and the shock of your total coldness after a gush of warmth can come as a very nasty shock for those to whom you are close. You change daily just like the moon your ruler. This can make you seem enigmatic, but to those with insight, you can make it very easy to read those crab runes. Predictably you change like a weathervane, each new gust of wind can have you scuttling off in a new direction. You change so fast that even you can be left wondering which direction you really want to take, so you often leave it to the winds of fate to push you, rather than do anything scary like making a decision. You long for stability and lack it in your emotions which are a storm tossed sea and mean you can easily suddenly change from lover to adversary. Caution is your watchword and like your namesake, the crab, you often move so slowly that no activity can be seen at all, when, in fact, a maelstrom of emotion rocks most moments of your days. Sadly fears can rule your life so you think it is so much safer to stay static in your shell. But a moving crab is in less danger than a still crab who may get lost in the sands through the very inaction you think is safest.

Ouch but you are fierce when you feel threatened! The slightest, smallest perceived insult can have you nipping away at people with your sharp claws, lacerating without a qualm, with blade-sharp remarks, to the very same people to whom, five minutes before, you were loyally and affectionately devoted. But if anyone were to crack open that hard, cold, perma-shell of yours, they may find softness inside to surprise them. Even nippy Cancer can be gentle and even sometimes, despite often being insensitive, you can be sincerely caring. You are a crustacean of contradictions.
Dry your eyes over that weepy movie Cancer, you are emotional; both men and women will shed tears over misfortunes in their own or friend's lives. Yes, you can be very loving when you feel safe enough to let go of your safety zone, that rock you cling to on the beach of life, inaction. In fact your way of loving is unlike any others, it is pure romance, dazzlingly seductive and can mean you certainly can sweep romantic prospects off their very surprised feet. This may be because romantic love, (along with money) is a priority for you, and you are so touchingly idealistic and ambitious about love. You really are most happy when you are doing crab-like dances of worship at the foot of your new romantic idol or settled in a secure romantic relationship. This can be troublesome for the crab who so craves romantic stability and yet often fears the commitment needed to procure it, just as he fears any big decision in life. Cancerians are too often motivated in your choice of partner by the thoughts of others, unlikely to rely on your own perceptions, as you are always so terribly concerned with how others see you. This is a big insecurity of yours and you often do things that you really don't want to, just to fit in and get acceptance from others. Beware of this and when it comes to the important choices in life, do try Cancer, to go by your own ideas, you are the one who will live with your choices. In love you do try to dominate and control, which can obviously lead to friction for you, as you are anything but impressive when trying to lay down the law with a frantically waving claw.

Cancer, you are the most wonderful of the zodiac signs, you are perfectly magical! You believed that didn't you? You would, Cancers are easily flattered and blind when it comes to seeing through others. In fact it might be said that Cancer seems to always be staring into rock pools and no matter what happens you are more fixated on your own reflection, than on those around you, so you don't see. But Cancer you can be so endearing and so loveable that when you show your warmer self, when you dare to come out of that shell, you can get away with almost anything because to know you, is often to love you and appreciate the special things you can offer.
Physically, you are usually above average in stature, with a long legged athleticism. You also often have fine blue or green eyes, that seemingly see through all and a generally attractive and pleasing appearance.
