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.
