Cancer ~ The Crab

22nd June ~ 22nd July

After the giddy time of the Gemini we need a rest! the Zodiac now brings us the Water Sign Cancer.

As the people of this sign are ruled by water we see a caring and gentle soul who prefer to go unnoticed than be the centre of attention. Sensitive and traditional, these people love history and art and are often quite creative. Family is of the up most importance to these little darlings, and they always try and keep their family as tight a unit as is possible especially in our modern society where the family isn't appreciated as much as it once was. Cancer will love inviting everyone round and cooking up a lovely meal for one and all to enjoy. Naturally caring and nurturing this person will go to great lengths to make sure friend's and family are happy and well and if they are not then he/she will make it so.

To an outsider one may think that the Cancer person is rock strong and may not notice that they are really so sensitive, like their crab counterparts they have a strong outer armour and keep things well locked up inside to protect their deep sensitivity and emotions.

Their negative side, as there invariably is to us all, is that they can be a touch clingy. Family is so important to them they don't like letting go at all and when it's time for the children to fly the nest, if they move too far away from home, they may find themselves on the rather unpleasant and more moody side of this otherwise floaty creature.
