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?
