* money, business, response to public need
* dreams, the psychic, telepathy

Elemental Quality
Cancer is the cardinal sign of the zodiac. It can be liken to a safe harbor in which boats can take shelter from the dangers on the sea of life. Water finds its own level -- it settles. The metaphorical harbor is the way Cancer provides a safe and organized place for human activity, setting each ship in its allotted place.

Spiritual Goal
To learn how to take a balanced view of things.

Secret Cancer
Inside anyone who has strong Cancerian influences is a person who was very shy when young and who still tends to use a hard outer shell in defense against what are perceived as hurts from other people. The most vulnerable part of the Cancerian personality is an inner fear of nameless dangers that often reduce a wonderful dream to a pessimistic worry. The fear is becoming lost in the dark of outer space. This indefinable fear of insecurity is often what drives the typical Cancerian personality to invest much time and effort in activities which will enhance a feeling of security and self-preservation.

Ruling Planet and Its Effect
The Moon rules the zodiac sign of Cancer, so anyone whose birthchart has a strong Cancerian influence will absorb and accurately reflect every emotion that is experienced. In astrology, the Moon's cycle of waxing and waning is a metaphor for the cycle of changing moods of the Cancerian personality, who can experience periods of wondrous elation and of crabby depression. The Moon is also associated with oddities and, when in the mood, Cancerian humor can be quite crazy -- almost lunatic. Cancerian humor provides some of the best comedy in the world of entertainment, because it is always based on an accurate observation of human nature.

Cancer At Home
If a person has a personality that is typical of those born with a Cancer sun sign, home is place which must offer complete security, and he or she will have a tendency toward the characteristics listed below.

Typical Behavior and Abilities when at home, a Cancerian male or female:
* is capable of most kinds of home improvement jobs
* can cook and will keep a well-stocked kitchen
* feels safe and secure and so can relax

* spoils all visitors
* will hoard anything seen as potentially valuable

Cancer as a Parent
* may worry too much about their offspring
* will protect and support the children
* may be over-possessive
* will enjoy loooking after and playing with the babies
* will do anything to help and encourage the children's creative development
* remembers every birthday and anniversary

Cancer At Work
At work, the person who has a typical Cancer personality will exhibit the following characteristics.

Typical Behavior and Abilities a typical Cancerian at work:
* is there to make money
* takes work seriously and works hard
* will take responsibility
* responds to affectionate appreciation

* expects his or her people to be neatly dressed
* takes work seriously and does not like frivolity
* has one aim: to make money
* drives a hard bargain but is fair
* rarely forgets anything
* generously rewards hard work

Cancer and Love
For a Cancerian, love thrives when there is a combination of constant affection with a healthy bank balance and substantial assets. A Cancerian in love will have many of the characteristics listed below.

Behavior when in Love the typical Cancerian:
* will rarely make the first move
* fears he or she will be rejected
* will retreat, deeply hurt, at the first sign of ridicule or criticism
* will repond to honest warmth and affection
* can become tenaciously attached to the loved one
* is a romantic at heart
* will put the loved one first in all things

* to be loved forever
* to have his or her cooking appreciated
* to work hard for money and security
* the family to come first in all things
* to be needed as a tower of strength and refuse
* unshakable loyalty and devotion

Positive Factors
Friends are, in many ways, regarded as family possessions themselves and are treated as such, with loving care, protective hospitality, sensitive consideration, and great tenderness. Although some friends may come and go, friends from younger days are the most precious.

Negative Factors
When he or she is hurt by a friend, the Cancerian anger may last for a long time and the friend may be abandoned. However, if the friend is an old friend, then the emotional attachment will finally lead to reconciliation. Cancerians do tend to set their own standards by the progress their friends are making.

Cancerian Likes and Dislikes:

Likes
* anyone who loves his or her mother
* sentimental and family keepsakes
* gourmet food
* shopping trips
* history, especially family genealogy
* any demonstration of affection such as flowers
* a birthday card on the right date
* the company of other people
* a calm working atmosphere
* physical contact

Dislikes
* any tiny criticism of the home
* having to handle a crisis
* pressure to take part in conversation
* anyone who refuses their cooking
* people who forget names and dates (Cancerians have excellent memories themselves)

Love & Blessings

Your Ruling Planet is Venus. Your Element is Earth. You are More than a Sun Sign The relative positions of all the bodies in our Solar System to each other and their positions within the 12 Zodiac Signs, flavour your basic character that is initially set by the Ruling Planet. An Astrologer draws your individual Birth Chart, by placing at the exact position in the Zodiac, at the time of your birth - the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto. Some Astrologers will also take into account a variety of Asteroids. I can not overemphasize how this combination of influences, positions and inter-relationships, shift what a professional Astrologer considers not only for your Character at time of birth but how the chart of past, present & future moments influence your behaviour and reactions to circumstance, what the public think is predicting the future. This is in fact more like forecasting the weather but does have the advantage of totally predictable planetry positions. Your 'Stars' or Sun Sign column as popular in magazines and web sites, use ONLY the Suns basic position in the Zodiac, it can be uncannily close at times but is only the first of many considerations when it comes to understanding you, your motives, how you react in different situations and of great importance to you - how the predictable positions of planets will influence your future. The interpretation of that comes down to the technical skills and intuitive abilities of the Astrologer. Taurus THE BULL - the sign of Practicality Taureans are earthy and practical, and are motivated by finding comfort and security. They also have a highly creative and sensual side and delight in earthy passions, rather than vague idealistic concepts. They are great planners and deal with life at their own steady pace.

Get More from Life By indulging in your love of nature, sensual and simple pleasures and having some lucrative financial investments. Ideal Careers Psychologist, accountant, singer, financier, beautician, chef, architect, art dealer, property developer, surveyor, stockbroker, antique dealer, florist Advice for Partners & Friends A good idea - ask your Taurean to cook you a fabulous meal and add the finishing touches to your decor. Not so useful - not to rush a Taurean and expect a response right here, right now. We love you at your Best ... When you are reliable, steady and can offer good advice based on sound principles. A Taurean friends is loyal, loving and knows instinctively how to make you feel your best. You are also fantastic when it comes to business and have a strong sense of what money is all about.

Practical, reliable, patient, persistent, solid, determined, industrious, strong willed, sensuous, affectionate, warm hearted, trustworthy. .... Difficult to Live With! Sudden change is alarming and unwelcome to Taureans. Planning and slow change over a period of time is much more suited. If presented with many different options then Taurus will dig in their heels and stay put. When push comes to shove, their can erupt the most powerful temper. Sun Signs You are most Compatible with Leo - extremely loving. Taurus - well suited. Capricorn - terrific partners. Pisces - charming together. Sun Signs You are not so Compatible with Gemini - not a success. Sagittarius - rocky like a shipwreck. Aquarius - far too stubborn. Your Opposite Sun Sign is Scorpio

Answer 3

Cancers are nurturers, so they are motherly(in the case of girls) and sensitive. Forgive but never forget is one trait. They get along great romantically with scorpios, tauruses and pisces. They like home as their haven and cooking is a pastime. Their in tune with emotions so they are good at sympathy. Oh and they hide in their shell when it suits their mood. Like i hide in a coat of cruelty when i'm in my shell. Cancers are stubborn and will get their way, emotional manipulation is one of my many cancerian skills :-p. One thing though, they care so much about everyone else, they overlook themselves so when they can, they'll be selfish. Cancers love money too, they like to life in luxury.

Answer 4

Cancers are givers....
They totally give all of themselves to whatever situation they are in: whether it be work, friendship or relationships.
They will be at your side if you ever need them (even though they may complain about it the entire time...)
They are loyal, loving, friendly, funny, somewhat shy at first, sarcastic, hardworking, have great smiles, usually shorter in figure.

They can get depressed very easily as they are somewhat overemotional, very sensitive and have a "why me" approach to life when they are feeling down.
They are usually homebodies--love to be at home, cooking, cleaning or whatever it may be. They can be good parents, but tend to be quite strict and a wee bit bossy.
They have great senses of humor, a very devoted attitude toward life...love pets...sensitive souls, love to have fun....and are the ultimate romantics.
They tend to be a bit skeptical and negative, but all in all make great friends and are fun to know.
