CANCER, to love and cherish is thy task,
The loving parent, guardian, guide and friend,
Thou shalt be one who gives to all who ask
Thy readiness to succour and defend.
Thy tenderness of heart, oh guard it well,
And ever give thine intuition play,
So may'st thou lift another out of hell
And help another mortal on his way.
Most thin of skin and sensitive of mind
The world shall deal thee many a crushing blow,
And wounds that fester caused by words unkind,
Which only those most easily hurt can know.
Oh Cancer, if thy lesson thou would'st learn,
Seek not from life's hard buffetings to hide,
From thine own path of duty do not turn
But take both pain and beauty in thy stride.
Seek to protect, but never to possess,
Dare to accept and not to heed the pain,
So towards Heaven thy soul progress,
And finally its full perfection gain.

Cancer (June 21 - July 21)
Cardinal Water. Your ruling planet is The Moon.
You are getting better and better at enjoying the current moment, Cancer. Riding the wave of your creative breakthrough near the end of last month, you are more thoughtful now regarding where you are headed in your life at this time, and in making your day-to-day activities into a form of walking meditation. You are transforming in your idea of what you want to be. It's all about evolutionary growth for you right now, and taking some faltering and painful but ultimately joyful steps up your spiral road. You are looking at your world differently, seeing exciting new possibilities and reaching for the inner message.
As the month begins, you are entertaining some new ideas of who you want to be when you finally grow up. This month represents a very special time for you, when just living on the earth demands your full attention, perhaps in terms of scarcity of resources, and yet when you have never been so committed to some concept of service to ends larger than yourself. You are proving it true these days that what glitters is not the true gold. The Full Moon that comes with the first Monday of December pulls you to an internal state of mind, and lends you a mystical place to stand from which to contemplate eternal rather than temporal wisdom. With the Last Quarter Moon of the following week, taking place on Tuesday, December 12th, you must make your earthly stand for values consistent with your high ideals, and for communication that reflects your deepest truth. This is when the rubber meets the road for changes that you have desired but not fully actualized, and you may have some hard choices to make at this time. Whichever way you decide, things do have a habit of working out the way that they are supposed to especially now. The New Moon of Wednesday, December 20th, is an energetically compelling one, bringing new vision to your plunge into meaning and sealing the deal on big changes that have been in the works for some time now. The future is like a doorway, ever opening before you, but the past is trickier. Sometimes it seems possible to go back there but you really can't; or at least that is not an option that you can savor.

Comparison with the Cancer symbol, the Crab:
Cancer the Crab SymbolA crab is able to walk or run sideways. Similarly, Cancer natives can sometimes "move about" in life, in a figurative sense, in an indirect manner. The crab's body is covered by a carapace (shell). Cancer natives are self-protective and sensitive, and often retreat into themselves when hurt. Crabs are able to resist changes in the environment, thereby protecting themselves from hostile elements in various habitats. Similarly, Cancer natives are thought to avoid too much change, and to be on the defensive. Crabs have "complex behavior patterns" (1). The inner world of Cancer natives is thought to be rather quirky and complex. Some crabs "conceal themselves by decorating their bodies with plants and animals" (2). Cancer natives tend to try to blend in with their environments, preferring not to make a big splash in life. Cancer's glyph, or symbol, may represent the breasts as a symbol of the nurturing qualities of the sign.

We are lovely! Very caring, sympathetic people. We are generous and sensitive to peoples moods, but this can also mean that when we pick up on the mood that is around us, we can sometimes take that on board too. We are natural homemakers, and are never happier than when in our own environment. We can be moody and possessive, never knowing quite when to let go. If a situation gets too much for us, or we have been hurt, then we retreat into our shell. We sometimes look like we have a tough exterior and can handle anything but like the crab, our inside is very soft.

Cancer The Crab
Keywords: gentle, conservative, feeling, nurturing, defensive, contemplative.
Cancer, the fourth Sign of the Zodiac, is all about home. Those born under this Sign are 'roots' kinds of people and take great pleasure in the comforts of home and family. Cancers are maternal, domestic and love to nurture others. More than likely, their family will be large, too -- the more, the merrier! Cancers will certainly be merry if their home life is serene and harmonious.
Traditions are upheld with great zest in a Cancer's household, since these folks prize family history and love communal activities. They also tend to be patriotic, waving the flag whenever possible. A Cancer's good memory is the basis for stories told around the dinner table, and don't be surprised if these folks get emotional about things. Those born under this Sign wear their heart on their sleeve, which is just fine by them.
The mascot of Cancerians is the Crab, and much like this shelled little critter, Cancerians are quick to retreat into their shells if it suits their mood. No wonder these folks are called crabby! For Cancer, it's not that big of a deal, though, since they consider this 'shell' a second home (and they do love home). The flip side of this hiding is that shell-bound Crabs are often quite moody. Further, in keeping with their difficulty in sharing their innermost feelings, it can become a Herculean task to pry a Crab out of its secret hiding place. What to do? Give the Crab time -- eventually these folks will come out to play again. When they do, they'll be the first to say so, in keeping with the Cardinal Quality attached to this Sign. It's said that Crabs are first to laugh and first to cry, so you can bet they'll fill you in. That shell, by the way, isn't the only tough thing about Crabs.
These folks are tenacious and strong-willed and like to get their way. If their well-documented kindness and gentleness doesn't do the trick, however, they're not above using emotional manipulation to make things happen. If that still doesn't work, they'll just go back to their shell and sulk, or find a way to get back at the source of their pain, since Crabs can be rather vindictive. That said, any self-respecting Crab would tell you that they are ultimately motivated by protecting their home and loved ones, a most noble goal.

Cancer THE CRAB - the sign of the Protector
Like a crab, Cancerians have a hard exterior and a sensitive and soft inner core. Their view of life is coloured by their feelings and emotions and their relationship with loved ones and family. Cancerians have a strong sense of history and ancestry and have powerful connections to the past and their memories.

Advice for Partners & Friends
A good idea - to honour a Cancerian's family traditions and know they they are not always going to show their feelings when hurt.
Not so useful - to be insulting and insensitive about their mothers, as a Cancerian will hang on and bear a grudge for ages.
We love you at your Best ...
Cancerians are wonderful to be around and can be great company, amusing and able to tell stories and jokes. They have an instinctive understanding of human relationships and are great to help sort out problems and be a shoulder to cry on. Sensitive, kind and sympathetic, with an absolute urge to nurture and protect people around them, particularly the family.
Kind, sensitive, sympathetic, imaginative, maternal/paternal, solicitous, protective, cautious, patriotic, tenacious, shrewd, thrifty, resourceful, a good homemaker.
.... Difficult to Live With!
Cancer has the ability to take an emotional wound and allow it to fester, without the desire to necessarily talk through and be open. Sometimes, Cancerians will expect the the person who inflicts emotional wounds to know exactly what ails them and a relationship can turn into a guessing game punctuated by long periods of silence and sulking, or a retreat into their shell. Watch out for the mood changes.

They ARE "cancer the crab". They "hide" in their little "shells", are tempermental, often have little self confidence or are overly confident.
