![]() |
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. |
