The
zodiacal sign of Cancer commences on June 21st, but for seven days,
being overlapped by the "cusp" of the previous sign, it
does not come into full power until on or about June 28th. From
this date onwards it is in full strength until July 20th and then
for seven days gradually loses its strength on account of being overlapped by the "cusp"
of the incoming sign "Leo". This
sign is symbolised by a crab and the ruling planet, the moon. The
cancerians have a fertile imagination and an emotional disposition
with a tendency towards moodiness and introversion. Their inclination
is towards an artistic medium and their minds are extremely
retentive. Due to extreme sensitivity, there may
be nervous irritability and at times, meaningless chatter which
compensates for their general insecurity and shyness. They are sentimental
but their personalities are extremely changeable, ranging from extreme
warmth to secrecy which is often mistaken for coldness. Cancerians
feel safe and secure surrounded by
family and comforts of home though they sometimes go through their
entire lives searching for it. They are industrious and hardworking
in all they undertake, but from the standpoint of chance or luck
they are seldom fortunate. With difficult aspects, they can be quick-tempered,
irritable and dishonest.
LOVE
LIFE
At heart they
are romantic and of a very loving and affectionate disposition.
Although of a deep affectionate disposition they are seldom demonstrative
and are wrongly considered cold and un-emotional. In their home
lives, however, they usually go through a great deal of trouble
and are seldom surrounded by great happiness, no matter how successful
they may appear in the eye of the world.
MATERIAL
SUCCESS They are
generally over-anxious in financial matters, and make great efforts
to gather in money. As a rule they have usual ups and downs in their
early life and it takes all their hard work to keep ahead but once
they get on their
feet they generally keep there. They are inclined to speculate,
so as to make money quickly, but in all gambles they generally lose,
whereas in business, they are as a rule most successful.
NEGATIVE
TRAITS
Cancerian is a psychic.
He has his intuition. It tells him when and how to hit. He is timid,
he shivers when committing a crime, but the iron is in his soul.
He could murder you for two bucks and weep plentiful tears at your
funeral. He is also capable of nagging you into suicide.
