Cancer
The name
derives from Latin, meaning literally, the crab.
The ruler of the fourth sign of the zodiac is the Moon, the Crab, its symbol.
The glyph is often seen as representing the breasts, indicating the area of the
body ruled by Cancer. This is also seen as two crab claws, intertwined in a way
which represents the dual nature of the Cancerian personality.
Personal Traits
The Cancerian character is the most perplexing of the signs. Cancerians
can range from the timid, shy, dull and withdrawn to the brilliant, friendly and
famous. Cancerians run the entire gamut of human emotion.
Cancerians
possess strong paternal and maternal instincts.
Fundamentally conservative and home-loving by nature, they appreciate the
security of a home-base in which to retire when the stresses of life become too
much to bear.
Cancerians
have an unemotional demeanor, appearing uncompromising and obstinate. This is the facade they use to mask an insecure nature. Their
intimates, however, may see a different character, one with sympathy and
sensitivity to others. In their personal relationships they are a mixture of
toughness and tenderness. Emotional, romantic and sentimental on one side, and
tenaciously possessive and loyal on the other side. Even when they have affairs,
their first loyalty is to their partner and family.
They are rather close minded and opinionated. They have a retentive
memory, and rarely forgive slights and hurts. With a tendency toward chronic
complaining, a Cancerian will never let you forget an error. They are driven by
their emotional nature, and, in this respect, can be the best and the worst of
friends.
The overall nature of Cancerians is deeply emotional. Although private
and reserved, they possess sensitivity and sympathy. Rarely will a Cancer stand
on pretense. What appears to be a front is nothing more than a protective shell.
Within this tough armor often resides an intuitively compassionate individual
yearning for a deep exchange of love and understanding.
Positive Traits
Cancerians are
strongly influenced by childhood memories, and have a tendency to live in the
past. Cancer is a tenacious, purposeful, energetic, shrewd and intuitive type.
Sometimes wise, with a philosophical view on life. They are over-imaginative and
prone to be a victim of fantasy. They have a flair for the dramatic, and may
possess literary or artistic talent. They tend to absorb their environment and
have a talent for mimicry.
Main positive
traits: Nurturing,
protective, traditional, sensitive, understanding, caring, intuitive, tenacious.
Negative Traits
The Cancerian can be sulky, devious, moody, and inclined to self-pity.
They respond foremost to the urges and dictates of their feelings. One of the
interesting contradictions in their nature is that they are prone to a sense of
personal inferiority on one hand, and on the other they believe their views,
opinions and behavior to be impeccable, and beyond question or criticism. By
nature, very giving and selfless, they need to be aware of falling into the role
of martyr in certain situations.
Main negative
traits: Self pity, moody,
clinging, manipulative, overly-emotional, insecure.
Profession
Their
abilities fit them for a range of careers.
Always interested in what people are thinking, they have an intuitive sense that
makes them good journalists, writers or politicians. They do well in the
public sector, and may serve in anything from welfare and nursing to catering.
Their love of
good living and comfort is personified in many excellent chefs and
housekeepers. Cancer has a penchant for trade or business. Being superior
organizers, with a sense of value and economics, they are often successful in
industry. The Cancer's love of the past make some of them great history buffs,
and others, astute antique and curio collectors. Other suitable vocations are
real estate, and the service fields of gardening and caretaking. True to their
native element, many Cancers are involved in marine activities.
Lucky stone
Ruby
So what gives a
ruby that lovely rich red color? The answer, trace amounts of chromium.
Interestingly pure corundum is not red, but a colorless, triagonal crystal with
a hardness between that of emerald and diamond. Ruby is a term for red gemstones
derived from the mineral corundum, formed primarily from aluminum oxide.
