The Cancerian character
is the least clear-cut of all those associated with the signs of the
zodiac. It can range from the timid, dull, shy and withdrawn to the
most brilliant, and famous Cancerians are to be found through the
whole range of human activity. It is a fundamentally conservative
and home-loving nature, appreciating the nest like quality of a
secure base to which the male can retire when he needs a respite
from the stresses of life, and in which the Cancerian woman can
exercise her strong maternal instincts. The latter tends to like and
to have a large family. `Nest like' is an appropriate adjective for
the Cancerian home, for its inhabitants tend to favor the dark,
mysterious but comfortable type of house which has something of the
air of a den about it, a place which belongs to the family rather
than existing as a showcase to impress visitors.
That is not to say that the
Cancerian is unsociable, just that for them there is a time to
socialize and a time to be solitary, and this is part of the
apparent contradiction in their nature. Outwardly they can appear
formidable - thick-skinned, unemotional, uncompromising, obstinately
tenacious, purposeful, energetic, shrewd, intuitive and wise,
sometimes with a philosophical profundity of thought verging on
inspiration. Their intimates, however, may see a very different
character, one with a sympathetic and kindly sensitivity to other
people, especially those they love. They are able to identify with
the situations of others because of the keenness of their
imaginations. They are often over-imaginative and prone to fantasy,
sometimes trying to shape their lives to fit some romantic ideal.
They are appreciative of art and literature, and especially of
drama, where the spectacle and ebb and flow of action and feeling
particularly excite them. They may themselves possess considerable
literary, artistic or oratorical talent. Their sharp ears and talent
for mimicry can sometimes give them success on the stage, though
their tendency to be emotional may make them overact. Interestingly
- because they give the impression of being down-to-earth - they are
often fascinated by the occult and are more open to psychic
influence than the average. If they can reconcile the personal
conflict of their urge to be outgoing with the reserve that causes
them to withdraw into themselves, then at best they can inspire a
generation, especially the youthful part of it, by their idealism. A
job in which they can express this, and in which they can do well,
would be as a leader in a youth organization.
In their personal relationships
they are mentally a mixture of toughness and softness, often
emotional and romantic to the point of sentimentality in their
fantasies; but in real life and in marriage, their loving is not so
sentimental but tenaciously loyal. Even if they have affairs (and
they may do so, for the male in particular is open to sensual
stimulation), their first loyalty remains to spouse and family, of
whom they regard themselves as the protector. Both the Cancerian man
and woman love unreservedly, giving much and asking little in return
- in fact, one of the most important lessons they have to learn is
how to receive gracefully. They are too easily influenced by those
they love and admire, and swayed by the emotion of the moment. They
are also loyal friends, the negative side of their faithfulness
being clannishness, the narrow patriotism of "my country right
or wrong"; and closing ranks in suspicion and coldness toward
outsiders.
Cancerians have a retentive
memory, particularly for emotionally laden events which they can
recall in detail for years afterwards. they are strongly governed by
childhood memories and since they live intensely in the past in
memory and in the future in imagination, a chance meeting with
someone for whom they had an unrequited love, even if they thought
they had conquered the feeling, will easily rouse the emotion all
over again.
The Cancerian has many potential
faults. They can be untidy, sulky, devious, moody, inclined to
self-pity because of an inferiority complex, brood on insults (very
often imagined), yet are easily flattered. They can be tactless and
difficult yet, because they are normally ambitious, they will curry
favor by floating with majority opinions, outlooks and fashions of
the day. As a result they often change their opinions and loyalties
and, indeed, their occupations, and lack stability. They are easily
corrupted and, because they are convincing romanticizers, can make
successful confidence tricksters. Their romanticism in another sense
make them ardent supporters of causes, for example a football team
with whose heroes they can identify in a world of fantasy.
Their abilities fit the Cancerian
for a wide range of occupations. As they are interested in what
people are thinking and able to judge what they can safely be told,
they can be good journalists, writers or politicians, though in this
last capacity they are more likely to remain in the background
rather than attain prominent positions of power. They may, indeed,
change their party affiliations. They can serve in other departments
of public affairs, especially those which involve looking after
others, for example in any kind of service from welfare and nursing
to catering - their own love of comfort and good living makes the
Cancerian an excellent chef or housekeeper. They sometimes have a
penchant for trade or business and are often successful as a captain
of industry. This is because they are excellent organizers with a
good sense of value and economy which they may combine with a flair
for inventiveness and originality. The romantic side of their
natures make them enjoy grubbing about in places where exciting
discoveries may be made (old stamp collections in attics, etc.), and
if they can do this professionally as a secondhand dealer or
specialist in antiques, they will be happy. More common occupations
which suit some subjects of Cancer are real estate broker, gardener
and sailor.
Physically they are average to
below average in height, with a fleshy body and short legs in
comparison with the rest of them. Their hair is usually brown, their
faces round, their complexions pale, their foreheads prominent,
their eyes small and blue or gray in color, their noses short,
perhaps upturned, and their mouths full. They sometimes walk
clumsily. |

The rabbit is one of
the most delicate animals among all 12 animals. Rabbits are usually
kind and sweet and of course, popular people. Nobody ignores them,
for they are good company and know how to make the best of
themselves.
A rabbit's home is always a
beautiful one cause Rabbit people are famous for their artistic
sense and good taste. They are also usually well-dressed. Go check
out your Rabbit friend's closet, I bet you will find many expensive
and beautiful clothing there.
But even though they are popular
and loved by their friends and family, rabbit people are also
pessimistic. They are conservative and insecure, and that explains
why most of the them don't like changes.
Call them cautious or call them
timid, rabbit people will undertake nothing before they have weighed
the pros and cons from every angle. And that is probably why rabbit
people are doing well in their work. And yet, unless they abandon
their conservative nature, and become more aggressive, they will
probably live a very normal, and average life.
They can be great partners in
relationships. Romantic and sweet, faithful too, rabbit people never
lack of suitors. . Male rabbits are sometimes picky, and perhaps not
a family man. And female rabbits should probably spend less time
admiring themselves in front of the mirror and spend more time with
friends |
