IV. Cancer "And next the Twins with an unsteady pace Bright Cancer rolls."

Cancer, spiritually interpreted, means equalizing, hence HARMONY, which is indeed very good as contradistinguished from chaos. In its application, we find that this sign symbolizes love.

You have the power to bring order out of chaos. The swriling vortex of time and space are under your control. Love is the key to your astral powers. When you act out of love the universe quakes.

Hearth and home will be your your lifelong glory. Those who would disturb these things are your nemesis. Stay balanced, stay focused and above all spread your love around.

Cancer the Crab

Cancer is a Water Sign. Here we find people who are tried and true, who cling to tradition as though they were part of it.

See: Zodiac Elements - The basic nature and temperament of your zodiac sign.

Yet their moods and even their purposes may become as changeable as the sign's ruling planet, the Moon.

Everything old is new again

This self-contradiction is understandable, when recognized as part of the individual's innate nature. These people are home loving, fond of family life and domestic tranquility but they also enjoy travel and adventure. They love the past and sometimes practically live in it, which accounts for the way they seek the new, yet always come back to the old.

Persons born under this sign are very sensitive, though they frequently do not show it. Argument wears them down, criticism hurts them and crablike, they crawl into their shells. Though strongly conservative, they are fond of amusements and social life. These people are frequently vivacious and are humanitarians as well, devoting themselves to worthy causes.

The forth sign of the Zodiac

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 to boot.

The Crab

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.
