The Cancer Character -- The Fourth Sign on the Zodiac

By Graham Flynn


Cancers are spirits of emotions and moods. Their feelings -- and inconsistencies -- the shifting climates of their inner globe type the landscape where they live. Cancers have a mood for each occasion. Feelings count with them more than thoughts, or logic, or even the evidence of reality. Cancers pay attention to their intuition, gut reactions, hunches, and their "take" on people, ideas, places, situations, and problems. It is a single of their most employed and useful gifts. They have great access to areas of truth we take into account psychic, and you can not argue with their results.

Their way of approaching the globe drives "logical" people crazy; it so defies reason and analysis. But their particular wisdom is some of the most effective evidence we now have that facts from intuition and feelings is also far more valid and sincere than all the graphs, tables, equations, and statistics those people much more "rational" signs put such stock in. Cancers love to experience and explore all the shades, hues, tempos, and sorts of this most elusive faculty.

Cancers can be with somebody emotionally in methods that bring companionship and comfort -- specially in troubled times. Cancers can make just the proper gesture, say just the correct soothing word -- or practically nothing at all when that helps the most, and show compassion for another's anguished, injured spirit to jump-start the healing technique as practically nothing else can do.

Cancers are sensitive. They feel and sense and absorb what they have to know through channels they can not describe in words ... but then words cannot convey empathy within the first place. If you are not a Cancer and you desire a small TLC in your life, for heaven's sake discover who in between your buddies IS ... and permit them do their thing!! Cancers are gentle, tender, kind, and "mothering."

But always, there is one more side for the story. And what is "sensitive" -- meaning receptive and responsive -- with just a twist with the emotional mood-wheel becomes "sensitive" -- meaning moody and very easily bruised. That is also part of the Cancer personality -- a roller-coaster ride of emotional highs and lows that can be tough on everyone, hardest of all on the Cancer person. Following all, he or she lives within the that changing world.

They is also virtually bi-polar, and for all the sure causes to get a relationship with a Cancer, that will make daily life with one very a trial. Cancers consider misunderstood a lot. They are not becoming paranoid or self-pitying. They are tough to comprehend. The special pain for Cancer is they're often so "public" -- so obvious -- in their extraordinary sensitivity. When their feelings are hurt, once they're in a sulk, everyone knows it. And typically they just must put up with it, too, simply because when Cancer wants to hear it's personal sad song, everybody has to listen.

But the reason for this resides in Cancer's other primal interest, and that is certainly the care, support, and perpetuation from the family. Cancer energy may be the purest type of maternal, nurturing, protective energy --not just that of mother and child, although that's definitely a large part of it ... but the care, feeding, maintenance, backing and defense of all its loved ones members.

Here, Cancer must read the messages from family members who sometimes can not say what's heading on with them, what they need, and what they feel. That may be exactly where the empathy comes in ... the amazing Cancerian capability to become with a loved 1 intuitively and closely, and know what they know, feel what they're going through, and be an ally within the case -- whatever that can be.

One does not need to be an infant or infirm to need these kinds of connection from time to time. We've all had moments where we just couldn't talk about what was happening with us ... but it was such a blessed relief to know we had been not alone in our confusion and pain. This really is why Cancers generally attract a large family members circle. They don't confine themselves to blood-and-marriage relations as soon as they define their kin.

They wind up caring for a crowd of pets, strays, friends, colleagues, the buddies of their kids and relatives, the friends of friends -- virtually anybody or one thing that requirements a helping hand. Hence the emphasis on protection, security, maintenance, and defense. Cancers care for those who cannot help themselves. Cancers take into account that their job. These mended souls come to be "part with the family" ... and Cancer's sense of responsibility to them is fierce and unshakable.

Cancers are possessive, loyal, and extraordinarily well suited for ones role they fill. Mothers-of-the-world (and Cancer men usually make fabulous "mothers") needs to be all of the items I've just described and more. There's a devoted, domestic, tribal high quality in Cancer, on display in men and women alike, which dissolves into sentiment, nostalgia, attachment to memories, respect for history and traditions, including a sense of connection that bridges the past as well as the future across the provide -- within the generational ties Cancer is determined to preserve.
