Cancer. Zodiac

The sign of Cancer

Element: Water

Quality: Cardinal

Simbol: The crab

Planet: Moon

The Cardinal Water of Cancer reaches its maximum height and growth peaks. Its task is to bring the produce, generate the power of bringing the newly formed fruit swells with its fluid. The water actively surges upwards and outwards from past to future.

It’s the warmest and longest light days are. While the Sun rides high in the day, the Moon hangs low in the dark of the night, exerting its most powerful pull on the tides and currents of life. The marriage between Heaven and Earth and Earth is pregnant with her bounty, the produce that will nourish and sustain living beings over the winter months to come. Not for nothing is Cancer called the sign of the mother!

The myth of Cancer

According to Greek mythology the giant Crab took part in a battle between a terrible the multi-headed Lernaean Hydra and Heracles. Hera, who had always hated Heracles, sent forth Crab to aid the serpent. He grabbing onto Hercules’ toes with its claws. But Heracles smashed the Crab with his foot after it pinched his toe. Hera, grateful for Crab’s heroic effort and courage, gave it a place in the sky.

Another interpretation of the Cancer constellation is that an enormous Crab called Crios was blessed with immortality, he protected Poseidon’s daughters, the sea nymphs. When Typhon was terrorising the Gods of Olympus, Crios sought help in protecting his brood in the form of a giant squid called Vamari. But Vamari or the Vampire Squid ate the missing sea nymphs. This led to a battle won by Crios, although he was badly hurt. Because he was immortal he had evermore to live in pain. Poseidon relieved him by placing him in the sky as Cancer.

The symbol

The astrological symbol of Cancer is the Crab. His round body depicts the moon and means wisdom, which manifests itself in this constellation in the form of disinterested love.

Cancer: «I feel!»

The middle of summer is the time of Cancer. Cancerians are very delicate and vulnerable creatures. For a normal existence they need an atmosphere of love and understanding. They are characterized by frequent changes of mood. The Moon, which protects this sign, makes them dreamers, although this does not mean that they are cut off from real life. Money and material things are essential to them. It is no coincidence that in the horoscope they are often portrayed as thick – shelled crabs. They usually mask their gentle soul beneath impenetrable armour and try to project a strong personality.

They posses a character which is secretive, and they have a keen, practical mind. They are usually very patient. However, do not try their patience, because they have an excellent memory, and they never forget.

Cancerians have a sensitive nature, with a highly developed sense of intuition. They are sentimental and touchy.

Communication with Cancers is often accompanied by friendliness. They need time to think and they cannot be rushed.

Cancerians are homely people: they are fond of a warm, cozy environment and they enjoy tasty food.

In love they are faithful and devoted partners, and are affectionate and caring. They do not forgive betrayal.

Cancer – Man

They have a good sence of humor. By nature they are secretive and prefer to shy away from serious questions. In one person two absolutely opposite qualities can get on. Despite their romanticism, they are surprisingly rational and practical. And whatever they do, they always try to take advantage of it.

Tom Cruise was born July 3, 1962 in the United States. Besides him, his parents had three more girls. When he was 12 years old, his father left his family, and Tom was the only man in the family. Soon he began to think about where to get money to help his mother. He was happy any work. With the optimism inherent in Cancers, he never got discouraged and soon achieved great success. Despite the tough world of Hollywood, he is still very vulnerable and sensitive, like all Cancerians who can not bear ridicule. All his life, Tom Cruise suffered because of his short stature, his inability to have children. When he married Nicole Kidman, it seemed, he finally found a woman who understands him. They had been lived together for ten years, adopted two wonderful children. Their marriage could be called happy, if not for the stormy scandal that erupted around Nicole. She was pregnant after returning from her parents from Australia. Tom could not forgive her treason. With the inherent sensitivity of Cancers, he hammered into his «shell», from which she could no longer pull it. However, affection and a gentle attitude can work wonders, and soon his heart thawed in hung Penelope Cruz.

Sylvester Stallone is american actor, was born on July 6, 1946. After graduating from high school, he went to study in Switzerland. There he decided to become an actor. With the inherent Crawfish unerring intuition, he wrote a script about the boxer «Rocky» and starred in the title role. This was a risky step, as the American public was accustomed to another superman image. Clearly Stallone did not fit the standards, because he had small growth. But the film brought him a resounding success, and soon he became one of the highest paid actors. However, recently created by him the screen image began to irritate him. For Cancers, great importance is to be in tune with your inner world. A huge role in his life is played by the family, his children. He is proud of them more than my films. He need a lot of free time, because he want to be with them. Stallone also has two sons from the first marriage, which lasted 11 years. But the second marriage with Brigitte Nielsen was very unfortunate. The former wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger, apparently, repulsed his desire to marry for a long time. But for him, as for Cancer, the house is still the most important place. Here he rests with his soul, does his favorite thing, he paints and creates sculptures.

Cancer – Woman

She is «Lady – Perfection». Cancer – woman has no flaws practically, but she tries to find them in herself all ways. Apparently, it is not easy to be perfect. She has a mass of complexes with which she is very difficult to cope. Therefore, if you are nearby try to caress and calm her.

Gina Lollobrigida was born on July 4, 1927 in a poor family with many children. Like all Cancerians, she was very worried about her miserable situation and tried with all her might to break out of poverty. In 1947 she took part in the beauty contest «Miss Rome», and although she did not become a winner, she managed to attract attention and receive an invitation to Hollywood. Her most famous film was the film «Fanfan-tulip», in which she plays along with Gerard Philippe. But the house and family are too important for Cancer, and when she had to choose between filming with the famous billionaire Howard Hust and her husband, she chose the latter. The career didn’t matter most in her life. True pleasure she could only be obtained from her actions. But she parted with her husband later and carried her love to her son Milko, named after her father. Cancerians have many talents, and when in her cinematic activity came a break, she was able to realize herself in another field of art. And although the real artist she did not become, teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts did not pass without a trace. She became a wonderful photographer, surprisingly delicately feeling the world.
