Personality Traits of Cancer

Our birthday greetings to all of you born under the sign of Cancer ­ one of the most caring and nurturing, but also emotional and moody signs of the Zodiac! Being a Water sign and also "ruled" by the Moon, they seem to respond to some kind of emotional tides! They are often involved with counseling, guiding and helping others. They use their moods almost as a form of communication. They have a sentimental attachment to everything around them including memories and love matters. However, they are basically self-oriented and like to get things their way. Being a Water sign, they use moods to control others and emotional blackmail "after all that I have done for you..."! All water signs play games (including Scorpio and Pisces), but Cancer stays in them longer. Cancers need lot of emotional security and affection.

They usually have managerial abilities and tend to grow on people. They are naturally intuitive and take the time to understand others. Although gourmet cooking, family and home are all important to them, this depends on other planets in Cancer (especially Venus).

Those with Venus in Cancer can be somewhat clinging and only need to be involved with those who do not mind too much affection. Venus in Cancer is compatible with Venus in Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces.

Some of the people born under the sign of Cancer are Gina Lolabrigida, Natalie Wood, Phyllis Diller, Bill Cosby and Princess Diana.

Cancer: Your sensitive and sensual appeal is displayed in Jan. and Apr. 2007 as Venus brings about an extremely romantic side to your already naturally nurturing personality.  Do not hesitate to let these feelings encompass you.  Allow yourself to seek out some new objects of beauty for yourself or your home.  Although Mars keeps you less sulky and moody in Jan., Feb. and Apr.2007, make sure to use this new found energy in a positive way instead of getting bossy.  2006 has been a truly rewarding year for you.  Take advantage of the contacts you made and solidify your goals for 2007!

Luck Element in 2007: You have a very positive attitude throughout 2006 and you can expect many opportunities (often from foreign countries and involving travel) for your career and personal life. Use this lucky period to establish all your foreign contacts and for any import/export opportunities from foreign countries. Your positive attitude will help attract good luck because people will be drawn to your optimistic nature now. You will again have this transit towards the end of 2008 till mid. 2009.

Basis of Your Luck Element and Opportunities in 2006:
Jupiter represents your ability to be in the right place when opportunities develop and your need to expand your horizons:

Jupiter is in the sign of Capricorn from mid Dec. 2007 till 2006. This indicates that many new opportunities will develop for you and you will especially benefit from travel, foreign lands, foreign people and foreign cultures. This is a very positive transit for self-growth and you will become more confident and positive. Be ready for new opportunities developing especially while traveling or while talking to foreigners.

This is particularly a good time for writers, publishers, philosophers, teachers, and those involved with import/export business.
