General Personality

Born under the sign of Cancer, you are emotional by nature and quite sensitive, but 
this is covered by a hard and tough exterior, your own protective shell. You aren't 
very aggressive, but if you or those close to you are challenged, your self-defensive
system comes into play at once. The family unit is of prime importance to you, and 
you are naturally protective toward all members of it. You tend to be sentimental and
very nostalgic, and have excellent imagination. You tend to worry too much, and fear 
the abrasions and stresses found in competitive enterprises. Being averse to the 
responsibility for taking action, you tend to withdraw rather than make decisions. 
Learn to think for yourself, and avoid looking for family approval in your actions.
Your immediate reactions to situations will not be overly emotional, but rather more 
rational and logical in nature. This can be a good trait, but you may lack real depth
of feeling, or appear to do so. It could seem as if you lack real interest in and 
concern for other people. Maybe you need to make a conscious effort to get involved 
in other people's projects and to listen to what they have to say. You eagerly ask 
questions of yourself and others, but you must not fail to gain answers as well. A 
feeling of restlessness and a need for constant change might become a problem for 
you or those around you.
 
You have an abundance of energy, and are able to work very hard when interested in 
something. You have the knack for inspiring others to do things as well, and would 
be an excellent team leader. Young people can relate well to you because there is an 
element of youthfulness in your temperament, but you are inclined to take risks, 
which could be costly.
 
You might not be terribly good at coping with details, but your grasp of an overall 
plan will be terrific. You have considerable breadth of vision, and a fiery 
enthusiasm that you usually manage to maintain until the end of a project. You are 
basically optimistic and positive in outlook, and enjoy challenge, as well as taking 
adventurous risks. If anyone says 'You can't do this!', you will probably defy them 
to stop you!
 
You are deeply involved in trying to understand all things, and don't think that any 
problems are unresolvable if you are sufficiently informed. Your greatest worry 
should be that you may stop asking questions, implying that you know everything that 
is essential. Alternating moods of optimism and pessimism will occur, sometimes to 
the point that you will feel ecstatically happy about one aspect of life, but 
desperately coiserable over another. Use your practical common sense to counteract 
this.
 
 
Mentality & Communication
You have lot of imagination, and most probably a superb memory, but you can be a bit 
biased in your opinions, because your emotions often interfere with your ability to 
make logical appraisals. It is very likely that you are somewhat sentimental and look
back to the 'good old days' (even if you are still young!) with nostalgia. A certain 
shyness in your temperament makes you feel uncomfortable whenever you have to speak 
to a group of people. You have a lot to say, but you lack emotional defences against 
those who might disagree with you, so you tend to withdraw and sulk when verbally 
attacked.Your imagination often gets in the way of logical thinking, and this can 
make you somewhat absentminded. Reluctant to accept responsibility, you have 
tendencies toward escapism - your advancement may be impeded by a tendency to dream 
and scheme a little too much. You don't handle competition very well. You have a 
sensitivity to the thoughts and motivations of others, but sometimes you are so 
easily influenced that you are deceived - your imagination can play tricks on you.
 
You also have the ability to see through the surface of things, and get to the roots 
of an issue in a mental sense - you can grasp the most elusive and obscure subjects. 
You have good powers of concentration, and an easy understanding of logic and cause 
and effect. When your interest is caught, you will not stop until you have penetrated 
the matter fully. Naturally a little suspicious, you are not easily fooled by people 
scheming against you.
 
 
Social & Interpersonal Relations
You have a high level of emotion, and a strong need to express love. You also have 
the ability to tune in to your partner's real needs and feelings, and are willing to 
make great sacrifices for them. Being a dreamer who dwell on romantic imaginings, 
you may postpone taking a partner because you are waiting for the perfect individual 
to come along. You tend to worry over your partners and your close family, and you 
hate to be excluded from any situation your lover might be involved with. You can 
wear out your welcome unless you let those close to you do things without asking your 
permission first.
