European zodiac sign Cancer
Dates: 2013-06-22 -2013-07-22
The Four Elements and their Signs are distributed as follows: Fire(Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) Earth(Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) Air(Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) and Water(Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces). Since the elements help to describe the main character traits of a person, by including them in our horoscope, they help to get a more complete picture of a particular person.
The features of this element are cold and humidity, metaphysical sensitivity, feeling, perception. There are 3 signs of this quality in the Zodiac - a water trine (triangle): Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. The trine of water is considered the trine of feelings and sensations. Principle: the constancy of the internal with external variability. Water is emotions, inner peace, preservation, memory. It is plastic, changeable, secretive. Gives such qualities as uncertainty, daydreaming, imaginative thinking, softness of manifestation. In the body, it slows down the metabolism, manages fluids, the work of the endocrine glands.
People whose horoscopes express the element of Water have a phlegmatic temperament. These people have great sensitivity, are very receptive and impressionable, thinking, living more of an inner life than an outer one. People of the trine of Water are usually contemplative, they think both about their own good and about the good of their loved ones, however, at times they are indifferent, lethargic, lazy, with the exception of people of the Scorpio sign. Their external manifestation of feelings is not as pronounced as among the representatives of the trigons of Fire or Air, but they experience internal feelings with great strength and depth.
For people of the trigon of Water, businesslikeness, practicality, sobriety of thought, objectivity are not a strong point, but they do not hold fantasies, they have a rich and lively imagination, great internal and external strength, especially among Scorpios.
Thanks to the richness of their inner world and the refinement of perception, people of the water trine achieve the greatest success in professions related to the world of arts, they especially shine as artists and performing musicians. Water signs can also be great workers in service and food related areas. And Scorpios are also great detectives because of their subtle intuition.
The plans and moods of the people of the trigon of Water can change both from external circumstances and from the internal state of the soul. An insignificant detail, sometimes not even tracked by consciousness, can radically change their state of mind, which can lead to a complete loss of interest either in business or in a partner.
People of the element of Water have great spiritual refinement, are kind, polite, courteous, very pretty and attractive. They are usually not aggressive, with the exception of the Scorpio.
Of the signs of the trigon of Water, Scorpio is the strongest in body and spirit, the most meaningful, the most aggressive, not amenable to undesirable influence from the outside and exerting strong resistance to everything that his soul does not agree with. His patience, endurance, tenacity and perseverance are simply amazing.
The weakest of the zodiac signs of the Water trine is Pisces. The middle between hardness and instability is occupied by the third sign of this trine - Cancer. Although his spiritual sphere is also very receptive and impressionable, he is distinguished by noticeable perseverance, endurance and purposefulness, therefore, of all the water signs, it is Cancer who most often achieves success in life.
The feelings of all three signs of the trigon of Water are approximately equally strong and, as a rule, prevail over the mind. These people are always ready to make self-sacrifice for the good of a dear person, as they always have deep and pure feelings towards loved ones and loved ones. If they are not appreciated, they leave their partner forever, which is a real drama of life for them. They are looking for a partner who is worthy of them. Love and marriage are of paramount importance to them in life, especially for women.
An excessive tendency to daydreaming and fantasies, too vivid imagination can lead to an internal contradiction - a collision of their illusions with reality. If a person does not see a way out of this state, depression, addiction to alcohol, drugs, other stimulants, even mental illness can occur.
Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn. The cardinal cross is the cross of the will, the material basis of the universe, the new impulse of the idea. Its main quality is the desire for realization. It is always directed to the future. It gives dynamism, activity, striving for a goal. A person in whose horoscope the Sun, Moon or most of the personality planets are in cardinal signs will be a man of action. Such people are energetic and live in the present, for them the most important thing is the current moment in time and the feeling of “here and now”. Therefore, their emotions and sensations are distinguished by brightness and great strength. Their joy is as strong and sincere as disappointment, but any emotions are short-lived, because soon these signs plunge into a new life, into new sensations, start a new business. With age, their moods become more even and come to their usual businesslike mood. Obstacles do not frighten them, but only increase the pressure and desire for the goal. However, they do not have much strength to withstand the struggle for their goal for too long. Therefore, if the struggle with an obstacle is too long or the results of one’s efforts are not visible at all, then such an obstacle begins to seem insurmountable, which leads to disappointment, causes a breakdown and can even lead to depression. Also detrimental to them is the lack of dynamics and the opportunity to take the initiative. Such a person will always strive forward and upward, captivating with his energy. He is always in sight, noticeably rises above his surroundings, achieves his life goal and reaches a high social level.
This is a sign of the primary manifestation of the element of Water. It is under the control of the second luminary - the Moon, which largely forms the psychological and emotional internal structure of this sign. The Sun in the sign of Cancer creates the psychological structure of people of a juvenile nature. To some extent, this is youthful psychology and perception of the world. Water carries the functions of a passive and reflective principle, it becomes the cause of internal transformation, transformation, mutation and transmutation.
People born under the sign of Cancer are characterized by the desire for inner perfection, for introspection. Cancers have a subtle spiritual life, they are constantly changing internally, just as the Moon is constantly changing in the sky: it is born, grows, reaches its apogee, decreases, dies. Cancers are very easily vulnerable, this is the most vulnerable sign of the Zodiac. Therefore, in the form of protection against such increased vulnerability, Cancers need to organize a shell. They need it to protect themselves from the deep emotionality given to them by nature. And often, as a reaction to such emotionality, Cancers pose as a strong personality, although internally they are very weak. Cancers are a very feminine sign, receptive, “yin”, and they take more than they give, that is, they are dominated by lunar characteristics. Cancers are very fond of novelty, change, travel, they are rather restless people, and they are very attached to loved ones.
Of all the signs of the zodiac, Cancer is the most domestic, most family sign. The family in the hierarchy of values of Cancer is in the first place, they are attached to the house, to the past, they love flashback. If your Sun is in this wonderful sign, then your consciousness is often turned into the history of your family, culture, ethnic group, people. You most likely have very heightened psychic abilities. Ability to mediumship is also possible. Among Cancers there are many mediums and major occultists. It is known that Cancers love the society of their sign, which is not a general pattern: as a rule, people of the same sign communicate with each other quite tensely and quickly get bored with each other, but this does not apply to Cancers, they can communicate for a long time and fruitfully with each other.
You probably remember your past, your childhood in detail, you like to plunge into childhood memories, you have a wonderful intuition that helps you to preserve your individual essential core in all cases of life. You have a very subtle psychic nature, as well as a wide range of talents, a subtle perception of the emotional world. Accordingly, this gives rise to the talent of artists, writers, poets, psychologists in you. You reveal to us many secrets of the Soul, your own and someone else's, the secrets of our subconscious.
You will always achieve what you want, but you will not do it actively, but passively, waiting in the wings. You can be sure that Cancer will achieve its goal. It is useless to put pressure on you, because you do not tolerate it, you immediately go to the side, into the depths. Therefore, if someone is going to communicate with Cancer, you need to act indirectly, in a blunt way and not put pressure on him directly and frankly. Cancers can be seduced, as water signs are susceptible to all sorts of influences and seductions.
Crayfish, as a watermark, often work with liquids and it has been observed that a lot of Crayfish work in dairies. Among Cancers there are bartenders, especially at night, because just at night Cancers feel great. A low level in Cancers is the worst trait of any person. Deceit and deceit, stickiness. At their lowest level, Cancers are rogues, cynics, and very noisy.
What can be the dynamics of your development of this sign? Cancers are usually always based on tradition. For high Cancer, authority is everything that was in the distant past. They go to the present and future through the past. Retrospectiveness is a natural background for their perception, and, as a rule, what is new for them is the well-forgotten old, this is their credo. Thus, Cancers always rely on the past, on traditions, on the family, they sort of move backwards. If we talk about the problems of Cancers, then this is to harmonize their manifestations, which often occur in a distorted and perverted form. Often their will, the impulsive energy of Cancer, is in conflict with the emotional world, subconsciously they strive to have public, social authority, while not having sufficient grounds in their internal structure. Therefore, it is important for them from childhood to choose high guidelines, spiritual authorities for their development. For them, of course, an important problem is the formation of their inner spiritual world, the construction of a spiritual core, which we always talk about, which is the basis of the personality of each of us, but this is especially important for Cancers with their variability, impressionability. The Land of Cancer is India, a country intimately related to its deep past, a country of deep spiritual traditions. Among the Hindus we find subtlety, intuitiveness, connection with the element of Water, which symbolizes mystery.
