CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

 A Cancerian (or Cancerette) generally has a whiteness of skin much like the soft white light reflected by the moon, his ruling planet. For this reason, he does not seem to tan very well, preferring to glow mysteriously in the shade rather than bask in the light of day.

 Like his symbol, the crab, the Cancer­ian appears to be tough and hard-shelled on the outside but is actually soft and mushy inside. So don't let that show of aloofness and sophistication fool you. He can be very maudlin, especially with tearjerker movies or sentimental love songs such as "Bom Free" and "Like a Virgin." Again, like the proverbial crab in the grass, he can be "touchy", with a propensity to snap unnecessarily at the slightest provocation. He is the archetypal fuss-budget who tends to oversensationalize things when hurt or apprehensive.

     On the positive side, he is naturally sympathetic, guarding and protective towards people he likes, while towards rare and interesting things, he will display a natural instinct for collecting. He will be good at catering, nursing, mothering, sailing and. gathering of interesting but useless objects of no commercial value.

 Exceptionally crabby most of the time. This is because he will find himself surrounded by opinionated turds who think they know the answers to every­thing. In this kind of situation, it is advisable and practical to resort to one course of action: give them hell! And then retreat, for he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.

     Digestive troubles, such as gastric ulcers and various other forms of gastroenteritis, will be frequent. He is, there­fore, advised to adopt a sensible diet for philosophical reasons and indulge in tension-relieving activities like sky-diving or marriage annulment.
