Cancer is the fourth sign of the tropical zodiac. The key phrase for Cancer is "I feel". Cancer's sign is the crab. It is a highly creative sign of deep feeling, with a powerful psychic sensitivity held in check beneath a tough, shell-like exterior.
Cancerian people are at times very complex, appearing to have the strength of a hero and at other times displaying the weakness of a child. This is due to a combined solar-lunar influence. Just as the Sun reverses its direction in this sign, stopping in the northern sky and beginning its trek southward, the crab often walks sideways upon the approach of danger.
Cancerians have an indirect approach in dealing with others than direct confrontations. They are more apt to resort to emotional appeals. This is because they react emotionally to everything they experience in life. Many succeed in life because of their genuine concern for the welfare of others inspires loyalty as well as cooperation and trust.
Cancerians also make good business people, combining artistry, originality and drive with an understanding of financial matters, marketing and the needs of the public. They can trust their intuitions, but need to generate a faith in themselves which will not be dampened by gloom or depression over what, in retrospect, may appear to be relatively insignificant problems. Cancer has the natural ability to be diplomatic and to speak out when necessary. Home and family ties will be significant in life and developing a secure, comfortable home environment will be a boon to their state of mind, irrespective of marital state.
Cancer's Ruling Area is - Breast
Cancer's astrological symbol is Crab, so when threatened, people with Cancer prominent in their chart tend to armour themselves by withdrawing into solitude. When upset, they usually use food as consolation, which in turn, results in obesity, food allergies and intestinal dysbiosis.
We see that when Sun in Cancer, reflects a weakened physical constitution. Externally, it rules the breasts, epigastric region and the elbows. Internally, it rules the stomach, digestive organs, upper lobe of the liver, thoracic duct, pancreas, blood serum and womb. The entire act of digestion with peristalsis and chymification is ruled by Cancer. Indigestion, stomach ulcer, flatulence, jaundice and liver torpidity and mammary affections are common. Be on guard against lymphatic stasis.
In structure, Cancer rules the blood serum, axillae, bladder and albumen. People with Cancer active in their charts are subject to coughs, gas,indigestion, gallstones, general problems with stomach, liver and intestines, plus emotional disorders such as depression, hypochondria and hysteria.
