Cancer zodiac sign has the symbol of 'The Crab'. One of the basic
characteristics of a Cancerian is that he is very prone to mood swings, which
are matched by changing emotions. At one point of time, you may have seen him in
a typical party mood, enjoying himself and laughing at other people's jokes. He
may come across as the most extroverted member in the entire group. However,
another time, he may be completely introverted, sitting in a corner and lost in
his own world. This single personality trait can help you in identifying a
Cancer very easily.
A Cancerian will never run behind fame and publicity, but if he ever gets it, he
definitely knows how to bask in the limelight. In a melancholic mood, he can
become the coldest person on this earth and drown you in his bottomless
depression. Cancerians are prone to pessimism and usually hide their fears
behind a veil of humor. They love to dream and for them, sky's the limit. When
he cries, it is because he is deeply hurt from inside. A harsh glance or a rough
tone can easily break Cancer's vulnerable heart.
When he is hurt, he will either cry his heart out or retreat into a silent
spell. However, it is rare that he takes revenge from the one who has hurt him.
If a Cancer retreats to his shell, you can be sure he will become completely
unreachable. He won't pick his phone, answer the doorbell or even check his
mail. Another mood that can engulf a Cancer is a snappy one, or you can say a
crabby one. He will hate the world and snap at anything and everything. However,
you can be sure he is not angry with you and will soon be his normal self again.
While in a conversation, the facial features of a crab will change a number of
times, displaying his numerous moods. He has a vivid imagination and at times
will drown you in his moods too. Each and every experience affects him and gets
engraved in his memory. Cancerians remember everything life has taught them and
are true patriots. Past intrigues them and they love to collect antiques, old
treasures and ancient relics. They are the perfect keepers of secrets and people
automatically confide in them.
However, their own thoughts and secrets are strictly off limits for everyone. A
typical cancer will never discuss his personal life with anyone. Compassion and
intuition gel perfectly with the Cancer profile. He seldom judges people, just
soaks up what comes his way and reflects the same. He will never ever give up an
object he cherishes, be it a gift from a lover or the worn jeans he loves
wearing. Cancerians have a soft heart; they care about people and are quite
helpful. However, they wait to see if someone else is helping.
If the answer is yes, they will sit back and let the other person be the savior.
In case no one comes forward; they will be there to rescue you. A Cancer person
may come at the last minute, but he will save you just before you are about to
drown. He is not selfish, it just that he never wants to be impulsive. But, he
will save you nonetheless. Before he makes any move, a Cancerian must be sure of
strong backing. Without it, he hates to venture on his own. He does not forget
mistakes easily, especially his own.
He will brood over them and take a long time before moving ahead again.
Cancerian loves, rather reveres, his home and his loved ones. Too much is not
even enough for him. He needs more, more security, more love and more care.
Insecurity may lead him to depression and weaken him physically. However,
Cancerians have this amazing quality of self-healing. All they require is
happiness, optimism and laughter in large doses. They are prone to negative
thoughts and are always preparing for the unseen future.
The maxim 'Old is Gold' fits perfectly to a Cancer, whether it is the case of
people or things. He is also very good at making as well as managing wealth. He
has a large heart and will share willingly if his loved ones are in need.
However, wastage, especially of food, is sure to tick him off. All the
sensitivity of a crab is hidden beneath his hard shell and it will take much
care and love to bring him out of his shell and close to you! |
