If Your Birth Sign Is Cancer... (6-21 to 7-22)

You are very likely to have

Remarkable intuition.

What makes you extremely nurturing

Is your caring disposition.

 

You react emotionally

To everything, but sometimes notions

Might be instrumental in making

You a prisoner of your emotions.

 

You are attached to home and hearth,

But it isn't at all bizarre

For you to make a comfy, homey

Atmosphere wherever you are.

 

Because you're apt to cling to the past,

Sometimes you will find it hard

To let go of things in your life.

You have to be on your guard:

 

If you are not careful, you'll

Find your life in complete disorder

When you're no longer the avid collector

But instead the consummate hoarder.

 

Even regarding relationships,

It's hard for you to let them go.

Once you've reconciled that issue,

You'll have reached a new plateau.

 

Your sensitivity

Reflects the circumstances around you.

Being needed and helping others,

Are two things that solidly ground you.

 

Emotional security

Is, of course, your principal goal.

Just don't stoop to manipulating

Others in order to be in control.

 

A strong will and determination

Guide you to help others in need.

But if you feel too insecure,

Criticism will make you bleed.

 

If you feel at all threatened,

Your ambitions will remain hidden

Until you're somewhat confident

That all threats have been overridden.

 

You are deeply concerned about

What other people think of you.

So building your self-confidence

Is one of the best things you can do.

 

Only when you are comfortable

Will you open up completely,

Although your guarded nature will

Tend to make you do it discreetly.

 

You love feeding family and guests

Even if you aren't the best cook.

You love to add your personal flair

And hate to always go by the book.

 

Since you absorb so many feelings

From your surroundings, you must retreat

To a quiet place at times;

If not, your engine will overheat.

 

Don't let your moods get out of hand,

And work on being more direct.

Then the world will be your oyster--

More so than you'd ever expect.
