People
with Cancer rising tend to be less vital than average,
sympathetic, compassionate, passive, nurturing, receptive, protective,
retentive, changeable, psychic, sentimental, tenacious, timid, quiet,
sensitive, acquisitive (pack-rat), and moody. Just like the crab
Cancer represents, you may have the habit of looking ahead and behind
you at the same time, not fully wanting to face the future head-on and
always worrying about the past and what might be sneaking up on you
from behind, causing you great worry. You go through life in a
curious sideways motion, never going simply directly forward. You are
sensitive and you retreat into your shell when you feel threatened.
Your feelings can be easily hurt, even when no slight was meant and
you can take things much too personally.
You
enjoy travel, but you absolutely need to know that you have a
home base waiting for you to come back to. Security is everything
for you in life. Physical security comes with a comfortable base
of operations and emotional security comes from all your possessions
and attachments that have sentimental value to you. In fact,
that's why you keep everything - because of all the emotional
value and significance. Once you have latched onto something
or someone, you do not tend to let go easily. You respond to
life through feeling, not thinking. Your moods go up and down
just like the tides. Spiritual lesson to learn: Discernment (distinguish
boundaries). The Moon rules Cancer so the Moon will be important
in your chart.
