Here is everything
relating to Matt's astrological sign, Cancer.



PERSONALITY:
Cancer is symbolized by the Crab. You're deeply emotional and intuitive,
and your top concern is family. Something of a homebody, you prefer
to stay in rather than go out on the town. You can be moody, drawing
into your protective shell if things get too intense around you.

IN
DEPTH
Cancer, the
fourth Sign of the Zodiac, is all about home. Those born under this
Sign are 'roots' kinds of people and take great pleasure in the
comforts of home and family. Cancers are maternal, domestic and
love to nurture others. More than likely, their family will be large,
too -- the more, the merrier! Cancers will certainly be merry if
their home life is serene and harmonious. Traditions are upheld
with great zest in a Cancer's household, since these folks prize
family history and love communal activities. They also tend to be
patriotic, waving the flag whenever possible. A Cancer's good memory
is the basis for stories told around the dinner table, and don't
be surprised if these folks get emotional about things. Those born
under this Sign wear their heart on their sleeve, which is just
fine by them.

The mascot of Cancerians is the Crab, and much like this shelled
little critter, Cancerians are quick to retreat into their shells
if it suits their mood. No wonder these folks are called crabby!
For Cancer, it's not that big of a deal, though, since they consider
this 'shell' a second home (and they do love home). The flip side
of this hiding is that shell-bound Crabs are often quite moody.
Further, in keeping with their difficulty in sharing their innermost
feelings, it can become a Herculean task to pry a Crab out of its
secret hiding place. What to do? Give the Crab time -- eventually
these folks will come out to play again. When they do, they'll be
the first to say so, in keeping with the Cardinal Quality attached
to this Sign. It's said that Crabs are first to laugh and first
to cry, so you can bet they'll fill you in. That shell, by the way,
isn't the only tough thing about Crabs. These folks are tenacious
and strong-willed and like to get their way. If their well-documented
kindness and gentleness doesn't do the trick, however, they're not
above using emotional manipulation to make things happen. If that
still doesn't work, they'll just go back to their shell and sulk,
or find a way to get back at the source of their pain, since Crabs
can be rather vindictive. That said, any self-respecting Crab would
tell you that they are ultimately motivated by protecting their
home and loved ones, a most noble goal.

Cancerians are ruled by the Moon, the Great Mother of the heavens
in ancient times. Here on Earth, this is manifested in the Crab's
maternal instincts and desire to protect home and hearth. This may
appear smothering at times, but that's the Crab for you. The Moon
is associated with fertility, too, a quality which is most pleasing
to Cancerians. The Moon is also the ruler of moods, and Cancers
have plenty of those. These folks can cry you a river if they're
so inclined, and they usually are. They can be overly sensitive,
easily hurt and prone to brooding. Even so, Crabs find it easy to
be sympathetic to others and are quick to show their affection.
Their intuition is also a great help to them, especially in times
of stress.

The Element associated with Cancer is Water. Like the rolling waves
of the sea, the Crab's emotions can make quite a splash. These folks
tend to pick up on things and bring them in, with the outward result
ranging from sentimentality to possessiveness. Crabs need to resist
the temptation to become selfish or to feel sorry for themselves,
since this behavior won't help. On the bright side, Cancers are
good with money (although some consider them too thrifty), probably
because they value a sense of security. Crabs are also quick to
help others and tend to avoid confrontation. In keeping with their
nurturing bent, those born under this Sign are a whiz with food.
A hearty picnic in the park is heaven on earth to most Crabs.
|
| Cancers
often find that a robust workout session is just the tonic for their
touchy feelings. Team sports are always nice, since they offer a
sense of community; water polo should be elemental to aquatic Crabs.
What are their team colors? The Moon is silver and white. Since
Cancerians have a tendency to be lazy, however, they may need someone
to push them out the door. When it comes to the game of love, eager
Crabs are devoted, romantic and able to get things going on their
own. Crabs are wise to listen to their gut, since this Sign rules
the stomach.
|
|
The great strength of the Cancer-born is the tenacity with which
they protect their loved ones. These folks don't ask for much, either:
a comfortable home and sense of peace about sums it up. It's that
nurturing instinct which makes Cancerians a pleasure to be with.

Books:
The sensitive and caring Crab will enjoy cozying up at home with
a good tear-jerking romance novel, or a book that evokes warm
childhood memories. While sitting in front of a roaring fire with
a cup of hot cocoa, you'll be reading something by Maeve Binchy
or Louisa May Alcott

Chocolates:
Draws it out to make even the smallest box last for a month.
Food:
Cancer is the homebody that, as a Water Sign, is looking for comfort
food. The Crab is an excellent cook, though, so making delicious
meals with their favorite flavors -- like basil, garlic, mint,
nutmeg and vanilla -- is no problem.
Movies:
The comfortable Crab gets much pleasure out of hunkering down
on the couch to watch a miniseries or a family or history movie.
You’re likely to have Roots, The Thorn Birds or Shakespeare in
Love on video so that you don’t have to leave the comfort of home
to go to the theater.
Music:
The sentimental crab likes listening back to the music of the
good old days. Folk masters like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie,
Johnny Cash and Cat Stevens are all perfect for curling up and
getting lost in memories of the good old days. For a more modern,
folk-rock twist, try Tori Amos or Elliott Smith.
Restaurants:
A homebody at heart, the Crab enjoys a good home-cooked meal or
take-out. Due to your delicate tummy, you may not be too inclined
or advised to try different cuisines.
Sports:
As a Water Sign and aquatic creature, the Crab will be happy to
make a splash in team sports played in or on the water like water
polo, sailing or ice hockey.
Travel:
Bahamas, Canada, Finland, Orlando, Florida, Thailand, USA, Vietnam,
Washington, D.C.
Television:
The Crab flips on baseball games only to hear the singing of the
National Anthem. At other times, though, you're looking to classic
TV programs, like Leave it to Beaver and Happy Days. Be careful:
Once you start watching soap operas, you'll probably never stop.
