CANCER THE CRAB
the psychological nature of the pure Cancerian is rather like the physical nature of the crab and other crustaceans: a hard outer shell conceals an interior that is soft and vulnerable to injury. To outsiders cancerians present a hard appearance, giving the impression that they are rough and unsympathetic: to those who know them well
they are genntle and compassionate. A sea crab is totally attached to it's home, in the most literal way, and the pure Cancerian is, in metaphorical terms, equally attached to his/her home - his/her life is centred on partners, parents, children and their surroundings. A cancerian is a loyal and devoted friend, an even more devoted parent or child, and one who can be relied upon in all circumstances - Cancerians would rather betray themselves than those who are close to them. As they are themselves so loyal, Cancerians are badly wounded if others are disloyal to them. their reaction is almost always to withdraw, like crab into it's shell, rather than to attempt to revenge themselves on those who have hurt them.
Sexuality and the emotions beneath an outward aspect which suggests coolness to the point of frigidity, Cancerian men and women are often highly sexed. The Cancerian type was attributed to the element of water by the astrologers of old, but as far as the emotions are concerned the water of the pure Cancerian is that which erupts from volcanic depths rather than that which is found in ice cold mountain lakes. The strong physical urges of at least some Cancerians are modified by their attachment to the home and those they know well. in a sense Cancerians never leave their parents: the female Cancerian will seek a lover who is also a father figure: the male will rarely value a partner who does not have some maternal qualities. On the whole Cancerians make good long term relationships. These, however, are sometimes marred by an emotional moodiness which can be tring to those who have to cope with it. Cancerians tend to swing between extemes of attraction and repulsion, elation and depression, optimism and pessimism. Only someone who is prepared to accept such swings of temperament should marry a Cancerian.
