The sign of Cancer (June 22 – July 22) has very little to do with that prickly crustacean, believe it or not. In fact, it’s hard to pin down exactly what constitutes the Cancer personality.  The ancient Egyptians perceived Cancer as the sacred scarab. It was a symbol of resurrection and immortality and they often placed a carving of a scarab in the body where the heart had been, as part of the mummification process.

Cancers are very imaginative and intuitive. They make great artists and musicians. They’re not risk takers, and will take the time to contemplate all sorts of outcomes and probabilities before taking on a new venture. They’re very sympathetic and protective of those around them. They will help out in whatever way they can, although not impulsively and will temper their generosity with calculating all the risks first. They’re emotional and loving, and great family and pet people.

Those with this Mercury position, are sensitive to what others think about them. They possess an almost sixth-sense for detecting signals from all around them. They believe that if we had to depend only on our eyes we would perceive very little. People with Mercury in Cancer are chameleon-like in the way they are able to adapt to various kinds of people. This is not to say that they don’t cling possessively to their own ideas.

They can be a bit closed-minded, but others would need to be as psychic as they are to discern this. They maintain a pleasant social face. Your viewpoint is always intensely personal—you’re fond of examining large issues in terms of your own feelings. Gifted with a potent imagination, a poetic mind, and an excellent memory, Mercury in-Cancer people flourish as scholars, historians, educators, and authors. They are expected to make a profit in real estate and may inherit wealth from the maternal side of their family. They are sometimes plagued with irrational phobias, such as a fear of flying.

As a Venus-in-Cancer individual, you are idealistic and sensitive. Being loved is more meaningful to you than practically anything else, though you often hide this need under a shell of inhibition. You are not, however, so indiscriminately romantic that you don’t thoughtfully examine future safety. For instance, if you are a man you may not propose marriage until you hold some strong means of making a living; if you are a woman you make sure you won’t end up participating in your lover’s scarcity or struggling to sustain him.

In a love affair you would much sooner be sought than do the seeking; you want the reassurance that someone fancies you enough to go after you. Once you feel assured, you are expressive and sensual. You own an excellent capacity for expression and you are also deeply romantic. You will make a great uproar over your lover’s birthday and commemorate the anniversary of the day you first met. This placement of Venus shows strong family support. Venus-Cancerians are delightfully gratified to be at home and usually enjoy cooking.
