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.

With the Moon in Aries, you’ve got a pushy disposition. Your reactions are swift and fast, and you never question them for an instant. As a consequence, you tend to be rather decisive of your opinions and dislike it when others question or contradict you. Patience isn’t your forte. You won’t spend excess time deliberating tedious details; you like to dive right in and let the chips fall where they may.

In the spirited sign of Aries, the Moon endows you with attractiveness, enthusiasm, and a special penchant for winning other’s support. You’re very keen on talking about nearly anything and may sound very informed on a broad variety of topics. Nevertheless, you’ve got a fleeting attention span. Though passion and energy overflow, the long, onerous demands involved can cause you to fall short of your goal. Despite that, you’re ever quick to pick yourself up and progress forward onto new and exciting prospects. However, if you’re chasing an aim you actually care strongly about, you may push yourself to the limit of your patience.

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.

If you have Venus in Gemini you must have an mental affinity with someone before your hearts start to blossom. Essentially, you have a cheerful disposition toward love. Deep, complex emotional engagements are like an anchor around your throat. You have such a broad range of interests—travel, literature, music, recognizing new areas (and meeting new people)—that a partner just can’t be the only center of your life.

This confers a definite coolness to your sentiments. Your inconstancy seldom produces challenges in love or marriage, but you spring back promptly. Not even a frustrated lover can be annoyed at you very long—you are too charming, amusing, and entertaining. You relish being with people and possess lots of friends, and often more than one sweetheart. (Venus exercises its most provocative influence in Gemini.) This placement of Venus also excites a casual and loose hand for squandering money.

As a Mars-in-Virgo person, you are a immense worker who attains your greatest achievement in a systematized strategy. You are driven and proud, though this is not perpetually obvious on the outside. Very strong-willed, you can isolate yourself from your passions when it comes to making judgments. In your craft you are shrewd, calculating, and calmly resolved.

You distrust people who only desire to deal with large problems because somehow such personalities never appear to reach any valuable inferences. Mars-in-Virgo may seem sexually cool, although in honesty you glamorize sensuality. You desire it to be both corporally ecstatic and mentally stimulating. Your appetites are powerful but kept under tight restraint. Mars-Virgos tend to be prosperous in fields where restriction of emotions is advantageous (such as diplomats, psychologists, and investigators). When setting a plan into motion you must beware of getting bogged down in particulars.

If you were born in the years 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981 or 1993 then you’re a Rooster. The Rooster is described as a pioneer in spirit, devoted to work and the quest for knowledge. It is selfish and eccentric and is best matched with Snakes and Oxen. Oddly enough, the writer is a Snake and her sister is a Rooster.

We do think there’s something to this astrology thing! Roosters are quick thinkers and are practical and resourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than taking unnecessary risks. Roosters are keenly observers of their surroundings and those around them. It’s hard to slip anything past a Rooster, since they seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads. This quality can lead others to think the Rooster is psychic, but that’s not generally the case; instead, this Sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it a whiz at anything requiring close analysis.

Nurturing yet dangerous, vital and deadly, water is a ripe with contradiction. In moderate amounts it is a blessing, in over abundance, a curse. Water is the only element with the ability to put out fire and make things grow and thrive. Water is vital to our very survival. Without water crops wither and die and there is no food. The human body, and in fact, all life on Earth is dependent upon water. Yet, even for life, water has the potential to be deadly. Too much water in the body leads to water intoxication and even death. It is, however, a delicate balance.

Too little water and all life withers and dies with the effects of the hot sun. Too much water chokes out needed oxygen and drowns. It is for this very reason the element water is represented by the color black. Water rules intelligence and wisdom. People born under the element water are uncommonly intelligent and capable. For all their wisdom and reasoning ability, water people tend to have difficulty making and sticking to decisions. Diplomatic, and intuitive, water people are flexible. They have a special ability to ‘go with the flow’ and are usually easygoing.
