Cancer [antikvár]

INTRODUCINGCancerCancer, the sign of the Crab, is the fourth sign of theZodiac. While a crab can sometimes be snappy, Cancerians project many extremely positive qualitiesthat might be associated with this creature.Similarly to the way in which a crab's hard shell protects a soft interior, Cancer's subjects develop a hard psychological shell to protect themselves and their loved ones from the rigours of life. If you challenge or threaten a Gancerian in any way, you will at once see this self-defensive system spring into action.Traditional groupingsAs you read through this book you will come across references to the elements and the qualities, and to positive and negative, or masculine and feminine signs.The first of these groupings, that of the elements, comprises fire, earth, air, and water signs. The second, that of the qualities, divides the Zodiac into cardinal, fixed, and mutable signs. The final grouping is made up of positive and negative, or masculine and feminine signs. Each Zodiac sign is associated with a combination ofcomponents from these groupings, all of which contribute different characteristics to it.Gancerian characteristicsCancer is the first sign of the water element, and therefore has a very high emotional level and is very intuitive. Possessing an excellent memory, Cancerians sometimes recall minor injuries and slights best forgotten. Yet as a sign of the cardinal quality. Cancer is outgoing towards loved ones, as well as being kind, helpful, and considerate.The sign's ruling "planet" is the Moon. The changeability of the Moon is reflected in Cancerians: they are exceptionally prone to moodiness and sudden changes of humour. Cancer is linked with silvery blue and smoky grey colours that reflect the colours of the Moon. It is a feminine, negative sign, which inclines its subjects towards introversion.
