DESCRIPTION

Cancerian energy is the progression from the changeable, thought-based, ‘light’, interactive, experience-oriented Gemini, whereby the compilation of scattered fast-paced energy slows down to be processed, stabilised and brought into the realm of feelings and meaning. Cancer relates to the stage in life/the part of the chart that relates to reflection, introspection, contemplation of meaning and how the self feels about any number of things in the outer world. As Cancer is the first sign of the Zodiac that is water-influenced, the introduction of the focus on feelings is in its early stages. Raw, defensive, survival-oriented and in need of protection. The vulnerability is at its highest as the self has yet found a way to manage the change and intensity of such feelings.

Interests and motivations:

A home base. Family. Security. Nurturing. Being loved, accepted.

Introspection and reflection can occur most naturally when a safe environment free from outside interference is maintained. It is within this environment that a Cancerian can drop all defenses and reveal the vulnerability that they possess. They do not need to fear rejection, hostility, and people who can take advantage when they are at home, and it is within this sphere they can get in touch with their true self, their core.

Family get-togethers/activities promise unity. The blood-bonds and added relatives signify love that remains despite arguments, fights, controversies. This to them promises unwavering security in their minds.

It is these home-lovers that are easily  influenced by their parental actions and as parents aim to be the best possible nurturers as humanly possible. The caring attitude and love of bonds is in their DNA and they will do there best to promote reassurance and love.

Their sensitivity does leave them open to changing of moods. They are sensitive on a multitude of levels and understanding that this is their wiring and there are ways to better manage their stresses can help them tremendously to be most productive. It isn’t often known to these individuals that ultimate strength can come from openness and vulnerability, so the covering up and compensating continues until this is realized at some stage in the lifespan.

It is with the richness of water energy such as with Cancerians that life has its depth. Without the honesty of feeling, life would simply be a dry bleak place.

HEALTH

This is a person who’s health is so reliant on their emotional state. They need to love and nurture as well as be nurtured and loved in return otherwise they will sense life is meaningless and without purpose.

Being supportive and lending an ear without needing to fix their ‘problems’ is very beneficial for them, and sometimes all that is needed

For the men of with strong Cancerian energy, allowing them to be the provider, the Family Man, still connected to his mother/original family and his roots is vital.

They are often quite sensitive to a number of things, being it external things (sounds, smells, etc) or foods/allergens, so keeping them balanced minimises their reactivity to such things.
