CANCER: June 21 to July 22
THE INNER YOU
On the surface you're the picture of calm and strength, but underneath you often feel insecure and inadequate. You're sure that other people know what they're doing and that you're just winging it. You are a very emotional person; you're constantly feeling. Hearing a song on the radio makes you feel sentimental, and a particular scent, flower or picture can jar your memory. You're also extraordinarily in sync with other people's feelings. In fact, you get almost as involved in your friends' problems as you do in your own. When you're close to someone, you believe you're supposed to help that person. It's very important to you to have harmony--any kind of conflict or quarrel leaves you feeling depressed. You're definitely not wishy-washy, though; you have the courage of your convictions and the strength to stick up for what you think is right. You don't welcome change so you're a bit hesitant about going ahead with new plans, but that doesn't stop you from doing what has to be done.
HOW OTHERS SEE YOU
You're like a den mother--you listen to everyone else's problems and try to fix them all. Others appreciate your concern about their well-being and the advice you give them. But sometimes they think of you as moody and controlling. One minute you seem to care about them, and the next you're crabby and to be avoided at all costs.
YOUR BEST TRAITS
You're always ready to open your heart to other people and you're very sensitive to their needs. You're extremely protective of those you love and you'll make any sacrifice for them. You also have great charm, a creative imagination and, even though you seem shy, a real flair for performing in front of an audience.
YOUR WORST TRAITS
You can be overly sensitive and touchy; self-pity runs close to the surface. You can make others feel guilty if they're ungreatful or don't repay you (if only with compliments) for what you do for them. You can also be possessive, and too often you're a nag.
THE ROMANTIC YOU
From the time you were a child, you pictured yourself being swept away by love. Romance is always on your mind, and your emotional antennae can pick up the slightest signals of interest from a woman/man. However, you're cautious about revealing your vulnerable side and your cool reserve can be mistaken for a lack of interest. In love you need security more than anything, but you're destined to go through at least one unhappy experience before you discover true love. When you do find it, everything in your life blooms--you're affectionate, caring and extremely devoted. But you tend to develop a blind spot about your partner's faults. You're highly sentimental and want the intimate give-and-take of sharing. In short, you're the quintessential traditional woman/man.
