Cancer (June 22- July 22)

Cancers need to feel secure. They keep their financial affairs to themselves. They map out their future in the smallest detail. They choose their partners with the utmost care and can spend a long time looking for the right one. But once they have found the right person, they look no farther. Most celebrate golden wedding anniversaries. Cancers change careers reluctantly, only when it’s clear that their current employment offers no prospects for advancement. They are guided by their feelings. Once they allow someone into their inmost circle, they will remain true to that person without reservation, It is, however, difficult for them to share their sorrows and anxieties with others. They keep their feelings bottled up and for that reason are prone to stomach and intestinal maladies, They can get so caught up in their private grief that they take refuge in a world of fantasy and daydream. They need praise and encouragement, or they can feel blocked. But surprisingly Cancers can also display considerable ambition,. This can help them overcome the low self-esteem that stems from living in a world that values only money and position.
