IF THE FIRST THREE STAR SIGNS WERE ADVENTURERS, CANCER WOULD BE THE FIRST INNKEEPER, OFFERING SAFETY, WARMTH, AND RESPITE FROM THE PERILOUS ELEMENTS. ENTER CARDINAL WATER.
CANCER I TAKES THE EMPATH AS ITS CENTRAL IMAGE. THIS PERIOD CAN BE COMPARED TO A TIME IN THE ARLY ADULT LIFE WHEN THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND, FEEL AND TO AN EXTENT TO IDENTIFY WITH OTHERS COMES TO THE FORE. SUCH UNDERSTANDING MAY EXTEND TO THE LIFE HISTORY, FEELINGS OR PERSONALITY OF ANOTHER PERSON. IT MAY ALSO INVOLVE SYMPATHY FOR ANOTHER PERSON’S IDEAS OR WAY OF THINKING. NOT ONLY IS THIS PROCESS IMPORTANT IN DEVELOPING BASIC HUMANITY, BUT ALSO BECAUSE WITHOUT SOME DEGREE OF EMPATHY SUCCESS IN SOCIETY WILL BE DENIED.
THE CANCER II PERIOD TAKES THE UNCONVENTIONAL AS ITS CENTRAL IMAGE. THIS PERIOD CAN BE LIKENED TO THE TIME IN A YOUNG ADULT’S LIFE WHEN OUT-OF-THE-WAY ACTIVITIES AND UNUSUAL PEOPLE OCCUPY INTEREST. MOREOVER, THE CHALLENGE TO BE PERSONALLY UNIQUE MAY BE A FOCUS, NOT IN AN ADOLESCENT WAY, BUT RATHER IN THE COURSE OF ASSERTING INDIVIDUALITY. NO AREAS ARE CONSIDERED TOO FAR OUT FOR CONSIDERATION OR STUDY, & FEW IF ANY ACTIVITIES CONSIDERED OFF LIMITS. THE VALUE OF PRIVACY & OF A PRIVATE INNER LIFE ARE FULLY RECOGNIZED AT THIS TIME.
THE CANCER III PERIOD PERSONIFIES THE PERSUADER. ACCORDING TO THE GRAND CYCLE OF LIFE, IN HUMAN TERMS, THIS PERIOD RELATES TO THE YEARS OF ONE’S MID’ TO LATE TWENTIES, WHEN PERSUASIVE POWERS CAN BE APPLIED BOTH IN BUSINESS AND PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. THIS IS A TIME WHEN ALL AVENUES MAY BE TRIED AND OPPORTUNITIES EXPLOITED. FOUNDING A BUSINESS OF ONE’S OWN, FINDING A LIFE MATE, STARTING A FAMILY OR SEEKING TO WIDEN OPPORTUNITIES ARE ALL INDICATIVE OF THIS PERIOD.
CANCERIANS KNOW HOW TO CONVINCE OTHERS OF THEIR WORTH AND GET THEM TO DO THEIR BIDDING. POWERFUL MANIPULATORS OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT, CANCERIANS OFTEN MANIFEST GREAT DRIVE AND DETERMINATION. YET RARELY DO THEY FALL VICTIM TO BLIND AMBITION. EVEN WHEN FINANCIAL REWARDS COME THEIR WAY, CANCERIANS GENERALLY PREFER TO INVEST IN THEMSELVES RATHER THAN INDULGE IN MATERIALISTIC DISPLAYS OR POWER-TRIPPING
