Cancer Astrology June 21 - July 22

Cancer Strength Keywords: - Loyalty - Dependable - Caring - Adaptable - Responsive

Cancer Weakness Keywords: - Moody - Clingy - Self-pitying - Oversensitive - Self-absorbed

Cancer and Independence:

Cancer is the astrology sign that is packed full of contradictions so when it comes to independence, they possibly can or can not be independent. On one side, they have the perseverance and drive to do what needs to be done, they are self-sufficient and do not need to depend on other people for the material and physical things in life. On the other hand, they depend on people for emotional support and encouragement. A Cancer that is not fully self-actualized will need the constant support of others and will not be very independent but the Cancer that is 'evolved' and has properly harnessed their emotional issues will be wildly successful as an independent human being. They crave attention and comfort from other people and they are happiest when they have a small, close knit group of friends or family. 

Cancer and Friendship:

Cancer is extremely loyal to those who appreciate and support them, they are the nurturer of the zodiac and will protect and cherish the person for a long time. One of the greatest things about Cancer is their ability to make others feel good about themselves and loved. This is because instead of doing this for themselves, they project this onto other people. This is a positive cycle because in making others feel nurtured, wanted and loved, they in return feel good for making someone feel good.  Other people can lean on and depend on cancer, they will listen to people's problems and help them however they will rarely express their own deep feelings to anyone. People who want to share deep emotional thoughts and opinions with a Cancer might feel that the scales are tipped on one side for cancer will rarely reveal it's true deep feelings. A friend of Cancer is usually a lifelong devoted friend that can be trusted. 

Cancer and Business:

Once cancer resolved their emotional issues such as shyness and insecurity, the powerful character will shine though, there is practically nothing they can't do. They have incredible perseverance and will stand up for what they believe in. With their strong intuition, sensitivity, powers of observation and intelligence, they will have great success in anything they undertake. They are excellent business people and investors because of their intuitive and psychic ability and their creative forward thinking mind, they are able to predict future trends. They attract wealth very well and know where to invest. Money and financial well being is very important to Cancer and this can help their  drive in business. They need financial security and if they allow themselves to properly focus their energy and do not allow their emotions to over take them, they are more then capable of obtaining their financial goals and being incredibly successful business people. 

Cancer Temperament:

They are complex, fragile, unpredictable and temperamental and need constant support and encouragement, more then any other astrology signs, Cancer needs to be needed. Even when all needs are satisfied, they can be irritable and cranky. They have an uneasy, delicate temperament. The contradictory nature of Cancer gives their temperament the wild mood swings and possible temper tantrums. They are easily offended and will sulk and wallow in self pity for a long time when they get hurt. 

Cancer Deep Inside:

It is difficult for cancer to open up and have a close emotionally fulfilled relationship with someone because they are so closed off emotionally and physically to the world. This is driven by their fear of trust, Cancer has a difficult time trusting people. This causes built up anger and resentment inside, the contradictory nature really takes a toll on them and they can have a negative outlook on life, thinking that life is just too hard and miserable. This is unfortunate because when good experiences are to be had, they are skeptical of people and their surroundings and they experience tunnel vision due to their depressed outlook  and they miss the nice things and happy experiences in life that make it worth living. In addition to lack of trust for people, Cancer is deeply sensitive and easily hurt, this is other reason why they have their defense shell in place, to avoid being hurt by others. Cancer  lives in the past. They hold past events close to them and often dwell on the past. They have to learn to let go and live in the present instead of spending their time being sick with nostalgia. Cancer has a lot of emotional issues to deal with but once they overcome this large hump of shyness and insecurity, there is practically nothing they can't do. With their strong intuition, sensitivity, powers of observation and intelligence, they will have great success in anything they undertake. Cancer is constantly feeling, feelings and emotions are hallmarks of this sign and this is the root of their problems, human beings are not as evolved in the emotional area and this is where cancer gets the brunt of  their problems. They are the ones who have to cope with their strong feelings more so then any other sign. Once properly harnessed, there is nothing that is this powerful astrology sign can not accomplish. Harmony is very important to Cancer, it keeps them happy. Conflict of any kind causes great distress. Deep inside, Cancer is a very powerful sign, they have the ability to stand up for what they think is right and they have lots of perseverance and can be fine on their own provided they don't let their emotions get the better of them and have the stability they need. They are not fond of change but they have the ability to do what needs to be done, they are not pushovers or lazy people. 

Cancer in a Nutshell:

Cancer is a mysterious sign, filled with contradictions. They want security and comfort yet seek new adventure. They are very helpful to others yet sometimes can be cranky and indifferent. Cancer has a driving, forceful personality that can be easily hidden beneath a calm, and cool exterior. The crab is Cancer's ruling animal and it suits them well,  they can come out of their shell and fight but they can also hide in their shell of skitter away back into the depths of the ocean. They are very unpredictable. With cancer, there is always something more that meets the eye, for they are always partially hidden behind the shell. They are a have a deep psyche and intuitive mind that is hidden from the world. Cancer is deeply sensitive and easily hurt, this might be why they have their defense shell in place, to avoids being hurt by others. They are nurturers so they surround themselves with people, whom after a while can offend or hurt a cancer without even knowing they did so, therefore Cancer's protective shell keeps them safe from hurt. They are complex, fragile, unpredictable and temperamental and need constant support and encouragement, more then any other astrology signs, Cancer needs to be needed. When cancer gets the support it needs, it has a tremendous amount to offer in return. When cancer gets offended, they tend to sulk instead of confronting the persons face to face. This needlessly prolongs the pain and suffering. Cancer is very possessive, not just with material possessions but with people as well. Cancer will always want to stay in touch with old friends and anyone who has ever been close to them, because it is easier to maintain a friendship then attempt to learn to trust a new person. It is easier this way for them emotionally. If you befriend a Cancer, you will stay friends for a long time.  Cancer makes the perfect mother, this is the sign that represents motherhood. They have unconditional love and caring more so then any other astrology sign. Cancer are very intuitive. Most of the psychics of the world are Cancer astrology signs. They have an excellent memory and are very observant and can read people very well. They can usually tell of other people's intentions are good or not. Never dupe a Cancer, they can see your motives. Cancer has a lot of emotional issues to deal with but once they overcome this large hump of shyness and insecurity, there is practically nothing they can't do. With their strong intuition, sensitivity, powers of observation and intelligence, they will have great success in anything they undertake. 

Cancer Love, Sex and Relationships 

What it's like to date a Cancer Woman:

The Cancer woman is a very sensual woman with deep emotions and passion brewing underneath the exterior. To reach these will require time, patience and tenderness. Do not expect to have her open up to you right away and jump into a relationship. She will not make the first move and will not be forward with you, you have to do all the work. Do not try to lead her on because Cancer woman is very in-tune with a persons motivations and she will see right through you. Trust is the single most important thing to Cancer. If you ever betray her trust, you might as well move on. She needs love and security. Cancer is the perfect woman for the man who loves to sweep a woman off her feet with romance. She is sensual, sweet and flirty and you two will engage in a gentle, flirtatious dance together while the relationship builds. Once there is a solid, secure foundation, the richness of the relationship will emerge. She is old fashioned, feminine and sensual and patient, if you are the man who can give her what she wants, a relationship with a Cancer woman is wholesome and rewarding and can last a lifetime. 

What it's like to date a Cancer Man:

The Cancer man will not be direct with you. He will approach you cautiously and slowly. He will be very romantic and flirty and attempt to court you and win your heart with lavish gifts and attention. The reason he will never be direct with you is that he has a strong underlying fear of rejection. Of you are interested in a Cancer man, you will probably have to make the first move and ask him on a date. He falls in love easily and will make you his whole world. Once you "belong to him", he will hold on to you and can become quite jealous and possessive. This is because he is worried he will lose you to another man and that would crush his spirit. He needs you to be loyal and faithful for he is the same, in a strong and close relationship, Cancer men are the most loyal of the astrology signs. They make excellent lovers for the tender woman who loves romance and being swept off her feet. Cancer is very affectionate and thrives on holding hands all the time, and constant physical contact as he absorbs the situation and experiences with his feelings. The cancer man is all about feeling. He might not show it however and might portray a calm and cool exterior but underneath, he feels deeply and intensely. Cancer men are easily offended so do not jokingly make fun of them  for they will take offense and get hurt, but once again, this will not be known to you. He will simply sulk on his own while he tries to figure out and dissect what you said. Cancer men are excellent male protectors, they are like the knight in shining armor. If you are the kind of woman that likes being looked after and cared for, and loves affection and devotion, this romantic, sensual man is perfect for you. 

How To Attract Cancer:

You must be direct, Cancer will not. Let your feelings for them be known, this is the first step to initiating a relationship with a Cancer. This way, will not have to risk rejection, one of their biggest fears. If you are looking for a short fling, be straight with them. Do not lead them on to thinking there is long term commitment is there is none because you will hurt these emotionally delicate people. Trust is the most important. Build trust with them and they will gradually get closer to you. Give them approval and compliments but be careful because they will easily sense when you are complimenting them just for the sake of it. Be sincere. Ask Cancer for advice, share your problems (but don't burden them), they enjoy helping people and giving advice. They like culture and lavish experiences. Take them to a play or museum and a fancy, upscale restaurant. Do not force  Cancer into a relationship or make them make a decision on the spot. They will shy away from you. Have patience, this is the key to attracting a Cancer. Be physical with them, they love genuine affection. They are very cautious and as time passes, they will slowly grow closer to you and you will have wonderful, fulfilling relationship. 

Cancer Erogenous Zone:

The greatest erogenous zone for Cancer is the chest and the breasts. Both women and men respond well to light sucking and kissing of the nipples. You must caress these areas delicately and softly. Never be rough. Stroke your fingers through Cancer man's chest hair, lightly and gently this will ignite the firey passion hidden behind the shell

Day 6:

Why do they have their resources? How long have they had them, and how have they served the character over time? (Ex. Contacts, money, political power, fame, etc.)

Ohh this is a big one. Resources are extremely important to pureblood vampires. Her main resource is MONEY. Saving money has helped her to always have a place to live, food to eat, and whatever her heart so desires without having to rely on last minute jobs for a paycheck. This is important because with hunters constantly on the prowl, and other such nuisances for Kira, she can’t always stick around long enough to get her paycheck before having to flee. So having backup cash is great. Contacts are a bit on and off for her. She trusts very few and keeps her circle extremely small in order to protect herself and those in her life. Every time she got close enough to anyone, they would end up murdered, and that has scarred her and kept her from attempting any lasting connections. Then there is also the fact that humans have shorter lifespans and thus break her heart when they die, which is a problem because she feels a lot deeper than humans and takes it harder than she should. Work contacts have always been necessary, and so she has kept shallow connections with anyone who could possibly be of use in the future. Anyone who finds out her secret (she’s a vampire) and is not of any use to her ends up dead. Self preservation has been her mantra for as long as she could remember, and often times she takes that to extremes.

Day 5:

Resources and abilities: Where did they learn their abilities? After being shipwrecked, she was picked up by a group of ninja who forced her to join the clan, the alternative being death since she washed up on their shores and knew the location of their hidden village. She was rigorously trained, her healing ability making her training all the more painful as she was forced to continue even through the breaking of bones or other severe injuries that did not kill her. She learned pain tolerance through the torture she was put through daily. She picked up mimicry and stealth, as well as the advantages of seduction from the kunoichi of the village whom were actually better at their jobs than the shinobi.

If they have an income, where does it come from? Her income comes from property she owns and rents out, or antiques that she has stored and then sells. Being 800 years old definitely has perks when it comes to the “antique” business, and it just so happens she was smart enough to pick up plenty of art and other such trinkets to hold onto for just such future opportunities.

Day 4:

Favorites and habits:

What are some of your character’s hobbies? What do they do with their time? Kira loves to spoil her man, mostly. From lovin’ on him, to cutting hair, to cleaning each other up, to cooking with each other, or just enjoying a cup of coffee at the kitchen table or down the street at the café, her main hobby is the love of her life. Aside from that, she’ll paint, read, watch television, or work out. She loves a good fight, or spar fights. The bloodier the better, which makes a lot of people squeamish about what she considers “fun”.

Favorite color? Sapphire blue. Of all the shinies she loves, sapphires are her favorites because of her love of the color blue.

Favorite music artists? Movies or TV shows? Books or authors? Actors? She’s not completely “with the times” in this sort of thing, though she adores Sherlock and anything to do with Sherlock Holmes.

Political stance? Are they active in politics or do they not care? She stopped caring after the Warring States Era of Japan. Once she lost the battle and Ieyasu Tokugawa became Shogun, she just stopped trying to influence the politics of humans.

What are some of their pet peeves? People who use lots of perfume or cologne, and also excessive use of air fresheners, scented candles, or potpourris in a house. Mostly because she has a very sensitive nose and could easily feel sick from it. She also hates when people fidget too much around her.

What sort of gifts do they like? Anything that has effort put into it is good for her. She doesn’t care if it’s a plain ol’ rock, as long as the gifter has a good reason for giving her a rock. xD

What is their favorite time of day? Favorite weather? Season? Clear night with a full moon, hands down. Favorite weather would be springtime or autumn when the weather is even, though she does love a good snowfall—just can’t physically stay in it long. Favorite season is winter. She loves bundling up and getting cozy inside.

Where do they like to spend their time? With good company. It doesn’t matter where, she just likes to be with people she enjoys spending time with. Outside, inside, shopping, hiking, travelling, anything really. Just as long as she’s in good company.

Favorite food? Favorite drink? Hot drinks, soft drinks, or alcohol? She loves sushi but has recently developed a taste for French cuisine~ Her favorite drink will always be tea, because there’s always a different kind to try and it’s really an art. She’s not too into soft drinks. Alcohol-wise, she loves pretty drinks just as much as she loves whiskey and scotch. Wine from a pureblood friend of hers is pretty much the easiest thing for her to get drunk on though.

Favorite animal? Cats and foxes. Though for the most part, animals don’t really like her even when she loves them 3 They get nervous because she’s a predator.

Do they have any pets? Do they want any? She’s had a supernatural crow, a ninja cat, and a spirit fox. She doesn’t have any desire for any pets at the moment.

What relaxes them? Hot baths or hot spring dips. Instant relax. Also just sitting around and relaxing with her boo helps her to chill.

Day 3:

Choose a different time period and describe what your character would have been like in that time period.

It’s difficult to stick her in another time period since she’s been around from the late 1100’s to the present…would probably work better if I stuck her in a different PLACE but……hm.

Had Kira been born in modern times (as in the present), she might be even more dangerous than she is now. With access to the power of technology she would have several more convenient ways of taking care of her targets, as I don’t see her not being an assassin of some sort for most of the first part of her life. It’s basically molded the person she’s become, personality wise, physically, and mentally. I think she would be more fashion forward and self-conscious, due to the constant bombardment of the “ideal self-image” and the societal pressure on women to be a certain way. In combination with her issue about her species, I feel that could definitely be a dangerous mixture.

Eventually I think she would want to get out of “the business” and that would spur her to live on the run, but then she would find someone lovely to settle with and find a higher purpose for her life. Deep down that’s all she really wants: to be a wife, mother, and functional member of a true family.
