Understanding a Cancer
In the
Sign of Cancer the heavens are developing the feeling side of
things. This is what a true Cancerian is all about - feelings. Where
Aries will tend to err on the side of action, Taurus on the side of
inaction and Gemini on the side of thought, Cancer will tend to err
on the side of feeling.
Cancerians tend to mistrust logic. Perhaps rightfully so. For them
it is not enough for an argument or a project to be logical - it
must feel right as well. If it is does not feel right a Cancerian
will reject it or chafe against it. The phrase 'follow your heart'
could have been coined by a Cancerian, because it describes exactly
the Cancerian attitude to life.
The power to feel is a more
direct - more immediate - method of knowing than thinking is.
Thinking is indirect. Thinking about a thing never touches a thing
itself. Feeling is a faculty that touches directly the thing or
issue in question. We actually experience it. Emotional feeling is
almost like another sense which humans possess - a psychic sense.
Since the realities that we come in contact with during our lifetime
are often painful and even destructive, it is not surprising that
the Cancerian chooses to erect barriers - a shell - to protect his
or her vulnerable, sensitive nature. To a Cancerian this is only
common sense.
If Cancerians are in the presense of people they do not know, or
find themselves in a hostile environment, up goes the shell and they
feel protected. Other people often complain about this, but one must
question these other people's motives. Why does this shell disturb
them? Is it perhaps because they would like to sting, and feel
frustrated that they cannot? If your intentions are honourable and
you are patient, have no fear. The shell will open up and you will
be accepted as part of the Cancerian's circle of family and
friends.
Thought-processes are generally analytic and dissociating. In order
to think clearly we must make distinctions, comparisons and the
like. But feeling is unifying and integrative.
To think clearly about something you have to distnace yourself from
it. To feel something you must get close to it. Once a Cancerian has
accepted you as a friend he or she will hang on. You have to be
really bad to lose the friendship of a Cancerian. If you are related
to Cancerians they will never let you go no matter what you do. They
will always try to maintain some kind of connection even in the most
extreme circumstanses.
