Cancer 1

Cancer 1 people are very cleaver in getting their way. They understand the needs and motivations of others and use that to their advantage. They have the ability to make their dreams come true and are normally very good at handling money.
They understand money and treat it as water, knowing that to stagnate both and not to allow it to flow creates problems. They tend to be good salespersons as they understand human psychology very well. They can easily convince a customer that the products is right for them and the best to purchase.
This can go however into a negative where they sell just for the sake of selling and people can have the feeling later of being conned or ripped off or being sold something they really do not need or could afford. Cancer 1 people's home is very important to them and they
tend to spend a great deal of time and effort in making it right just for them, to the point of perfection sometimes. This could become and obsession in having the best and biggest home. But in essence they
just want to feel secure and protected and feel the more personal energy they put in their home the better. Just do not take it too far. Life in your home not for your home. They tend to be defensive-minded people and could show some aggressive traits if hey feel cornered.

Try not to armor yourself to much or crawl too far into your shell. Be careful of selling for the sake of selling or just because you can. People by dislike you later if it was not really in their best interest.

Cancer 2

Cancer 2 people tent to be unusual people and often turn out to be very different than the image they represent.
What however is weird and strange to you is just normal to them. They are very in touch with their unconscious mind and tend to be very observing and discussing human behavior's
They love to use humor as a means of expression. They are often very insightful and full of fantasies and unusual ideas. Being met with skeptic reception and comment, they may then decide to hold their fantasy to themselves and it could lead them not to want to attract attention to them, having them crawl into their shell.
They have an ability thought o touch people on a different level than others and can create deep bonds with friends. They however sometimes take lack of appreciation for their deep thoughts as personal rejection.

Get out a little more, try not to be too sensitive and run back to your shell when you are hurt. Try and keep in contact with loved ones. Use and develop your fantasies and wild imagination for productive purposes.

Cancer 3

Cancer 3 people know how to persuade and convince others in order to do their bidding and to get what they want. They can be powerful manipulators and often have a great drive and determination.
They do not easily fall blind to ambition. They love to invest more in themselves than in material things to show their status. They are good at debates but tend to prefer more subtle ways of persuasion.
They are very cunning and must guard against affecting and controlling other to much. It's very easy for them to control and smother others and have them do their bidding, this can cause resentment and distrust.
Cancer 3 uses peoples feeling to manipulate them and this can hurt a child and weaken their self worth. Even if you are convinced you are right and working for the higher good of others, realize that they still have free choice
and that they need to learn by doing things and thinking for themselves. If used right, they can represent a group or cause to very effective results. Light seduction and manipulation can be attractive for partners, but guard against overdoing it.
They are very good to plan ahead and plant ideas subtly in people's minds only to later have the people act on those plans and think it was their own. The cancer 3 will then just ride along letting the other think it was their original intention to do the action.

Let others do things for themselves a bit and think for themselves. You do not always know what's right for others and even if you do, forcing your will and ideas on others hampers their learning at best
and could result in resentment. Let others express themselves freely; they have a life to and need room as well. People know you intend good so you do not always need to justify your actions, just know when to stop.

with strength or grace as central theme. They can master physical disciplines easily.

Try and find stability in your activities and moods without loosing your spontaneity while building a calm centre. Let confidence remain at the heart of who you are. Be a little more in the moment and not the past or future. Slow down a bit and pace yourself for the long run.
