When reading the
personality description of these traits above, please keep in mind that the
ones discussed here are mainly indicative of the influence of their element,
and the influence of their ruling planet. The positions of the other celestial
bodies at the very moment of their birth could change, or temper them to a vast
extent.
Cancer is the 4th
sign of the zodiac which is a cardinal, feminine, movable, watery, phlegmatic
and nocturnal sign. According to ancient classical, “It is pale red related to
water filled garden bed, rivers banks and un-inhabited lands in forests and
represents Brahmins. It is strong during the nights. It has many feet (i.e. it
is a centipede sign) and has a bulky body. It is Sattvic in disposition (the
quality seen in gods) and it is a watery rashi. It rises with its back and is
ruled by the Moon, which itself is a watery planet. The Moon was called Luna by
the Romans, Selene and Artemis by the Greeks, and many other names in other mythologies.
The Moon represents the basic nature of instincts and feelings. It has a
nurturing influence that gives a deep impression and unique sensitivity within mind.
Intuitive people often have a strong Moon placement. Also Moon is the significator
(Karaka) of water, so Cancer is highly associated with water and the
characteristics of water.
It is nurturing,
supportive, sensitive and emotional sign. The symbol of Cancer is a crab which
is also a water based animal that is always on the look out for food. The
symbolism of the large scissors of the crab seems inappropriate for Cancer. The
natives with a prominent Cancer sign in their chart are changeable, and
continuously moving around creating new associations. There are ups and downs
like the tides, and the emotions play an important role in everything. As the
Moon will be in own sign in Cancer, it is said that it will produce wonderful
and sensitive people who will be known for their emotions. This Sign becomes
strong, when it is in between 0degree to 3degree.20’
