ABOUT ME

People born under the Cancer Zodiac experience the depth of life. Cancer live in a raging sea of emotions, experiencing highs and lows much like the tides of the sea. Nevertheless, still waters run deep, you have to get to know them to suspect how deep the inner-emotions of a Cancer are. For a Cancer, the world consists of emotions, which makes them extremely vulnerable. They are the romantics of the Zodiac, their big desires and the ability to truly experience emotions result in the Cancer standing for unconditional love. Instinctively, Cancer acts on unintended impulses and rarely uses a direct approach to reach their goal, they almost always reach it indirectly.

Cancer children can feel alone and abandoned rather quickly and can be rather shy from time to time. These children are exceptionally sensitive so harsh words and injustice generally has a much larger impact on them compared to the other Zodiac signs. The children are generally helpful and a good emotional bond formed in the early childhood usually means few problems during puberty. More often than not an innate creative talent exists, so encouraging this can help make the child feel less insecure.

With your average Cancer romance should come hand in hand with safety and security. If a Cancer is disappointed a lot in their early adulthood it’s possible that they’ll try to stay away from intimate relationships and builds up all their emotions behind their legendary walls. A Cancer is looking for someone that’s equally sensitive and should feel well at home with Pisces or Scorpios, although in the latter case they can sometimes be found to be too demanding.

Tyical for a Cancer is their trustworthiness and that they are generally gifted with a proper head for finance. Their finances are usuallywell handled, as they don’t like wasting money and they resent debts.

Due to a longing for safety and security a Cancer person sometimes sticks with a relationship that’s actually bad for them. Someone can often feel more lonely amongst other people as opposed to being actually alone. A Cancer can become literally sick due to too much brooding. Their health stands or falls together with their emotional balance.

Upon reaching the age of thirty a wave of general unhappiness can hit a Cancer person. At this point it’s time to firmly set their own course if they want to give their life a constructive turn for the best. They’ve got to create their own destiny and shouldn’t blame every mishap on their past. Once again, vague and untouchable feelings of insecurity accompany this. They shouldn’t bury themselves in daily routine if they feel, deep down, that it isn’t good for them. Most Cancers would rather read a good book in front of the fireplace rather than making a windy walk through an autumn forest, even though the latter could be quite good for them.

Nearing the age of forty, every typical Cancer suffers attacks of depression. This is a very important period in the life of a Cancer, and if there’s one thing they shouldn’t be doing it’s supressing their feelings whilst avoiding talking about it with someone. A middle-aged Cancer can feel neglected, useless and is advised to broaden their horizon, seek out-of-the-house interests or try to (finally) exploit their slumbering creativity

PHILOSOPHY

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now;

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.
