The Cancer influence is not one of health or vigor. The sign is not necessarily short-lived, but all through the life the vitality is weak and the appetite large, so that possible illness is increased by poor health habits.
This sigh is decidedly religious. To the masculine type the mystery of life is a deeply of the soul and the depths of the unknown. The feminine type has not the initiative to think beyond the small limits of everyday life. She is concerned with those closest to her.
The domestic hearth is very important to the Cancer native. Marriage, a part of this department, is treated seriously by Cancer men and women. Well aspected, they revere home life and enjoy their family. Unlike the Taurus home, it is not always beautiful or even well equipped, but it has an old-fashioned charm very dear to the Cancer people themselves. The Cancer husband may be fussy and exacting, but he is also warm and affectionate. The Cancer wife may be moody, changeable, tearful, possessive, and passionate in her demands on the time and efforts of her family, but she is also sincerely devoted, and her intensity is very genuine.
The weakest type of Cancer woman is so unable to cope with life, so spineless, and totally unable to make a positive effort in any direction, that she all too frequently stops trying. In this sigh are found a great many “Ladies of the Evening.” (END)
