Cancer Patterns and Behaviors
|
|
|
by Diana Stone |
|

The Sun typically passes through Cancer from June 21, the summer solstice, to July 22. The planet Saturn entered Cancer on June 3, 2003 and will remain in that sign until July 17, 2005. Saturn's transit through this sign is a strong influence and sets the tone for this cycle. Cancerian themes presented in this column
are the issues that many of us would do well to seriously address. If Cancer is not your Sun sign, you may think that the themes of Cancer do not apply to you. You may be wrong. Your Moon, rising sign or other major placements may fall in Cancer contributing a significant influence from that sign. See if this describes anyone you know.
Cancer rides the tides of emotions and is focused on home, family, safety and security. This is one of the signs where we deal with nurturing needs, how to give and receive care taking to and from others, up close and personal. Cancer the Crab has a tough protective shell, but that is to safeguard the soft inside. Cancerians do not like upsetting conditions, scenes or confrontation. They are easily hurt. However, it is a survivor sign.
This is one of the signs associated with traditional values and preserving the past. This fourth sign of the zodiac evokes images of a rose-covered cottage, apple pie, the flag and a cocker spaniel. Vocational choices may revolve around providing basic needs and are well placed in the restaurant business, real estate, running nursing homes, etc. The sign is intuitive and has good gut instincts.
The theme of nurturing is one that confronts us right off the bat. Our mother carries us to birth and if she (or someone) does not provide basic nurturing we would not physically survive for many years after birth. The relationship to the mother lays down the subconscious patterns that will play out in our intimate relationships in adult life. When I counsel clients about relationship issues, we see over and over the repeating patterns learned at Mom's knee. That is why Cancer is known as the Mother sign. It addresses that part of the psyche-male or female-that determines whether or not we will be taken care of in our emotional life and feel safe and secure in our inner lives.
Sometimes children who are not adequately nurtured must turn within to awaken the mother pattern at an early age and become "mother to themselves." The decision is seen as a survival move and blocks out receiving "mothering" from others, which is perceived as a position of vulnerability just as it was in childhood. They then take on the parental role and attract "children" as marriage partners. They complain that the partner is just another child, is needy and incapable of answering their needs.
I remember a client with several planets in Cancer. She told me about caring for an invalid husband, running a12-acre truck farm and constantly dealing with her four children who took her money and were basically dysfunctional and selfish. One of the consequences of the Cancer pattern where the person does everything for others is to create dependency needs. When I questioned my client about her heavy load, she denied it all over the place. I finally got through to her and worked with her for a few months. The interesting thing was that when she pulled back and quit doing everything for everybody else, her husband recovered and had a successful career.
Cancer folks can be fearful and shy and very insecure. If they can overcome these traits, there is a powerful inner life, great emotional resources and valuable instincts as to the needs of others. It is sometimes a good solution to be a professional caretaker, collect a paycheck, go home and have a mutually supportive relationship.
If you number Cancerians in your life in your life, you will very likely enjoy their commitment to your welfare, a sympathetic ear and homemade chicken soup when you have the sniffles. Just don't insult their mother. They will have to kill you.
(I like to remind people that the sign Cancer has no relationship to the disease cancer and does not imply you will be any more likely to contract it than anyone else.)
This is one of a continuing series on the signs that will continue next time with the sign Leo. The articles are greatly condensed from Diana's book A Communication Model for Astrologers. It is a work in progress. Diana likes to hear from people who share examples of the sign themes from their own lives or from the lives of others whom they know.

In 1973, she established a private practice in Portland, OR. She serves a clientele that includes an extensive network of telephone clients.
Her book on the U.S. horoscope was published in 1976. In the early 90s she contributed to three anthologies published by Llewellyn Publishers and edited by Noel Tyl.
Diana has lectured extensively and is a popular keynote speaker. She delivered the keynote address at the United Astrology Conference in Orlando in July 2002.
She has been a student for over 30 years of Huna shamanism, the system practiced by ancient Polynesian kahuna. Huna Research, Inc. certified her as a teacher of the ancient lore.
Diana serves an extensive international clientele as a shaman specializing in soul retrieval. She and her brother formed a publishing company, Crystal Triangle Publishing, and the book they co-authored, The Lightbody Activation Manual, will be released in February 2003.
