hi nairalanders, if you're born between the month of Jun21 - 22 Jul, then you're among the lucky few nairalanders.

i promise to give you an updated historical background. see ya!

here is the map of cancer. I shall post some historical background later.

cheers

i'm cancer, i know some stuffs u know, from vindoheney.

Im in, so wat do you know that we dont, pls yarn

joey and lola. check me on bricksvilla@yahoo.com for your 'blessing'.

perhaps you already know that Cancer, the Crab, plays a minor role in the Twelve Labors of Hercules. While Hercules was busy fighting the multi-headed monster, Hydra, the goddess Hera, who did not like Hercules, sent the Crab to distract him. Cancer grabbed onto the hero's toe with its claws, but barely breaking the rhythm of his great battle with Hydra, Hercules crushed the crab with his foot. Hera, grateful for the little crustacean's heroic but pitiful effort, gave it a place in the sky.

yes it's possible you already know this, but just to refresh your memory. you will also need to be reminded in my next posting that cancer has been mis-represented with lots of symbols and meaning. In the Egyptian records of about 2000 BC it was described as Scarabaeus (Scarab), the sacred emblem of immortality,,

to be continued.

Naijachix, i'm in. ride on, we're all ears.

like i said earlier, the Crab plays a minor role in the Twelve Labors of Hercules.

During the 2nd labor of Hercules, which was to fight and kill the Hydra with many heads.
the Hydra called up an ally, the crab which bit Hercules hills and made him vulnerable,
and thus the saying "Hercules Hill".

a lot of mis-representation have been made on the myth of the cancer, In the 12th century, an illustrated astronomical manuscript shows it as a water beetle. Albumasar writes of this sign in the work published in 1489 as a large crayfish. Bartschius and Stanislaus Lubienitzki, in the 17th century, described it as a lobster,

Cancer is said to have been the place for the Akkadian Sun of the South, perhaps from its position at the winter solstice in very remote antiquity. But afterwards it was associated with the fourth month Duzu (June-July in the modern western calendar), and was known as the Northern Gate of Sun.

There are differs version of this myth, the Western astrological sign Cancer of the tropical zodiac (June 21 - July 22) differs from the astronomical constellation and the Hindu astrological sign of the sidereal zodiac (July 21–August 9). In Greek mythology this crab was the one that Hercules faced right after he defeated the hydra.

It was also said to be the domicile of the Moon or "House of the Moon", and this concept might have originated from an ancient belief that Moon was located here at the creation of the world. also the Chiness belief that the moon smiles at the earth on july 4th, which is also the time the Cancer is said to be the "exaltation of Jupiter".

meanwhile let's re-visit the myth of Herculean task.

Hercules was the Roman name for the greatest hero of Greek mythology -- Heracles
Like most authentic heroes, Heracles(Hercules) had a god as one of his parents, being the son of the supreme deity Zeus and a mortal woman.

Hi every one, I am a cancerian i really need to learn and know more about this sign
Thanks a lot Naijachix

thupsie your very welcomed.

like i said earlier, the sun is currently facing the cancerian star. . . .
let me gist you a little about cancerian i.e the cancer native and the sun:

Sun in Cancer natives have a strong survival instinct. They are protective of those they care about,
and of themselves too. They are often quite reticent about sharing their inner selves to the rest
of the world, and are often caught up in reminisce.

Cancers have a reputation for moodiness, although this trait is most evident when the Moon is in Cancer.
Cancer needs roots. They resist change to an extent, and concern themselves about being secure and safe
in almost everything they do.

Cancers can be quite intrigued by objects with history attached to them — antiques, photos,
souvenirs, and the like.

Cancer is a very sensitive sign, and they don't always appreciate it when you are blunt with them.
Their reactions to hurt will depend on how thick a shell they have developed. Most Cancers react by
withdrawing or retreating. Some have developed an ability to manipulate others to get what they want.
They avoid direct confrontations almost as a rule.

see ya leta

yes i'm back.

Cancers are, in fact, quite yielding and soft when you have them in the right mood. They are one of the more hospitable signs of the zodiac. Sure, they can be touchy and indirect, but they are also very dependable, caring souls.

Some Famous people with Sun in Cancer: Pamela Anderson, Kevin Bacon, Beck (Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Cancer), Mel Brooks, George Bush Jr., Bill Cosby, Tom Cruise, Willem Dafoe (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Cancer), Vin Diesel (Sun and Mercury in Cancer), Harrison Ford (Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Cancer), Woody Guthrie (Sun and Moon in Cancer), Jessica Hahn, Tom Hanks, Anjelica Huston (Sun and Mars in Cancer), Ann Landers, Juliette Lewis (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Cancer), Richard Lewis, Anne Morrow Lindbergh (Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Mars in Cancer), Lindsay Lohan, Courtney Love (Sun and Moon in Cancer), Tobey Maguire, Princess Diana, Carlos Santana, Fred Savage (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Cancer), Jimmy Smits, Sylvester Stallone, Patrick Stewart, Donald Sutherland (Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Cancer), Montel Williams, Robin Williams (Sun and Moon in Cancer).

i'll talk about the mystery of cancer and the moon in a later post.

enjoy. . . .

I am cancerian, born,bred and once dead, a cancer dead!

The psychological nature of the pure Cancerian is rather like the physical nature of the crab and other crustaceans: a hard outer shell conceals an interior that is soft and vulnerable to injury. .To outsiders Cancerians present a hard appearance, giving the impression that they are rough and unsympathetic; to those who know them well they are gentle and compassionate. A sea crab is totally attached to its home, in the most literal way, and the pure Cancerian is, in metaphorical terms, equally attached to his/her home - his/her life is centred on partners, parents, children and their surroundings.

A Cancerian is a loyal and devoted friend, an even more devoted parent or child, and one who can be relied upon in all circumstances - Cancerians would rather betray themselves than those who are close to them. As they are themselves so loyal, Cancerians are badly wounded if
others are disloyal to them. Their reaction is almost always to withdraw, like a crab into its shell, rather than to attempt to revenge themselves on those who have hurt them. Cancerian individuals include and have included the poet Byron, the writer and artist Jean Cocteau, the painter
Chagall, the movie star Gina Lollobrigida, and that extraordinary novelist and confidence trickster 'Baron Corvo'.

Sexuality and the Emotions:-
Beneath an outward aspect which suggests coolness to the point of frigidity, Cancerian men and women are often highly sexed. "The Cancerian type was attributed to the Element of Water by the astrologers of old, but as far as the emotions are concerned the Water of the pure Cancerian is that which erupts from volcanic depths rather than that which is found in ice-cold mountain lakes. The strong physical urges of at least some Cancerians are modified by their attachment to the home and those they know well. In a sense Cancerians never leave their parents: the female Cancerian will seek a lover who is also a father figure; the male will rarely value a partner who does not have some maternal qualities. On the whole Cancerians make good long-term relationships. These, however, are sometimes marred by an emotional moodiness which can be trying to those who have to cope with it day by day. Cancerians tend to swing between extremes of attraction and repulsion, elation and depression, optimism and pessimism. Only someone who is prepared to accept such swings of temperament should marry a Cancerian.

General Character:-
The first, and even the second, impression made by a Cancerian is often an unfavourable one. He/she strikes others as ultralogical, a person who does not fully appreciate the feelings and problems of others, who adopts a sternly practical attitude lacking in sympathy
and empathy. Nothing could be more erroneous; whatever their outward aspects, Cancerians are the kindest, most generous and most protective of human beings.
They are also the most sensitive and are extremely easily hurt. Cancerians respond very badly to criticism and such criticism rarely has good results, for Cancerians do not respond to it by making greater efforts in an attempt to do better but by running away from the scene. However good
the motives of the critic, the Cancerian feels under attack and goes into retreat, withdrawing into the crab-like shell which feels familiar and utterly safe. Thus, for example, the Cancerian child who is told that his painting is attractive but that his perspective is defective will respond, not by concentrating on improving his/her perspective, but by giving up painting in favour of metalwork. Similarly, the adult Cancerian will retreat from anyone who does not enthusiastically respond to a kindly action or an agreeable word. There is no doubt that this causes more extrovert types to find considerable difficulty in establishing good relationships with Cancerians. If they persist, however, it is well worth the effort, for it would be hard to find a more rewarding friend or associate than a Cancerian whose trust has been won.

Life-Style:-
Home is the most important aspect of the pure Cancerian's life, and if he/she is to be happy at work the workplace must acquire some of the characteristics of home. That is to say, the Cancerian must feel secure in his/her work and feel that workmates are all part of some enormous family. Any type of enterprise which demands the utmost loyalty from its staff and, in turn, endeavours to protect them from the harshness of the outside world provides an admirable work environment for the pure Cancerian -a university, an old-established school or a traditional financial concern, for example. Nevertheless, a Cancerian's work life must not be too humdrum: Cancerians are often imaginative, in spite of their sometimes pedestrian outward aspect, and they also tend to be shrewd and intelligent. Any successful Cancerian career must provide some scope for these qualities. Provided the home environment is right, Cancerians do not care whether that home is in the depths of the countryside or the midst of the city.

snugle, you're highly and honorably welcomed.

the house is becoming more interesting. . . .

yes, lets talk about the the cancer and the moon. in late jun and early jul the moon is mostly in a deep love relationship with the cancer native.
let's face it. The Moon is "at home" in the sign of Cancer, as the Moon is the natural ruler/care-taker of the sign,caring for her like a husband should care for his lovely wife.

Moon in Cancer natives have a large potential to be able to get in touch with the feelings and moods of others. Often, they are quite wrapped up in themselves. Their memories of the past are outstanding, especially for all things emotional. Moon in Cancer people are never detached—they cling to things, their home, and people they care for. They seek out security and familiarity in all they do. They look for peace and quiet. Their attachment to all that is safe means they are a little leery of change.

These peace-loving souls dislike superficiality in all of its forms. They are devoted and accommodating. The insecure ones accumulate things in an attempt to feel secure.

Because of their strong attachment to, and memory of, the past, others may complain that Moon in Cancer natives tend to whip a dead horse. They may dwell on hurts long after everyone else has moved on. When they feel they have been taken for granted (which may be often!), they don't always confront others directly. This is when they can use roundabout ways to get your attention. In fact, these natives, when they are insecure, can become quite manipulative. They can also be victims of habit.

These people can have a hard time compartmentalizing their lives, simply because their watery Moon tends to know no boundaries. Sometimes, as a result, they may act irrationally.

One of the most delightful characteristics of Moon in Cancer people is their loony sense of humor. These people can be extraordinarily funny. Their moodiness can baffle others, but their unique outlook on life is something most people can appreciate.

When treated with tenderness and understanding, Moon in Cancer natives return the favor with warmth and protection. Give them security, and you'll take the crabbiness out of the Crab, at least for awhile.
