The CANCER Man

“I sometimes dig for butter rolls.

Or set limed twigs for crabs:

I sometimes search the grassy knolls

For wheels of Hansom-cabs:

And that’s the way,” (he gave a wink)

“By which I get my wealth—

And very gladly will I drink

Your Honor’s noble health.”

A taciturn expert at circumlocution he is. A scatterbrain and a chatterbox he is not. Don’t expect this man to bare his soul when he first meets you. Cancerians never confide in strangers, and there are certain things even their best friends don’t know. It will take a long time and a fair amount of patience to really know him. If you catch him in one of his cantankerous moods, you may not be very anxious to really know him, but try again. Don’t give up so easily.

He can be flirtatious and fickle, but he can also be sensitive and loyal. Without warning, that wrinkled frown can be replaced by a gentle smile. His crabby complaints and gruff manner can warm slowly into a tender tone, just before he breaks into a deep chuckle, a muffled giggle or loud, hysterical lunar laughter. When he’s sad and wistful, you’ll want to put your arms around him, and soothe away his melancholy. When he’s showing off his sharp, intuitive mind, you’ll stare at him in awe. His caution will impress you. His pessimism will depress you.

He can be so courtly, courteous, and considerate, you half expect him to ask you to dance the Virginia Reel. There’s no question that he’s a romantic dreamer, yet he’s so sensible and practical, his enemies may call him “Old Marble Nose” behind his back. What do you do with a man like this?

I am a fish.

While I am skeptical about the zodiac and astrology, the description of Pisces chrecteristics fits me like two peas in a pod.

Pisces is the twelfth and last astrological sign of the Zodiac. Zodiacal Pisces are those born between February 19 and March 20.

People born under the sign of Pisces are characterized by an extraordinary, complex personality. Their dual nature (two fish swimming in opposite directions) means that they often surprise those around them, both positively and negatively. They are full of contradictions that are understandable only to themselves. The same character trait of Pisces, depending on the circumstances, turns out to be their greatest advantage or greatest disadvantage. Gentle and compliant, but when it comes to themselves, they stubbornly stick to their point even when they are wrong. They are full of passion, but they are characterized by little enthusiasm. Spiritual, but prone to addictions. They constantly change their minds and often cannot cope with their emotions. Fish need a lot of attention and tenderness. Thanks to their intuition and sensitivity to all energy, they teach others how important not only the physical side is in life, but also the spiritual one.

The most important advantages of Pisces: creativity, spirituality, empathy
The most important flaws of Pisces: selfishness, oversensitivity, lack of control over emotions.

I can agree with that. I’ve known a South African girl who was a Pisces, Abigail Xhosa. Quite a beauty I must say.

Thanks for your reply

You try to understand him. These aren’t changes of personality. They’re simply lunar moods, moving across his consciousness, here today—gone tomorrow. Both during and between each mood, the Cancer man is true to himself. His nature never deviates from its basic mold, despite the changes of expression that play on his features. Always try to remember that although a Cancerian’s manner can be rough and aloof, his heart is always soft and affectionate, and so full of sentiment it often makes him feel too vulnerable. Then he crawls into his convenient shell (the one he carries with him at all times), safe for a while from his own emotions. You’ll think he’s a real crab and give up when he retreats into injured silence. But the next time he cautiously peeks out to see the sunshine, you’ll be tempted all over again to get close to him. Unfortunately, a Cancer male can be a regular wet dishrag now and then, disparaging everything and everybody, and splashing gloom in big, blue drops all over your ego. Yet, at other times he can be as funny as an orangutan with the hiccups. No wonder you don’t know whether to give him a cold shoulder or a warm hug. The temperature changes of a Cancerian could puzzle anyone. First you shiver under his freezing glances, then you get smothered with devotion. His moods are the meanest when he’s the most afraid of losing something. Maybe it’s you. Reassure him you’re his a thousand and one times. Words of love are music to his ears.

Of course, he may wade into one of his loony spells right in the middle of a tender scene some night under a full moon. Just when you’re drifting away on lovely dreams, he may offer to tell you his favorite poem. You’ll sigh, lean back on his shoulder and close your eyes. Then he’ll cackle something like, “The stag at Eve had drunk his fill—where danced the Moon on Monan’s rill. He blew his nose and shined his shoes—and took a swig of Mountain booze!” It may jolt you out of your magic spell, but that full moon can do strange things to the lunar emotions. What I mean is, he can be as nutty as a cuckoo, even if he is smart enough to make a million dollars and keep it.

I’m glad we brought up money. You will be too. If you’re the kind of gal who likes to pay the rent on time, you’re in love with exactly the right man. He’s almost as fond of security as he is of you. You may have a slight edge, but you can safely consider money your worst rival. He’s going to pursue it with dedication and a sort of quiet, religious fervor for most of his days. (The nights may bring other things to pursue.) It’s not the worst fate you could experience. Finances have fascinated him since childhood, and saving will be substantially more attractive to him than spending. He’s not exactly stingy, but let’s say it’s not likely you’ll ever see him lighting his pipe with a dollar bill for a parlor trick. The Cancerian sense of humor seldom takes in the topic of cold, hard cash. Money is not a laughing matter to the crab. He could probably add a column of figures in his head before he learned the alphabet, and had a paper route when he was eleven. Don’t be surprised if you find he still has his first piggy bank, unopened. The tinkle of silver and the rustle of folding green paper soothe his nerves, but he won’t brag about his Dun and Bradstreet rating. Cancerians seldom collect cash for status. They collect it for its own sweet sake. In fact, he will probably belittle his financial wizardry. He’s “just a poor boy, trying to earn a living, and getting along the best he can.” You may even feel so sorry for him, you’ll offer to get him a loan at the bank. Don’t. He probably owns part of it.

[Abd]

A fire sign on the ascendant may give him a rare extravagant urge, which he’ll resist with admirable courage. Even if he gives in to an occasional spending spree to cheer himself out of a blue mood, it won’t become a habit. Before you start mumbling “tightwad” under your breath, you should know that the Cancer man has an interesting idea of economy. He’d rather take you out to the best restaurant, and get what he pays for, than risk offending his sensitive tastes with over-cooked lamb chops and indifferent service in a second-rate place. He thinks it’s silly to waste money on an imitation Rolex when a real one will amortize itself over the years. A good, conservative Lexus or Cadillac is a safer investment, in his opinion, than a cheap car that depreciates as soon as you drive it around the corner. Quality and thrift are synonymous to the Cancerian. There, I thought that would bring the sparkle back to your eyes!

[Abd]

Even the most poetic and dreamy Cancerians, who spend their lives immersed in music, art or other cultural pursuits, have a shrewd sense of the value of cash. A lunar artist may paint in an attic, but you needn’t send him any Care packages. There are probably some stocks and bonds hidden in the rafters. He won’t donate his paintings, either. He’ll sell them for a pretty price, if he’s a professional. But they’ll be worth it. When a Cancer person tackles a career, he’s sure to be at the top of it. He’s loaded with artistic talent. You might suggest that your Cancer man design your Christmas cards. They’re sure to be lovely, even if he’s only an amateur.

If he’s a true Cancerian, he won’t be wild about sports clothes. There’s a certain formality about his toilet. Whether he’s worth billions or only a few paltry thousands, he likes conservative cuts and good tailoring. He often leans to collar buttons (yes, they still sell them—to Cancerians), French cuffs and expensive shirts he gets wholesale, usually without monograms (too showy; he prefers to be inconspicuous). Even when he’s short of cash for a brief period while he’s working on his first million, his shoes will be polished and his socks will stay up. During any shaky financial period (and it will be temporary), a Cancer male will somehow exude an air of genteel rich, or one who has known better days. If he hasn’t, he will. Fairly substantial amounts of money will someday come to this man, or he’ll be given the opportunity to earn large sums of it. He won’t always be wealthy, but a Cancerian in the unemployment line is as rare as a pineapple tree in Siberia. His secret motto is that “all play and no work gives Jack a skinny billfold,” and he prefers his wallets pleasingly plump.

Let’s hope you find his mother congenial. In fact, let’s pray you do. It’s fairly certain she’ll pop up in his conversation frequently, in remarks like, “My mother never wears much makeup, and she’s a beautiful woman. Don’t you think your eye shadow is a little heavy, sweetheart?” Or “You use frozen pies and instant potatoes? My mother used to bake her own bread when I was a youngster.” This paragon of virtue is quite likely to pop up just as often in person, when you least expect it. “Darling, I have to cancel our date for the theater tonight. I’m driving Mother out to the country for a few days.” To put it mildly, the Cancer man may be reluctant to dethrone Mama and crown you as his new queen. He’s a terribly domesticated crab, for all his occasional stirrings of wanderlust, and if his mother made his home cozy, he’ll be in no hurry to leave it. Cancerians are either very, very close to their mothers or completely alienated from them. The relationship is never casual. Those who don’t revere the maternal parent are either adopted, or jealousy of the father’s place in the mother’s affection has caused an emotional block. Then there can be an unnatural coldness and isolation.
