Cancer is a zodiac sign that governs the breast and maternal functions of the Grand Man or Microcosm. It is a cardinal, feminine, phlegmatic, nocturnal sign, the Positive Pole of the Water Triplicity. The higher attributes of Cancer are feeling and sympathy. The Sun enters Cancer every year on or about the 21st of June, and departs from it on or about the 22d of July. The Sun on entering the sign should be given six days before coming into the full touch and action with the influence of the sign.
Cancer is called the paradox of the twelve. A few harmonious people are to be found in it, which as far as known have not given any especial attention to mental or spiritual development but, generally speaking, the genius of the Cancer sign is exceedingly difficult to explain. Those born under it have a persistent will, a clutch of determination, intuition, and purpose.
Yet they often let go for a slight reason, or for no apparent reason. Cancer is invincible to argument, and cannot be talked out of a thing but if their feelings are hurt, they are apt to lose heart, and abandon whatever they have undertaken. Their great sensitiveness leads them into the most absurd extremes. Cancer is as strong as giants and as weak as infants. These people are fond of travel, often taking long voyages, which are not always successful.
Those born under Cancer will be gifted in many directions far above the average, if educated thoroughly. They have a very superior intelligence, and an aptitude for learning new things and working out new principles. Cancer is generous and full of sympathy for the public good, but they demand a full independence to develop the same. They are often capricious, and frequently change their occupation.
