The Cancer Portrait


by star astrologer Erich Bauer


Cancer: The Soul Diver

Cancers are strongly governed by the unconscious, instinctual and emotional. The moon is their regent and as this celestial body continuously changes its shape, it also goes up and down with them. Euphoria and ecstasy are replaced by end-time moods and unbearable heaviness is followed by the silly lightness of being. However, their moon also connects these people with a source of inexhaustible creativity. If they have the right activity, ideas just bubble out of them: ingenious, funny, beautiful, banal, heartrending, comforting.



Cancer and profession

They feel most comfortable in artistic and creative professions. Whether they are musicians, writers, actors, graphic designers, photographers, advertising professionals, interior designers, or window dressers: These people create sounds, images and spaces in which the soul can dangle, find itself, be at home. Among the top chefs in the world, there are many people with cancer. To pamper others, to cook for them, to whisk them away to a heaven of comfort: In fact, that's one of their favorite things to do. Most of all, these people like to immerse themselves in their or other people's psyche. This pleasure in "soul diving" makes them good psychologists, psychotherapists, educators and "talk masters". In every cancer-stricken person lives a child's soul that delights in fairy tales, dreams, games. Everything that crawls and flies touches their heart. An activity in which they have to do with children or animals, stuffed dolls or toys therefore always exerts a special attraction on them.

Cancer and money

Cancerians have a knack for money. This is demonstrated by such wealthy contemporaries in history as John D. Rockefeller, Elon Musk, Estée Lauder, Hugo Boss and Johann Jakob Astor. In astrology, the astrological sign Cancer is directly associated with business, finance, capital and wealth. What is the basis for this? For one thing, a basic magnetism emanates from them. Astrology says that they attract everything, first of all people, but also money. Then they have this incredible talent to pick up and collect everything that is important and valuable. As is known, money also multiplies just by leaving it in the right place.



All love Cancer for

their security. With a Cancer you always feel comfortable and at home. You can come to him when you want, you are welcome.

What does Cancer need to be happy?

The Cancer feels nowhere so well as in his own four walls. Therefore, you do him no greater pleasure than to help him make his beloved home even more beautiful. Give him a picture, a pillow, candles, music, a kitchen knife, cookbooks or similar. He will be just as happy if you cook for him at your home instead of taking him to a restaurant. Of course, one who is not a Cancer will never get the pasta salad as tasty as one born in June-July. Hospitality will also never be as friendly and warm. Nevertheless, the Cancer is happy not to sit in some impersonal restaurant, where his soul is always pinching and nipping. Furthermore, one thing must be clear from the start: His family comes first! Ninety-nine out of a hundred Cancers love their families, and it is very unlikely that you have just come across the one who does not. If the Cancer is young and doesn't yet have children of his own, you have to expect that he will want to have some very soon. If the Cancer is older, has been married, is now divorced, then his children always come first! Let's assume that your new Cancer love has a son who ignores you when you first meet. Then you have actually already lost, unless you manage to somehow change the mind of this child after all. The same applies to his cat and dog.

At the end of this topic still all kinds and multicolored what the cancer likes in any case: Pillows, candles, junk, past, caravan, bed bottle, moon, campfire, water, skin contact, veil weed, brothers Grimm, thousand-and-one-night, baked apple, number 4, silver, lotus blossom, lace, Dasy, beautiful living, marbles, memory, rum, cooking spoon, sherry.

And he definitely does not like: mendacity, quarrel, rivalry, moving, decluttering, noise, parting, exam, uniform, pressure.



Cancer as boyfriend/girlfriend

You always have a Cancer boyfriend or girlfriend for life. If you lose sight of each other at some point, because professional constraints demand it, and maybe you meet each other only after a few years, it's just like before. Cancerians are also the kind of people who like to meet up with their school class every year to chat about the past and the career of each of their classmates. And, of course, you can count on a Cancer. He is helpful, but conversely doesn't even necessarily expect to be helped when he needs it.

Can Cancers keep a secret?

A Cancer is as secretive as the grave. He never carries on anything that has been entrusted to him. However, sometimes you have to ask him for secrecy. Because a Cancer possesses a kind of family sense. If he should feel that something is rumbling in his family and is detrimental to the family peace, then the cancer blabs it out and reveals it. However, he is only concerned with the inner satisfaction of the family. He does not let anything out that could harm his beloved family. He protects his family with his (cancer) armor. You can't see it, of course, but nothing penetrates it that could harm his family's reputation.



Female Cancer on the test bench

The Cancer woman is the born mother and, like an Italian mamma with pasta and veritable bosoms or the first lady of a nation, embodies the primal maternal par excellence. Men succumb to her, just as they succumbed to their mother. A man who does not pay homage to a Cancer woman probably has an unresolved mother problem. Unfortunately, the conclusion is not true the other way around as well. You can't assume you don't have a mother problem if you love a Cancer woman. There are also droves of men who fall for them precisely because they finally hope to be "mommy's favorite". Thus, every Cancer woman is in the awkward position of taking her partner not only as a husband and father of her children, but often as a client - with her as a psychotherapist who may have to straighten out sick male fantasies. She is beautiful no matter what she looks like, because she radiates inner beauty. She feels like a real woman and thus makes a man feel like a real man. She spreads a magic that even her husband's friends succumb to. She has magic: what she touches multiplies, in her surroundings life blossoms and matures. She is incredibly rich in inner resources and spiritual strength. Are there still any doubts that she is the best? To be on the safe side, let's mention her disadvantages: she is incredibly unfair when it comes to jealousy. She allows herself to flirt and joke with other men at any time. If he does, he's a cad. Every man gradually comes to the brink of a split personality next to her: one time she wants him to be her son, then she wants him to be her husband, and the third time she wants him to be her daddy. Oh, and then there are her whims! If you want to understand her, first study Freud's psychoanalysis, then the squaring of the circle, and finally Einstein's theory of relativity ... She is so capricious that you can't even leave the room without being sure that when you come back she won't be someone else entirely.

Male Cancer on the test bench

The Cancer man embodies the ideal of a soulful, tender, romantic man who understands women and makes them feel special, unique. He doesn't come across as a womanizer either; rather, he is shy and waits with the courtship dance until the woman takes the initiative. In general, he knows how to awaken motherly feelings in a woman. And isn't he really like a little boy who doesn't really know what's going on in this rough world? Doesn't he need a strong woman by his side to guide him, support and build him up, comfort and mother him? But beware. This man compares every woman - unconsciously or knowingly - with his own mother. And weeks, months, if not years are bound to pass before he finally compliments his wife, "Now you've caught up with my mother ...!" However, there are also Cancer men who claim to be finished with their mother. These, in turn, should be treated with particular caution. Because what the cerebral cortex believes is far from being the whole truth. Much more likely, a Cancer who says he's done with the "mother trip" just wants to be pampered in a very special way. Is a Cancer man worth waiting for, fighting over, and competing with his mother? To whom honor is due! No one knows how to spoil a woman better, cook more divinely, caress more tenderly and bring her to climax more persistently than he does. Of course, so much devotion also has its price: Cancers want their partner completely and always, there is no trading. Frustrated wives will not find an uplifting resting place with them, and adventure-hungry teenagers will not find a place to sleep at night. And all curious people, who nibble from their tender meat, but do not want to do without the delicacies of other astrological representatives, are threatened with the ultimate red card: Out! A Cancer man wants everything! Does he also give back just as much? As long as you don't ask anything impossible from him, yes! The Cancer man is the type who will always put himself before his wife and children. A Cancer is also a good "investment" in economic terms. He has an instinct for money, he has all the prerequisites to make sure that one day you can live in a cottage or at least a nice penthouse apartment. No disadvantages? Yes, there are! He's terribly jealous, and you'll probably never be able to teach him properly that it doesn't mean a lack of manliness if he doesn't freak out like an animal every time his wife talks to another man. He is hopelessly old-fashioned and it costs him great effort to realize that the woman can also stand her "man" at any time. But worst of all is his capriciousness: today he beams at you, gives you a gold ring - just like that. He invites you to a three-star restaurant, massages you devotedly for a whole evening ... and then, the next morning, he doesn't even look at you, leaves the house without any greeting: What on earth happened? Nothing. Or nothing that could even begin to explain this change in personality. Maybe he had a bad dream. Or the moon is to blame...



Small crabs

Small Cancerians are sensitive and cuddly and need a lot of security and nest warmth. Too many environmental stimuli unsettle them, be it noise, constantly new toys or a frequently changing environment. They feel comfortable in a familiar family atmosphere. They do not appreciate too frequent changes of caregivers. More than other children, they need their mother and depend on a stable relationship with her. They are open to the feelings of others. If important caregivers are sad or angry, these children pick up on it, even if they don't let on. They can hardly distinguish between their own feelings and what they pick up from their environment. These children also suffer from relationship problems of their parents or even professional difficulties. In order for them to have a happy childhood, it is important that parents take care of their own well-being. The happier they are, the happier the little Cancer will be. He needs parents who clearly say what they mean and feel.

Aged Cancer

The older a Cancer gets, the bigger their family becomes, simply by having children of their own, and maybe even having them. This would be perhaps the greatest fulfillment of a Cancer's life: children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But such large families may still exist somewhere in India or Africa, but very rarely in Europe or the USA. In these countries, it tends to be the case that cancers live alone in old age and at most still have their partner with them. This is very sad from the point of view of a cancer. But before melting into self-pity, many crabs find happiness in their inner world and in the world of dreams. Being a dreamer initially means diving into your dream world only for yourself. The dreamer would have to reckon with head shaking and disbelief if he told about his strange experiences there. He confides only in himself, speaks only to himself about his discoveries "over there" in the other world. After all, the wisdom of astrology does not leave him defenseless, for as a Cancer he possesses a carapace behind which he can retreat if necessary.
