Dr.Nikki's Zodiac Signs:
Cancer - the Crab

June 21st to  July 22nd
Cancer is the sign of the Crab.  The crab is an
unusual being as it carries its home with it when it
travels.  Whether the mighty Alaskan King Crab
which crawls along the murky depths or the red crab
which makes the annual migration across the island to
reach the wet surf to mate and procreate, Crabs live inside
their shell.  Even the hermit, known for hiding and seclusion,
carries his shell until it is time to crawl from within and find
a more comfortable abode.  This is one of the primary
associations of the sign of Cancer – home, hearth and family
truly are what is important to those born under this sign.

Receptive and sensitive, Cancers are known for being
emotional and caring.  If you’re getting involved with a
Cancer in a romantic relationship remember how important emotions are to this
person.  Although the exterior of most crabs are hard, the interior is soft flesh
and organs.  The shell protects the Crab, and one of the pitfalls for those born
in the sign of the Crab is to crawl inside their shells too quickly.  Shy people
are often found born in the sign of the Crab.  

Normally intuitive many Crabs are strong empaths who work in the New Age
Industry.  

Long associated with the sea and the waters, Crab energy is always strongest
near large bodies of water.  Crabs enjoy the home life, but every once in a while
is sure to crawl out of the shallows and dance on the beach in the surf, clicking
claws in the air!  

The associations with Cancer are that you always need to look because there is
a lot more going on there just below the surface.  Cancers are giving and loving,
but most need an emotional grounding in order to be their best.  The thinking
and emotional processes of Cancer people are usually far deeper and more
intricate than others.  Due to this complexity and intricacy they can be
somewhat fragile, especially when caught unawares (think of how the water
sprays from the wave as it hits the surf!).  

Once a Crab has given you their loyalty, it is a gift you will carry for a very
long time because once given rarely is Crab’s loyalty removed.  Due to their
emotional nature, Crabs tend to ride a roller coaster of emotions as they go
through life.  Although today life may suck and everyone stinks, tomorrow is a
new day and Crab’s mood will change.   Crabs are quick to cry at movies or
get misty-eyed watching the elderly couple walking together in the park.  Living
in a sea of emotions, they share their feelings without restraint…normally in a
warm, loving and caring way!

Relationships, obviously, are far more important to Cancer personalites than
anything else.  For the best chance of a good match, look to those born under
the sign of Scorpio or Pisces.  Challenging relationships could well develop with
a Pisces or Virgo personality. Your opposite is Sagittarius which could leave
you feeling alone.
