WHAT
IS THE ZODIAC? |
 |
|
|
 |
|
At the
time and date of birth, the
planets will be at certain
positions in the Zodiac.
They will also be in certain
houses, form certain
aspects, and the Ascendant
and Midheaven will be
defined also for that
specific time and date and
place of birth.
All this information can be
represented pictorially in a
"Birthchart", or "Horoscope
Wheel", as shown.
Around the edge are the
twelve signs of the Zodiac -
shown by their symbols.
Within the circle are the
planets, also shown by their
symbols and positioned
within the circle at their
respective positions along
the Zodiac. The Houses are
shown by dividing this
circle diametrically,
beginning at the Ascendant
and proceeding around the
wheel every thirty degrees,
as is also shown.
This construction - the Birthchart - is essentially
a "photograph" of the
heavens at a given time and
date, which is why the date
and time of your birth must
be known. It is unique to
that time and date, and also
the location on the surface
of the Earth which is why
the place of birth must also
be known, and therefore
unique to the person for
whom the chart is drawn.
Thus the birthchart contains
all the information the
astrologer needs to perform
his art. We have within it
the planetary positions both
in the Zodiac and in the
houses - from which the
aspects may be computed, the
Ascendant and Midheaven, and
from this the astrologer may
deduce any other
astrological measurements
that he requires.
All of these things are used
by astrologers to determine
the character, and predict
the future of the individual
for whom the horoscope is
cast. The Sun in Aries for
example means something
different as regards a
person’s character than the
Sun in Taurus. And similarly
for the other planets, and
the aspects they form as
well as the houses they
occupy at the time of birth.
The detailed "reading" or
"delineation" as it is
called is quite a complex
process and demands a good
deal of experience. The
horoscope you have here is
very detailed and accurate
and conforms to standard and
tested astrological practice
- which is, as both an art
and a science, many
thousands of years old!

what makes a Cancer tick? |

 Cuddle
and caress a Cancerian today!
Cancerians need to feel safe and
secure, and to know that they are
loved and adored
This is the sign of Moons and
Junes literally! Leo is led by the
Sun, but Cancer is ruled by the
other leading light of the zodiac,
the Moon. Throughout history and
legend, the Moon has always
represented motherhood, and she
rules the tides, menstruation, and
everything else associated with the
28-day cycle. The Moon is the
peaceful, passive, defensive drive
within us, and in the natal chart
she shows our maternal instincts,
habits and childhoods and whether we
love or loathe our mums.
Generally speaking,
Cancerians are ultra-protective, and
that can mean they protect
themselves as well as others. A very
good friend of mine says that if you
think of a rocker, clad in
chain-mail and leather, looking
fearfully ferocious, then try to
imagine taking all that chain-mail
off, you'll find a very ordinary
person underneath and you can say
exactly the same thing about Cancer
the Crab. There they are. with that
solid shell, that concrete coating,
waving their pincers about
provocatively, and pretending to be
pugnacious.
When you first meet a
Cancerian, you will sense a
hardness, tetchiness, and moodiness,
as Cancerians are always on the
defensive! These are the folk who
rush into the room and slap you
round the face, just in case you're
going to be nasty!
On a positive level, this is
a devoted sign. Grabs have a fierce
family feeling, can get quite
clannish, and put their kith and kin
at the centre of their universes.
Many Cancerian men tie the
nuptial knot. but can't untangle the
apron-strings that bind them to
their mums and dads. This can cause
fantastic flare-ups within their
marriages, because their wives feel
upstaged by their mothers-in-law and
lots of Cancerian women spend almost
all their weekends at home in the
bosom of their families, even when
they've got a husband and six kids
at home.
Cancerians can remember what
they had for breakfast on their
second birthdays, but they can also
remember when you last let them
down. They will hurl back past
slights, which happened many moons
before, in the middle of a row. They
also like to live in the past and
they're very traditional, and
tremendous collectors of bits and
bobs, especially if they are full of
memories. They call them mementoes.
Other people call them junk and they
hoard letters like mad. A true
Cancerian will have kept all the
letters he or she has ever received
from the age of six months onwards.
You see, they hate to throw
things away. A Cancerian friend of
mine once went whizzing off to a
jumble sale at eleven in the morning
loaded with the memorabilia she was
chucking out. At half past three she
bought the lot back for ten bob. She
couldn't bear to part with a single
sock!
Being a Water sign, and ruled
by the Moon, Cancerians are
powerfully psychic, and they will
have incredibly intuitive instincts.
Crowds of Cancerians can walk into a
room and instantly pick up an
atmosphere. Their superb sensitivity
also means they can be hurt far too
easily, and often over nothing at
all. Some of them are
hypersensitive, and should realise
that when they are told something,
it's not always meant as a
criticism, or an out-and-out
rejection.
Cancerians should try to
toughen their soft skins which sit
beneath their shells, and not
harbour hurts or supposed slights.
When they do take umbrage, they
become changeable and crabby, mean,
moony and moody, huffy and hostile
and almost unapproachable at times.
They should use their highly
developed instincts in a positive
manner, and trust them and live by
them.
Security is of vital
importance to Cancerians; often if
they feel down and depressed, and
are doddering about in the doldrums,
it's because they don't have a real
base to go home to. They need the
emotional security of having their
own four walls about them, whereas
Taureans need nests for material
security.
If you're married to a
Cancerian, or have a chum who's a
Cancerian, you have to behave like a
cuckoo clock, and at every half hour
pop your head round the door and say
'I love you!' Then they'll feel safe
and secure. They can be so gruff
that they take you by surprise
sometimes. So, if you know a
Cancerian who is being crabby, just
remember the rocker with the
chain-mail. Underneath that hard
shell shimmers a heart of pure gold,
which is Just waiting to melt as the
first words of love cascade from
your lips!
Now, of course, there are
some cantankerous, cross and cranky
Cancerians about! They'll be mean
and moody, and will scowl like
scallops. They'll click away with
their pincers, sounding like a
couple of castanets on a package
holiday, but they will still be soft
and sweet underneath.
Cancerians really do need to
be needed, and know that they're
loved. Otherwise, they can't
function fully. Remember this is the
polar sign of Capricorn, and most
Capricorns are frightened of
rejection. Cancerians can be just
the same. If they do have
particularly firm filial feelings,
especially for a matriarchal mum,
they'll prefer to hide at home than
go out into the big wide world and
face whatever it may have to offer
them and when they do scuttle out
from under a rock to test the waters
of life, if they're used and abused,
they'll sound a furious fandango
with their perpetually pirouetting
pincers, and then rush back to the
boulder as fast as their pins can
propel them.
Babies are a must for this
sign. Whereas procreation is
important for Leos, who love
children and like to be proud of
their own cubs. with Cancer it is
much deeper, and more a case of
carrying on the family name. |

Cancer as a friend |
|
|
YOU'RE ON to a good thing
here. Cancerians make cherishing chums and marvellous mates. If you
become a buddy, you'll automatically also become part of the family.
Everything that applies to your friend's brothers and sisters,
uncles and aunts, will apply to you, too. For good and bad.
That means you'll have to behave in the same way to your
mate, being kind and caring. You can tell him or her when to go
home, when to leave you alone, and when to stop sympathising, or
interfering. But do it gently. Cancerians, bless their crabby cotton
claw coverings, can ring you up and say 'How are you? All alone?
I'll be right round to keep you company' when you really want to be
by yourself. If you say, in best Garbo style, that you want to be
alone, your sweet, sympathetic Cancerian will Instantly be replaced
by a cranky, crusty, crabby crustacean, who will take it personally.
They really are fantastic friends, but they often take things
too much to heart. Cancerians don't stand aside from their fun
friendships enough, turning them into embroiled and emotional
experiences. Many Cancerians will have platonic friendships for a
couple of years, and then suddenly get an urge to jump into bed with
their buddies, and they can destroy the relationship as a result.
Cancerians love to look after the people they care for, and
one of their favourite pastimes is getting all their pals together
under their roofs and giving them a good feed. They like to
socialise in their own homes, and though they'll have the odd
drink-up down the pub, they'll be the first to say 'Everyone back to
my place'. Cancerian chums are also devoted, and will defend you to
the hilt, as they will defend anything they care about.
Your Cancerian pal will be delighted to dash round and dole
out tea and sympathy when you need it, and hold your hand over the
chocolate cake. He or she will like to have a good natter, and lots
of Cancerians indulge in the teeniest of small talk. They can have
great gossips about the shelving systems in supermarkets, which is
all right when you don't fancy discussing whether the chicken or the
egg came first. They like rather prosaic pursuits, such as going
shopping with a close chum, and they adore their little habits.
Cancerians don't expect too much razzle dazzle from their
friends. They like cosy, comfortable carryings-on, and adore going
to jumble sales, winter fairs, summer fetes, spring bazaars and
autumn bonfires any season is a reason to rummage through a lot of
old junk and they love weddings.
A treat for your Cancerian pal would be a day out with you,
ambling around a lot of antique shops, because most Cancerians
collect old things of one sort or another. Just don't expect your
pal to want to do anything too engrossing or enterprising. A
Cancerian's energies are all directed towards the family arid
fireside. So when it comes to friendships, the Cancerian simply
needs someone to chat to, and have a good gossip with.
As this is a Water sign, the Cancerian may enjoy messing
about on the river, especially if you've packed a picnic basket.
This is also the sign of mountain streams and lakes, so why not
brush up on your yodelling and amble off to Austria together!
Don't forget that Cancerians absolutely adore history, so
they'll enjoy going to see old edifices such as Stonehenge or
Edinburgh Castle. Their lunar sensitivity means that they'll be able
to absorb the atmosphere to the utmost. They also love old films,
and some Cancerians start sniffling the second the credits commence
for sentimental old stuff like The Wizard of Oz. It may not be
because they are sad, so much as the fact that the film will remind
them of their childhoods and how happy they were. In fact, anything
that reminds these Cancerians of their pasts will be bound to be a
big hit. Just remember to take along a hanky for when the floodgates
open! |

Cancer IN LOVE |
|
|
When Cancerians care, they go the whole hog. This is doting
and devotion time, with lots of billing and cooing, though
Cancerians aren't love-birds like Librans.
It's incredibly important for Cancerians who care not to let
themselves go immediately. But, quite honestly, that's like trying
to hold back a team of wild horses! Once a Cancerian has latched on
to someone with those prehensile pincers, it's very difficult for
him or her to remember that anyone else exists but the object of
affection.
That's all very well, and a Cancerian woman can still be in
love with her husband thirty years after she did arabesques down the
aisle, but she won't know anyone outside her family. Cancerians in
love like to wrap themselves and their partners up in cocoons, and
stay in the cosy chrysalis, away from the outside world. But this
can cause terrible trouble and traumas if the Cancerian has a
passion for a person who doesn't want to be restricted in this way.
Once the affair is over, the Cancerian will feel rejected, rebuffed
and repulsed. Some signs could shrug it off, but the Cancerian will
go home to mum. He or she can even refuse to go out with anyone else
ever again, just in case lightning strikes twice. Ever wondered why
many Cancerians wear rubber-soled shoes? Well, now you know!
The classic sign of a Cancerian who's in love and getting
nowhere fast is that he or she will become stroppy, slink back into
that shell, sulk and be silent. When asked what the matter is, the
Cancerian will find it difficult to spill the beans, but may finally
turn on a torrent of tears.
A Cancerian in love can be the most angelic of amours, warm
and wonderful, or an emotional tornado and a crabby crustacean who
dissolves into weepings and wailings at a moment's notice. It will
all depend on how much control the Cancerian has.
These are very affectionate creatures, and they'll nuzzle you
with their nippers. But unless there is a focus for their feelings,
their highly sensitive Watery Intellects may make them imagine
things that don't exist, though they will never be as fantastic as
Pisces.
Once a Cancerian settles down to a committed relationship, it
will usually be for life. But Cancerians rarely recover from the
guilt ingrained from their first love.
Cancerians have gallons of guilt, which they get from their
opposite numbers, the Capricorns. They can even suffer from real
persecution complexes. Cancerians can replay scenes time and time
again, on their mental videos, wondering if it was all their fault.
They'll revel in recriminations, while howling into hankies.
All Water signs have a sensual side, and Cancerians like sex,
often because of the cuddly closeness it can bring. Cancerians can
get really carried away over sex, but if they screw for the sake of
it, they should see it as such. They're only asking for trouble when
they think that a one-night stand will automatically lead to nuptial
bliss! Because when the fling floats off, without so much as an
'I'll call you', the Cancerian will be completely crushed.
If you want to make a Cancerian go crazy about you, be kind,
considerate, and chat about your family. Mention your mother.
Casually drop into the conversation that all you want is to live in
a cosy little nest with the one you love.
One word of warning. If a Cancerian you care for starts
singing 'I'm getting married in the morning' it's not an edited
highlight from My Fair Lady. It's a heavy hint! |
