A cancer trait you won't see in the books

Unexpected Cancer Traits Not Commonly Mentioned

A trait often seen in cancers but rarely highlighted in books is their strong intuition combined with a tendency to avoid confrontation. Cancers are deeply sensitive and rely on their gut feelings to navigate relationships, yet they often prefer to withdraw rather than confront issues directly.

What would you think a cancer trait would be that you wouldn't typically see in the books, but that you find common?

I'm going back to the basics today and reading on personality traits of cancers.

We understand strangeness ....we have an emotional strangeness to our souls....

We are the moon and ruled by the moon after all. Image Not Found

This is my fav tarot card ...tarot of the imagination is the deck it's from.

We love music and are REALLY sensitive to art!:-)

I have never met a cancer that did not get emotional strangeness and even the dark emotions. But the diff is we get it without losing ....who we are ...we're the moon in the dark ..we are not the not the darkness but nor are we the light ....we are not the sun...

We are a different kind of light ..but it's the only natural light you will find in the dark. All other light sources in darkness at night are fake. False ...That's ok ...that's fine. They are what they are.

But we are the only source of natural light in the darkness ..think about that...

And we bring it forth from somewhere ...the place we bring it from is something you can't look directly into without being blinded ...but we can show you...

You can stare at us ...

The moon is much misunderstood in folklore and much maligned. But it's not man made ...it would be here without humans. It's real and so natural.

We are what we are. Oh so strange...

We are the subconscious.

Our culture is very literal and rigid. It doesn't suit cancers.

Circularity is a basic attribute that permeates all movements. We see the universe as a whole.

Thanks seraph. That was really poetic and enlightening. I guess we do have a crazy understanding of the dark emotions.. I understand things that others would find questionable. I like the symbolism in the moon you put down. The only natural light in the darkness. 🙂

I don't think people astrology book talks about the mirroring aspects of cancers

cancer don't like to be told what to do ...

cancers can be aggressive when it comes to something they want

That is true. That is probably part of why me and this Capricorn don't get along at work. We kind of carry the same traits in that respect.. but it's been labelled to Capricorn textbook-wise.

This is true... Everyone thinks I'm either awesome/cool or weird or maybe both. I take on different accents, sound/act different depending who I'm talking to they say its like I'm atleast 2 different people ?

You've probably already read this.. but just in case you haven't. It just explains the two personalities that you're talking about. I'm the same decan. 🙂

Crabs might be a little naive when first meeting someone, but if said someone is trying to hide something, they'll pick*pick*pick until the Crab exposes it.

Crabs will, however keep discretion, unless that secrecy is going to hurt another.

@clippityclop do you have any Gem placements?

My eros is in Gemini. I always thought it was part of the reason why I had gemini venus/mars partners. Do you have any gem placements?

Gem Mars... I def like to multi task and a bit ADD ? Also, I understand Gemini dual nature as I am a lot like that with decisions, mind changing, saying one thing doing another...I may need 2 guys , I guess or a Gemini lol

What you won't read in the books about Cancer? Probably that quite a few of us are quite fond of Gems.

Many of us are very dark.

Some Cancer's can throw the whole indirect thing right out the window, and actually be VERY direct.

It's an aggressive placement.

Extremely people smart. Cancer's might very well know you better than you know yourself.

Many male crabs like to receive flowers

We cry. A LOT. Though Cancer moons seem to have a little more control over this.

We accept the weirdos and freaks because they are our kindred. We just hide it better to blend in society. Thinking about what seraph posted a majority of my friends are entertainers of some sort. Some are scary individuals to the regular folks when I see them as beautiful just misunderstood. All we're missing is a circus tent.

Stylishness - depends on who you ask

Found this on baldness: http://www.belgraviacentre.com/blog/hair-loss-and-star-signs-310/

Conclusion

While for some people it is interesting to compare hair and star signs, science has shown hair loss to be connected to diet, stress, hormones, medical conditions and genetics. For hair loss in women, there can be a range of these factors involved. While for men, male pattern (genetic) baldness is the primary cause.

If you go with astrology, they are saying Sagg and Gemini for baldness and receding hairlines.

I often read about us cancers being boring whiny creatures. Never read about the kinky thoughts we have....

Boring? I've never been called that except once by an Aries Male who thought my being closed off was boring but I thought he was boring too lol. Then we date and he fell hard and I still thought he was boring ?

I like that. We really are weirdos.. I love just seeing it on dxp as well. A lot of strange cancer folk haha. But it's embraced.

I think that insecurity works differently in Cancers.

A lot of other signs can be insecure - but more about whether they are smart enough, funny enough, sexy enough.

Cancer's seem to be more insecure about their humanity, their soul. "Am I a good person?"
