Cancer children

Have a Cancer son born this year and would like to know how they are as children?
His sun is in Cancer, moon in Libra, Rising in Leo, Venus in Gemini and Mars in Virgo

Congratulations! Is this your first child?

Well I can't say how his other planets will affect things, but as a Cancer I can tell you he will need a LOT of affection. I didn't get hugged enough as a child and it screwed me up; I'm still dealing with the emotional issues this caused.

Be sure to keep him social; we're very introverted for the most part, but that's only when we're hiding in our shell to protect ourselves from being hurt. If you give your son the love and affection he needs it will make him much more confident and happy, which will make others love him and love being around him. If you let him hide in his shell forever he'll end up a depressed outcast.

As his mother you will be the most important person in his life. He'll likely never want to be apart from you, will cry when you drop him off at school, and will have no problem letting you take care of him all the time. Much as you may want to always protect him, you have to be firm and get him to make his own decisions and take care of his own business. You'll always be in his heart, but he has to learn to be independant.

I know a site that has great info on how to raise kids based on sun signs, but I'm typing all this on my phone at work so I can't add the link until I get home.

Cancer guy here....Congrats!!! I agree with Zenbear.....He will need allot of affection from his mother....that relationship between a cancer son and his mother is very important and will play a big part in his development.....My mother wasnt around when i was younger but my father and step mom did ok with the affection....I just didnt get allot of attention from them....So at times I was introverted and didnt learn to come out of my shell for a long time. But I was pretty much a good child got along with everyone and never got into trouble unless I was with certain friends....Lol...i could be influenced easy at times......But i was very protective of family and could be moody at times.

Yes...Hugs were very important along with occasional encouragment.

Cancer Sun = typical cancer

Moon in libra = A charming flirt at times

Leo ascendent= great leadership skills and nice hair LOL

Venus in gemini= certainly a man with words when it comes to wooo women, fickle at times

mars in virgo = Not sure about this one, never really looked it up, maybe someone can help me with this one, but my guess a bit OCD when things don't go his way ?

Thanks you guys ,I'm starting to see a little bit of what you're saying already now. He cries non-stop if I'm not the one holding him and gets mad at his dad if even looks like he's going to take him from me 😢 I always carry him around, hate putting him down, but do encourage others to try and hold him and play with him so that he gets used to others. I have an older son who is 9 years old and loves his little brother. He's a Gemini, and a very quiet and calm one at that 🙂

I wonder if my chart says anything about how I get along with this little one? I have a sun in Libra ( born towards the end of it..a Libra /Scorpio cusp) Leo moon, Scorpio Rising , Venus in Sagittarius and Mars in Leo. I'm not the typical Libra though, I tend to like to be at home with my family a lot and although I love meeting new people, I let only a few into my life. My children are everything for me and I make sure they get a lot of love from me 🙂 My husband is an Aquarius with his moon in Aquarius and his rising in Cancer 🙂 His Venus, too is in Sagittarius and his mars is in Aquarius.

Reading through this webpage again depresses me a little. It's hard to see how my life could have been so much better had I been raised properly... It's not to say my mother was a bad parent, but being a Capricorn she simply doesn't understand my emotions. These quotes right here perfectly describe my life:

"Never ever make the mistake of ignoring the sensitivity of a Cancerian child; it may hamper his emotional development. It is better to help him get over his numerous fears, with your love and care. Otherwise, he may turn into a snappy, brooding and bitter individual."

"If you ignore a Cancer baby for too long or say harsh words to him, he may go into the gloomy spell. Then, he will turn into a crybaby, who will keep to himself and find it difficult to form friendships and get close to people."

Please don't let this happen to your son.

Would you like a brochure?

Awesome. Thank you so much everyone for your insights... I'm so in love with this little one I want him to become the best he can be 🙂 Just like his older brother 😉
