Cancer

“The Crab”

Short Summary

Cancers are cute. They pretend to be tough but it’s all an
act. They have great memories and lots of them are good
at history. They love anything old, like museums, antiques
and your grandmother. They are fairly secretive and hide
things – food in their drawers and cupboards for instance.
They stay pretty close to home, are extremely psychic, have
a great sense of humour and are the world’s best cooks. They
collect things. Other people call this garbage but to them
it’s gold…you’d never find a Cancerian throwing a garage
sale.


Long Summary

Cancerians look for security on the one hand and
adventure and novelty on the other. They are popular
because they really listen to what others are saying. Their
own voices are attractive too. They are naturals for sales
work and in any kind of advisory capacity. Where their own
problems are concerned, they can disappear inside
themselves and brood, which makes it hard for others to
understand them. Cancerians spend a good deal of time
worrying about their families and, even more so, about
money. They appear soft but are hard to influence.

Many Cancerians are small traders and many more work in
teaching or in the caring professions. They have a feel for
history, perhaps collecting historical mementoes, and their
memories are excellent. They need to have a home but
they love traveling away from it, being happy in the
knowledge that it is there waiting for them to come back to.
There are few Cancerians who seem to drift through life and
expect other members of their family to keep them.

Romantically, they prefer to be settled and they fear being
alone. A marriage would need to be really bad before they
consider leaving and if they do, they soon look for a new
partner. These people can be scoundrels in business
because they hate parting with money once they have
their hands on it. However, their charm and intelligence
usually manage to get them out of trouble.

Leo

“The Lion”

Short Summary

Leo’s are larger than life – or so they think. Everything is “me
first” and if they don’t win, watch out. They have to have all
the ideas. If it’s a good one it’s his or hers, if it’s a rotten one, it’s
someone else’s. They’re very generous and extremely
helpful. If you’re feeling a bit low, go to a Leo for some TLC.
They love expensive presents and would expect you to
leave the price tag on so they can see how much you’ve
spent. They love people and you’ll rarely see a Leo by
themselves. They hardly ever get moody; in fact they’re
pretty good tempered for a lion.



Long Summary

All Leo’s have high standards and they don’t like to let
themselves or anyone else down. They enjoy being seen as
a person of substance and status, and prefer to be in a
position to help others rather than approaching them cap in
hand. Leo’s pride would not allow them to live or work in a
situation that they consider as ‘beneath’ them. They are far
more comfortable working in an exciting area where they
can jet off to glamorous places and influence the more
mundane members of planet Earth. Leo’s won’t stand for
being treated with contempt or ridicule, but they are very
aware of other people’s need for dignity, so they are rarely
offensive or hurtful.

Leo’s can become surprisingly downhearted on occasion,
but they don’t usually stay depressed for long and their
confidence returns fairly quickly. The thing that saves most
Leo’s in hard times is their joyful sense of humour.
Leo’s faults include impatience and a tendency to over
dramatise problems. They become irritable when things go
wrong and quite sarcastic when ill, under pressure or
over-tired. Leo’s live in the fast lane, working and playing
very hard. However they must remember to build in some
rest and recovery time. They can be pushy parents
because they want their children to achieve as much as
they have – and exceed it. Leo’s encourage their children to
become independent.

Leo’s are generous and kind and will do anything to help
others, especially their family. They excel as a family
member and enjoy keeping in touch with relatives although
are not the type to cling. As a marriage partner, Leo’s are
very loyal and dependable, as long as they’re feeling loved
and at the center of the family network. It is very unlikely for
Leo’s to have a fling simply out of curiosity, although
if they are feeling undervalued and unloved by those
around them, it may lead in that direction.

Leo’s love the best of everything. They love to travel to smart
places and to holiday in five-star comfort. Their values are
traditional and although there are a few rogue Leo’s around
who seem to have no standards at all, these are untypical.
