Cancer I Personology Profile (from The Secret Language of Birthdays by Gary Goldschneider and Joost Elffers) June 26th : The Day of Stamina
Strengths
Weaknesses The Cancer I period takes the Empath as its central image due to the psychic sensitivity of those born during this time. Because of the depth, diversity, and fluctuating nature of their feelings, Cancer I's are hard to figure out. Empathic, Caner I's are quick to pick up on, or even to absorb, the emotions of others -- often even subconsciously acting them out. Do not assume, however, that Cancer I's are wishy-washy characters out of touch with practical realities. They can be very clever in getting their way and are particularly good with money. In fact, their makeup includes a natural aggressiveness that they can have difficulty channeling into positive expression. Too often they swing from angry outburts to seething repression, which often leads them into melancholia. Cancer I's are capable of withdrawing from the world for months or een years in order to protect themselves from the feelings of those around them. However, through sheer guts and determination, they are often able to overcome their own sensitivity and put it to work in the service of their fellows. Patience is obligatory for those desiring a successful relationship with these individual, especially when they bottle up their feelings or enter their self-imposed isolation. Those who persevere, however, are rewarded; Cancer I's have a great deal to offer in a relationship: financial astuteness, a good managerial sense, and, most important, the ability to truly understand. |
