This page will be about Cancer the crab....My astrological sign. I am a Moon Child and PROUD of it. The more I learn about the astrological side of me, the more interesting I get. : )
In ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle represented Cancer and symbolized the immortal life of the soul. Later, the crab became associated with Cancer. Both symbols have hard shells that provide security for their interiors, just as the body is a vehicle for the soul. And like the crab who carries its home on its back, you carry memories of home and family with you wherever you go. A water sign, you're sensitive and receptive to emotional stimuli. You rely on your feelings to navigate your path in life and possess incisive emotional perception that verges on the psychic. You're impressionable, and your sensitivity to jarring external forces requires you to constantly reestablish emotional balance to function outside your shell. SECURITY is your keyword. Memories of your early childhood emotional dependence and parental nurturing -- whether optimal or dismal -- are a permanent reminder of the importance of feeling safe. Once you get your grip on anyone or anything that makes you feel secure, you want to hold on to it, store it or stockpile it. You form emotional attachments to belongings that have sentimental value and will even accumulate things that you feel you may eventually need through some unforeseen circumstance. When your level of security is undermined, particularly by domestic disturbances, you can lose your equilibrium, becoming irritable, hypersensitive, snappy, unforgiving, self-pitying and brooding.
The 'A'ama is a highly regarded creature for once it has seized an object and means to have it, it will rather lose its claw than let go. If it is is lost, it will grow another to hold again. Also charactertistic of the 'A'ama is its phenomenal agility and fearlessness to tackle the most critical crevices among the lava rocks. Like their 'A'ama symbol, KAAONA persons demonstrate an adaptability with tenacity - in essence, patience. With admirable courage, KAAONAS meet obstacles and adversities with unwavering fortitude. They can face up to the most challenging of problems and survive life's most desperate hardships. The fact that 'A'ama also means "one who is expert in gaining knowledge" is again indicative of KAAONA people. Both men and women are masters of many moods, and can run the gamut of emotions and influence others to do likewise, being themselves, excellent teachers. Sensitive and sympathetic, the KAAONA, nontheless, can be aggressive, seizing within their grasp that which will serve them in realizing a full productive life. Ancient Hawaiians further believed that KAAONA children were destined to be attractive and lovable. The Hawaiian Calendar states KAAONA is the month of the "Moon of Happiness"
Cancer is introverted, reserved, emotional, sensitive, moody, sympathetic, security-conscious, prudent, retentive, domestic, maternal, protective, quiet, calm, imaginative, conscientious, and quite the traditionalist.
