Cancer
Characteristic Traits:
Cancer is the home and family lover of the zodiac. The break-up of families and the use of houses as just somewhere to live rather than places to create real homes is painful, and leads to the forging of alternative families in other settings so that the feeling of being at home can be enjoyed.
Pitfalls:
The sense of security that home and family (of whatever kinds) can give may lead to a clinging on to them when they no longer serve for further progress in life. Thus Cancer can live in the past rather than creatively in the present.
