One time, I went on a date with a double Cancer man. Cancer = home, family, roots, food.
He took me to dinner at a restaurant that was somebody’s converted home. All during dinner he told me about the family that had lived there. He told me their names, and detailed histories with dates of various happenings. He outlined the whole family tree.

Cancer, Family And The IC
“We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea. Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea.”
–Paul Tillich
The sign of Cancer is ruled by the Moon, motherhood, the emotions, femininity. Cancer rules the 4th house and the second angle, the IC or nadir. The 4th house is the realm of the family, the home, ones roots and ancestry. The IC or nadir is a point (angle) that can be analyzed to understand one’s personal attitudes and the conditions of one’s “home base.” The Moon itself can be examined to determine what is necessary for one’s satisfaction and the IC is complementary in its involvement as it shows our archetypal home, where we came from and, in a greater scope, where our needs originate.

My friend, the one who gave me the tomato, lives in an old church called The Moon Mansion. Something like 14 other people live there.
I went to visit her the other day and she took me to the basement to see the plecostomus.
The house is packed with forgotten oddities. The old guy who owns the place is a Cancer and runs it like a 12th house dormitory. Mostly artists and two of his sons live there. I bite my lip and pinch myself whenever I go there because it has surreal dream architecture, hidden doors and iconic piles of stuff you haven’t seen in years. Stacks and stacks of National Geographics next to a wall of display picture frame corners, darkness spotted with glare coming out of floating peep holes, a miter saw, a suit of armor, muffled conversations leaking through the walls.
After we had a good stare at the old fish she turns around and knocks on a door I hadn’t noticed.

Earth Man is a Rock ~or~ Cardinal Ladies Day Out
Hopefully Coherent Ramblings
I went to The Dude’s class again last week. His name is George actually but if you check out his picture you’ll see why I call him “The Dude.”
(When I say “you’ll see” this assumes you do not have an underdeveloped right brain and/or have not been living in a cave with no cinema for at least a decade and a half. Just in case, I’ll explain… “The Dude” is a character played by Jeff Bridges in the film The Big Lebowski. George looks like “The Dude” to me.)

What’s the first thing you pick up on when you meet someone, astrologically speaking?
The textbook answer is the rising sign, but in practice that’s not always the case. The rising is what we put out for other people to see, it isn’t necessarily what get’s noticed first though.

The Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces by Nota
Elementary, My Dear
The signs can be divided into Triplicities, that’s groups of three, also known as Elements
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces make up the water signs.
Water is flowing. It is the medium of the emotional tide. People with a lot of water in their charts tend to be tuned into to a vast undercurrent that allows them to feel their way through life.

Astrology-Based Advice: She’s Having Sex With Her Friend’s Son: Pisces Sun, Capricorn Moon
Dear Elsa,
Back in April I started a “friend with benefits” relationship with a Cancer/Cancer-rising man who is 11 years younger than myself… and also my friend’s son.
I had never thought of him as anything but my friend’s son until one night he called and came over and long story short, we became intimate. He told me that he had been attracted to me for a long time. What started out as a friends with benefits situation has spiraled out of control to where I think I have serious feelings for him. But I am torn, because I have always loved him as a member of my extended family, but now it is very confusing because of the sex.
Now I am also torn wondering if I am IN love with him, or do I just love him? He is very tug/pull…ie…we see each other about once a week but he never seems to initiate (since the first time). But my spidey senses tell me he has feelings for me. Why doesn’t he act on them? Is it the age difference? I am pretty successful, he is just starting out in life with an entry level job, has no money and lives at home. Or is he just not into me and I should let go? Because I can’t seem to.
Thanks,
His Mother’s Friend
Dear Friend,
I hate to do this to Pisces but to answer your question, I will have to hit you with a dose of reality. So brace yourself, would you?
First thing to know is this man is acting on his feelings. He’s a double Cancer, attracted to an older woman (mother figure) and he’s having sex with her. Undoubtedly his Scorpio Moon is drawn to the taboo whether he is conscious of this or not.

Astrology and Style
Cancer
A Cancer has, perhaps, some of the most “homey” homes in the zodiac! Loving family and having friends that are like family the Cancer makes their home a place where loved ones can come or gather and feel at home in their surroundings. Try framing photos of your family and friends and have them on shelves and in frames to make your group more at home when they visit you. Nothing says “welcome” like photograph of yourself on the walls of someone’s home so don’t spare the framing and make you home a home away from home for those you love. Comfortable setting in warm colors suit you and you don’t have to shy away from colors that relax and bring in the visitor. Staying away from stark furnishings and thinking in terms of the classic “home” style will keep you on track when choosing things for you home. Try using more wood than metal in your decor to warm it up and make it inviting. You use color well so choose colors that are floral in shade to stay on the warm side of the color palette. Lace is very “you” and having tablecloths and fabric in the form of throws and afghans are also good ideas.

Dixie’s Daily Tarot, September 21, 2010: Magic Houses
Astrology Meets Tarot
First married, my husband and I shared a teeny, two-bedroom place with three kids. It was way too small for us, but we made it work while arranging to get a bigger place. We often talked of how utterly perfect everything was going to be, once we moved. So perfect, in fact, we took to half-jokingly referring to our new home as the “Magic House.” You know. Because it will magically make everything perfect!

Dixie’s Tarot Forecast, 6/20/2010: Electric Flight to Victory
Astrology Meets Tarot
We’ve fought our way though the summer grand cross thus far, and many are feeling fried. We sometimes forget the same celestial lightening zaps can also propel forward, so long as we consciously harness and direct.
The Chariot gallops up, inviting us to use the crackling power of directed focus to further our goals. Seven is associated with spirituality, and Major Arcana cards point to significant transformations.
She sports the symbol of Cancer on her chariot’s front. The moon and sea echoes the Cancer theme, so while her feelings are serious business, this is clearly one crab that’s come out of her shell. Don’t mistake her for anybody’s victim.
