To Be or Not To Be

I am a Cancer, Born July 17. Everyone knows the crab of the zodiac. Cancer traits are kindness, emotional intelligence, and yes crabby. But with that said we can be a bit insecure at times. Cancers are said to have a huge range of emotions going on inside, which can at times make them seem overly sentimental or moody; this is said to be due to our connection to the moon and its phases.

There are many good and bad Cancer traits, On the good side, there is loyalty, protective, intuitive, and caring. on the bad side we are side to be overly sensitive, moody, and vindictive.

Ok so enough of the defining and all that stuff let’s talk about me. I truly am nowhere near an expert on the zodiac or Cancers to any extreme but what I know about myself is that I always feel misunderstood, almost to the extent I feel I am speaking another language at times. I know that what I say is constantly taken out of context and people are easily hurt but what I tell them. At the end of the day, I am a very loving person who is very direct. I am a homebody who keeps a small, very small circle of friends and I constantly pull away from the public to recharge because when I'm around people I feel like I pick up on their feeling and it drains me. I find myself being angry and not know why, or overjoyed and not knowing why. then I find out that my brother who I was just hanging out with had an argument with his wife, or my friend just got a promotion at his job and he calls me later that day.

I am the middle child so I feel like some of my moodiness may come from that. but being a middle child, I also learn to be extremely caring and how to see more than one side of a situation or issue. Now as far as the caring is concerned Cancers are supposed to be incredibly nurturing and I don't know, I don't know. I love my niece and nephew but the older I get I don't really see kids in my future but I am the guy in the group who always volunteers to be the designated driver if we go out. When I go out with friends, I'm the one who make sure the other guys are checking in with their significant others, making sure they are not leaving anything at the bar and not leaving their cards. So ok Cancer you when that round.

I feel like there may be things that line up with the zodiac but we are 100% in control of our own destinies and we cannot be summed up by the alignment of planets or element catalyst. We are driven to be who we are by nature and nurture. Our environment and the people we surround ourselves with help make us who we are and as we grow the people we keep and remove from our lives steer our development.

I am a very spiritual person and I was raised Church of God in Christ. Now as I have grown and studied and life has tested my belief, I have learned to be more open to the universe and that the "My way is the right way." train of mind is not good for anyone. With that said I am open to the idea of astrology and the zodiac along with the healing properties of crystals and other items. At the end of the day, I believe God or whomever you believe gave us tools to better ourselves and with everything we do we become closer to them.

So, I guess to sum things up I can see why some people would feel that I'm moody because my emotions are defiantly up and down all the time. I kept in my "Shell" a lot so check that box off. Intuitiveness is another check I feel so I would have to say that I'm at least 80% compatible to my sign.
