Top 5 things NOT to say to a Cancer (or Cancer Rising)

1. SAY SOMETHING! Cancers are quiet creatures that take the world into their shell for examination. If you’d like to get a response from your Cancer friend then be polite when you ask them to respond. For example, you could say, “While you’re thinking about how you feel and what you’d like to say about that, I’ll clean out the garage.” Then go get busy. It could be a while.

2. I’LL BE READY IN TWENTY MINUTES. Oh, no. This will never do. Your Cancer buddy is ready NOW. They’ll sigh deeply but make space for your procrastination. Cancers love to get going on projects so if you’re not ready to act, hang out with a Taurus…(they like to go slower.)

3. RELAX. COME SIT WITH ME FOR A MINUTE. Cancers are water signs and though they flow with the go they’re so keyed up with feeling the electricity of the world they can’t be still. They have to be doing something to feel productive. If you’d like to relax with your Cancer install a pool or a water fountain in their backyard…and hang out and wait there for them with your Taurus friend. It might be a while before Cancer comes home to join you (they're so busy lately!) so have some snacks that Cancer made for you yesterday. They love to feed people.

4. CAN I BORROW YOUR COMPUTER? Cancers are notorious for working on something electronic. I know, you’d never think of them as gadget freaks, but many of them have been known to be forerunners in the world of 'Caring for Creation.' It's said that Cancer is a nurturing sign, but that’s usually not in the stereotypical way. Their venues are electronics, the law, food, body work, finances, and writing. Many of them are not waiting at home for you while baking a pie—instead they’re thinking about great food and finding every resource possible on the internet to bring that food to your table. Oh, did I say they cooked you something in the previous paragraph? Well, now you can see how unpredictable Cancer is. They're guided by the Moon and can be dark and mysterious or in your face and Eclipsing your thoughts with silent light...holy light...

5. SAY SOMETHING…(PLEASE!) I mean this can start to get annoying when you’re talking to them and they sit there just staring at you. I know they’re processing their feelings on a level deeper than the ocean, but c’mon. Nod or something. Oh, well. Hey listen, you don’t really want to approach Cancer like that because they can be really defensive if they think they’re being attacked. (Watch out for their defensive pinchers) So, instead of demanding something from them, reach out and gaze into their eyes and commune with them in silence and later on when they ask you something…don’t answer right away. See if they get the joke. (Hee hee. They'll laugh, too. They have great wit!)

One Surefire way to beat Poverty Consciousness

When you’re struggling or suffering, you feel as though you LACK something in your life. You’re in a state of NOT HAVING. This is called poverty consciousness. “I don’t have enough money. “ I’m not smart enough.” “I can’t find the right relationship.” “I don’t deserve to have nice things.” You have a need for someone or something to supply you with whatever it is you don’t have or think you don’t have. However, you have the ability to eliminate the suffering and struggle by finding the compassion within.

In as many moments as possible, practice compassion. Compassion comes from a state of Divinity. And Divinity is something you carry within because it's who you are. Compassion neutralizes poverty consciousness. Compassion dissipates expectations. Compassion replaces the idea of lack with the wisdom of abundance.

Compassion takes practice. So start practicing. It’s easy…

Give the waitress an extra tip.
Take a deep breath when someone takes forever to finish a sentence.
Let an elder onto the elevator first.
Hold the door open for anyone, especially when you're in a hurry.
Say hello to someone you don't know.
Tell the cashier she's doing a great job.
If you get doubles of anything for any reason, give one away.
Smile in the mirror each morning and make eye contact with yourself.
These are but a few simple ways to practice compassion.
It's not that hard.

Keep in mind that Compassion is never at odds within you. However, your Ego, which exists in order to keep you alive and monitor your safety, combats and negates compassion during moments when you feel threatened or weakened. It's in those moments that trust in the Divine goes right out the proverbial window…and it's a long way down to the ground.


Practice compassion. It reprograms you to find your trust in Divinity. When you're hormonal and ready to kick the door or smash tomatoes at the market, or when you're sad or lonely or hungry or exhausted or otherwise screaming for something, practice compassion. Practicing compassion during moments of fear and mistrust is the hardest thing for a human being to do.
