Cancer - what kind of spouse are you?

 

THE CANCER HUSBAND : JUNE 22 / JULY 22.

The Cancer husband is not an easy person to live with despite the sign reputation for easy – going good nature. The type is divided in to at least two groups one of which is dominant. The husband of this group loves his home but is exacting fussy and inclined to be critical and fault finding. The recessive Cancer man is so passive lazy and self indulgent that he often goes so far as to marry for money or position in fact for any reason that will bring him ease established position and domestic comfort. Since this kind of man is persistent and agreeable when he chooses to be it is often possible for him to attain his ambition.

Any Cancer husband whether of one type or another spends more time in his home than other men. He has a deeply traditional love for the home and family and has many of the same qualities in his nature that are imputed to the Cancer woman. The moodiness changeability sentimentality and effusiveness can be understood in a woman’s nature but translated to a man these qualities are not inspiring especially in large doses administered domestically.

The Cancer husband means to be devoted and his whole mind is wrapped up in his wife and family but his disposition is such that these feelings are translated into exacting demands for service and constant interference in the home routine. Nothing satisfies him he can always find something to criticize or complain about and the most affectionate family feels the burden of this intensely possessive spirit. These men are very sensual and seek constant erotic stimulation. They are usually faithful enough if their desires are satisfied at home. The effort entailed in conducting outside liaisons is too difficult for the Cancer man. He is rather timid and abhors danger. Therefore while his senses might lead him astray he is unwilling to be involved in complications that require effort to sustain.

The Cancer Wife : June 22 / July 22

The Cancer wife mothers everything. She typifies the most motherly influence of all of the zodiacal wives. When at her best she is a sympathetic affectionate protective woman patient devoted adaptable satisfied with anything her husband provides for her. Her home is wherever her husband decides that it should be and she gives the humblest place a permanent established look. Her presence is sanctifying and she understands how to serve. She is loved and respected in return for her devotion and is the personification of all of the literature written that idealizes “MOTHER”.

All this of course depends upon the planetary combinations in the nativity. Many Cancer wives have some of these good qualities. They are devoted mothers full of affection for the family but too often moody changeable ignorant and willing to be improved temperamental to a fault and sensitive in the extreme. It is very easy for the Cancer girl to marry for her natural inclinations are so sympathetic that this quality of thought draws marriage to her. She seeks protection and it always comes to her. But if she is a girl without a good deal of character and background she will need the help and guidance of her husband is on a pedestal in her imagination and if he fails her the spiritual shock is crushing. When well aspected the spiritual strength of the Cancer wife is as much a help to the husband as his worldly stamina is to her.

This native is passionately possessive and everything concerning the life of her family absorbs her completely. Sometimes these intuitive instinctive women have ( counter to all else in their make up) an uncannily accurate business sense and they are able to advise their husband in business with unexpected wisdom. Taken generally the whole character is proverbially feminine and the man who marries a cancer wife gets a completely womanly woman.
