Cancer is the first zodiac sign of summer. Cancers are characterized by mildness and softness. They let their feelings guide them in all matters, and don’t use intellectual analyses as the basis for their decisions. Cancers are characterized by high levels of compassion, sympathy, and helpfulness. These aspects make them susceptible to manipulation. Their disposition makes them easy to influence.
They are emotional and easily injured. They react quickly by withdrawing, and don’t like to try new things. They love antiques and whatever’s tried and true, and are definitely focused on family, since they are intensely interested in their ancestry and origins. These topics are also characteristic for the fourth house, in which Cancer presides. Religion and the esoteric can play a large role in their lives, however, Cancers tend to hold on to their convictions almost fanatically, and are only rarely prepared to reflect on their views.
Cancers feel where others think, and in doing so can easily forget that feelings aren’t objective, but instead the result of our upbringing and previous life experiences. Often, it is necessary to examine feelings and reactions to determine whether they are appropriate in view of actual facts or whether they will remain permanent. Cancers often lack this ability almost entirely. They may have no ability to perceive the world objectively at all, but rather see everything through the lens of their feelings. Feelings, however, are easily to manipulate, allowing others to influence Cancers to their own advantage.
Aquarius, as the eighth sign, has the greatest manipulative effect on Cancer.
Aquarius recognizes Cancer’s longing for safety and emotional security and toys with it. Aquarius can threaten to leave Cancer in a crisis situation or to exploit Cancer’s readiness to help to the point of complete self-abnegation, an approach also taken by Sagittarius and Virgo. Cancer easily develops feelings for others, and can be stirred up into a frenzy if others don’t reciprocate these feelings or react to them in an ambivalent manner. They have a difficult time believing that others love them for who they are, so they are ready to undertake major efforts to achieve love and security
Aquarians don’t let crisis situations get to them, which is why they can’t understand the extent of the emotional uncertainty Cancers say they feel. They can make Cancers feel that they are overreacting, causing Cancers to lose their trust in their own feelings and become helpless. This is why Cancers should leave themselves options to retreat and protect themselves from emotional injuries. Aries, as the tenth sign, takes away exactly this retreat, driving Cancer away until Cancer gives up, exhausted.
Cancers aren’t concerned with success, so they don’t need to distinguish themselves through constant activity. They are more like sponges, absorbing impulses from other people. Virgos are only all too willing to subject themselves to Cancers, Leo and Sagittarius can emotionally injure Cancers through biting remarks and devaluing their ideals. Capricorns are always attempting to qualify Cancers’ perceptions, which are based on feelings. “Don’t make such a big deal,” or “Don’t be so emotional” are classic examples of this type of manipulation, and are similar to manipulation by Aquarius, although they don’t have such major effects.
Pisces don’t just function as an esoteric medium for Cancers, they also tend to reinforce their inclination to make emotional statements. This can easily turn into a type of egotism in which only their own feelings count. Volatile Geminis fascinate Cancers greatly, although they react to Geminis’ mood swings in a hurt and insulted way. This kind of relationship can quickly turn into emotional dependency, which the Gemini creates with his random fluctuations between closeness and distance – an almost deadly trap for a Cancer. In general, there are various ways to manipulate a Cancer. Their emotions make them susceptible to being talked into feeling a certain way or to having their feelings qualified. Cancers also react quickly in an injured or offended way. If someone doesn’t take their feelings seriously, or even specifically tries to injure their emotions, they will withdraw completely.
This is one way to eliminate them as a possible competitor. They have a great longing for security, and family and private life are very important to them. Working on these areas can exploit a Cancer’s helpfulness. Other Cancers, especially, can utilize these insights.
If you are a Cancer and feel that other people are always taking you on an emotional rollercoaster, then it’s highly likely that these people aren’t really interested in you at all. Instead, they are manipulating you using your sign’s characteristic weaknesses. Be careful if someone wants to force their way into your family or your safe spaces too quickly, and consider whether your feelings of sympathy can really help you make a decision about another person or are just a projection of your own longing for security. It’s good to be there for other people, but never lose sight of your own goals and values.
