Gardening and Food for People Born Under the Cancer Sun Sign

People born under the zodiac sign of Cancer, and ruled by the mysterious Moon, are zodiac's mystery. Known as the "Moon Child", most Cancer's are a bundle of contradictions.

Cancer Gardening

Cancer begins the summer. This sensitive soul loves to feed and nourish itself and others. Nutritious plants as sweet potatoes are dear to the heart. Cancer finds them easy to grow and will experiment with many recipes for sweet potato use. Ruled by the moon, all night blooming flowers are loved by you. Evening primrose, moonflowers, evening stock and night-blooming cereus fill your gardens with intoxicating scents and mystical plants.

Cancer Food

Hearty soups and casseroles on your dinner table are filled with everything that is good for you. Being a homebody, as a Water Sign, Cancer is looking for comfort food. The Crab is an excellent cook, so making meals with favorite flavors like basil, garlic, mint, nutmeg and vanilla is no problem. Corn chowders, chicken breasts cooked with pineapple and orange sauces can be a favorite, with white cake for dessert. Natural ingredients are used and appreciated.

Cancer Personality

Like their astrological symbol, the Crab, Cancers can appear hard and insensitive on the outside. Those who know and love a "Moon Child" understand that deep below lies a softness and sensitivity that makes them so very special. This sign is one of the most magic of all and once their magic has reached you, they are the most beguiling companions.

Just as the Moon goes through many phases, Cancers also go through many new and full phases of experience. Life does not stand still for this sign, even if they remain in one place because they live so much in their internal emotions. Their link with the moon often makes it impossible for them to live on an even keel from day to day. Up and down like the proverbial yo-yo, most feel one way one minute, then sometimes totally different the next. This is part of their charm and there are not many dull moments living with a Cancer.

Love and romance matter more than anything else to this sign. This is occasionally shared first place with having lots of money in the bank. No other sign romances better, though no other sign takes it harder when romance turns sour. Cancers are fascinating, mysterious, stimulating and extremely alluring.

Life pursuit is "constant reassurance and intimacy" and secret desire is "to feel safe" (emotionally, spiritually, romantically and financially).
