Heard it all before?

Ok so remember a couple of posts ago when I ran through all my bad qualities...well I was reading thisonline today and it scarily echoes my previous post.

It is not to say that the Cancerian is unsociable, just that for them there is a time to socialize and a time to be solitary, and this is part of the apparent contradiction in their nature. Outwardly they can appear formidable - thick-skinned, unemotional, uncompromising, obstinately tenacious, purposeful, energetic, shrewd, intuitive and wise, sometimes with a philosophical profundity of thought verging on inspiration. Their intimates, however, may see a very different character, one with a sympathetic and kindly sensitivity to other people, especially those they love. They are able to identify with the situations of others because of the keenness of their imaginations. They are often over-imaginative and prone to fantasy, sometimes trying to shape their lives to fit some romantic ideal. They are appreciative of art and literature, and especially of drama, where the spectacle and ebb and flow of action and feeling particularly excite them. They may themselves possess considerable literary, artistic or oratorical talent. Their sharp ears and talent for mimicry can sometimes give them success on the stage, though their tendency to be emotional may make them overact. Interestingly - because they give the impression of being down-to-earth - they are often fascinated by the occult and are more open to psychic influence than the average. If they can reconcile the personal conflict of their urge to be outgoing with the reserve that causes them to withdraw into themselves, then at best they can inspire a generation, especially the youthful part of it, by their idealism. A job in which they can express this, and in which they can do well, would be as a leader in a youth organization.

I just commented on Mi's blog saying that I'm sceptical about horoscopes but sometimes they get everything so right that it makes me wonder...as for the part about being prone to psychic influence, I always thought weird things happened to me (like I dream situations and then they come true exactly as I saw them in my dream) but figured it was just strange...then I saw a psychic for the first time over the summer on a total whim and she told me the same thing...hmm...weird. Maybe it's not all made up...I dunno. Anyway, I just thought it was strange and I'd share what my sign says about me....

Traditional Cancer Traits:

Emotional and loving
Intuitive and imaginative
Shrewd and cautious
Protective and sympathetic

On the dark side....

Changeable and moody
Overemotional and touchy
Clinging and unable to let go


It's strange to think that the things you think make you feel individual, different, misunderstood, sometimes simply not understood at all, unique, the things that make you you are just there to fit you in to yet another category.

We are losing our individuality Kate! I know we thought it was cool, and quite strange, that we were so similar...but is every other cancerian under the sun just like us????

Then again it did say Cancerians are very different and unpredictable so maybe no one else is like us....

hmm..tough one! haha
