Stubborn unbeliever turns a fan of Star Signs!

Until a couple of months ago, if somebody started any discussion about star signs in front of me, I hated it. I felt that all that 'nonscientific' science was baseless.

But when my close ones chided me for being too independent, for being so attached to home and my mom, honestly I started feeling "Am I really different, abnormal?" I just thought of googling about such traits and what I found truly astonished me.

I landed on the Astro signs page on various websites and started reading about my sign - Cancer. Believe me, I was amazed to see that each and every characteristic of people born under this sign were present in me! I was like, "Man, I am not alone! There are millions out there like me." And I took heart in this fact that I am not doing anything special with my life. I've been made like this. Some specific characteristics about me that I found 100% correct (although almost all were perfect):

DEFINITION:A cardinal (creative and original) sign, Cancer governs home life, matters to do with women (especially the mother), as well as sensitivity and emotional intensity. It is a water sign, so Cancerian people are emotionally intense and deeper than they appear on the surface, while quite sensitive and understanding once you get through that tough exterior.

1> The Cancerian’s most positive point is his understanding nature. On the whole, he is a loving and sympathetic person. He would never go out of his way to hurt anyone.

2> They are often very concerned about the world. Their interest in people generally foes beyond that of just their own families and close friends; they have a deep sense of brotherhood and respect humanitarian values. The Cancerian means what he says, as a rule; he is honest about his feelings.

3> The Cancer man or woman is a person who knows the art of patience. When something seems difficult, he is willing to wait until the situation become manageable again. He is a person who knows how to bide his time.

4> The Cancerian knows how to concentrate on one thing at a time. When he has made his mind up he generally sticks with what he does, seeing it through to the end. The crab's large claws hang on to its possessions for dear life, just as the Cancerian collects things to beautify the environment and bravely defends the home turf.

5> The Cancerian is a person who loves his home. He enjoys being surrounded by familiar things and the people he loves. Of all the signs, Cancer is the most maternal. Even the men born under this sign often have a motherly or protective quality about the,. They like to take care of people in the their family-to see that they are well loved and well provided for. They are usually loyal and faithful. Family ties mean a lot to the Cancer man or woman. Parents and in-laws are respected and loved.

6> The Cancerian has a strong sense of tradition.

7> He is a true romantic and sees fairytale dreams frequently. However, he is as close to reality as anyone can be. Baffled? Don't worry, it takes some time, but people will start understanding the Cancerian man slowly and gradually. The changes in him do not mean a changing personality like the Geminis. It is just a change of moods and he will soon be his usual self again.

8> Just like a crab, he retreats into a shell when his emotions are hurt. The shell is his haven and he will remain there till he is ready to face the world again. Cancerian men may look harsh and distant at times, but inside they are very gentle, kind and affectionate. Rudeness is not one of their personality traits. It just acts a cover to hide their true, vulnerable feelings.

9> He is the one who always pays his bills on time and he likes saving more than spending. He is not stingy, but he is also not extravagant.

10> There is another thing a Cancer male cannot live without - talking about his Mommy Dearest! She is most likely to be there in his every second conversation. Cancer is all about the home. Those born under this Sign like to stick to their roots, they take great pleasure in the comforts of home and family. Traditions are upheld with great enthusiasm in a Cancerian's household, since these people prize family history and love communal activities. They also tend to be patriotic, waving the flag, whenever possible.


11> With a Cancerian man, there is one thing people around him will never be short of - Love!

12> Cancerians are creative. Even those among you who may not have any particular talent can use some involvement with art, music, or writing as another method of emotional release, rather than indulging in eating binges or other destructive habits.

13> Cancerians are doers. They set out to accomplish things and, one way or another, they want to obtain their goals. In spite of their emotional sensitivity, they are strong-willed and have no trouble expressing what they want, then finding a way to get it. The Crab is their astrological symbol and there are certain crab-like gestures directly associated with the behavior of Cancerians. Just as the crab walks sideways rather than straight ahead, Cancerians use an indirect approach in accomplishing their goals.

14> Cancerians have good memory for the past, be it some past incidents of their own life, or history in general. That is the reason they take time to come out afresh of their habits and emotional patterns. They also have good sense of humor and are fun to be with. They are thoughtful and compassionate. Cancerians love nature. Water bodies and full moon have special effects on their being. They are good leaders, and can create stable, long-lasting careers for themselves in whichever field they go. Most of the successful businessmen are born under this sign.

These traits are not present in only 1 website; almost all websites mention about these things regarding Cancerians. Those that I read are:

This has made me a firm believer of star signs (personality traits). NOTE THAT I still dont believe in horoscope i.e. future predictions and how to avoid bad things that peope say will happen in future. I mean, if you say things will happen in future, how can one avoid them?
