Star Sign Cancer

The Cancer character: Cancerians are like and emotional pressure cooker without a valve. They get so stressed-out that their normally shy behaviour can turn on others like a sudden earthquake. They worry to the point of paranoia and feel that everyone either uses them or ignores them. Most have an Oedipus complex. They also love to moan about everyone and enjoy gloating when someone's done better in life than you have. They employ cunning tricks to get what they want. Cancerians make useless psychologists but are excellent patients. They are better off not having a career.

The Cancer Lover: If you enjoy being stressed then a Cancerian would make your perfect partner. They are so devote and loyal that it's sickening.

The year ahead: You must try to overcome the feeling that everyone uses you. A Christmas Eve announcement by an Aries brings a big festive surprise.
