I'm another 13th July. (Elder son 21st July)
But I'm afraid I don't believe in astrology. I seem to share traits with most star signs!

The Zodiac covers all aspect of life and you have to find out where all the planets are at your time an place of birth to see the full picture.

Capricorn was rising when I was born, but I have no idea what that means.

Hello, I'm an old Cancerian born in July 54, everything everyone has said is SO true: I would just like to add that being Cancerian with Pisces rising makes me very very watery, so please don't anyone upset me (when I finally let you get near me) because I'll either circle you for 5 days and give you a hefty nip with my pincers, or I'll cry Also, if you become my friend you will find it very difficult to shake me off.... no matter how hard you try

Another Cancer trait I've noticed is that although we are soppy and sentimental, we hate to blub in front of anyone.

My husband who is a Capricorn will sniff away at tear jerker movies, but I will not, *will not* cry!

I've never been afraid to show my feelings

I've always said, if I'm not in the water, I'm forming my own water!

Perhaps I don't sob in soppy films because when I was at school I got teased when I did.

*remembers rainy winter sundays in the common room watching black and white films whilst eating toast and marmite*

aw...boarding schools but at least you were allowed to eat toast and marmite in the common room

Okay this should be an easy one!
It all sounds very silly, but there is this wonderful man that I like (yes he's a Cancer). We are about to embark on a relationship, and I'm wondering - what do I do/what do I don't do? Apart from be my usual charming self (come on I'm a Libra!) is there anything else I should know - ie; how to keep him happy!

well I'm married to a Libran, and it's been a pretty 'balanced' relationship so far, that is, (between me swimming in both directions and him weighing up the options)!

Two words spring to mind, food and home.

jusst bear in mind that cancerians can sulk almost as long as geminis, and bear grudges a very, very long time, even if they are imaginary. many cancerian men are great romantics, but also can take offense at imagined slights, and you then have to guess what it was you did, because they'll never tell you.

been there done that read the story seen the film - go and buy yourself some Crysoprase

oh no! another spelling mistake! CHRYSOPRASE!!!! You'll love it

At the risk of sounding terribly stupid (hopefully its a cultural thing) - what is it??

An apple-green chalcedony used as a gemstone.

Is it chalcedony? To think that I bought a blue one today as well...

tere you go!

I am a cancer, which means I hate leaving my house, love to cook and loyal to the end. But I'm also often sullen and withdrawn. But I probably would make a good bisque as well.
