The crab is Cancer’s astrological symbol, so, when threatened, people with Cancer prominent in their chart tend to armour themselves by withdrawing into solitude. When upset, they use food as consolation, which in turn, results in obesity, food allergies and intestinal dysbiosis.
The Sun in Cancer reflects a weakened physical constitution. Externally, it rules the breasts, epigastric region and the elbows. Internally, it rules the stomach, digestive organs, upper lobe of the liver, thoracic duct, pancreas, blood serum and womb. The entire act of digestion with peristalsis and chymification is ruled by Cancer. Indigestion, stomach ulcer, flatulence, jaundice and liver torpidity and mammary affections are common. Be on guard against lymphatic stasis.
Structurally, Cancer rules the axillae, bladder, blood serum and albumen. People with Cancer active in their charts are subject to coughs, indigestion, gas, gallstones, general problems with stomach, liver and intestines, plus emotional disorders such as depression, hypochondria and hysteria.
Leo, the Lion, is the second sign of the Fire triplicity and the fifth sign of the tropical zodiac. Leo is a creative, sociable and dramatic sign, which loves to be the centre of a circle of admirers.
The key phrase for Leo is “I will”. This sign represents majesty, power and dignity. When their egos are turned inward, Leos become self-centred and tyrannical. Leos express pride in every movement. As long as they are in control or in positions of responsibility, their self-confidence is high. Leos whose desires for power and authority remain unfulfilled may develop traits of laziness, indolence and inconstancy.
Leos are often courageous and bold and even stubborn when plans are not of their own doing. They can also be arrogant and wilful, expecting the limelight and the admiration of others. Their confident attitude may appear smug to others. Their sunny disposition and smiling eyes reflects a sense of hauteur, if not snobbery. The hair is abundant as in a lion’s mane with the chin firm and purposeful. Leo is usually not a tall sign, but very sturdy with an even gait.
The Sun, supreme ruler of the human ego, rules Leo. Its influence gives Leos their true love of life, love through marriage and its pleasures. They are strongly attracted to the opposite sex. It is easy for pleasure-loving Leos to become addicted to rich restaurant food and in time they find themselves gaining weight, especially around the girth.
