Cancer Men and Big Love

Tuesday July 10, 2007

The man with Sun in Cancer is an enigmatic riddle with everchanging moods, but for those looking for a loyal heart, he's a real catch. Cancer is known as a maternal, emotionally receptive sign, but is cardinal, giving it the strength of an initiator. The Cancer male ends up being part Motherbear and part alpha male, a combination with the potential to make him a beloved father and mate. Those of us with Cancer fathers know that sometimes the huggy, nurturing one is the Dad.

Tom Hanks, who just celebrated his 51st birthday, can be goofy, but this never makes his characters seem less manly. As a romantic lead, he radiates some kind of soulmate-vibe, with the promise of deeply felt, enduring love that makes for a good Hollywood ending. He is lovably familiar, and showing the best side of Cancer's nature, has a homey feel that opens his audience to sharing his on-screen emotions. I'm sure you can tell I'm a huge fan, both of Tom Hanks and of the noblest instincts of the Cancer man.
