The Cancerian youngster definitely marches to the beat of different drummer. Don't expect detailed explanations about how your Cancerian is feeling. If she's in the mood, she might tell you how so-and-so hurt her feelings today at school. But if she's not in the mood, nothing you can say will prod her to explain.

This child is often dreamy. She would rather watch television or read a book than run around outside, unless the activity or sport happens to interest her. In a group, she's likely to take the easy way out and go along with the crowd. Or she may remain completely passive about the situation, hiding her real feelings behind blurts of “I don't know” or, worse, “I don't care.”

Cancer children usually pick one of their parents as the favorite and then tend to depend more on that one. In fact, they can get overly possessive with one or the other, and it can be difficult for the one parent who may feel left out or pushed away to deal with it. The best way to remedy this is to not cater to the child's need for the one — make sure that your child gets equal time with both parents. At worst — this child is moody. At best, though, she's wonder and incredible sweetness in one beautiful package!
