July 5

You seem over the moon — by that, I mean that you've somehow managed to conquer the moon's influence on emotions. Where so many other Crabs are very up-and-down, you're steady, mentally firm, and innately clever. In some respects people think you're even too logical. It's as if you've put a tidy box around your heart. There was certainly a time in your life when you needed that safety zone, but at some point you'll need to come back out of your shell in order to answer love's song. Don't miss that refrain when you hear it, because of past experience. Live here, now!

In both work and life, you're on a quest to make others feel protected. So don't be surprised if you find yourself working in home security, on a police force, or as a domestic violence advocate. At home this sanctuary theme continues, stressed even more so by the birth number 3 that thrives by making people happy. Our Crab may not outwardly show it, but nothing pleases more than compliments on a good meal, or praise for the furniture arrangement.

As to relationships, this Cancer doesn't really “need” people (per se). Because you are still somewhat closed off emotionally, it's hard to break that loner cycle, which has now become comfortable and secure. Consequently you're more likely to spend time with acquaintances with whom a little superficiality is expected and doesn't insult.

Gift idea: a car alarm.

Independence Day is celebrated on July 4th in the United States as the day that the Continental Congress ratified the Declaration of Independence. At that time there were only about 2.5 million people living in the colonies. The United States isn't the only country to celebrate this type of observance in July, however. The French have Bastille Day on July 14, Canada Day is July 1, and Peru's Independence Day is July 28, just to name a few.
