ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I am curious about what the stars have in store for me. Can you do an inventory for someone born on July 10, 1970?"
You have your sun, Mercury and Mars in Cancer. It says that you are a highly-emotional being – although no one would know on the surface. Like the crab you are tough on the outside, tender on the inside and very particular about who you allow to see your vulnerable side. You must protect yourself because you are much more sensitive than most people. Cancers tends to be ultra-compassionate because they clearly see, and even feel, the pain of others, no matter how hard people try to keep it hidden. With several planets in the sign of the moonchild, you carry Cancer principles into your communication and work style. People must prove themselves to you first, but if someone wins you over, you’ll protect their interests with the same vehemence you use to protect your own. In romance, you never let go once you find a partner who is worthy of your undivided attention.
