The CANCER Employee
"He couldn't resist a bite,
and then, like me, he bit.
I ate him up, just like that,
and then he was all gone."

It's always a delight to have a Cancerian as an employee because they genuinely work for you. They aren't motivated by glory or whimsical desires, nor do they show up each day because they have a crush on the receptionist. Their job is never a means to express their ego or pass the time between coffee breaks. They work for the simplest and most essential reason?the security that comes with a paycheck.

Understand that a Cancerian's paycheck needs to be flexible. It must gradually expand as they gather experience, demonstrate loyalty, and showcase their talents. Their income should always match their output, which will steadily increase over time. If the paycheck fails to keep up, they will be compelled to do something that goes against their nature?let go of their job and seek employment elsewhere. It's not easy for the crab to release its grip on anything?be it toothbrushes, old get-well cards, shoe strings, socks, romantic partners, or jobs. Once they firmly latch on, prying them loose becomes nearly impossible. Dependability and tenacity are the cornerstones of their nature, and they employ these qualities generously. They serve them well on their ambitious journey towards success. Along the way, they may tremble and shiver when faced with challenges and emotional setbacks, but they will safeguard those vulnerabilities within their tough shell of determined purpose. Despite the crab's gentle exterior, Cancer is a cardinal sign, which means Cancerians were born to shoulder responsibilities and lead rather than follow. While they graciously accept the boss's discipline when necessary, their willingness to obey orders masks their true motivation. When the crab dutifully serves, they are serving their own secret agenda. Their job represents an important brick in the grand structure they are building. Once the sturdy edifice is complete, they will assume control and rule. In essence, they are striving for an executive position. This aspiration is constantly on their mind. It would be wise for you to keep it in mind as well, for obvious reasons.

Their drive to lay these bricks with unwavering determination is rarely fueled by a thirst for power. It's not prestige that propels them like the Capricorn, nor ego like the Aries. Cancerians are driven to accumulate wealth and attain an unshakable position of authority for different reasons. They crave the security that comes from knowing all their tomorrows are secure, allowing them to bask in the comfort of the past. And that requires money. Antiques and grand, old houses don't come cheap. Neither do lavish, gracefully served dinners. Collecting rare autographs demands a hefty sum, and the elegant frames to display ancestral portraits carry a price tag. A good hi-fi set for classical music requires a significant investment. Moreover, the Cancer employee may require substantial funds to support relatives who seek shelter during difficult times, or their children may require additional financial assistance for various reasons. On top of it all, Cancerians harbor a multitude of fears, both real and imagined, which form a complex web of self-doubts and feelings of inadequacy. Assuming positions of authority and leadership helps alleviate these fears, akin to Novocain numbing pain.

But there is one more thing they need?affection. Naturally, that's not your responsibility. However, being aware of it can be helpful. One day, you may find yourself offering a warm squeeze of the hand and a heartfelt expression of gratitude instead of a raise. It won't replace the need for money by any means, but it might convince them to stay a little while longer. Appreciation soothes the Cancerian soul, but it can never fully substitute their sentimental attachment to their bank balance.

Yet, be cautious and avoid going overboard, saying things like, "Rocky, my friend, I can't currently pay you what you're worth, but I deeply appreciate you." After a couple of times, they may misinterpret your intentions and perceive insincerity. Exercise the same caution with your female Cancerian employees, as they can easily misconstrue your actions. The Cancer woman is shy and reserved with strangers, but she possesses a remarkable ability to detect romantic signals from afar. If she's single, you better hope you are too, because once she casts that tender, possessive gaze upon you, escaping her clutches will prove challenging. If she's married, she will give you the cold shoulder or snap at you until you show proper respect. Love your lunar employees, but try to maintain a level of impersonality. I know it's like saying, "Hang your clothes on a hickory limb, but don't go near the water," but that's just the way it is. Finding the right strategy will require your own ingenuity.

Just as surely as Cancerian Stephen Foster composed "My Old Kentucky Home," the symbol of home will inevitably find its way into the lives of these employees. Your lunar secretary's mother may frequently drop by for lunch with her daughter, and a responsible female crab who has worked diligently as a department store clerk for years may suddenly quit if her son is in trouble or unwell and requires her support. That salesman born in July may enjoy occasional travel, but only if he's single and someone calls his mother every day while he's away, checking if she needs anything. However, if he's married, he may not appreciate being sent out of town or being asked to sacrifice holidays at home for business emergencies.

If you have any Cancerian employees going through separation or divorce, you may face a disruptive challenge that could affect your staff for weeks. A cloud of gloom will settle over the office. If it's a female, stock up on Kleenex for the powder room. There will be periods of melancholic weeping, and she may spend a lot of time in court. The judge may award her significant alimony, or else. If child support is involved, she may require time off. A broken home hits crabs of both sexes particularly hard. Hang a poem on the office wall: "Home Is Where The Heart Is." Just beneath it, display a framed arrangement of rare coins against a backdrop of lavender velvet, enclosed in sterling silver. Have you caught on? They certainly will.

When you need to discuss something with a Cancer employee and wish to put them in a receptive frame of mind, take them out for lunch or dinner. Cancerians adore those who invite them for a meal. Not only does it mean they won't have to foot the bill, but food symbolizes security in capital letters. Watch their eyes light up with joy. They may not be big eaters themselves, but they are more content and at peace when surrounded by an abundance of food. Be sure to take them to one of the finest restaurants in town. They will relish the luxury, knowing they're not paying.

Cancerians are diligent workers. You can rely on them to be steadfast and reliable in all circumstances, except one. Cancer is a water sign, and those born under the water signs enjoy liquids in all forms. If the planetary aspects at birth are afflicted, one of those liquid forms may contain a high proof. While a Cancerian with a drinking problem is rare, if you come across a July-born employee who constantly emits a boisterous lunar laugh or sheds tears incessantly, they may be indulging in something stronger than coffee during their breaks. However, don't assume that every Pisces, Scorpio, or Cancer person is a heavy drinker. Although people born during these periods are more likely to drown their sorrows, this is a general statistic covering millions of individuals. It should never be used to judge people on an individual basis. Most Cancerians you encounter will be sober. In fact, they may be so sober that you wish they would relax a little over a cocktail.

Cancerians possess a warm and wonderful sense of humor, full of sensitive insight into human nature. However, be cautious when their wit hits a sensitive spot, as it may deeply wound them. It's best to let them initiate the jokes. With their kind hearts and keen perception, it's unlikely that they will hurt anyone through their humor. The typical Cancerian employee won't crack jokes during working hours, but when you take them out for dinner, they may keep you chuckling from the first sip of tomato juice to the final bite of cherries Jubilee. Crabs can be absolutely fascinating conversationalists, unless they're engulfed in a gloomy mood. In such cases, expect them to speak no more than a single word per hour, snapped briefly. They can pout with remarkable finesse. But they can also speak with magnetic charm, easily swaying your emotions with their ability to connect with people.

Cancerians are highly sensitive beings. When you need a friend, there's no one more tender and sympathetic than a Cancer person. Conversely, when they sense someone attempting to take something from them, be it emotionally or materially, they can become cranky. If the crab suspects a colleague is after their job, expect childlike behavior as a prelude to an all-out fight for possession and ownership. The victim may not even realize war has been declared until the battle has already been won. Cancerians hold more secrets than J. Edgar Hoover, James Bond, and Sherlock Holmes combined. They rarely divulge their plans in advance, and their true thoughts remain concealed unless confided in someone they trust deeply, someone with whom the chances of betrayal are minimal.

Cancerians excel in positions that allow them to utilize their natural abilities. They often find success in merchandising, trading, manufacturing, and purchasing for large retail chains. They are drawn to baking, canning, packaging, and food distribution. The arts, such as painting, sculpting, designing, interior decorating, music, museums, writing, accounting, real estate, children's clothing, social work, acting, directing, photography, gardening, lecturing, teaching, banking, oil, commerce, shipping, and politics, all align with typical Cancerian careers. Managing hotels or restaurants, overseeing theaters, arranging loans, and controlling various aspects of these industries also suit the natural inclinations of lunar individuals.

Your female Cancer employee adores babies, children, men, flowers, comfortably heated offices, courtesy, romance, cooking, movies, books, and money. She is sensitive, responsive to kindness, responsible, and incredibly capable.

She is moody.

Your male Cancer employee adores babies, children, women, respect, admiration, comfortably heated offices, courtesy, romance, cooking, movies, books, and money. He is sensitive, responsive to kindness, responsible, and incredibly capable.

He is moody.

Can you tell the difference between a male and female crab on the beach? Both possess a gentle and dreamy nature, while also being sensible and practical like red flannel underwear. You'll appreciate having them around when business keeps you away from the office more than desired. They will diligently watch over the store.

But the Queen shouted, "The Lobster's Quadrille!":
Off with his head!

Details of Your Personality, How You Are As A Employee

Sun / Leo

The LEO Employee
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright-
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

If you have the pleasure of employing a Leo, you'll quickly realize that it's nearly impossible to overlook their presence. Even if they happen to be more reserved, ignoring them would be unwise. The assertive lions will ensure that you appreciate their talents and acknowledge their value by simply informing you of their greatness. The timid pussycats will sulk until they receive the same treatment. Ultimately, it all boils down to the same thing - you mustn't disregard your Leo employees.

Whether the lion roars from center stage or bides their time in the wings, their pride is unmistakable. They possess a sense of dignity and recognize their inherent superiority, and they won't allow anyone to overlook it. Leos are not the kind of individuals who conceal their brilliance. If their vanity isn't acknowledged, both types of lions will seek greener pastures elsewhere. They simply cannot tolerate being underestimated.

Leos have a profound affinity for titles. The grander and more extravagant, the better. Even if you offer the lion a significant raise, granting their coworker the title of "Chief of Office Coordination" will hardly be appreciated. They'll brood over their colleague's increased status, firmly believing that they, and only they, deserve such a promotion.

Their insistence on asserting their rights should not be mistaken for perversity. It is an inherent part of their nature to be the masters of all they survey. Leadership courses through their veins, and it is impossible to completely extinguish this quality. Leo is naturally inclined to assume responsibility. They feel useless and unwanted when they aren't given some form of obligation. If no other avenue exists for them to establish their importance, they'll provide free advice to friends and family. Even strangers won't be neglected. Leos freely dispense their pearls of wisdom to all. They'll tell you how much you should be paying for that extra room you want to build over your garage, offer guidance to your secretary about her alimony troubles, inform the cleaning lady of the best ointment for her sore toe, and explain to the mailman how he could improve the efficiency of his deliveries. The less significant their role in the workplace, the more seriously they will embrace their role as counselors.

I once knew a Leo man (of the quieter variety) who worked for a large company. For years, his family operated under the vague impression that he was the district sales manager. In reality, he was an ordinary salesman and a route supervisor, though he was one of the most indispensable individuals in the company. Unable to assume the position of sales manager until the well-qualified man holding the title retired, the Leo swallowed his wounded pride and allowed his family to believe he held the position.

His immense sense of responsibility was evident in his unwavering loyalty and dedication over the years. He spent a quarter of a century supplying the company with creative advertising ideas that translated into steadily increasing profits. Simultaneously, he competently supervised the company's truck routes in all types of weather, at all hours, and awaited the recognition he rightfully deserved. However, when the sales manager finally retired, a younger individual was brought in from New York to assume the role. It was on that day that the Leo resigned. With a heavy Capricorn influence in his birth chart, he handled the situation with greater ease than the typical Leo. However, the scars from the deep wound inflicted upon his pride will remain with him for the rest of his life. There is nothing sadder than witnessing the dignified lion robbed of the respect he so desperately seeks and genuinely deserves.

Make a note that the leonine sense of responsibility, which can be incredibly impressive, typically emerges in full force during maturity. In their youth, Leos are classical playboys, joyfully prancing through days and nights filled with wine, women, and song. They wear the flashiest clothes, making everyone laugh with their clown-like antics and roaring when someone steps on their magnificent tails.

Young Leo employees are ideally suited for roles in promotion and sales. They possess a natural showmanship and their warm, sunny dispositions will keep your customers satisfied. Later, as they mature, these big cats can gradually transition into top-level positions, where they will dutifully fulfill any responsibility entrusted to them. It's wise for any manager to recognize when the lion has graduated from the role of playboy prince to the just and dignified king.

It's a peculiar trait of Leos, regardless of gender. Beneath their brave exteriors, they secretly fear lacking genuine courage. They may exhibit pride, vanity, and even laziness, but when a crisis emerges - be it personal or professional - they suddenly display unwavering strength. Surprising everyone, they reveal their true nature, their inner power, when faced with immense pressure or burden.

Jacqueline Kennedy's childhood of ease and comfort left people wholly unprepared for her incredible courage in the face of unspeakable tragedy. A Leo with a reputation as a playboy will astonish their friends when they bravely and cheerfully support an invalid spouse and two elderly aunts after a thoughtless, carefree, and irresponsible youth. Individuals born under the sign of the Lion, ruled by the Sun, rarely realize the extraordinary power they possess until tested. Until that time arrives, always remember that they are merely pretending to be strong. Behind their fierce roars lies an unnecessary inferiority complex.

If a Leo cannot assume a position of authority, they must have a role that allows them to showcase their talents and abilities to the world in some way. After changing jobs a dozen times due to a lack of promotion to at least a vice presidency, the typical Leo will often gravitate toward professions where they can be their own bosses. If denied the opportunity to be an executive or a leader, they find contentment as teachers, salespeople, doctors, lawyers, managers, counselors, speakers, announcers, actors, actresses, writers, plumbers, or tourist guides. The lion seeks a vocation that enables them to impart their superior knowledge to others in some capacity or to bask in the bright spotlight of publicity. They shine brightest in the fields of politics and public relations.

Remember that your Leo employee will either ascend to an executive position on par with your own within a reasonable timeframe, or they will depart. They can never be satisfied working behind the scenes. They crave applause and adoration, and it is your responsibility as the manager to provide them with a steady stream of compliments. Withholding flattery from your Leo employee will diminish their potential value by at least fifty percent.

Ensure that your lioness's vanity is regularly nurtured as well. Occasionally bring her a yellow rose to adorn her hair, disregarding the whispers of gossip. You can't afford to lose her. Those gossips lack her virtues and abilities. Frequently express how lovely she looks, how intelligent she is, and occasionally provide her with complimentary tickets to a concert or a grand event. Always ensure you have two tickets available, as the Leo woman will inevitably be married, in love, or have a special someone in her life throughout the year.

As for the lion, treat him to lunch frequently, preferably at an upscale restaurant where important people can observe him in the company of a high-ranking individual. Whenever possible, assign the responsibility of training new employees to your male and female Leo team members. They won't mind the extra work; they'll take pride in the additional responsibility, relishing the opportunity to assert their authority and guide others.

A little astrological psychology, cleverly applied, can transform your proud and touchy Leos into true assets for the company. They will adorn the office with their grace and enthusiasm. Surround them with bright lights, vivid yellow or orange draperies and carpets, and the most luxurious desks and typewriters within your budget. Nothing dampens a Leo's spirit more than having to work with outdated, shabby equipment, unless it's working with pessimistic and unimaginative individuals.

Leos require generous expense accounts and a bit of extra time for lunch. Meals are social occasions for them, and they utilize these opportunities to showcase their promotional skills. Provide them with a general idea, and they will transform it into a dramatic campaign that may attract numerous new customers. You can't expect them to operate at full speed when they're watching the clock and worrying about finances. While Leos can quickly calculate figures, they seldom develop the skill of counting pennies.

As for the clock, it restricts their style. The lion is easily tamed if you know how. Loosen the rules and lower the barriers slightly. Leos cannot be confined, as doing so will lead to sulking and a loss of their natural drive.

It's a wise decision to hire a Leo. They bring excitement to the workplace and can shoulder enormous burdens without complaint. They require a rich diet of compliments, authority, raises, titles, and freedom, but this isn't too high a price to pay for their intelligence, loyalty, faith, ideas, and sense of responsibility. After all, how many bosses have royalty on their payroll? Cater to both your big cats and shy pussycats, providing them with an ample supply of catnip, and they will justify the investment by becoming your most ardent supporters, proudly representing your company as if they were the owners themselves. The lion's heart is as vast as their ego.
