Cancer June 22 - July 22

You may feel like you are simply being left out of the equation, dear Cancer. Perhaps you feel like the oddball - the fifth wheel - who simply does not have a place to fit in. Don't worry. Just because you may be feeling out of place today doesn't mean that this is your destiny for life. If you don't like the course you are on, change your position. If you don't like the people you are with, move on to a different social circle. Do not blame your circumstances on others. Take responsibility for them yourself.


I am the one who dances in gales
And thinks seahorses are cute
Who thinks even the humble fly has a soul
And wants to be reincarnated as a newt

I am the one that laughs out loud in public places, Waves at lorry drivers, pulls funny faces
Who is unashamed of all her disgraces
I’m right here

I swallowed 15p
Trying to be a money box
When I was three
And a wheelchair to me
Is just another way
Of skipping an entrance fee
And thank god for that

I’m the one who sees beauty
In the humble bog
Turns the Prince into the frog
Always cheers for the underdog
I’m sorry that’s just me
