Part of the Body Ruled by Cancer

Part of the Body Ruled by Cancer

Cancer rules the breasts and the stomach. This part of
the anatomy has always symbolized nourishment and
motherhood, and Cancer natives are characterized as protective
and clinging. Cancer women often have beautiful
bosoms, with soft creamy skin and a curving decolletage.
Men of this sign have well-shaped chests and flat stomachs.
All of this changes as Cancerians grow older, for they
are susceptible to gaining weight in later years. They find it
very difficult to lose excess weight.
Tension, anxiety, and emotional stress are the leading
causes of illness among Cancerians. They have delicate
stomachs and digestive problems and are prone to ulcers,
gallbladder upsets, gas pains, nausea, and gastritis. Their
health is not robust, particularly in childhood, and many
suffer from upper respiratory infections such as bronchitis.
Born under a water sign, Cancerians will overindulge in
wine and alcohol, which they do not tolerate well. Drinking
alcohol aggravates their stomach problems, increases
weight, and causes fluid retention in body tissues.
The Moon, Cancer’s ruler, has dominion over the
breasts and the alimentary canal, heightening the susceptibility
of Cancerians in these areas.
