Cancen

**SIGN OF THE NEXUS**

CA (N)\* [LIME CASTE] // \*CEN [DERSE + BLOOD]

The alternative sway of Cancen is Cancer, and the opposite sign is Caprius.

The official website defines Cancen in three segments: sign class, lunar sway, and aspect.

Lime Signs are tumultuous, bringing great emotion and creativity to their endeavors. They are resolute in their decisions; if they are going to do something, they do it. They have a tendency toward melodrama, especially when they feel passionately about something, and their bad moods are loud and usually difficult to conceal. Hiding their feelings does not come naturally to them, so many Lime Signs cultivate a hard outer shell to hide the passionate, caring person inside. Lime Signs tend to have a large group of friends-they draw people to them with allure and the promise of excitement, and are usually unaware that they are doing it. They tend to focus on their own flaws, rather than their good points. Although they are exceedingly kind and empathetic individuals, many Lime Signs posses a mean streak. If you catch them on a bad day, they can be incredibly vicious. But it they take care to use their power for good, they make very loyal companions. Romance is extremely important to Lime Signs, and when they fall, they fall hard. They don't take rejection well, and a breakup can send them into a tailspin requiring an extended period of recovery.

Derse Dreamers have personalities marked by a distinct and restless skepticism. Whatever their waking circumstances, chances are they will live in a state of dissatisfaction. Rebellion is in their blood, manifesting whether they are fighting back against a fascist dictatorship, or the most recent trend in casual footwear. Derse Dreamers are cerebral and self-aware; they have a far better grasp on the landscape of their own minds than on the world around them, which they can find alienating and confusing. But as so much of their identity is built on control, they will do their utmost to hide any insecurities, often with false humility or self-deprecating humor. They may be inflexible and pessimistic, but they are also great problem solvers, facing conflicts head-on with shrewd, calculating minds. They see one true path among an infinite snarl of wrong ones. They tend to be introverted, but if you win their trust Derse Dreamers are extremely powerful allies. However, they find sincere vulnerability difficult and will often keep people at arm's length. Letting go and living in the moment is hard for a Derse Dreamer; they constantly look toward the future and analyze the past.

Those bound to the aspect of Blood draw their strength from bonds, from the trust and camaraderie that blooms among a group of people who all share a single vision. Blood-bound are absolutely leaders, but they inhabit more of an inspirational role than a commanding one. They are prophets, rather than generals, giving others the strength and motivation to keep fighting. The Blood-bound can dispense excellent advice even when their own lives and interpersonal relationships are disasters. They can be very "do as I say, not as I do" types. A Blood-bound can often be found on a sinking ship, forcing an endeavor forward with sheer stubborn force of will. No matter how bad things go, a Blood-bound can always count on friends and allies. At their best, they are charismatic, uplifting, and magnetic. At their worst they can be sullen, unkind, and set-in-their-ways.

Cancer (from the Greek Καρκίνος) is the fourth (4th) of twelve (12) western zodiac signs. It takes inspiration from the zodiac Cancer "The Crab", and people born within the months of June 21st to July 22nd are known to be a Cancer (occasionally known as a "Cancerian" or a "Moon Child/Children".) The zodiac Cancer is one (1) of six (6) negative signs, one (1) of four (4) cardinal signs, and one (1) of three (3) water signs alongside Scorpio and Pisces. The sign ruler of Cancer is Moon, the detriment is Saturn, the exhaltation is Jupiter, and the fall is Mars.

The six (6) negative signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces) are known as the signs with a Negative Polarity. This is in reference to the energy that the sign holds. These six (6) signs are traditionally known as the passive, Yin, receptive, or "feminine" signs. The negative signs also include the earth and water triplicities.

The three (3) modalities or modes in reference to a sign is talking about the position it can be found in during each season. The four (4) elements manifests in three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also known as the Quadruplicities, because they are grouped with four (4) signs in each group, one sign of each element. Each of the three (3) modes also have specific traits that the signs grouped to them hold or example. Cardinal signs are known for their action, dynamic, initiative, and great force. The Cardinal signs are Aries (fire), Cancer (water), Libra (air), and Capricorn (earth).

The four (4) elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) are attributed to the twelve (12) western zodiac signs, and each group corresponds to a specific group of traits often found in those signs, along with a personality type that was proposed by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. These groups are known as the Four Element Triplicities. One of these groups is Water which has been known to house the traits of Emotional, Empathetic, Sensitive. According to Hippocrates, the Water element correlates to the Phlegmatic personality type. Phlegmatic people are described to be Stable Introverts, which means that they tend to be careful, thoughtful, controlled, and reliable.

Cancer people have an intuition that can't be beat, which often helps them because they have a tendency to think and act with their heart rather than their head. The Cancer has a deep love and care for all of the people around them, be it friends, family, or any other kind of relationship they might have. They would die for the people that they care about and would stand up and fight for them, even if it put the Cancer themself in danger's way. They might seem emotionally immature at times, but this is because they act upon a whim and do what their emotions and heart tells them to do, but they never mean to hurt the people that are closest to them. Cancer likes to help those around them, but if you hurt the Cancer, they're the type to forgive but never forget, so hope that they never turn sour and seek out revenge for what you did to them.

Cancer has a tendency to pour their heart and soul into media as they strive to be like whoever they're seeing on the screen of their romantic comedies or whatever they're watching, so this leads to high expectations for themself, but Pisces and Scorpio know how to deal with this the best and know how to bring the Cancer back down to earth. Scorpio and Pisces bring out the best in Cancer, and the Cancer does the same for them. Other signs that make for great bonds are Capricorns, Virgos, and Taurus' because they more often than not share the same ideals as the Cancer and they balance each other out. Aries, Aquarius, Libra, and Gemini might prove to be more difficult for the Cancer to hold a relationship with because of their conflicting personalities, but the Cancer is always ready to take on a challenge and these signs could prove to be a wild ride of a relationship.
