Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Getting you out of your cozy nest is often tricky, Cancer. Unless you own the company and consider your employees family, an office party may not be your idea of a good time. Your usual strategy when nervous is to overeat -- but that won't make you feel better in the long run. Nor will confiding your secret fears to an office-mate, who may turn them into gossip. Take the focus off yourself and encourage others to confide in you.

Chocolates:

Draws it out to make even the smallest box last for a month.

Food:

Cancer is the homebody that, as a Water Sign, is looking for comfort food. The Crab is an excellent cook, though, so making delicious meals with their favorite flavors -- like basil, garlic, mint, nutmeg and vanilla -- is no problem.

Movies:

The comfortable Crab gets much pleasure out of hunkering down on the couch to watch a miniseries or a family or history movie. You’re likely to have Roots, The Thorn Birds or Shakespeare in Love on video so that you don’t have to leave the comfort of home to go to the theater.

Music:

The sentimental crab likes listening back to the music of the good old days. Folk masters like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash and Cat Stevens are all perfect for curling up and getting lost in memories of the good old days. For a more modern, folk-rock twist, try Tori Amos or Elliott Smith.

Restaurants:

A homebody at heart, the Crab enjoys a good home-cooked meal or take-out. Due to your delicate tummy, you may not be too inclined or advised to try different cuisines.

Sports:

As a Water Sign and aquatic creature, the Crab will be happy to make a splash in team sports played in or on the water like water polo, sailing or ice hockey.

Travel:

Bahamas, Canada, Finland, Orlando, Florida, Thailand, USA, Vietnam, Washington, D.C.

Television:

The Crab flips on baseball games only to hear the singing of the National Anthem. At other times, though, you're looking to classic TV programs, like Leave it to Beaver and Happy Days. Be careful: Once you start watching soap operas, you'll probably never stop.
