Cancer Life Path 5

A Cancer with Life Path 5 blends two forces: the water temperament of the Cancer — a depth of feeling, intuition and emotional memory — and the explorer drive of the 5 vibration. The two create productive tension. The Cancer's instincts and the 5 path want different things, and the work of this combination is learning to let each have its turn rather than cancelling the other out.

Where the Cancer brings nurturing, intuitive, protective, Life Path 5 adds purpose and direction: The Explorer carries a restless hunger for freedom, adventure and constant change. At its best, a Cancer Life Path 5 channels water energy into the 5's mission; at its most unbalanced, the water instinct runs ahead of the path and the two pull apart.
