that hangs over places stocked with butchered flesh." 

After her words had poured out, she was trembling, with a mixture of compassion and fury.  Her maternal Cancer Sun Sign was causing her heart to break over the face of the child, while her Sagittarian Moon and Ascendant (Sag is an animal lover) caused her remarks to be blunt and honest, plain-spoken and to the point. 

"I know," I tried to comfort her, "and I share your feelings.  You're right.  Nevertheless, spiritual awareness is gradually beginning to grow, as people feel the vibrations of the Aquarian Age.  One of the proofs it's growing is that the owners of slaughterhouses have nervously sensed the change, and no longer allow the public to enter and see what goes on inside.  The people who work there suffer too, in a different, but maybe equally as terrible a way as the animals, because a recent survey of all occupations by insurance companies revealed that butchers and employees of slaughterhouses are among the groups with the highest rate of suicide - and while that's a sad statistic of subconscious guilt, it's an indication that Earthlings are slowly but surely coming closer to enlightenment." 

After a while, my friend stopped crying - about the same time I did myself.  I mention this true incident to illustrate the combined essence of Cancer and Sagittarius, but also for another reason, best summed up by borrowing the final words from the Martin Marietta Company advertisement although my meaning is far different from theirs).  The ad ended with a comment:  "This is for Troy, and for the future." 

At various times during the 6-8 Sun Sign Pattern association, the Crab and the Archer will clash over the subject of money, which is always burning a hole in Sagittarian pockets.  It seldom burns a hole in Cancer's pockets.  It's more likely to tear loose the seams with sheer weight, because the Crabs do enjoy accumulating large amounts of cash, and they prefer it to be as near their person as possible at all times.  Their fights will be frequent in the area of finances, but they can probably come to some sort of compromise, through friendly mutual agreement.  The one astrology would suggest as being the most helpful is for Cancer to maternally (or paternally) keep patching and sewing up the holes that money burns in Sag pockets (training the Archer to be a bit more conservative, in a gentle way) and for Sagittarius to keep Cancer's pockets from bursting at the seams by kindly offering to take some of the Crab's excess cash off his (or her) hands to invest.  Archers are startlingly lucky regarding matters like gambling, such as the stock market (the biggest gamble of them all).  This will have a dual benefit.  It will train Cancer to be more generous and giving, and it will also tickle the Crabs when they gradually learn that Sag has an unexpected way of quickly doubling their money for them - some of the time, that is.  Everyone can experience a losing streak, and on such rare occasions (since the typical Sag is too blessed by Jupiter luck to suffer major losses consistently) the Crab must refrain from snapping, pouting and scolding.  Otherwise, the Archer will leave in a huff, after causing Cancer to weep by singing a few pertinent parting remarks about stinginess, and refuse to do any more favours if they're not appreciated. 

The Cancerian man or woman will inevitably (even though in the background) be the subtle leader of this 6-8 association between two people who are so very different from each other.  Because the Crab is Cardinal and Sag is Mutable.  Being Cardinal causes a person to secretly be determined to be in command, and openly resent taking orders from others.  There could be some difficulty here, because, although Mutable Sag is not particularly interested in being a leader (Archers would rather gallop around, hither and yon, communicating ideas) Sagittarius nonetheless actively (and outspokenly) dislikes taking orders himself - or herself.  The Human end of the dualistic Sagittarian Centaur may be able to accept it cheerfully and philosophically - but the Horse end will kick considerably, and rear the equestrian legs in the air now and then.  Sag is half Horse, half Human, you know, both symbolically and literally.  One of those double Sun Signs of duality.  Although the Human end is quite bright, often highly studious and intellectual, and optimistically
