 Dyslexia?  Who moved your candles?!

July 14 Cancers are quick-witted, highly verbal, and prone to react in a haughty manner when crossed. Although social and fun-loving, they are more serious than they appear. They understand the structure needed to maintain tradition.

Friends and Lovers

July 14 people are likely to feel especially close to someone who has acted as a mentor to them. In love, either they met their partner through an unusual set of circumstances or they persevered through difficult times in order to keep their marriage or relationship together.

Children and Family

Whether they are aware of the fact, July 14 folks have a desire to constantly reconnect with their upbringing. They have great respect for their parents. As parents, they are often far too permissive. They believe a child should have maximum freedom to develop his or her own potential without interference from parents.
