Cancers are the most loving, caring and dedicated people of the zodiac. Born between June 21 and July 22, these individuals can be very easy to get along with because they are devoted to their family and friends and don't mind putting the needs of others before their own.

What characterises them most is their need to serve and to be the one that others always turn to. The fact that they sometimes complain and don't want to talk is not so funny about them, so they may have to work a little harder on these things.


The qualities of Cancer in a nutshell:

Positive traits: Tenacity, reliability and persuasiveness;

Negative traits: Indecisiveness, moodiness and distrust;

Symbolism: The Crab is the symbol of the emotional withdrawal and nurturing nature of these natives.

Motto: I feel.

Very family oriented and desiring a home of their own more than anything else, Cancer natives will always support others to be in touch with their emotions because they are emotional themselves.


An imaginative personality

Relying heavily on intuition and feelings, Cancers can be very difficult to get to know or be close to. Their sensitive souls make them delicate and very attached to everything to do with family and home.

They are emphatic and approach people as quickly as others speak. People of the sign of Cancer find it easy to guess what others are feeling and thinking.

Belonging to the Water element, like the sign of Pisces and Scorpio, they are dominated only by their emotions and do not use their logic very much. Therefore, they may have difficulties in dealing with different people and with their own environment.

As the moon is their ruling organ, they have moods according to the phases of the moon, which gives them an air of mystery and also does not allow them to be in control of their emotional world.

As children, they often don't know what to do to protect themselves from those who are aggressive, so they need someone to take care of them. They want to be understood because that is what they offer to others anyway.

Although they love their privacy and prefer to spend their time at home, Cancers are also very sociable when the situation calls for it. They have a way of putting on a cool exterior, so they appear aloof, and only those who know them very well are aware that they are really someone else.

Inwardly, Cancerians are generous and fragile. Sometimes their imagination runs wild, which is bad because they may think that some people have hurt them, even when the argument had nothing to do with them.

When it comes to romance, they have high ideals, so their partner may not always live up to their expectations.

In love with the theatre and everything related to art, they would make great critics and even artists. Although they give the impression of being very grounded in reality, many of them are in fact interested in the occult or paranormal world.

Some are good seers who make a living from their talents. Sometimes they are exaggeratedly generous, they may give everything they have to make others happy.

It's not that they don't pay attention to their money, they just prefer to give it away if someone really needs help.

When they are stressed, Cancers need to spend more time alone because talking about their problems can't help them all the time. That is why their loved ones should give them all the space they need to solve their problems and get back to being themselves.

As family members, you will impress with your cooking and the way you make your home the most comfortable place in the world.

Careful with their money, Cancerians always save something for a rainy day. As they are moody and sometimes lie around feeling sorry for themselves, they may not keep their house in order.

As for their profession, they are great writers, cooks and even nurses. If they were politicians, changing their minds and parties would not be a problem for them.

Other jobs, such as estate agents and gardeners, are also ideal for them because they appreciate value and are really affectionate.

They are easy to flatter and impress, but they also have a soft spot when it comes to hurting themselves. Determined to succeed, these natives are also more likely to follow the majority, regardless of whether the opinions of the masses are to their liking or not. The more they identify with a cause, the more they will fight for it.

Belonging to the Water element, they have a love for the ocean and any other kind of water. When they swim, they regain their energy, so they may need to live near a river or the sea to feel happy and keep their emotions under control.

Sometimes impatient and always overly moody, they can later become the type who is always feeling sorry for themselves and trying to manipulate others. It is in their nature to be helpful and avoid any kind of conflict, so you will rarely see them argue.

In fact, they need to be protected, so their partner is most likely to be someone strong and very hellish. You can be sure that they are happy if only they have a peaceful home and a large family.


Positive qualities of Cancer

Cancers trust their intuition so much that they are considered psychics. It is very difficult to lie to them because they immediately identify dishonesty and deceitfulness.

Possessing an amazing memory and being able to notice hidden intentions, they can immediately determine if someone is trying to deceive or has a different agenda than the one they espouse.

The most amazing thing about Cancers is that they are compassionate and truly capable of caring for others.

As they are the most emphatic people of the zodiac, they sometimes have trouble setting boundaries between themselves and their loved ones.

They find it very easy to feel other people's pain and suffering. If they are not afraid of getting hurt and accept the fact that some of their emotions are not really their own, they can easily adapt and become the caring personalities they try to be.

Reliable and usually honest, these natives are truly appreciated by all their friends and family.


Negative Cancer Traits

Moody, twisted and not at all predictable, Cancers can have too many emotions and are very sensitive when someone says something unpleasant to them.

Those who think of them as clingy are more than right because they really are. They are also very possessive, and can make their loved ones uncomfortable with their jealousy.

Not to mention that when they feel hurt or somehow unappreciated, they simply retreat into their productive shell and no longer want to talk.

Most of the time they cling to the past, are terrified of the future and are not at all stable in the present.

The Moon influences them to be a roller coaster of emotions, so it is not very easy to follow them or to be aware of their inner world.

It seems that their feelings are always on edge and they can't be too effective in their daily lives.


Qualities of the Cancer man

The Cancer man is shy and often an enigma to others because he is ruled by the Moon.

When meeting someone for the first time, they are reserved, so people may need to meet them many times to get to know them well.

As soon as a person starts to be aggressive, he immediately hides under his protective shell and becomes very introverted.

It is essential to work with him at his own pace and wait for his feelings to reveal themselves, because using force can never work with this man.

Knowing him for what he really is after the first few encounters can never work because he changes his ways from moment to moment and can never be consistent.

Of course, the influence of the Moon is responsible for all this. He does not have two personalities like the Gemini man, he is simply changeable and at the same time capable of feeling what others do not even imagine they could.

He is one of the most sensitive men of the zodiac. Like the crab that represents him, he has claws and uses them to defend himself.

In case he seems unpleasant, cold and a bit sarcastic, you can be sure that he is just trying to hide what he feels inside or that he is probably scared, because his nature is to be kind, loving and sympathetic.

Whatever happens, he will always be polite and treat others as a gentleman, as he believes in traditions and wants to respect the people around him.

A family man, this Cancer wants a great lady with whom he can have many children. He is very serious when it comes to home and family matters, so you can be sure he will never cheat on his wife or pay more attention to his work than to his personal life.


Qualities of the Cancer woman

Ruled by the Moon, the Cancer woman has moods according to the lunar phases. She seems to be like water, her element, and has an outward calmness which hides great passion.

Her emotions are multiple and complex, so she can be stubborn and tolerant, angry and sweet, all in a single hour. This lady is one of the most difficult of the zodiac, because she cannot be pigeonholed into a stereotype and is always changing her ways.

When it comes to her dreams, she is determined to make them come true, even if she seems reserved and withdrawn, especially when someone attacks her.

You have to be very careful with her feelings and hopes because she is very sensitive. She is perfect as a mother because she is loving and very empathetic.

In case someone criticises her, this lady takes things personally and never forgets it. Being the first sign of the zodiac belonging to Walter and ruled by the Moon, the Cancer woman relies a lot on her intuition and does not mind putting her imagination into practice.

When he says that someone is untrustworthy, you can be sure that he is right, even if there are no compelling reasons for him to believe it.

She does not judge or analyse things logically, but she certainly has good instincts and can sense when someone is lying. Very attentive to what others may be feeling, she is emotional and has amazing psychic abilities.
