Cancer Sign

Cancer the Crab
June 22 - July 22

Element: Water
Ruler: Moon
Star Stone: Pearl

When you think of a large body of water, what attributes come to mind? Water is fluid, strong, deep, and can be peaceful or raging. The characteristics of the Cancer sign are influenced by this element. Their emotions tend to ebb and flow like the movement of water, making them moody personalities.

Ruler - Moon

Ruled by the moon, Cancer people are emotional, spiritual, and known to have psychic qualities. The lunar energy of this sign usually gives them inspiration during the twilight hours. This is a good time for Cancers to meditate, write or create.

Personality

Emotional and compassionate to the core, this Cancer sign can be easily hurt or disappointed. Just like the crab that represents it, they have a hard shell that provides a refuge when they are feeling insecure or defeated.

Do not mistake them for weak; although they may be withdrawn for a while, they will come back out to play again. A Cancer personality will not stay down for the count. They have an uncanny ability to rebound and regroup to stand up stronger than ever. Some may regard them as shy at first glance, but given the chance to come out of their shell, they can be the life of the party!

Relationships

Cancers are loyal friends and lovers who will make it a point to really understand and know you. This sign is all about sharing and will never take more than they can give. They are the nurturers of the zodiac who feel more content to give than to receive. Cancer people are the friends you go to with your problems because they are good listeners.

Career

Natural born listeners, Cancer individuals tend to put others at ease. Their finely tuned ability to understand and empathize makes them great psychologists or social workers. They are also wonderful teachers who take great pride in recognizing and developing the potential of every student in their classroom.

Always the dreamer, the Cancer sign tends to indulge in their fantasies, so be prepared to change course any time the need strikes their fancy.
