Cancer is the sign of the Crab
Element water & motto 'I Feel'
Character
Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac and is represented by the crab. You are a very complex character but despite this, you are very caring and will always put your family first. Because you don't like confrontation you hide behind a brash and extrovert exterior to protect yourself. Despite this appearance you are not aggressive at all but very protective of those close to you, especially children. At work you may appear very confident on the outside but when you are at home you need constant shows of love and affection. Cancer is associated with the chest/breasts and this is symbolic of your nurturing nature. With a Cancer Sun you are deeply emotional, kind and sensitive but at the same time you are easily offended and have a long memory. Because of this you can be defensive, overly protective and unforgiving. You have a powerful imagination and sometimes this is expressed as a flash of genius. Your instinctive nurturing ability makes you an excellent partner and homemaker with your home and family of utmost importance to you. You are easily influenced by your environment so having a quiet retreat at home where you feel comfortable and relaxed is essential. Being an introvert you also like to solve your problems on your own in quiet solitude and you find any type of disruption or change difficult to cope with. You have a strong connection to the past, which makes you a natural collector, but this also means you probably never throw anything away and this is especially true of family mementos. As you are prone to mood swings your good business sense is put to best use in a partnership where someone else is there to keep you emotionally stable. Your aim should be to keep a positive outlook and your energy levels constant.

Career
As a career, any of the caring professions like nursing, welfare or midwifery are suitable as well as teaching very young children. Also, anything connected to the sea or business connected with liquids of any kind, religion or spiritual matters. Being interested in the past makes you naturally drawn to work as a historian, antique dealer or in a museum. You are also a natural cook. Ambition is not as important to you as fulfilment but you do like to make money even if you do not like to part with it.
Love
You are home-loving and need to feel secure in both your relationship and surroundings so you need a partner who can provide both as well as put up with your mood swings. You make very tender and caring lovers, however, your extreme sensitivity can make you prone to bouts of depression.
