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.
Words used to describe Cancer
Introverted, reserved, sensitive, sympathetic, domestic, maternal, protective, moody and
home-loving.
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.
