Cancer is a watery sign ruled by Moon. There is an old saying: “water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth”. This is how Cancerians can be described. It is an emotional sign and feelings are openly displayed. Cancer people are sensitive to others’ pain and suffering. There is an inherent motherly nature with them. The soft and tender heart in them will always inspire them to serve and give a helping hand.

Cancer Personality in Astrology

Generally, these folks prefer to be in a protective environment. They may not be big risk-takers and keep themselves away from potential threats. Generally, they prefer to first own a house more than anything. They feel owning a house will safeguard them and their family. Their family is everything to them. They find happiness and joy in taking responsibility for the family members. They can sacrifice to any extent to see the joy in the family. At the same time, they will become very attached to the family, and separation for a brief moment can also take them into depression. They are more attached to their mothers. At the time of crisis, they prefer their mother to console them.

Cancer often becomes moody. Their emotions and feelings swing wildly. It is very important for them to create a balance in their emotions. The people around them have to deal with them patiently in this situation. Like the Moon changes its pattern every day, the mental framework is also beyond their control.

Cancerians are intuitive and blessed with psychic abilities. However, the level of intuition depends on the position and aspect of the Moon from other planets. Generally, they are able to process the information in their mind very fast and take appropriate decisions. This will happen because their mind is not rigid and aligned to nature. Hence the mind will become receptive to the changing environment.

Crab is the symbol of Cancer. Crab is a creature that has a tough and strong outer layer (shell) which protects the soft and gentle inside. Similarly, Cancerians are very strong and have willpower, but very soft and kind-hearted. Sometimes, people misjudge them as weak and fragile and misuse them also.

Cancerians are very romantic in nature. Also as the sign is a watery sign, the emotions and feelings will flow naturally. They love to pamper their partner and expect reciprocal treatment from others.

Positive Side of Cancer Personality

Cancer people are very helpful in nature because they feel others’ pain and suffering. They are always ready to serve society in any possible manner.

Negative Side of Cancer Personality

Sometimes Cancer people emotionally get so attached to others, that they can not do anything independently. This clinging type of behaviour will rob away their strength. Another aspect of them is oversensitivity. Sometimes they should learn to be practical.
