Answer 2

Cancer is symbolized by the Crab. You're deeply emotional and intuitive, and your top concern is family. Something of a homebody, you prefer to stay in rather than go out on the town. You can be moody, drawing into your protective shell if things get too intense around you
.The Art of the Approach: Cancers need to feel emotionally secure before crawling out of their shells, so what works best is some good old-fashioned courtship. Guys: Dust off that pedestal and unfurl the red carpet. Gals: Do the same. Both female and male Crabs enjoy a mate who takes the lead in planning an evening of romance. In fact, they're usually waiting patiently for such an occasion to arise.
Seduction Mantra: Trust leads to lust.
You Know It's Working When: A captivated Cancer will develop a serene inner glow: Look for a radiant smile, healthy appetite, conversation and eye contact galore. When you two truly get close, you may also notice the telltale heart on his or her sleeve.

Cancer, the fourth Sign of the Zodiac, is all about home. Those born under this Sign are 'roots' kinds of people and take great pleasure in the comforts of home and family. Cancers are maternal, domestic and love to nurture others. More than likely, their family will be large, too -- the more, the merrier! Cancers will certainly be merry if their home life is serene and harmonious. Traditions are upheld with great zest in a Cancer's household, since these folks prize family history and love communal activities. They also tend to be patriotic, waving the flag whenever possible. A Cancer's good memory is the basis for stories told around the dinner table, and don't be surprised if these folks get emotional about things. Those born under this Sign wear their heart on their sleeve, which is just fine by them.

The mascot of Cancerians is the Crab, and much like this shelled little critter, Cancerians are quick to retreat into their shells if it suits their mood. No wonder these folks are called crabby! For Cancer, it's not that big of a deal, though, since they consider this 'shell' a second home (and they do love home). The flip side of this hiding is that shell-bound Crabs are often quite moody. Further, in keeping with their difficulty in sharing their innermost feelings, it can become a Herculean task to pry a Crab out of its secret hiding place. What to do? Give the Crab time -- eventually these folks will come out to play again. When they do, they'll be the first to say so, in keeping with the Cardinal Quality attached to this Sign. It's said that Crabs are first to laugh and first to cry, so you can bet they'll fill you in. That shell, by the way, isn't the only tough thing about Crabs. These folks are tenacious and strong-willed and like to get their way. If their well-documented kindness and gentleness doesn't do the trick, however, they're not above using emotional manipulation to make things happen. If that still doesn't work, they'll just go back to their shell and sulk, or find a way to get back at the source of their pain, since Crabs can be rather vindictive. That said, any self-respecting Crab would tell you that they are ultimately motivated by protecting their home and loved ones, a most noble goal.

Answer 3

Positive Traits: kind, loving, emotional, intuitive, imaginative, shrewd, cautious, protective and sympathetic.

Negative Traits: changeable, moody, over-emotional, touchy, untidy, clinging, unable to "let go," and a tendency to wallow in self-pity.

But please bear in mind that the typical lay person when looking at a newspaper or web and state they are a cancer is only talking about their sun sign.

If you think about astrology as a puzzle with numerous pieces. Your sun sign may be in Cancer which people could state you were moody but if your moon sign is in Virgo which the moon is emotions you would be more analytical.

Unless you are going to look at astrology in its entirety - look at it just in fun.
