Your ruling planet: The Moon

Your gemstone: Moonstone
Life Pursuit: Constant reassurance and intimacy
Vibration: Moody
Cancer's Secret Desire: To feel safe (emotionally, spiritually, romantically and financially)
Cancer's Spiritual Goal: To learn how to take a balanced view of things.
Cancer being the fourth sign of the zodiac is concerned with:
* receptivity, sensitivity, defense
* home, protection, comfort, domesticity
* food, nurturing instincts
* nostalgia, sentiment, roots, antiques
* money, business, response to public need
* dreams, the psychic, telepathy
* family, history, memory, patriotism
Elemental Quality
Cancer is the cardinal sign of the zodiac. It can be liken to a safe harbor in which boats can take shelter from the dangers on the sea of life. Water finds its own level -- it settles. The metaphorical harbor is the way Cancer provides a safe and organized place for human activity, setting each ship in its allotted place.
Secret Cancer
Inside anyone who has strong Cancerian influences is a person who was very shy when young and who still tends to use a hard outer shell in defense against what are perceived as hurts from other people. The most vulnerable part of the Cancerian personality is an inner fear of nameless dangers that often reduce a wonderful dream to a pessimistic worry. The fear is becoming lost in the dark of outer space. This indefinable fear of insecurity is often what drives the typical Cancerian personality to invest much time and effort in activities which will enhance a feeling of security and self-preservation.
Ruling Planet and Its Effect
The Moon rules the zodiac sign of Cancer, so anyone whose birthchart has a strong Cancerian influence will absorb and accurately reflect every emotion that is experienced. In astrology, the Moon's cycle of waxing and waning is a metaphor for the cycle of changing moods of the Cancerian personality, who can experience periods of wondrous elation and of crabby depression. The Moon is also associated with oddities and, when in the mood, Cancerian humor can be quite crazy -- almost lunatic. Cancerian humor provides some of the best comedy in the world of entertainment, because it is always based on an accurate observation of human nature.
Cancer and Love
For a Cancerian, love thrives when there is a combination of constant affection with a healthy bank balance and substantial assets.
A Cancerian in love will have many of the characteristics listed below.
Behavior when in Love of the typical Cancerian:
* will rarely make the first move
* fears he or she will be rejected
* will retreat, deeply hurt, at the first sign of ridicule or criticism
* will respond to honest warmth and affection
* can become tenaciously attached to the loved one
* is a romantic at heart
* will put the loved one first in all things
Expectations of the typical Cancerian expects:
* to be loved forever
* to have his or her cooking appreciated
* to work hard for money and security
* the family to come first in all things
* to be needed as a tower of strength and refuse
* unshakable loyalty and devotion
Cancer and Friends
In general, Cancer likes friends who will support his or her emotional and financial needs when necessary -- and Cancer will reciprocate.
Positive Factors
Friends are, in many ways, regarded as family possessions themselves and are treated as such, with loving care, protective hospitality, sensitive consideration, and great tenderness. Although some friends may come and go, friends from younger days are the most precious.
Negative Factors
When he or she is hurt by a friend, the Cancerian anger may last for a long time and the friend may be abandoned. However, if the friend is an old friend, then the emotional attachment will finally lead to reconciliation. Cancerians do tend to set their own standards by the progress their friends are making.
Likes
* anyone who loves his or her mother
* sentimental and family keepsakes
* gourmet food
* shopping trips
* history, especially family genealogy
* any demonstration of affection such as flowers
* a birthday card on the right date
* the company of other people
* a calm working atmosphere
* physical contact
Dislikes
* any tiny criticism of the home
* having to handle a crisis
* pressure to take part in conversation
* anyone who refuses their cooking
* people who forget names and dates (Cancerians have excellent memories themselves)
Love & Blessings

Just curious as to who it is that gives everybody who has anything positive to say about Cancer a thumbs down rating even though it's a very good answer. And it's not just this question, I've seen it on other astrology questions too. If they have no interest in astrology, then why come to this section and put people down who are? You didn't give a day, so I'm don't know if your early, middle, or late Cancer. But like the person above that won at the Casino, Cancers depending what day, all within the next couple years, if it hasn't already happened to you, will be experiencing some out of the blue blessing in one way or another. For some, it may mean finally meeting Mr or Mrs right. For others, a much dreamed of cruise, a new home, or whatever. But it will be a once in a lifetime thing as it happens only once in every 84 years. And it could be a second chance at something in your past or reward for something you once did.

Yes, you're a water sign, meaning you are sensitive and emotional.
Cancers are very dynamic. People will find you easy to trust, because a lot of times you are trust worthy. Very overprotective when it comes to those you love, people will be lucky if you do care for them. Cancers are also very patient, which is why most people will find them easy to get along with.
Cancers can show two different emotions at the same time, and daily almost. Ever happy and sad, like joyfully shedgin tears, or angry yet smilling. They tend to make good parents because they have that protective nature. Cancers aren't too sociable, they like to get to know one individual at a time. And can get jealous if they feel a more social mate is out and about, fearing they will no longer want Cancer's friendship. Which is while Cancers are so good with scorpios, because they are almost the same person. The crab being the scorpionn's cousin.
Cancers can get along with anyone as long as that person doesn't instantly attack their feelings, and if so Cancer like a crab will snap back, and probably be consistant with it in further days to come. But for the most part, Cancers make good friends and lovers, they are loyal and friendly most of the time. A cancers sexuality can be addictive(many are sex addicts and some rapist). Cancers once started will have a consistant sex drive, mostly the males.
Cancer's key phrase is" I feel"
Meaning they thrive off their emotions. Either it being interacting with peole, sexual activity, working, they always show some type of emotion.
Cancers are most compatible with...
Scorpios
Taurus
Pisces
Some Capricorns, Some Aries
Few Libras

Cancer is the sign that begins the Summer season and is represented by the Crab. If you ever watch a crab you will notice that its' approach to anything is done in a sideways motion instead of a direct line; and it will stop its' approach if it deems there is some kind of danger. The cautiousness seen in the crab also embodies the zodiac sign.
The crab also protects itself with its hard outer shell and vice-like claws. Once the crab grabs on to something it doesn't want to let go. Cancerians like to hold on to what they have whether it be a person or object if there is a great deal of sentimental attachment. The crab also has a soft underbelly and can be easily injured in this area. Cancer people can be easily hurt too even though they are cautious and protective.
Since the sign is associated with the element of water which ebbs and flows, Cancer is intuitive as well as emotional. At times their emotionalism can lead them to be very touchy and can cause episodes of brooding and feeling sorry for oneself. However their sensitiveness provides a means in which to help others and have a greater understanding and tolerance for someone else's plight.
Cancer is associated with the home which involves the domestic arena as well as the roots of one's life. A child's early upbringing is mostly interactive with the mother at home. Mothers usually attempt to instill security and love within the home thus providing the child a foundation on which to build on those qualities in the future. When we think of our home we associate certain chores that occur such as cooking and cleaning and decorating as well as home repairs. Cancer people can be very handy in doing small repairs and have a flair for home decorations.
Cancer people can also be traditional since the sign embodies our roots and background that we come from via our parents and home. Usually traditions are more apparent around holidays when there are family gatherings and food preparation. When these gatherings occur the house is put in order with the daily chores of cleaning and businest of cooking. These are domestic chores and domesticity is part of the Cancerian persona. Also many conversations unfold during family get togethers regarding past memories of other family events. Therefore likng things of the past and having a good memory are also Cancer traits.

You are very kind and you regard your friends like they are your family. You are very patient, gentle and compassionate to others, and are the first one to give a friend a hug when they have had a bad day. You truly care when friends tell you their problems. If you have a younger sibling, you are very protective of them because you love your family so much!
You tend to be on the shy side! Being shy can be a problem when you really want something and are afraid to speak up. You get your feelings hurt often, and instead of getting to the heart of the matter and fixing it, you tend to let it build up inside. It's okay to tell someone how you are feeling, and with your Cancer care, you will do it with kindness! Also, watch those mood swings!

Yes, you are a very sensitive person , a home body type, loving
and caring person. Probably very sensuous one moment and
down to earth the next. You are very emotional at times but
sensible at other times. Your emotions are affected by the moon.
You love the water.
I also was born under this sign. In 2005 , it was predicted that I
would come into a nice surprise at the end of the year . I won
$1500 at the casino in Dec 2005
