Answer 1

In the pseudo science of astrology to which you are referring Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac and associated with family and domesticity. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a kind, emotional, romantic, imaginative, sympathetic, nurturing, and intuitive character, but one which is also prone to changeability, moodiness, hypersensitivity, depression, and clinginess.
In the (real) science of astronomy which I find much more interesting,Cancer (Latin: crab, symbol ♋) is one of the thirteen constellations of the zodiac.

Cancer is an astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Cancer. Under the tropical zodiac, Cancer is occupied by the Sun from June 21 to July 22 and under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently from July 21 to August 9. The sign opposite to Cancer is Capricorn.

Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac and associated with family and domesticity. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a kind, emotional, romantic, imaginative, sympathetic, nurturing, and intuitive character, but one which is also prone to changeability, moodiness, hypersensitivity, depression, and clinginess. In terms of anatomy, Cancer is said to rule the breasts, epigastric region, elbows, stomach, digestive organs, upper lobe of the liver, thoracic duct, pancreas, blood serum, and the womb. In terms of geography Cancer is linked with New Zealand, the Netherlands, Scotland, Africa, and Italy.

Physically, individuals born under the sign of Cancer supposedly tend to have smallish shoulders, small feet, slender limbs, modest curves, (if female) thin light hair, bright 'trusting,' eyes, small fingers, a round face, a broad forehead, They are thought to be of very variable height.

In the past, Cancer was considered an unfortunate but fruitful sign, strongly associated with tribes, clans, and closely-knit family groups.

In mythology Cancer is often associated with the Greek myth of the Lernaean Hydra, one of The Twelve Labours of Herakles and the mythical figure of Perseus, from the Greek myth of Medusa. Cancer is also associated with the Greco-Roman goddess Selene/Luna and sometimes the goddesses Artemis/Diana and Hecate/Trivia

Answer 3

Ah, cancers. I love 'em.

-Youre a sensitive, caring bunch.
-Seem to have a knack for parenting
-Very nurturing
-tend to be homebodies
-sometimes tend to shape their lives after romantic ideals
-have an extremely retentive memory
-can be moody
-can have a bad temper

though i do warn that these are general characteristics for a large group of people. if you want to learn more about yourself in terms of astrology i would have a full reading done. there are lots of things that play into the person you are. if you are born between june 20-july 20 (loose estimation) your sun sign is cancer, but you maybe have a different moon sign (or rising sign, etc). Moon signs are just another way to uncover information about oneself in terms of astrology.

Happy horoscope hunting!

Answer 4

Two of my closest friends are Cancers. I'm a Leo. From my experience with the two (one is a girl and one is a guy) They are fun to talk to and tend to be really understanding but they are definitely moody and emotional. One minute they are cool as heck, and the next they are being complete jerks but they mean well. Me being a Leo...i tend to hurt their feelings easily because i'm very straightforward and can't stand extreme sensitivity which is something that they both possess. Sensitivity to the point of annoying. The girl cries very easily and the guy is just moody.

Answer 5

Cancer is 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

Element: Water

Ruling planet: The Moon

Symbol: The Crab

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 is to learn how to take a balanced view of things.

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 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.

Cancer 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

Cancer 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
