CANCER
Cancer is a water sign and represents the highly emotional nature of the fourth sign of the Zodiac, to which you belong. Being born under Cancer you are under the sway of the element of water and this also makes you highly caring, generous and intuitive. As a water sign you are highly evolved and even spiritual by nature. The water signs are astrologically and karmically more developed and refined in spirit.
You are for the most part a person of feeling and sensation and this means your experience of life is very much coloured by your sentiment. Often you will ignore your own better rational processes in favour of how you feel rather than what you think about a situation or someone. Obviously that is why others turn to you when they need a shoulder to cry on and why you also would do well in any of the caring professions. This is highlighted by your key life phrase: “I nurture”. Anyone who knows you will agree that you are one of the easiest and most approachable people to connect with if they need advice in trying times.
You are extremely receptive to your environment and the people around you and will often “pick up” their energies, moods and possibly even thoughts. This ability serves you well; your intuition about peoples’ intentions is quite often correct. Your knack of knowing their issues before they even open their mouths attracts them to your natural and helpful style. The difficulty with this, however, is that you also have a tendency to mother others and absorb their negativity. You must guard against this as it will be difficult for you to turn away anyone in need.
As the Moon rules you, you reflect the qualities of this changing Lunar body. At times your emotions get the better of you and you swing from high to low. Family members and friends will be well aware of your moody nature. Those who know you, however, have no doubt about your loyal and supportive nature. You treat everyone as a mother does a child. Friends can turn to you whenever they are experiencing difficulties, knowing that your sensitive and compassionate touch will lighten their load.
You are the consummate home-maker. Even men born under this sign express a ‘feminine’ aspect to their character and love the kitchen and other activities that make them feel more secure in their domestic space. There is also an air of nostalgia surrounding you. You love to collect or keep mementoes of your past, scrapbooks and other memorabilia that can elicit memories of those you care for. Your memory is indeed extraordinary and you have a knack of recalling not just facts, but especially any good turn or kindness bestowed upon you. You're always able to discuss many different subjects with different folk, because you have a retentive memory but also impartiality to people generally. Dealing with people comes naturally to you and, coupled with your shrewd and intuitive sense, makes you a good businessperson. Even if you don’t pursue business as such, you can apply these skills to managing your day-to-day life most resourcefully.
Because the Moon’s domain is the night, many Cancerians are night owls. You may feel most creative when the twilight hours begin. You feel at home in the evening and this is due to your strong affinity with the vibrations of the Lunar energies. Writing, meditating, contemplating or taking leisurely strolls under the Moonlight will energise you.

Kool, I'm a Cancer too. I know exactly what you mean about being soft hearted. It's not a bad thing, but it drives me crazy sometimes, and I wish that I was more hardcore. I know it must be especially difficult for a guy. Basically, you're a good person, if you can get past a few character flaws, like worrying about little things, severe mood swings, uneccesary definsiveness, negativity, and overindulgence in things that bring you pleasure. Other than that, you're swell. Forgive me if none of these things apply to you. Sometimes I have the tendency to turn things about other people into things about me!

Yep, family is very important to you and you're sort of a home-body. While you are very tender hearted and would give the shirt off your back if someone needed it, you usually feel like that person "owes" you for your kindess. If you can get over that, you're really a great person, usually calm, though you can be rather outspoken and have a bit of a wild side.

The Sun awakened Cancer the Crab, a feminine sign in the zodiac on your birthday. The Sun in astrology stands for your inner nature, your essential character. The fourth sign of the Zodiac, Cancer is ruled by the restless Moon. A cardinal (creative and original) sign, Cancer governs home life, matters to do with women (especially the mother), as well as sensitivity and emotional intensity. It is a water sign, so Cancerian people are emotionally intense and deeper than they appear on the surface, while quite sensitive and understanding once you get through that tough exterior.
The Sun, ruler of our inner nature, is somewhat dimmed in Cancer, the home of the Moon. Creative and romantic, with a strong love of home, family and tradition, you are a good communicator and a strong provider. Your deep sensitivity presents you with valuable and illuminating intuitions, especially regarding those you care for.
Powerful Intuition
Paradoxically combining a love of travel with a deep need for security, you surround yourself with sentimental objects from the past, including souvenirs, hand-me-downs and keepsakes. Cancerians are remarkably good at accumulating things; indeed, you can be unwilling to throw anything out, even relationships that have passed their use-by date.
Cancer is also good with money and generally takes a long-term view. The main thing to remember is not to let the powerful, turbulent emotions of the moment crowd out your normally rational judgement. Your intuitions are reliable and should be trusted; you may even have natural psychic powers, which may be developed, given the right circumstances.
Hard Shell
The emblem for Cancer is the Crab, a creature with a very hard shell which protects a soft interior. The crab walks sideways, which is how the Cancerian skirts around a problem until forced to take it on with gritty determination and a creative flair. The crab's large claws hang on to its possessions for dear life, just as the Cancerian collects things to beautify the environment and bravely defends the home turf.
Cancerians make good business people, combining artistry, originality and drive with an understanding of financial matters, marketing and the needs of the public. You can trust your intuitions, but you do need to generate a faith in yourself which will not be dampened by gloom or depression over what, in retrospect, may appear to be relatively insignificant problems. You have the natural ability to be diplomatic and to speak out when necessary or keep your mouth shut. Home and family ties will be significant in your life and developing a secure, comfortable home environment will be a boon to your state of mind, irrespective of your marital state.
Emotional Release Physical fitness or sports activities can become important ways for you to work out emotional stress. Team sports are fun, for you can adopt team members as part of an extended family. Swimming, fishing, sailing and other water activities attract you, along with skiing, ice skating, and mountain climbing. Cancerians are creative. Even those among you who may not have any particular talent can use some involvement with art, music, or writing as another method of emotional release, rather than indulging in eating binges or other destructive habits. Living or spending time near the water is a relaxing, as well as creatively stimulating environment for Cancerians.
Cancer rules the stomach, diaphragm, upper liver and breasts. People with Cancer active in their charts are subject to coughs, indigestion, gas, gallstones, general problems with stomach, liver and intestines, plus emotional disorders such as depression, hypochondria and hysteria.
Ideal colours for the Crab are white, silver, and pale yellow. Cancer rules metallic silver, while both the ruby and the pearl are the traditional Cancerian birthstones. Silver reflects its environment in its shiny polished surface, yet it can tarnish and become dull unless properly cared for. In the same way, your sensitive nature reflects the people and circumstances surrounding you. The precious ruby, a variety of corundum, is one of the hardest minerals known, while the pearl is soft and easily scratched. Here we have the two contrasting sides of the Cancerian personality: hard and determined, yet simultaneously soft and vulnerable. Cancerian flowers are the water lily (lotus), iris, white poppy, white carnation and southern magnolia.
