Cancer is the 4th sign of the zodiac is concerned with:
* receptivity, sensitivity, defence
* 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 harbour in which boats can take shelter from the dangers on the sea of life. Water finds its own level -- it settles. The metaphorical harbour is the way Cancer provides a safe and organized place for human activity, setting each ship in its allotted place.
Spiritual Goal
To learn how to take a balanced view of things.
The Cancerian Personality
These are the general personality traits found in people who are typical of Cancer. An unhappy or frustrated Cancer may display some of the not-so-attractive traits.
Positive:
* Tenacious
* Shrewd and intuitive
* Kind
* Compassionate
* Domesticated
* Good memory
* Helpful
* Caring
* Sensitive to need
* Protective
Negative:
* Possessive
* Too easily hurt
* Moody
* Crabby
* Matriarchal
* Holds on to insults
* Selfish
* Manipulative
* Introspective
* Overpowering
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 defence 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 humour can be quite crazy -- almost lunatic. Cancerian humour provides some of the best comedy in the world of entertainment, because it is always based on an accurate observation of human nature.

Cancerian Man As A Partner
He will want a partner who will nurture him and take care of all the domestic details, making sure he has a comfortable nest to return to after a day's work. In marriage or business, he will want others around him. If the marriage proves to be childless, adoption or fostering are likely. A business is itself seen as a family. He will not usually enjoy working freelance.
Cancerian Woman As A Partner
She will seek a partner as soon as she leaves the parental home -- someone who will luxuriate in her protective caring. She will devote herself completely to the partner, even taking subtle control of him or her. In business, she will be an excellent manager. A Cancerian woman will want a family, and if denied the joy of children will acquire a household full of animals instead. The Cancerian wife is never a dependent when it comes to earning money. She will take a job outside the home to enhance the family's financial security.
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 (Cancerian's have excellent memories themselves)
CANCER goes with Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus and Virgo.
Love & Blessings

I'm a cancer and had a boyfriend who is apparently also a cancer. i must say we have the most intense emotion of all the zodiac. generally cancer both men and women are romantic, sensitive, sweet, generous, creative and touches every aspect of human emotion. we love dearly and passionately. we make surprises every now and then.
we love to smile and laugh a lot, though we get so sad sometimes it wont show in our faces. we handle problems like a pro. cancer are very forgiving but never ever back fight a cancerian because we get even and the only thing you knew is that you were knock off your feet by surprise. we tend to be very friendly, and very easy to get along with. we are loyal and faithful to our friends. even in the toughest situation a cancerian will never leave you hanging. we RECIPROCATE all the GOOD things done to us hundred folds.
the down side of cancerian is that you cannot appease us if you mess up. if a cancerian is very angry you can nver predict what we can do, ill tell you youd be caught by dilemma.
we love adventures you'll never get bored.

Compatible with Taurus, Pisces, Scorpio, and Capricorn. They get their feelings hurt pretty easy (especially the males, actually) and can be a bit lazy. But they are extremely loving, nurturing, and loyal to the death. They are known as the best parents of the zodiac. They can tend to be chubby, as they love to eat, and aren't always that athletic. They are funny and whimsical and spiritual.
