Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Cancer can be one of the most challenging zodiac signs to get to know. They are very emotional and sensitive, and care deeply about matters of the family and their home. Cancer is sympathetic and attached to people they keep close. Those born with their Sun in Cancer are very loyal and able to empathize with other people’s pain and suffering.

The sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don’t have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.

It has usually been said that the best time to hunt for a personality who is a cancer, is the time of the light of a silvery moon. The best  time to know the cancer personality is the night time, when they are all dressed up to hit the bed and get sunk in their vivid imagination, .i.e. the time when they are about to have the final take off in to their dreams.

Moon light give them an un-exceptionally beautiful aura and enhance their grace and poise. The various moods and the traits of a cancer ascendant are like a sea, which goes through lot of turbulences, when come under the influence of the moon’s effect thus that is what is reflected in their changing moods.

Cancerians remain the same person, throughout the different lows and highs. His personality can be very well determined, by studying or analyzing the pattern of the moon. So are the basic moods of a cancer personality, which are very well synchronized with the moon, which are more of like the tides of the ocean, which flow in and flow out.

But yes, you may first come across him when he’s laughing the “crazy lunar laugh.” It’s inescapably contagious, and is one of a sight that you should go for.

A Cancer man is conservative just enough to know that initiative is important, but often fails to show it before he feels safe to do so. His partners need to make the first move, but still doing it subtly to let him still feel like he is leading the way. This is a complex individual, very sensitive, shy and overly protective of his loved ones. When he prefers women, he will subconsciously search for the ideal wife and mother.

Cancer man is an emotional person, who loves to take care of other people. He wants to feel needed, and protective, receiving a lot of attention from his partner through kind words and subtle concerns and compliments to make his day. Although he can be moody, pessimistic and clingy, he is a creative and generous partner in search for someone to share a life with.

Friends – When it comes to friendships, Cancer representatives will gladly connect with new social contacts, but are extremely sensitive of people not approved by their closest surrounding. Filled with respect for people they communicate to easily, they see all contacts through their emotional prism rather than simple curiosity or status. Most of all they enjoy socializing at home, where intimate atmosphere can be made and deep understanding shared in circumstances under their control. Intuitive and compassionate, they are sometimes impossible to understand from an extremely rational point of view.

Family – Cancer is the sign of family and these individuals care about family bonds and their home more than any other sign of the zodiac. Deeply sentimental, they tend to diligently preserve family memories, keeping them intact for years. When their personal lives are fulfilled, they make wonderful, caring parents that seem to know how they children feel even when they are miles apart.

About the Cancer moon sign or Moon in the 4th House:

So many feelings! The moon is right at home in Cancer (or the 4th house), its “domicile” zodiac location. Sensitive, intuitive and family-oriented, you’re a natural caretaker. With the moon in this position, you’re here to nurture the ones you love, and at times, the ones you barely know at all. When imbalanced, you may take on other people’s troubles as your own. Creating self-care rituals—and sticking to them—will keep your love tanks full and resentment at bay.

A combination of immense charm and grace, a cancer woman never know actually, whether she is a gentle moon maiden or a soft loony bird.

In the rainy season, she is usually found to be sunk in her sorrows, but as soon as the moon rise, she is usually be observed to be spreading her charm, as the greatness of her highness.

When the sun rise back again, she will always be found charmed with her greatness. Watching her moves carefully is like, watching those old silent movies.

Little mad, slightly sad and superbly imaginative, here is the cancer woman, who has this great ability to save the shekels.

Don’t you ever dare to look under his mattress, until unless you marry her and give her the designation of your life partner, but beware of the matter of fact that a cancer woman can go on a sudden shopping spree, when she is badly injured or is upset. She finds her way of soothing her pain by splurging and shopping her favorite goodies.

When a job needs to get done, a Cancer will roll their sleeves up and finish it successfully. If they are left alone to work, they usually perform better than when surrounded by other people, loyal to their employer and focused on the task. They will have great careers as nurses, housekeepers, gardeners, politicians and decorators.

For Cancer representatives, security and money are of great importance and stand for the real reason they work as much as they do. They easily earn money and aren’t used to spending it all in one day. It is their goal to save, invest, and watch their investments grow daily. Resourceful and good at managing time and finances, this is a sign that is often in charge of all money in the household, keeping their partner or other family members under control.

Cancer is a very emotional sign, and feelings are the most important thing in their relationships. Gentle and caring, they will show their sensibility to the world without even thinking they might get hurt. For partners, they always choose a person who is able to understand them through non-verbal, silent contact, and a shared daily routine, and their affection won’t last long with superficial, flaky or unreliable partners. The lack of initiative these individuals suffer from won’t make it easy for them to build a sex life they wish for, if they don’t find a partner who is able to make them feel calm, protected, and free to express.

This is a dedicated sign, ready to make many unhealthy compromises only to keep their image of a family going, and could choose partners who are in a way selfish of abusive. Shared responsibility and a life together with their partner makes them feel secure and ready for the next step in life, no matter if it is a child, a new job, or simply a cleanup in the field of friendships and relationships that became obsolete or hurtful. In love with children, parenthood, marriage and traditional values, they can still be misguided by people they admire and trust into changing their honest approach to a modern one that doesn’t fit their true personality.
