CANCER (June 22 - July 22)

Cancerians belong to the fourth house of the Zodiac circle and can be sensitive, caring, nurturing and shrewd. Your ruling planet is the Moon. Cancerians are doers. They set out to accomplish things and, one way or another, they obtain their goals. Cancer is also the sign of fertility, and Cancerians have strong identification with family. They can also appear "mothering", as they tend to supply emotional nurturing to everyone who appears to be in need. Other descriptors could be Moody, Sensitive, Shy, Possessive, Family-oriented. They can often develop an interest in genealogy and history in general.

Silver, pearl white are Cancers lucky colours. Capricorn is their opposite sign and they are least compatible with Sagittarius and Aquarius. Cancerians are most compatible with Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer. People born in the sign of Cancer tend to react emotionally to everything they experience in life. Despite this, they are strong-willed and can usually express what they want, then find a way to get it. They can be controlling, manipulative, selfish, but also easily hurt. They wear their hearts on their sleeves. A benefit of this sensitivity is that their intuition can be remarkably accurate. Many Cancerians succeed in life because their genuine concern for the welfare of others inspires loyalty as well as cooperation.

Their bodies are prone to be affected by their emotions. When upset, they tend to use food as consolation, which can lead to problems with excess weight. Sporting activities tend to become an important part of Cancerian life, helping them work out their emotional stress. They are especially adaptable to team sports since they tend to view team members as part of their ‘family’. Favorite Cancerian sports are swimming, fishing, sailing and other water activities. Spending time near the water is beneficial for Cancerians, as it provides both a relaxing, as well as creatively stimulating environment for them.

Cancerians could do well in any careers that include matters to do with women - especially biological and sociological, the diagnosis and care of women and children, nursing counseling, in depth psychology, food shelter and clothing for survival, finance and commodities, fine arts, creative writing, human resources and personnel, politics and public affairs, real estate and housing, natural resources, the sea and fishing, the soil and land.
