Natives born under the cardinal water sign of Cancer the crab, ruled by the moon, are receptive, sensitive and emotional.
They are protective and nurturing in their nature and have a desire to care for others.
Cancer is the “mother” sign and often home and family are important to them. They respond to things through their fluctuating emotions and feelings rather than logic, gaining understanding in an intuitive manner.
Their sensitivity can make them hurt deeply and become touchy and moody until the emotional tide changes.
Cancerians can also be diplomatic, working well with many people. They may often enjoy being in occupations and roles such as caterer, mother, antique collector, nurse, mediator, homemaker or carer.
