Cancer’s ruling planet is the moon, linked in astrology to nature, gestation, motherhood, and the creation and preservation of life. Perhaps more than any other sign, Cancer represents the passive, receptive, but profoundly powerful and encompassing female force in nature – the all-nourishing, or all-devouring, mother.

The Crab symbolizes the sea, cradle of all life.

Cancerians build boundaries, make homes, and gather things into incubation, protection, nurturance, and mothering. Cancerians are family centered, tradition bound, tied to the past, fearful of the future and of the unknown.They are as restless and moody as the shifting tides. They find the real world threatening, Astrologers say, and like to retreat into dreams and fantasies and to shelter themselves in the relative safety of the past.

The Cancerian woman gravitates toward traditional roles of wife and mother, seeking outlets for her strong maternal instincts and love of hearth and home. She is talented at creating a homey, protective atmosphere, a place of refuge – whether actually at home, or with her colleagues at work. A Cancerian is a good listener and is caring by nature, with a streak of possessiveness. Kind and sympathetic to the dilemma faced by others.

Cancerians are reliable, sincere, dedicated, responsible and determined, by nature. They are, by and large, good looking (OK I DID NOT INSERT THIS ) with a very pleasing personality. They usually have a round face, with a medium height. They love traveling around and can be successful in the field of writing and poetry. (I LIKE THAT PART) Such individuals can get philosophical at times.
