The astrological sign Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac. Considered one of the most sensitive and emotional signs, it is often saddled with many prejudices and reproaches. However, it is a very interesting sign and full of qualities that it would be a shame not to notice and highlight. In this article, we summarize the characteristics of Cancer people!
Cancer zodiac sign ID card
Cancer people are born between June 22 and July 22. They are part of the water element, which symbolizes emotions, intuition, the unconscious and sensitivity. Cancer natives are often empaths who feel what others cannot see. Water sign people tend to be more dreamy, in their heads, unlike earth signs, who are very pragmatic, concrete and realistic. The zodiac sign Cancer is linked to the Moon which is the center of the unconscious, feelings and emotions. The color that best represents this water sign is white which represents purity, simplicity, innocence, peace and wisdom.
Characteristics of the astrological sign Cancer
Cancer sign people are often sensitive, intuitive and need stability and security in their lives. If they sense the slightest danger, they will tend to withdraw into their shell. Cancer natives are also big dreamers, in their own bubble and very affectionate. Appearing fragile and a little naive, they are people who protect themselves a lot behind their shell, hence the crab which represents their sign.
Cancer and its relationship with others
Family is very important to Cancers. It is their hard core, the pearl of their eyes. This is why they do not hesitate to protect it at all costs, sometimes to the point of becoming too suffocating. For natives, the family represents security, their cocoon, their life. Moreover, they generally really like children who represent innocence and carefreeness. They allow them to forget the worries of adult life! Cancers are often very loving and devoted people to their loved ones.
In friendship, the Cancer zodiac sign does not hesitate to tell you things, to be frank and honest, even if you don't like it. When he has a bad feeling about a person or a situation, he tells you, not to hurt you, but to protect you with his intuition. Cancer people are very good friends who you can count on and who are always there for you, no matter the situation!
On the sentimental side, the very romantic Cancer native needs to feel loved. Safety is also very important to him. Moreover, if he feels threatened and lacks confidence, he will protect himself with his shell and will not reveal his whole personality to his partner. This can lead to somewhat complicated or even chaotic relationships. However, if he manages to stabilize his emotions and fears, he can reveal himself completely and show an affectionate, devoted and faithful side to his partner.
Cancer’s relationship to work and money
The Cancer sign is very hardworking and involved in what they do. He also likes to push himself to his limits to be able to achieve challenges which give him a lot of motivation on a daily basis. However, his sensitive and emotional side can lead to anxiety which often prevents him from accessing privileged positions as boss or manager. The Cancer native would indeed feel incapable of managing employees. He also tends to value relationships and emotions at work. He therefore wants all working conditions to take place in good harmony and good humor to be at peace and reassured.
When it comes to money, Cancer is farsighted and is very careful. He sees it as security so that he and his entire family will not be in need. He is therefore not very materialistic since money is above all a way for him to ensure that his loved ones live comfortably and happily.
