    I'm a cancer. We are sensitive, sometimes too much so. Cancers (like Leos) are very affectionate and like to receive lots of affection in return. Affection from our love partner helps to reassure us insecure cancers that we are loved. Once we've been with you for a while and are sure of your sincerity and loyaly, it wont ake as much affection to assure us.

    Most of time, we are funny. We've always got something funny to say. We love to work for money because we're always worried about not having enough money. We're very sexual and warm in nature. Most of our sex or love partners find us cancers very satisfying in bed. We are very loyal (and motherly) to our friends and tend to keep our friends for life. Cancers love "Home". On a Sunday, we can stay at home all day and be happy.

    When we're single, we can put on a front like we are comfortable with our independence and don't care about being attached. But underneath the surface, no cancer ever feels completely happy without a mate...None!

    We love fine cars too. While we like sporty cars, cancers have more of a taste for the large plush luxury cars, such Eldorado, BMW-7 series, and Lexus GS. We hate to arrive late for anything. We are almost always on time, and expect others to be on time as well. Our Bosses at work love us because we're on time and are depnedable.

    We're ususally good money managers too (well...most of the time). We're dominant, but we're not overbearing, too proud, too outspoken, too vain, or too arrogant. We make good marriage partners as long as you dont constantly say things to hurt our pride and our feelings.

    Once you've stepped on our toes too much, we can get quite feisty. That cancer person that you thought was so nice and easy-going, can get real evil. And when we've really had enough, we'll just clam up and wont talk to you period. Last of all, we can be moody; smiling one day and crabby the next (but this varies with each cancer).

    From the research I have done so far, it is about being caring, nurturing, sparkling personality, and a homebody. Some qualities are that cancers are never happy with what they have (which i find untrue). They like to concentrate on family and holding memories of the past near. They analyze people's actions from a far. Sometimes they are shy at first but will open up once comfortable in a situation.

    Although this is all the information I have learned you may interpret things differently than I did. So do some research. Also understand that defining the characteristics of a Zodiac sign is a broad description and may not be true to every Cancer.

    As a Cancer your positive traits are:

    Tenacious, Dependable, Abiding, Thrifty, Protective, Caring, Home-maker, Hospitable, Tender and responsive, Sympathetic, Psychically aware, Self-sacrificing, Subtly supportive, Kind and consoling, Emotionally encouraging, Adaptable, Childlike, Watchful, Enchanting

    And your negative traits are:

    Clinging, Dependent, Apathetic, Hoarding, Smothering, Possessively doting, Stay-at-home, Anti-social, Oversensitve, Self-pitying, Touchy, Self-deluding, Devious and indirect, Argumentative, Emotionally blackmailing, Moody, Childish, Over-cautious, Sickly Sentimental

    Basically, Cancer is a motherly sign. They're very nurturing and sensitive. They're emotional people, all water signs are. They're usually shy and quiet, they sometimes hide their sensitivity through shrewdness and sarcasm. I'm a Scorpio myself and Cancer is a great sign, Some of the sweetest women I've known were Cancers.

    Here is Cancer's compatibility with other signs:

    Best - (Scorpio, Pisces)

    Good - (Virgo, Taurus)

    So-so - (Cancer, Capricorn)

    Bad - (Libra, Gemini, Aquarius)

    Worst - (Leo, Sagittarius, Aries)

    Of course you can go with any sign. Just know that with less compatibility, you'll need to compromise and work harder at the relationship. Don't let astrology guide your choices in people. I hope I've helped you.

    you are ruled by the moon= 4 phases to you..ea.week you can be a different person. closest to full moon very moody..the rest of the time...you are mellow, great to be around.one of the nicer signs....esp. the guys...sexy to the max....but puzzling. stay away from drugs.will mess you up more than other signs. your 1 downfall, like the crab that is your sign, is that you cant make up your mind....the crab goes sideways.....back and forth....like you...follow your 1st gut instinct and do that. do not 2nd.guess yourself so much! it is just a waste of time. it is said that cancer people love to hide food in their bedrooms......not sure WHY?

    shy till you really know someone, then a good friend. get along great with leo females...

    Cancer Sign is all about Home, Family and Heritage

    sensitive, loves animals, plays the martyr A LOT, too emotional (for me that is), moody, mothers of the zodiac. You are compatible with other water signs (pisces and scorpio). Also goes with capricorn (earth and father of the zodiac) as it is the opposite sign (six signs away so half ways).

    More compatible with the other water signs, Pisces and Scorpio.

    Being a Cancer is the coolest thing ever because I'm a Cancer and we have the best summer birthdays, and it means we're laid back and mellow.. :)

    Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a kind, emotional, romantic, imaginative, sympathetic, nurturing, and intuitive character, but one which is also prone to changeability, moodiness, hypersensitivity, depression, and clinginess..
