Dear friends, it is said that where there is life there is hope and our Cancer friends are the ones who never lose hope. They realise that it is hard to survive in this world but they do not back off. Instead they fight bravely and then wait patiently for the result.

Positive and negative traits
The animal associated with your sign is a crab. However, there is no legend that can tell us about the crab’s history. They are nocturnal water creatures that are well equipped with massive claws to defend themselves. Being a sea scavenger, the crabs help mankind by keeping our waters clean.

The Cancerians have plus points, but their most positive sign is their understanding nature. They are very loving, caring and sympathetic people and will never go out to hurt anyone. These people are really concerned about the world and will do anything to help those less fortunate than themselves. Cancerians are very honest, confident people, and respect humanitarian values. Their concentration level is much better than all the other zodiac signs.

The Cancerian is a person who loves to be at home. Among all the zodiac signs, Cancer is the most motherly. Even men born under this sign often have a maternal or caring quality about them. They love their family and are usually very loyal and faithful friends. To a Cancer mother, her kids come before herself and father Cancers are proud, protective and patient. Cancerians have a very good memory and can recall details and childhood memories that are safely stored in their brain even after years. In their personal relationships, they are mentally a mixture of toughness and softness.

As for the negative side, Cancerians seldom lose their confidence, but when they do it is hard for them to get it back. Some Cancerians are slightly lazy and don’t have much ambition. They are also known to cry at the drop of a hat. As they are not very out-going people, they find it difficult to stay outside their homes for too long. They need to be constantly reassured that they are loved and liked by everyone. Some Cancerians tend to be jealous of people with the same aims as them, and those who might have achieved more than him/her.

Health
Cancer governs the chest, breasts, elbows, stomach and digestion, womb and female reproductive organs. Cancerians are said to be liable to breast cancer and to suffer from pleurisy, dropsy, piles and varicose veins. The excitability mentioned above can lead to weak digestion, gastritis and other stomach illnesses, and there is a tendency to coughs and weakness of vision.

Relationships
In relationships, Cancer is the most nurturing sign in the zodiac. They always try to seek a secure nest. They are best involved with someone who understands their creativity and will accept them for what they are. Cancerians are protective and even possessive, but not dictatorial. They can become very jealous when they feel insecure. Though they present a hard shell to the outside world, inside they are very sensitive and caring by nature. As a lover, Cancers seek security and devotion, and therefore if someone betrays their trust, he/she will not be easily forgiven.

Compatibility
Cancer gels well with Scorpio, Pisces, and Virgo, but the best match is Taurus. Both have the tenacity to sink their claws into something, and will hang tight despite danger or threat. But in the end, one will give the other a waggle, both understanding they too have the same trait, and will go on again with their marital bliss. Although there may be times when they are in complete disagreement they will eventually recognise the futility of their arguments and reconcile.

Basic facts
The Moon is nearest to the Earth and governs the zodiac sign Cancer. The Moon controls the tide, blood rhythm and the movement of sap in trees and plants. Cancerians have a strange awareness about people, and are rich in sense feeling, emotion and imagination. They are often allured by darkness or mysticism.

Their lucky numbers are 2, 4, 13, 22, 31, and 40. Their lucky colours are pale blue, silver, pearl and white. Their lucky day is Monday and their lucky stones are emerald, cat's eye, pearl and moonstone.

Ideal jobs
Cancers are well suited to be doctors, pharmacists, teachers, nutritionists, and chefs — any position in which they feel useful.

Famous Cancerians
Some of the famous Cancerians are Henry VIII, Princess Diana, Mike Tyson, Julius Caesar, Nelson Mandela, Rembrandt, Alexander the Great and Marshall McLuhan.
