The Cardinal Water Sign - Cancer

21st June - 22nd July

Cancer is a feminine, negative, cardinal, water sign.  The sign of Cancer is considered to be a fruitful sign, ruler of all things maternal and domestic.  The ruler of the sign of Cancer is the Moon, its detriment is Saturn, its exaltation is Jupiter,  and it's Fall Mars.  The symbol of the sign of Cancer is the crab, and once the giant claw has latched on the something, rarely lets go.  The movement of the crab tells us something about the movement or the way Cancer goes about things.  The crab walks side to side, never directly approaching something, and it carries their house on their backs.  Cancer can make any place a home or homey.  This also represents the shell that both protects them and gives them a place to retreat.  At times, they can be highly defensive and easily hurt by criticism.  Crabs are also territorial, and so are many Cancers.  Cancer is a receptive sign, and as such open to things.  They don't accept others easily into their inner circles.

The part of the body ruled by Cancer are the breasts, the chest, and stomach.  This represents their nurturing abilities, motherhood.  To carry bear and nurture life.  Cancer can easily get queasy stomachs when worried about money.  Security for their family and in their home is important to Cancer. 

The Cancer native is said to have strong managerial skills and is excellent in a crisis.  Many do well in banking and financial careers. They can easily see what needs to get done and as a cardinal Sun sign, jump right in to do it or rally others to get things done.  Just as their ruler, the Moon changes signs every 2-3 days, so do Cancer natives need likes and desires change.  Changes of scenery are beneficial to cancer Sun sign natives. 

Cancer natives have excellent memories, a love of details, and attract luxuries.  A capable Sun sign Cancer makes it a point to get what they want.  Typically called the Girl-scouts and boy scouts of the zodiac,  they are sweet, devoted, patriotic, loyal, and protective unless of course, life and early conditioning has jaded their sweet souls.©
