The Cancer Zodiac Sign in Astrology

Cancers are primarily deeply sensitive and emotional individuals. This sensitivity explains their shyness and susceptibility. All their life, Cancers want to avoid or defuse situations of tension or conflict. They flee quarrels and disputes like cats running away from water. They willingly accept to lose their dignity or money rather than displease others.

Feeling vulnerable, Cancers mobilize their energies to constantly take precautions. If they let their sensitivity control them, one could take advantage of them very easily. If Cancers feel the need to protect them from any adventure they judge too dangerous, they feel their decision is based upon a perfectly legitimate caution.

They cannot restrict themselves from having a very emotional view on their environment. Their feelings play an important role in life. But it is up to them to channel such feelings not to let them control their activities all the time. In these circumstances, the permanence of the Cancer emotions can be an asset but it can be a serious handicap for them too.

Deeply attached to childhood, Cancers have more difficulty than others to cut the umbilical cord and move on to the adults’ world. Cancers subconscious is entirely linked to early childhood. They regret their youth forever gone and try, through imagination, to recreate or build a world that looks like to paradise lost.

Cancers are incapable of evil. Praised or slandered, beaten or caressed, your reaction is almost always that grin that some might sometimes consider as a stupid smile. Cancers would not harm anyone so it is almost impossible for them to believe that unscrupulous people may harm them, finding themselves almost a consenting victim.

Cancers hate lies, duplicity, and desire to preserve their reputation for integrity and sincerity. Their tolerance is legendary. But they should beware of their innocence and excessive credulity. Indeed, they are very inclined to take for granted everything they are told, thus exposing themselves to many setbacks and disappointments.
