The star sig
Cancer belongs to the element water, with its quality being cardinal and its charge being negative. The Sun enters the sign of Cancer around 22 June and exits around 22 July. Symbolically the written symbol of Cancer suggests arms circling the breasts, giving the idea of nourishment and motherhood.

Its Ruler is the moon, and Venus exalts in it. Its motto is: "I feel”. Cancer personalities often range from being brilliant, amicable and famous to apprehensive, bashful, and quiet. Cancer is very patient. Sometimes the Cancer individual will show a tough exterior but underneath all of that they are extremely sensitive.

If your sun sign is Cancer, you are an emotional being, engaging yourself in caring about others. We should note that Cancer feels all moods to the fullest, joy, sorrow, compassion, horror and sadness. The sun in the horoscope also represents your father (the mother is represented by the moon).

Family is important to Cancer. Often seen as having a keen sense of perception and observation and the ability to construct things in their imagination.

Cancer will always forgive, but has a good memory. You can easily read between the lines. It is hard to hide the truth from you because you can immediately sense what is going on behind the scenes. Cancerians love their homes and value their relationships a lot. In fact, these natives need to have a sense of security, to progress and succeed in life.

Cancer brings a caring, affectionate and protecting character to planets or Houses therein. One of the most appealing, and also challenging, aspects of loving a Cancer man is his keen sense to understand what you're feeling.
Cancer can love long and strong. While a Cancer may take some serious wooing on your part, once committed to a relationship, they can be counted to stay away from affairs and do their best to make things work.

The sign of Cancer also witnesses to the importance of roots, or origins, of considering the present in relation to the past. Many people feel they can ignore the past, yet feel something is lacking from their lives. Heartburn, gastric disorders and obesity are of major conce
to the Cancer personality.
Cancer is a giver and can be taken advantage of by those who are takers. Above all, Cancer lovers need to feel needed in a relationship. Not for them the airy detachment of an Aquarius or the intellectual companionship of a Gemini.

A cancer woman is a very passionate, emotional and sensual woman. In relationships, she takes a lot of time to open up and share her true feelings. These individuals may often be overtly pampered and their child like behavior may come across as immaturity.

If the sun is in the beginning of Cancer, you are very controlling and dominating, especially in an emotional way. As this sign is sensitive to the slightest rebuff, if you reject your lover’s overtures or refuse to share your feelings with them, they can take these things quite personally. Cancer individuals are, by and large, good looking, with a very pleasing personality. They usually have a round face, with a medium height. They crave safe and loving environments where they can be protected and protect others.

Cancers make wonderful spouses and parents, if you can get past their ever-changing moods. Famous people with their star sign as Cancer include: Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Kris Kristofferson, Ginger Rogers, Carly Simon, Donald Sutherland, Sylvester Stallone, Mike Tyson, Ernest Hemingway
