Personality by Horoscope

Cancer, the Sign of the Crab, is the cardinal Water Sign and the fourth Sign of the Western Zodiac, extending from June 21 to July 22. As such, it amplifies the characteristics common to all four Water Signs: dreaminess, intuition, emotion and the need for a safe retreat. A certain degree of spirituality is also present. Negative characteristics may include possessiveness, insularity, moodiness and selfishness, but these can be easily glossed over by the Cancerian arsenal of good traits.

Some of these are: tenacity, kindness, sensitivity, compassion and excellent memory retention skills. Cancer natives are very domestic and prefer to expend their energies in fortifying their home environment to their own satisfaction. They also prefer large families, so that they may have a roost to run.
