Cancer: here are all the characteristics and mysteries of this zodiac sign

Delicate, sentimental, attractive and reserved. But also determined, insecure and stubborn. A Cancer is made up of contradictions and does not make itself known immediately ...

The things that make him happy? Few but good: the warmth of home, a book of poems, the affection of loved ones. He would say a sweetie ... were it not for the Moon which makes him unstable and capricious. Beware of how you move and the words that tell if there is a Cancer around!
But in the meantime, look at the main characteristics of your sign ...

The character of Cancer

Among the zodiac signs of water, for Cancer the family is primordial. And it will be difficult for him to detach himself from his mother. Docile, rather shy, affectionate and reserved, at certain moments his behavior will seem childish. Of a suggestible nature, this dreamer has a sensitivity, a highly developed "intuition and" imagination. Little gifted for science, he is a great romantic, attracted to travel, but paradoxically very homely. Helpful, understanding and spontaneous, yet his mood swings are sometimes disconcerting.
Then the Cancer will take refuge in its shell thinking about the past rather than the present. For Cancer a lot will depend on the relationship with the mother. If the image is good, Cancer will feel safe. But if relationships are tense, they will become capricious ...
Cancer defends their spaces, aware of the many dangers of the world. For this reason he is very attached to family and home. He knows that by creating a solid protective sphere, he will be able to face unexpected events effectively.
However, there are differences between the Cancer man and the woman. The man will want to be supported by his partner. The Cancer woman will instead feel the need to protect her man. Always between reality and fantasy, Cancer, while struggling to detaching himself from his family, he will want to found his own family. The professional destiny of Cancer is greatly influenced by his family condition. All trades related to water and professions in contact with the public will be favored. Thanks to his imagination, Cancer can also devote himself to writing.

The profession

Cancer does not like to command, but a good manager can also, because he knows how to choose the right people, thanks to his ineffable intuition , and direct them without replacing them.

    The symbolic image of Cancer

    In the symbol of Cancer the claws are always placed in the foreground, an element of protection and safety, but also a symbol of the female breast and the womb. In mythology, the crab pinches the foot of Hercules with its claws, while this fights against the Hydra of Lerna. Hercules crushes it, causing it to die, but the goddess Hera rewards him for his sacrifice by making him the symbol of the fourth constellation of the zodiac.
    Cancer has a particular relationship with water, it is a crab, it hides under a thick armor that protects it from external aggressions. By analogy, Cancers are beings immersed in vague sensations, they possess great sensitivity and a good dose of susceptibility. But we must not be deceived, they are not as fragile as they want to believe: they have strong claws, they are obstinate and stubborn beings.
