Cancer is a Water sign with Moon as its ruling planet. Cancer believes in giving significance to the sense of feeling right and being in the right place, in life. This can be taken as the sign for being closer to home and relations. They struggle to achieve a sense of belonging with a belief that there is a place on earth, or a group of people, or a thing, which can make them feel at home or a part of the family.

While others try to ignore their past or forget it to move on, Cancerians strongly believe in giving significance to their family, their origins, hence enriching their present by idolizing their history.

Since the Cancerians feel a strong sense of belonging with the things that they hold on to, they are usually unwilling to let go of it easily or move on. They feel that those situations or people or things give them a sense of security, mentally and emotionally, but at times, it is essential to move on.

Sensitivity can be considered as the main trait with Cancerians, as they are completely dependent on the world, and every reliance gets along with it, a fear. Although they want to fly high with success, they also have the capacity to store in their hearts, the resentment and the anger for all the hardships they face in their way. Instead of leaning on to others for security, they should try to give protection to someone, as this may lead them to feeling in control, strong and in charge rather than being reliant and dependent always.

They also posses certain negative traits like being messy, petulant, conniving, or extremely temperamental. They can also suffer from low confidence level and can be easily pleased. They will have floating opinions which can make them change their opinions often and loyalties too, leading to instability in nature.

Cancerians feel immensely secure when surrounded by their family or relatives. And it is this homely nature that draws other signs to towards them. With their talent and aptitude, Cancerians can fit in easily into a wide range of occupations. As they are always interested in knowing what people are thinking, they can make good reporters, writers or can go into politics.

Due to their unstable nature, they may change their party associations frequently. Since they themselves love home and its environs, Cancerians can make brilliant chefs or can go into the line of hospitality.

Being sensitive, romance is in full bloom with them, and it is this romantic side to their nature, that can make them enjoy exploring new places or things, exciting discoveries like old stamp collections or expert in antiques items. They can also be happy being real estate brokers or gardeners.
