Cancer is a water sign, and this sign represents and resonates with emotions, intuition, and the subconscious mind. In Greek mythology, Cancer deals with the giant crab that supported Hercules in his battle against Hydra. Hera then lifted the crab to the skies for its sacrifice and turned it into the constellation of Cancer.
Cancer has since then become a sign representing protection, nourishment, and emotional strength.
Cancer individuals derive their deep emotional intuition, loyalty, and caring from the bottom of their hearts. They are intrinsically empathetic and, for that matter, the nurturers of the zodiac. Some of the following describe Cancer individuals best:
Sensitive by nature: Cancer is recorded as a sign that has emotion-touched tender sensitivity. They are responsive to their feelings and everybody else’s; thus, they could be that soothing comfort one would like to have in life.
Loyal and protective: Cancer natives are super loyal to their loved ones. They take good care of them, are utterly devoted, and will do all but everything to make sure they are all right.
Nurturing nature: In so many ways, Cancer is the “mother” of the zodiac and is naturally caring. They just love taking care of others and making a safe, warm environment for those close to them.
Intuitive: Cancer has very strong intuition; they mostly do everything relying on their gut feeling. They can tell all emotional fluctuations and situations vaster than they appear to be. That makes them very perceptive.
In relationships, Cancer is deeply caring and affectionate. They seek a relationship for emotional security and commitment for a lifetime. Cancer people love taking care and nurturing their loved ones, due to which they really get possessive and protective when it comes to relationships.
They feel contented and satisfied if they are secure, loved, and needed. On the other side, they also need a partner who understands their emotional needs and gives them the required reassurance and stability.
Cancer flourishes in those careers that enable them to draw upon their natural ability to look after others, and upon their high degree of emotional intelligence. They do especially well in jobs that offer scope for them to help anyone in nurturing needs: healthcare, counseling, and similar vocations will work out well for them, as would artistic fields. Cancer people also like to work in an environment that is secure and emotionally gratifying.
Cancer is most compatible with fellow water signs like Scorpio and Pisces, who intuitively understand Cancer’s emotional nature. Earth signs like Taurus and Virgo also offer the kind of stability and security that Cancer needs from others.
Cancer individuals are the protectors and nurturers of the zodiac, emotionally guided and intuitively led. If you’re a Cancer, make sure to love that you truly care and can understand others on a deeper emotional level.
