With your highly intuitive nature, love of home and family, and wonderful sense of humor, Cancer the Crab is lunar ruled and the fourth sign of the zodiac. Those born under this sign have their birthdays between June 21st and July 22th, spanning the early part of summer and the warm months, best spent by the beach at the crab’s natural habitat. Cancerians are talented, Cardinal water signs, capable of using their amazing emotional makeup to do anything they put their minds to.
Famous Cancer guys and gals who’ve made an impact on their home and the world, too, have been Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, Tom Hanks, Princess Diana of Wales, Robin Williams, Kevin Hart, Sylvester Stallone, Elon Musk, Derek Jeter, and Chris Pratt.
Personality – “I Care About You,” the Cancer Motto
Cancer, you are one special sign, and you make an impact wherever you go. You have an emotional connection to other people that is immediately sensed by those who come into contact with you. You feel very deeply, and you’re able to translate that depth of feeling into showing others your emotions.
Cancer cares, and you care very much! You not only care for friends and family, but you’ll go out of your way to help others, either by making them laugh or providing for their basic needs. Since you are ruled by the Moon and a symbol of ancient mother archetypes, you show your maternal blessings to everyone. Cancer loves their home, family, and country. You honor the traditions of those who’ve gone before you, and you appreciate what your elders and grandparents have taught you as well.
Cancer, you are the one who’s there for your loved ones, and they appreciate that!
Motivation: Moon Light for Crabs
Cancers are motivated from within by their deep well of feeling for others. Their emotional inner landscape is textured with all of their experiences and their terrific, photographic memory. Cancer, you remember everything! You seek to bring those feelings to world, either through creative expression, your career, or just in the day to day stuff with those closest to you.
Since you’re ruled by the moon, you’re especially in tune to the waxing and waning of the earth’s closest satellite. You are definitely motivated by being near water and you experience that same tidal surge of emotions inside you. You want to help others, you are kind and altruistic, and you are a caring friend, too.
Interests: Express Yourself, Cancer
Everything you do, Cancer, comes from the heart and how you feel. Those interests that you take up in life in turn give back to you and feed your emotional self, so that you can fill up the inner ‘well’ and then give back to others.
This is why Cancers love to cook! Cooking nourishes not only the body, but good, comfort food based cooking nourishes the emotions, too. You feel love when you cook, and those partaking of your meals can feel it, too!
Speaking of home, Cancer loves anything to do with their home, like decorating, remodeling, organizing, and entertaining. You especially enjoy shopping for things for your home, and you like antiques and vintage things. For you, home is truly where the heart is, and that heart is yours.
Cancer also loves to express themselves through creative expression, especially photography, art, and certain kinds of writing. Photography really captures in an image how the Cancer feels about their subject. They like to express their feelings through painting as well, and you’ll surprise yourself with your poetry and journal writing.
Many Cancers have found an outlet for their emotions in sports. Since your symbol, the crab, has an outer shell, you like to have that same protective layer of muscles to shelter your inner softie feelings. From boxing to weight-lifting to baseball and other sports, famous Cancers have enjoyed crafting and honing their physiques.
Cancers do like to nurture, so your interests often include helping those less fortunate. Many Cancers volunteer at children’s hospitals, animal shelters, soup kitchens, and for various nonprofit organizations, selflessly devoting their time to those who can’t take care of themselves. The thought of a baby or puppy going hungry spurs you on.
Behavior: Cancer the Beachy Crab
Cancers are very much homebodies, so you’re going to be happiest in your own cozy nest. Of course, you’ll love to venture out to head to the nearest beach, your preferred destination of choice, where you can sit on the sand and listen to the sound of the ocean tides. It’s like a siren call summoning you home. Many Cancers find peace and happiness working in marine fields so they can be near the ocean at all times.
Since your symbol is the crab, you can become a bit crabby! Cancers do not like to be forced or pushed into doing something they don’t want to do, so out come the claws! As much as you love people, you also need some alone time to recharge and retreat to the safety of home and your bed.
Cancers also are very emotional, so you may have some teary-eyed bouts when the moon is in its most waning phase. As long as you understand that maybe your emotions come more from imagined fears than reality, you’ll recover and be okay. Don’t forget to let your wonderful sense of humor bring you out of the blues, too. Cancer is one of the funniest signs!
Conclusion: the Crab’s Gift
Surrounded by friends, family, pets, and kids, Cancer is happy as a crab to just be with the people they love, living the simple and caring life. You extend your funny humor, emotional nature, and sense of nurturing love to everyone you meet. Cancer, you have a lot to teach us about how important it is to put family first. As long as you channel your deep and complex emotional nature outward, you’ll give us the rare gift of yourself – and that’s the best gift you can give, indeed.
