Cancer

Sign of The Crab

Cancerians have often been likened to crabs because of the way they are 'soft and vulnerable' on the inside, yet have a very tough shell. It has also been suggested that, just as crabs scuttle sideways, so Cancerians prefer to take a subtle, indirect approach to their goals. The real link, however, is simpler. Crabs lives are governed by the tides which are ruled by the Moon. And you too are ruled by the Moon.

What makes a Cancerian tick?
On the whole, Cancers have an unassuming manner but, underneath, they're as sharp as stainless steel scissors! Their insight is instinctive rather than analytical but (particularly when it comes to people) they rarely miss a trick. This immaculate judgement of character is their greatest asset. Cancers have a powerful desire to nurture, cherish and protect. Naturally this makes them loyal and loving. They operate on heartfelt emotion which is why they are so often on the defensive. Like a crab, retreating into it's shell, Cancereans often protect themselves by shutting out anything that could be potentially hurtful or harmful. Their ruling planet is the Moon
