Cancer - Sun Sign Astrology

Your sign is symbolized by the crab. Although the shell of this crustacean symbolizes self-protection and defensiveness, it is also the symbol for domestic ability to build a strong family unit. Cancer is patient and tenacious on the outside though vulnerable and sensitive inside. You are deeply patriotic with a keen sense for history. You need to know your roots . That is why you shine in matters of maternal and paternal love. Your need to protect is lavished onto your family , and when you feel safe there is no limit to the creative imagination within you. You can zigzag at times in a perfectionist frenzy , but once you have planned your work , you work your plan with relentless tenacity.

Cancer is ruled by the moon, thus you can be very sensitive and seemingly moody at times. Your feelings can often be too complex for others to understand, and so the tendency to withdraw often takes over. When you have been hurt, the resentment can be overwhelming and your unwillingness to compromise reigns. You are skilled at the art of passive resistance. That can make you very unapproachable at times. You can easily become immobile if pushed too hard. At these times you can draw strength from your unlimited inner resources. Go into your shell like the Crab and you will learn more, not only about yourself, but also of the world around you. Tap into your strength which defines you as an achiever in the world. You have a capacity for great understanding and love for others. Once you realize this, your true nature will emerge. You have the ability to dream and create your dreams. With a positive attitude anything is possible.
