'Let's get comfortable and have dinner in tonight!'

Cancer is emotional, and filters life through feeling. This is the quality of protection and tenderness, and shows a high degree of sensitivity. As the cardinal water sign of the zodiac, Cancer initiates emotion from the self and from others. Cancer can manipulate, and can also be passive-aggressive.

Symbolized by The Crab, Cancer can also be indirect and defensive. The most patriotic of the signs, Cancer will defend home and country, and has a soft spot for mothers. Sensitive, sympathetic and intuitive, Cancer is the quality of mothering, and is associated with the energy of the Moon. When carried to extreme, Cancer can be smothering, moody and suspicious. Where Cancer is found in your chart, there is receptivity and a need to be emotionally connected.
