Characteristics of Cancer Zodiac Sign

By Michelle Stein 1 Comment

Zodiac Sign Cancer The Crab

The personality traits of Cancer are useful to know in understanding those born under this zodiac sign. Adaptable, loyal, and caring are just a few of the main characteristics of Cancer that make them very kind people.

Born between June 20th and July 20th, their sign symbol is the crab and they are a water element. Being a water element makes them more emotional than other signs, which can sometimes result in unexplained moodiness. However, even though they are very emotional, they do not tend to share these emotions with others – it is often that it seems like they hide it all behind their shell.

Tough Shell to Hide Behind

Like a crab, they tend to have a tough shell to hide behind and use it as shelter against most things. They can sometimes seem difficult to get to know well, and often times may seem introverted. Usually though, it is more common for them to use comedy or humor as a mask to what really lies beneath.

Witty and Entertaining

They can be very witty and entertaining if the mood strikes them right. Although they will do what they can to protect their emotions, it is easy to sometimes upset them, especially if you are a sign who does not have the same level of sensitivity as them. Their feelings can easily be hurt, though they may not always show it.




Sharp Memory

Cancers are the type who will remember the past, even details which seem trivial or mundane. They are excellent students and scholars, and tend to be even a bit of a history buff as well. This trait is sometimes helpful, but it can also be emotionally difficult, since they will not let go of past bad memories easily.

Flexible Moods

When the Cancer is surrounded by happiness and positive people, they will be happy and positive and in a good mood. However, if they are around those which are negative or pessimistic, it is easy for them to also fall into that type of mood instead.

Imaginative and Creative

Cancers can also be wildly imaginative and creative at times. They are not afraid to dream of big things. They are very cautious and not big risk takers, but when they are ready to do something, they will – and often meet it with great success.

Family Values

Cancers place a very important value on family and loved ones, and so it will often seem as if he or she is constantly with their relatives. This can be a good thing for them as long as there are no major family struggles or difficulties. When the Cancer is in a happy and optimistic environment, he or she will be at his or her best. If troubles or problems exist, it can be difficult to get the Crab back out of its shell.

Cancer Sign in Relationships

In relationships, they are very caring and loyal and are good mates to choose if you are looking to settle down and start a family. Because they are cautious and careful, you will not have to worry about much risk with them, though to some this may seem boring. Their emphasis on the importance of family can also help make them ideal partners if you want to have children.
