Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac. Yours is the sign of emotion, sensitivity and sympathy. The Cancer is the most sensitive of all the zodiac signs. This sign, more than any other, is also very domestic. 

Cancers are known for being very complex and often difficult to understand due to their mood swings. One minute they can be cranky and combative and the next they are the sweetest most caring individuals.

Cancers have a highly developed instinct for self-defense that protects them from their inner vulnerability and shyness. Like a Crab's shell, their personalities often project a tough exterior within which they can retreat to. When hurt, Cancers often withdraw and sulk. They have perfected this tactic. Cancers can be extremely stubborn and child-like and they do not usually give in until they get their way.

But underneath lies a softer side, a gentle, sensitive and emotional interior. Cancers are by nature caring and protective. Their maternal instincts lead them to form life-long bonds and not just with family members, but anyone they come to care about deeply. Their main drive in life is to establish domestic security for themselves and for those around them. Cancers desire wealth but only as a means to achieve this stability and to have money for a rainy day. They are very fond of the past and are very aware of their family lineage.

Their great sensitivity makes the Cancer almost impossible to deceive. They have their own way of doing things. Like a Crab's walk, their direction is often sideways and ambiguous, but they always seem to reach their goals. If they can learn to temper their moodiness, Cancers can guide themselves into positive directions. If one can learn to deal with their mood swings, they can be loyal and devoted allies at work or at play.

The Cancer tends to be moody, domestic, family oriented, sensitive and emotion
