Positive Cancer Traits
Cancers are loving, sensitive and emotional people. Other signs flock to Cancer due to their patience and maternal qualities. They are also extremely romantic creatures who thrive in social situations.
Negative Cancer Traits
Despite being extremely loving, Cancers can be very moody. Their sharp memory gives them the ability to remember even the smallest injustice and retain anger over the way they were treated. As a result, Cancers can be stuck in the past, hold grudges and worry about potential disputes. Cancers also cling jealously to loved ones due to their dependent nature.
Cancer Compatibility
Cancer is a water sign, which is associated with art and emotion. They are not compatible with fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), which make them boil or air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), which make them evaporate. They are most compatible with earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), which help shape and channel Cancer's energy.
Cancer Reading
Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, can be characterized as extremely sensitive. People born under this sign tend to be very caring, but also dependent on others for their happiness. This dependence can be a hindrance because it breeds fear in Cancers who can grow to resent the difficulties of life and their dependent nature that makes it hard for them to deal with problems alone. Cancer would be well advised to learn to handle their own problems rather than depend on others so they can embrace the positive learning effects that come with facing hardships.
Still, because Cancer has a protective maternal streak, they will be most at ease within a family setting. It is this same maternal instinct that draws other signs to Cancer for comfort. Once Cancer realizes that it has this effect on others, it would be wise to put it to use to help others overcome adversity.
Cancers must also beware to not become too negative because this brings out their extreme crankiness. Another trait to avoid is the sense of entitlement that Cancers have. When Cancers do not get what they want, everyone (including family members) is subject to being written off. This is because Cancer often sees some of life's small inequities as grand conspiracies. People born under this zodiac sign would be well advised to thoroughly analyze negative situations before quitting jobs or dropping friends over potentially exaggerated offenses.
Not one to take orders, Cancer is also happiest when in charge. When it comes to love, Cancers are extremely sentimental and are incredibly romantic. In fact, Cancer is the most emotional of all signs. Still, this emotional nature means Cancer needs to learn to forgive and forget in order to move past small problems. If not, Cancers will stew in their anger and their loved ones will not be able to fully appreciate their loving nature. Cancers will have to identify their own personal feelings and drop their selfish tendencies to live a full life.
