Cancer is a feminine water sign ruled by the Moon, Cancer is sensitive, kindly and gentle. They are regular homebodies, the mothers and fathers of the zodiac. They like to stick around home as much as possible rather than travel. Cancers prefer to own their own homes and some property, rather than pay rent.

They love food, cooking and making big family dinners, and are prone to weight problems. Most Cancers are a little on the plump side. They are devoted to their children, like the proverbial mother hen, and are loving caregivers. If they have no children then they probably have pets or nieces/nephews that get lots of attention.

Cancers are moody and tend to brood or worry too much. They have a great sense of humor but suffer from depression. Cancer men can be quite cranky and difficult. Their wives just have to be patient and ride it out. Give them sympathy and “Aw, poor baby” stuff. The women usually keep to themselves, when they feel down, or cook a big dinner to snap out of it. Cooking is great therapy for Cancers.

Cancers are good at saving money and at times hold on to it too tightly. They are sentimental and save every letter and souvenir. They are old-fashioned with traditional values. They are smart businessmen/women who make shrewd decisions. Many of the Rockefellers were born under Cancer. Like a crab they move sideways or backwards, keeping their adversaries confused as to their intentions.
