The Cancer Horoscope Must Know Facts

Cancer’s zodiac cycle starts on June 21 and ends on July 22. Individuals born under the fourth astrological sign in the zodiac are known to be emotional and intuitive. But there’s a lot more you should know about this water sign.

Symbol: Crab

The cancer zodiac’s animal symbol is the crab. In fact, the word “cancer” means crab in Latin.

However, Cancer’s astrological glyph is a sideways 69. It looks similar to a woman’s breasts, representing womanhood. Two curved lines are interpreted as a mother’s protective arms.

The glyph also symbolizes harmony and balance with its visual liking to the yin yang.

Element: Water

Cancer completes the trio of water signs in the zodiac, along with Scorpio and Pisces.

Much like water not having its own shape or form, Cancerians are fluid and moldable. They are shaped by the relationships they build with the people surrounding them.

Ruling Planet: Moon

As a water sign being ruled by the moon, Cancerians are often moody. They experience emotions in waves, as the tides of the ocean are affected by the moon.

Sounds familiar?

It’s not rare to see individuals with the Cancer zodiac sign to sink into a depressive state one time and then appear jubilant the next.

Personality Traits

Emotional is most probably the most eminent personality trait of Cancerians. Yet this water sign has other domineering traits that most of their friends and family can attest to.

To mention a few:

Nurturing and Protective

Cancer is the epitome of motherhood. Both men and women Cancerians tend to be nurturing and protective because of their inherently strong parenting instincts.

Loyal

Cancerians tend to be shy around new people at first. But once they regard you as a friend, those crab pincers will hold tight and not let go.

Compassionate

Those born under the Cancer sign are jokingly dubbed as “psychic.” These individuals are blessed with understanding, kindness and up to a point, empathy.

Sensitive

Befitting the characteristics of its crab symbol, Cancerians may appear tough and rough on the outside but they are actually very soft on the inside.

Intuitive

Acting purely on intuition with successful results is one of a Cancerian’s notable specialties.

Conclusion

Cancer is the heart and the mother of all zodiac signs. People under this sign are tough yet soft, fierce yet gentle... the epitome of harmony.
