The sun sign of Cancer is feminine, as are all earth and water signs, giving them more than any other sign the passivity and receptivity characteristic of yang energy and the female nature, which gives life. Of course, everyone possesses both yin and yang energy, regardless of whether you are a man or woman. Cancer possesses a tremendous survival instinct. In fact, it is this instinct with drives action tendencies, for Cancer has cardinal quality. They will do what they must to protect their homes and their loved ones, and they treasure family. In relationships, Cancer may seem shy at first as they find their place and bearings, but they are very sweet and have unassuming characteristics. These men and women blend in after their initial withdrawal as people find something almost familiar about them. Like Taurus, they are very security oriented, male or female. They can be quite matter of fact and to the point, which may leave their partner hurt by their sometimes blunt personality traits. This is because they are soft but tough when they feel it is appropriate. They're practical and sentimental and can swing from darker moods to romantic fantasy. They are fiercely loyal men and women.
On the shadow side, Cancer can go to extremes in giving and not receive from others properly. They can be sulky or indulge in self pity, harboring imagined slights. They can lose sight of things and become caught up in causes or allegiances when they commit themselves too much.
Professionally, Cancer does well where they can use their ability to get inside people's heads, or where they can organize and "keep house" so to speak. They are diverse though, as they may manifest an artistic or creative personality or entrepreneurial streak. Spiritually, they have introspective and meditative characteristics and make good listeners.
These traits may appear in Cancer rising and those with Cancer moon in their natal chart as well.
