Cancer Zodiac Sign Traits and Personality Characteristics in Astrology

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.

Gemini Sign Personality Traits, Tendencies and Characteristics in Zodiac Astrology

The zodiac sign of Gemini is a masculine sign, regardless of whether a man or woman. Gemini possesses tremendous intelligence and they love mental challenges, though they dislike the effort involved in learning. In relationships, Gemini males and females may smolder at first, but then tend to take things lightly. This may leave their partner confused about these conflicting traits and tendencies. Their emotional involvement tends to run deeper at the outset, but drops into neutral once the thrill of the chase is over. They are not generally considered reliable, though they are fun and witty conversationalists.
On the shadow side, Gemini is often not conscientious and, at their worst, can have deceptive personality traits. They are prone to childishness and don't handle complex emotions well. Gemini doesn't enjoy solitude for the most part, preferring the exchange and they do best with a lot of activity and variety.
Spiritually, they are artists, inventors and poets at heart. Gemini can be quite brilliant and thrive in diverse, creative, communicative environments.
Again, these tendencies may show themselves in men or women with Gemini moon or rising in their birth chart as well.

Taurus is a feminine sign and possess tremendous patience. In relationships, Taurus men and women care deeply for those they are close to.

When they don't feel secure or hold too steadfastly to beliefs, they can be obstinate, super conservative and self-righteous.

Characteristics and Traits of the Aries Zodiac Sign in Astrology

The sign of Aries is masculine and dynamic. In relationships and love, an Aries female or male tends to operate from a primeval instinct. This man or woman has a very high sex drive and is quite passionate. The essential Mars energy is creative and fertile, in keeping with the ancient views toward the god of war. Venus would often mingle with Mars!
Aries can be quite quick-tempered and headstrong though. They are often impatient, but have a responsible personality and genuinely caring traits. They are simply driven to action and creation in the material world. Of course, they do this from the front and are not very good followers, particularly when they do not feel authority is valid.
On the shadow side, Aries can trod on the feelings of others easily and may be promiscuous. They can be selfish and egotistical. Spiritually, Aries seeks to initiate and create in the material world. They can be quite intellectual, though often over-optimistic. Aries does best when moderation and planning are embraced. Aries men and women are blessed with many gifts which can lead to very impressive achievements, so long as they don't get in their own way by being foolhardy and creating unnecessary difficulties!
