Cancer: Traits and Compatibility

The 4th sign of the Zodiac, Cancer is ruled by the moon and is a Water sign. People born between June 21 and July 22 are bearers of this sign and as such possess certain traits specific to it. So what are these traits and how do they make Cancerians stand out? This is what we are going to have a look at while also seeing how compatible Cancer is with other signs. And of course we will have a list of famous people born under the star of the crab towards the end. Let’s go –

GENERAL FEATURES

Cancerians are defined by their strong intuition and emotions. Caring, empathetic and loyal, they love helping others and are natural caregivers. Blessed with creativity and good imagination, they are generally found to be great at everything art related. Most of them are also good singers.
Though they are always ready to go that extra mile for others, they are mostly driven by their emotions and thus can be pessimistic and moody. They tend to avoid conflict and are content with their lot but once insecurity flares up, they can also be selfish and manipulative to a degree.
Being ruled by the element of water, they are just as gentle and deep and a force to reckon. Patient and nurturing, they can be over-protective at times but you will hardly find someone as generous and motherly as them. One thing to look out for is that they can be hypersensitive at times, so you need to give them a lot of affection and make sure to express yourself often in their presence.
They make good leaders since their nature allows them to keep up with almost everyone around them. They are called the heart of the zodiac because of how high their EQ is. If you have a Cancer as your friend, consider yourself lucky- you have all the support you might need right there. But make sure to show them appreciation too.

COMPATIBILITY

Romantic and loyal to the bone, Cancerians make great lovers. They put emotions first before anything else and thus are not afraid to shower their partner with eternal love and appreciation. As such, they need someone to make them feel secure and protected, someone who can calm them down on bad days.
They are considered to be most compatible with Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio and Pisces. Aries and Libra are least compatible with them while it can go either ways with Aquarius, Gemini, Leo and Capricorn. But often in real life, you will see Cancer-Aquarius couples maybe because they balance each other out perfectly.
That said, things like compatibility depends on dozens of factors and your sun sign is just one of them. In the end, what matters the most is how well you get along with someone individually. Your feelings are what matters the most.
