Cancer

Cancer is the fourth sign in the current set of Star Signs. As a Water Sign, people with this zodiac are sensitive and emotional, with their moods moving as fluidly as a river or body of water. It's branded to those born between June 21 to July 22. The crab is their celestial spirit animal, which symbolizes emotions, trust and the circle of life. It's ruling planet is the Moon, which, similar to the crab, governs the feelings and comforts of a Cancer. As a cardinal sign, this means Cancers lead with their hearts and use emotion to connect with others. When talking about colors, silver and metallic grays represent a connection with the moon for Cancers, and whites can define perfection, light, goodness and purity. Moonstones, pearls, emeralds and rubies act as their birthstones.

Personality and Traits
A Cancer is usually very sensitive to their environment, and can easily detect the energy in a room. They are normally very self-protective, and can easily be perceived as cold and distant. However, after getting to know a Cancer, they will begin to show their true gentle and kind nature. They are very caring and loving toward their friends and family, and quickly adapt a motherly-like caregiving role to people they hold dear. Their attentive nature sometimes is mistaken for a more controlling nature. Cancers attract friends and lovers through their loyalty, commitment, and emotional depth.

Cancers are also sensitive, quiet, protective, gentle, kind, loving, emotional, and attentive/caring.
