Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac. Cancer, a water sign, is symbolized by a crab. The ancient Egyptians, however, represented this sign with a scarab, a sacred beetle. Astrologers believe that the moon rules Cancer.
Astrologers regard people born under the sign of Cancer, from June 21 to July 22, as intuitive and artistic. Characteristics associated with the sign reflect its connection to the moon. Just as the moon has phases, those born under this sign are said to be changeable. They can be emotional, and their moods change quickly.
Cancerians may seem shy, but they are often hiding feelings that are easily hurt. Their sensitivity can make them successful in business because they are aware of people’s needs. Cancerians can seem selfish because they often prefer to dwell on their own dreams.
