What are the characteristics of Cancer?
Cancer is a water sign, a cardinal sign, ruled by the moon. The cardinal part of Cancer means that its proactive. Cancer wants to do something. What do they want to do? They want to do the water. They want to relate to you on an emotional level. We all know the moon has different phases. Cancer has different moods throughout the day, but during each part of the day, it wants to look after something. It wants to nurture something. Cancer is like the mother of whatever it does. It looks after it. It makes sure it’s all right. It looks forward to the ebbs and the flows. Cancer is associated with the fourth house. The fourth house is the bottom of the zodiac. In a way, you can argue that it’s what the emotional truth is. It’s what everybody knows. It’s what everybody’s instinct says is true, even if they don’t have the comprehension that was offered to it by Gemini beforehand, or even if they can’t demonstrate it, as shown by Leo, in the following sign.
