MAIN Horoscopes & Astrology Cancer

The fourth sign of the zodiac, Cancer has historically been associated with the home and close-knit clans and family life.

But the number of personality types found within Cancer are the most wide-ranging of any found within the zodiac.

While Aries are typically full of energy, and Leo can generally be counted on to entertain, the Cancer type personality can vary from shy and withdrawn to boisterous and sociable.

Dig deeper beneath a Crab's shell, however, and you are apt to find common traits that lie hidden beneath - such as a basic conservative nature, a sympathetic demeanor, and a heartfelt wish to help those less fortunate.

Conversely, they can also appear to be overly sensitive and thin-skinned at times, even obstinate in their wish for quiet and privacy.

In fact, a secure home base is important to all Cancers, where they can crawl into their dens and find welcome and comfort as a respite from the workaday cares of the world.

In love, Cancers are generally very romantic and nurturing, and in business make excellent mentors. While some Cancers are know to have become dynamic business leaders, others find rewards in working behind the scenes in any kind of service industry.

Home furnishings, food prepartion or catering, education or public relations are just a few of the career paths in which they can excel.
