Core Characteristics

Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, is a Water sign ruled by the Moon. This combination creates a personality that is deeply emotional, intuitive, and tenaciously protective. Cancers are the nurturers of the zodiac, known for their immense capacity for empathy and their strong connection to home and family.

Like their symbol, the Crab, they may appear hard-shelled and cautious on the outside, but inside they are soft, sensitive, and vulnerable. Their moods can ebb and flow like the lunar tides, making them wonderfully complex and understanding friends and partners.
