Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac and associated with family and domesticity. People born under this sign have a kind, emotional, romantic, imaginative, sympathetic, nurturing, and intuitive character, but one which is also prone to hypersensitivity, moodiness,  changeability, clinginess and depression.



You have powerful emotional attachments to the past, your family, your childhood, and those places you associate with safety, security and your beginnings. Maintaining a connection with your roots and heritage and keeping family bonds strong are very important to you. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, you tend to cling to whatever is dear to you, be it person, familiar place, or cherished possession.



You are sympathetic, nurturing, supportive, and very sensitive to the emotional needs of other people. You like to be needed, to care for others, and you often worry about the people you love. You have a very strong need for a sense of belonging and acceptance, and you center much of your life around your home. You are more concerned about people and their feelings than with power, achievement, or position in society. Kindness, consideration, and tenderness impress you more than any sort of honor the world can bestow.
