Born between 06/21 and 07/22, Cancerians have a reputation for being the most emotional in the zodiac. However, this is not its only characteristic.
Cancerians belong to the fourth sign of the zodiac and are capable of sensitivity, nostalgia, intuition and feeling like no one else. One of the most emotional rulers of all, Cancer honors the title of the most romantic sign. However, Cancerians are not capable of living solely on romance and emotion. Even though feelings are responsible for pointing the way and putting projects into action, there is still much more to those ruled by the Moon than one imagines.
In general, it is possible to consider Cancerians as extremely patient, resilient, emotional, fun and maternal people. The unstable mood varies according to the phases of its ruler, the Moon. However, they remain as strong as the crab shell, symbol of the sign. Because love and affection define a large part of Cancerians’ reality, their maternal instinct is extremely strong. Thus, you may find it difficult to enter one’s life and not expect them to be cared for and protected like a child.
With a loose laugh, people under the sign of Cancer love to laugh, at everyone and even at themselves. Fun to be around, they have a pleasant and very sophisticated humor, depending on the situation. There is a lot about Cancerians that goes beyond their sentimental and considered dramatic facade. Check out everything you need to know about Cancerians below, as well as their personality, curiosities and other characteristics.
Personality of Cancerians
Characterizing Cancerians as emotional beings is no mistake. Because they are discreet and shy, they hardly prefer to be in the spotlight, adopting a more reserved appearance. However, having the Moon as ruler causes them to oscillate in the same way as the satellite and its phases. Thus, it is easy for them to go from kindness and affection to irritation and impatience in a few seconds. The sensitivity they usually feel helps with oscillation, but this also makes them intuitive. Maternal to the extreme, they love helping everyone around them.
Their reserved personality means they prefer to welcome friends and family at home for a special dinner or different drinks. In this sense, Cancerians tend to be very connected with the family aspect of their lives, as well as with their homes. They find satisfaction in protecting, nurturing and helping anyone. Because they love their family above all else, it is common for them to strive to ensure that everyone around them also receives their maternal instincts.
On the other hand, the Cancer sign can also be nostalgic. Cancerians love revisiting old memories and immersing themselves in treasure troves of memories, which can make them resentful or extremely attached to the past. Just like Scorpios, they like to hold on to hurts, from the smallest to the biggest. Furthermore, their intuition and constant affinity with the feelings of others makes them more attached than normal. Therefore, it can be difficult for Cancers to separate things and limit contact.
