Cancer, the fourth Sign of the Zodiac, is all about home. Those born
under this Sign are 'roots' kinds of people and take great pleasure
in the comforts of home and family. Cancers are maternal, domestic
and love to nurture others. More than likely, their family will be
large, too -- the more, the merrier! Cancers will certainly be merry
if their home life is serene and harmonious. Traditions are upheld
with great zest in a Cancer's household, since these folks prize
family history and love communal activities. They also tend to be
patriotic, waving the flag whenever possible. A Cancer's good memory
is the basis for stories told around the dinner table, and don't be
surprised if these folks get emotional about things. Those born under
this Sign wear their heart on their sleeve, which is just fine by
them.

The mascot of Cancerians is the Crab, and much like this shelled
little critter, Cancerians are quick to retreat into their shells if
it suits their mood. No wonder these folks are called crabby! For
Cancer, it's not that big of a deal, though, since they consider this
'shell' a second home (and they do love home). The flip side of this
hiding is that shell-bound Crabs are often quite moody. Further, in
keeping with their difficulty in sharing their innermost feelings, it
can become a Herculean task to pry a Crab out of its secret hiding
place. What to do? Give the Crab time -- eventually these folks will
come out to play again. When they do, they'll be the first to say so,
in keeping with the Cardinal Quality attached to this Sign. It's said
that Crabs are first to laugh and first to cry, so you can bet
they'll fill you in. That shell, by the way, isn't the only tough
thing about Crabs. These folks are tenacious and strong-willed and
like to get their way. If their well-documented kindness and
gentleness doesn't do the trick, however, they're not above using
emotional manipulation to make things happen. If that still doesn't
work, they'll just go back to their shell and sulk, or find a way to
get back at the source of their pain, since Crabs can be rather
vindictive. That said, any self-respecting Crab would tell you that
they are ultimately motivated by protecting their home and loved
ones, a most noble goal.
