Important! If you have the Sun, Moon or Ascendant in Cancer, or if you have more than two planets in Cancer (especially Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars in Cancer) you may strongly share some of the Cancer qualities! (If you don't know how to check this, leave a comment or email me for a quick answer)

Cancer's strengths
Cancer is the NURTURER of the zodiac. If the Zodiac signs were a family, Cancer would be the sweet, protective mother who loves and treasures all the other zodiac signs.
A Cancer individual is motivated by the desire for deep, profound emotional connections. He is happy when he feels "at home" not only with his family and friends, but in his working environment as well. He treasures bonds with other people, because these bonds make him feel that he BELONGS, which contributes to his sense of safety and security. So if the working environment doesn't provide this sense of safety for a Cancer, and he is not fortunate enough to be surrounded by kind and supportive people, he will experience much sorrow, anxiety and insecurity within his working environment..
If you need someone to tell you kind and warm words, to support and encourage you and to listen to your deepest emotional needs, go find a Cancer person! (or someone who has strong Cancer placements in his horoscope!)
Cancer's weaknesses and core lessons
Cancers may have weak boundaries. They may believe that their partner's happiness depends on Cancer's efforts to meet this person's needs. Therefore, Cancers may become oversensitive, overprotective, mothering and suffocating. But this behavior is going to keep their partner away, because the partner will eventually start feeling controlled by Cancer. In conclusion, Cancers need to learn to respect the healthy freedom even in a couple, without being too protective and possessive. They also need to learn to honestly offer and receive love and support from other people, because these will make them feel safe and protected.
Cancer's best career
Having such a big and understanding heart, the best career for a Cancer involves working with people who need emotional support. They can be great counselors. They can also work with children as a kindergarten teacher, childhood educator or a nurse. Finally, because of their family-oriented disposition, they do well in home-related careers such as home design and decor, real estate or restaurant business.
Love with a Cancer
Family-oriented, loyal, gentle, compassionate, romantic and tender, Cancers make extraordinary lovers and life partners! They know how to listen, they do their best to understand you and they will fascinate you with their warmth, compassion and carefulness.
