Characteristics of Cancer - Strengths and Weaknesses  

Date Duration: June 21st - June 22nd 

Symbol: Crab 

Element: Water 

Modality: Cardinal 

Planetary Ruler: Moon 

This zodiac sign is ruled by the Moon where the centre of our emotional balance and connections is found. When the Moon is in Cancer all the signs are affected. The sensation is often accompanied with a desire to find peace and security within your relationships. The Moon placement makes Cancers incredibly warm and empathetic individuals with the ability to sense when something is off. As a cardinal sign, Cancers are constantly moving on to new projects and ideas and want to feel secure and in control of their environments to proceed. This is also why Cancers tend to appear outgoing and can be very social. The dynamic aspect of their personality allows them to engage with various people and establish connections in the most unlikely of places. The symbol of Cancer is the Crab, with the sideways “69” being the representation of the claws. The main personality traits associated with this zodiac are femininity, moodiness, sensitivity, home building and creativity. Some of the less positive traits are secrecy, possessiveness and frequent mood shifts.
