Cancer sign: date, meaning, symbol, characteristics and more!

Those born under the Sun Sign of Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, are people who celebrate birthdays in the period from 06/21 to 07/21. In the southern hemisphere, this is a period marked by winter, with temperatures ranging from mild to low and providing the perfect climate for the main characteristic of Cancerians: Romanticism.

Signs have many details that interfere with the interpretation of each one of them, which influences the personality, attitudes and different characteristics, so it is not because you know a person of the same sign as yours that he will be just like you.

Therefore, in addition to your birthday, it is important to know the time you were born (it appears in your date of birth), if the year is a leap year, if there was daylight saving time, everything necessary to discover your Sun sign, moon sign, ascendant, descendant and much more.

Each sign has particularities that form the base characteristics of the people native to it. This information is essential to identify personality traits, attitudes and reactions to certain moments. Check out some of these points.


People moved by emotions, Cancerians and Cancerians are emotional and sensitive, with a sixth sense to the surface, they tend to sense bad intentions and negative energies whenever they are around.

They give themselves with everything they have to those who deserve it, but if they hurt them, they retreat into their den and fall headlong into melancholy. As everything has two sides, for its light, there is its darkness or its vengeful and spiteful side that emerges when seeing injustices.

Spontaneous, selfless and protective, they take care of those close to them, taking them under their wings. Considered one of the signs that most lavish love, if you are a friend or lover or relative of someone with Cancer, you can blindly trust him, because his word is Law and trust is untouchable.


The symbol that represents the sign of Cancer could not be any other. The crab represents the Cancerian personality very well: a person who can have a hard shell on the outside for fear of getting close to someone or even for excessive sorrows and disappointments suffered throughout life.

However, those who persist and manage to get past the crab’s shell have the pleasant surprise of discovering a cute, romantic and very special side of the Cancer man or woman.

Being ruled by emotions, Cancerians live in their eternal duality. He gives himself body and soul, but when he gets hurt, he hides in his hole and closes himself off from the world around him.

The analogy of the crab in the burrow also means the preference for homemade programs, in the safe corner of his house, where he is comfortable and without fears or apprehensions.


The first sign of the triad that makes up the water element (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), Cancer is governed by this force of Nature, delicate as a calm lake, providing security in a warm embrace that completely envelops you.

Or it is taken by rage, fury and becomes a brutal waterfall with fierce currents. This will depend on how he is treated. With the ruling planet being the Moon, it is impossible for Cancerians not to suffer from the variation of their emotions.

The Moon has its own light and illuminates everyone in front of it, the natives of Cancer seek to help all those they love, in a totally altruistic way, however, like the star, they have a dark side.

Cancer does not always manage to remain enlightened, which makes him melancholy and a little negative. Therefore, people of this sign need to be surrounded by individuals who always remind him that happiness is by his side and that he is not alone.


The color that represents this sign is intertwined with two characteristics: the transparency of the water and its relaxing sound bring us the purity and peace that we find in the color White.

The different nuances that we see on the Moon, planet ruling the sign, remind us of the colors Silver and Gray, with black also being a common choice to combine with these elements, forming the much-repeated duality.

Cheerful colors can be used by the natives of this sign, who often opt for pink (romanticism) or red (love). In the flowery field of the sign, we have the White Lily representing purity, and Jasmine, considered Queen of Flowers for having an essence that dominates during the night.

The stones that represent the crabs are: the amethyst that neutralizes negative emotions, the moonstone, linked to the ruling planet, and that awakens sensitivity and fertility. There are still others that make up this group such as Green Quartz, Emerald, Aventurine, Pearl, Amber, Fire Agate and Milky Quartz.

Let’s delve into the details of the Cancer man’s personality, bearing in mind his basic particularities. They are the characteristics that make up the inner “I” and the way your outer self is presented to the people around you. Check out the main aspects of those born on this date.


Very attached to the family, natives of the Cancer sign always end up looking for home programs or trips, the family nucleus is their safe haven. The family album with all the baby pictures is your playground.

Nostalgic beings usually dive into their memories in search of feeling again the feeling of happiness and security of that moment, like something frozen in time.

If the Cancer man considers you a true friend, then you are part of the family, he will move heaven and earth to help you, there is no better friend than that. He’s the one that if you call at 3 am asking for help he won’t even think twice.


With a giant heart that always fits one more, Cancer men and women are extremely protective, they cannot stand injustice, either with strangers or, even worse, if it is with an acquaintance. If it’s with someone in the family, then war is declared.

They are driven by loyalty, trust and justice. If a Cancer trusts you, he will never doubt it, this makes them extremely vulnerable, so be careful when you step on the ball with someone from this sign.

They take care of everyone who needs help, even without you asking, he will be with you if he realizes he needs it. You know that company while you’re hospitalized or that friend who goes out with you to help you on a blind date? This is the role of the Cancer sign person.


For every light, there is darkness. We know that not everything is flowers and crabs would be no different. Because they are governed by emotions and have the Moon as the ruling planet, their feelings are altered just as the tides change with the approach of the star.

They can wake up extremely happy and productive today and tomorrow be melancholic and sad. However, nothing puts Cancer natives in a position of dizzying happiness like love.

Indecisive and insecure in all aspects of their lives, these characteristics make them give 110% of themselves, compensating for something they don’t even need, but which is necessary for them.


Because he has always given himself so much, Cancer early on knows the bitter taste of life, becoming disappointed with people, situations and injustices that go beyond his reach. This develops a pessimism that, if not improved, could turn this little crab’s heart black.

If a friend betrays a person of this sign, it will take time to trust another. If something goes wrong in professional life, it will be hard to believe that your work will be recognized. For situations like this, he ends up pushing away wonderful companies or missing out on opportunities.


Beings very attached to the past, Cancer people are nostalgic by nature and a little melancholic. As they move through the box of their most cherished memories, this feeling fills them with a happy feeling, as they are memories of people who love them.

They have a sixth sense that is well known in the astrological environment, because they have this connection with emotions so deep, they tend to always perceive negative energies or bad intentions around them.

They help everyone and do not expect financial or material rewards, what Cancer wants is affection, love and gratitude, but do not abuse their goodwill, believing that they are easily deceived people.

Cancerians can be spiteful and vindictive as much as they are kind and altruistic. Beware, as you may even lose your friendship forever and get back what you may have done in kind.


The main characteristic of Cancer is Romanticism. Incurable and committed romantics, Cancer natives even leave the melancholy state when they meet someone who makes their heart beat faster.

This sign does not know how to be a middle ground, either they enter the relationship or nothing. They love romantic comedies, the ones that make you cry with a happy ending and everyone declaring themselves with true love, that’s why they are so romantic. If a Cancer is in love with you, he will move mountains for his affection.

Intense and don’t mince words, they can say that they love you because they are feeling that passion, which can scare some people. A Cancer man has his life planned, the wedding, the honeymoon and the entire family trajectory until they get old, this in a week of passion and involvement. Intense.


In the professional environment, the Cancer man is an ambitious being. He stands out in his career for giving all of himself in pursuit of the goal he wants. He will do anything to get where he wants to go, but he won’t do injustice or walk over people to get what he envisions.

Being sensitive, he usually opts for the arts. However, those who are part of this sign have a manipulative profile, which emerges from their being so naturally that they don’t even notice it.

They like to create connections because they are expansive, they seek new friendships and get to know individuals in depth and, with this material in hand, the manipulative side emerges and imagines what it can achieve.

There’s this duality of emotions. Because they are very familiar, they are always looking for financial stability to form their happy family. Because of this, they are incredible workers and, if they are not careful, they can become too immersed in their work and forget about relationships.
