Cancer Zodiac Sign – Characteristics and much more! – Map of My Heaven

The Cancer sign is the most emotional in the Zodiac, and its natives are reliable and attentive people.

However, Cancerians’ personality also hides aspects that many people don’t consider!

Find out everything about them: what Cancer is like in love, its characteristics, its main elements and what the history of the constellation is.

Cancer Personality

Natives of this sign belong to the Water element. Thus, at the same time as the source of our life, it is also fluid and uncertain – just like human emotions. Therefore, those who have Water as their base tend to have wide variations in feelings.

So it is with Cancerians, who are known for being dramatic or even a little grumpy. In fact, these Cancer characteristics are a reflection of the more intense emotional side.

At the same time, this nuance makes them very dedicated and concerned about others. Check out other items about the Cancer personality:

Cancerians tend to get attached to others and are also quite worried. However, there is also a more complex side of the sign, which fights to get what it wants at all costs and can become resentful when its efforts are not reciprocated.

They can also be quite resistant to change, a behavior similar to the Taurus sign.

Therefore, they tend to be quite exaggerated in some situations, which can irritate more rational or practical people.

However, there is no one in the Zodiac who cares more for those they love! See the personality of the signs to understand how each one behaves!

Cancer is from what month?

Generally, those under the sign of Cancer are born between June 21st and July 22nd – depending on when the Sun enters the sign’s zodiac zone!

Therefore, these days may vary slightly, depending on the year and the positioning of the star. Check the dates of the signs to better understand the period of each one.

Cancer Ascendant

Those with Cancer ascendants tend to be very affectionate. In fact, the ascendant is the impression that people have of us, our external world.

It is likely, then, that they are people who appear more delicate, including in their physical appearance! Even shyness can draw attention to those who have this placement in the birth chart. Although they show their emotions intensely.

They don’t like to hurt others and avoid conflicts at all costs. They are certainly kind individuals who are distressed by other people’s problems.

Moon in Cancer

The Moon is closely related to our feelings and instincts. It is also the way we relate to the outside world and our circles – family or friendship, for example.

So, you can already know that this aspect is enhanced for those with the Cancer sign (naturally linked to emotions) in this position, right?

Those with the Moon in Cancer are able to capture and understand the feelings of others well, even if this may harm them. After all, they end up absorbing and accumulating worries that they cannot do anything about.

They have no difficulty demonstrating what they are feeling either, and because they are too emotional they can take impulsive or unmeasured actions.

On the other hand, they can become closed off, as they often harbor hurt feelings and feel very deeply. This would be a way to protect yourself and avoid dealing with negative reviews. What Cancerians, particularly, hate.

Which sign does Cancer match?

Ah, how romantic and dedicated Cancerians are! When they are in love, they move mountains to make the relationship work.

It matches the other cardinal Water signs (Scorpio and Pisces), who will understand the intensity of feelings that stimulate them and are equally passionate.

The Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) are also a good attempt at love synastry, as they bring more rationality and practicality to the relationship, balancing it.

Cancer sign in love

As we said, Cancerians are extremely friendly and will do anything for the person they love. However, they can sometimes be a little suspicious (especially at first), fearing disappointment.

When vulnerable, they almost have a “maternal instinct” with their partners, making sure they are happy and satisfied.

Cancerians in love need reciprocity: they will demand acceptance in exchange for their effort and loyalty. Sometimes they can be too cunning or needy, but the truth is that they need attention and to feel that they are loved.

Like the other Water signs, they are naturally cautious. So, it takes flexibility and persistence to overcome the “shell” of the crab and discover the immense affection that a native of this sign can keep within themselves.

Cancer Symbol

The Cancer symbol represents the crab’s legs and its symbolism is completely linked to the history of its constellation.

Cancer Constellation

The story of the constellation Cancer is about one of Hercules’ labors and the jealousy of the goddess Hera, wife of Zeus.

Since the hero is the result of one of the many loves of the god of all gods with a mortal, she creates several monsters and makes them face them.

One of them is the Hydra of Lerna, an aberration with the body of a dragon and several serpent heads. Hercules seems to succeed in yet another challenge, and then the goddess sends a huge crab to distract him. The hero steps on the animal and ends up tearing it apart.

Depending on the animal’s efforts, Hera sends it to other constellations, forming the constellation of Cancer.

In ancient times, the Greeks saw the animal’s paws among the stars, making their symbol this landmark.
