Cancerians are generally gentle and kind people, unless they are hurt. These people need roots, a place or a state of mind that they can call their own. Imagination, sensitivity, and the nurturing instinct characterize this sign. Cancerians tend to be affectionate, passionate, and even possessive at times.

As parents, they may be overprotective. As spouses or significant others, they may smother their mates with love and good intentions.

Emotionally, Cancerians act and react in the same way the crab moves-sideways. they avoid confrontations and usually aren't comfortable in discussing what they feel.

Once a Cancer trusts you, however, he lets you in on his most private world.
