Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac: a water sign associated with the Moon, from about June 21 to July 22. This page is a sun-sign magazine hub — traits, love, work, and friendship as entertainment, not a natal chart or a verdict on anyone’s life.

Cancer traits

Cancer energy is protection. The crab would rather keep a home, a family, and a mood than rush a public fight. That care can look like loyalty, or like withdrawal. For more depth, read Cancer personality and Cancer qualities. Cancer sits with Scorpio and Pisces as a water sign.

Cancer in love

In romance, Cancer usually wants safety, memory, and someone who stays. Moods can move the room before words do. Start with Cancer in love, then Cancer woman or Cancer man traits if you want those portraits on their own.

Cancer at work

At work, Cancer often wants a small circle where they are needed, not a nameless desk. They would rather tend a team than elbow for a title. Cancer as a boss or coworker covers that side.

Cancer friendship and family

Friends get caretaking and a long memory. Family is usually the first map. See Cancer friendship, plus Cancer parents and Cancer child when that is the actual question.
