About Cancerians
They are deeply emotional and intuitive. The top concern for them is their family. People born under this sign are unduly sensitive and are more concerned with expressing emotions than getting involved in superficial conversations. They can be moody, drawing into the protective shell if things around them get too intense.

They appreciate art, literature, and especially drama, where the flow of action and feelings particularly excite them. They may themselves possess considerable literary and artistic bent of mind. Cancerians have a retentive memory, particularly for emotionally laden events which they can recall in detail for years afterward.

Cancerians are not easy to understand, for their moods often fluctuates from sweet to cranky. They can be untidy, sulky, devious, moody, and inclined to self-pity because of an inferiority complex. A typical Cancerian broods on insults. They also tend to change their opinions and, indeed, their occupations, and lack stability. Cancer people are apt to do the opposite from what they are advised to do.

Health
Cancer rules the stomach, diaphragm, peristalsis, the pancreas, gastric vein, upper lobes of the liver, thoracic duct, chymification, and the serum of the blood. The afflictions which may be classed under the sign of Cancer are dropsy, indigestion, and sclerosis. Cancer people are very fond of food and are usually hearty eaters.

Career
They can be good journalists, writers or politicians, though in this last capacity they are more likely to remain in the background rather than attain prominent positions of power.

Ideal Partner
Cancerians seek steady, stable and practical partners, and usually bond best with Scorpio and Capricorn.
