Cancer horoscope

22 June and the 22 July

The fourth sign of the Zodiac, Cancer is the sign of the crab. Prone to sudden changes in mood, Cancerians can go from an easy going and patient person one minute to completely irritable, unreasonable and downright awkward the next. Let's just say unpredictability is a common feature.

Appropriately for Cancer, they are great at hiding in their shells sometimes, yet can be very sympathetic and affectionate to others. Deep down they are emotional and sensitive they just need lots of attention. Win a Cancerians trust and anything others say about will go largely unheard.

Personal traits

As the Star Sign of Cancer, you are known for being placid one minute and animated the next - they need attention and love and in return you will get loyalty. Cancerians seek out relationships as they know they are happiest when in love and with a long term partner. Their persona is not always apparent to outsiders and as their manner is not a direct one, it sometimes confuses. Cancerians are usually very intuitive and this is why they are difficult to outwit - they see the changes in people's behaviour easily and are able to tune into people's ulterior motives as a consequence.

So although Cancerians may be sensitive and unpredictable and seem hard to crack through their exterior, they are very intune with others and offer undying support and loyalty once you have won their trust - perfect!

Personal relationships :

As discussed they have a hard as nails exterior persona, and Cancerians mentally are a blend of toughness and softness with a romantic air with the right partner. In love this manifests itself as undying loyalty to both their partner and their family. Both Cancerian men and women give much in love and do not expect in return.

Apart from their partners, Cancerians offer loyalty to their friends and will step through hoops to protect and support those in need that have won their trust. Often it may seem as though they are closing ranks against outside influences, however this is their way of protecting - erecting a barrier to outsiders.
