Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac, which the Sun enters at the beginning of Summer. Represented by a Crab in the sea, it is linked with depth of feeling, intuition, psychic receptivity, and self-protectiveness. In Cancer, the Angels rule over legacies, riches, and treasures, and enlighten the mind in holy things. The tarot card that signifies Cancer is The Chariot.

Understanding Cancer in the Zodiacal Year
Cancer is the Cardinal Water sign, symbolizing the primal ocean. It is technically a Feminine sign, and because it is ruled by the Moon, it has maternal aspects, favouring home-life. Luna, the Moon, is the ancient Roman goddess of motherhood and protection. Cancer is the only sign that the Moon rules.
Because of the Lunar rulership, Cancerian people are highly intuitive, introverted, health-conscious, and home-loving — but because Cancer is the Crab, they are also reclusive, and family-oriented. Their worst flaw may be hypochondria, which is generally the result of an exaggerated desire to see to their health and well-being and that of their family.
If You Are a Cancer
If you were born between June 22 and July 22, Cancer is your sign. You are a person who loves the home and can succeed in any job pertaining to people, including teaching, care-taking, and cooking. You must stay out of quarrels because they upset your sensitive psyche and may adversely affect your health as well.
Financial security and sweetness in the home should be attended to lest they negatively affect domestic tranquility. What happened to you in the past is over; what will happen from now on will be important to your future health and well-being. Don't trust those who are easily emotionally upset; find romance with someone who is as calm and home-loving as you. Mondays are your magic days.
The Cancer People in Your Life
The Crabs are of a questing nature, ever in search of new experiences. Wealth comes to them unexpectedly, and they are geniuses in many ways, with executive ability strongly marked. They make excellent counsellors, care-takers, and instructors, as they have a desire to be of help to others. They have charming personalities, are compassionate, emotional, talkative, brilliant, and witty; many are gifted with musical and dramatic talent. Their sensitive natures can become defensive, for their feelings are easily wounded through slights or criticism. Their deepest feelings are sometimes difficult to understand, hence marriage may prove elusive or unhappy.
