In this article, we take a look at the characteristics of Cancer. We are, of course, talking about Cancer the zodiac sign, not cancer the tragic health issue. 

The Zodiac is comprised of 12 Sun signs. The Cancer sign is considered the fourth of these. It covers any person born from June 21 through July 22. The sign is considered feminine and Cardinal. With this in mind, let’s get to the characteristics of the Cancer sign. 

The Cancer sign is indicative of warm, feeling person. Those born under the Cancer sign have nurturing as their dominant characteristic. They are consensus builders. The love families and are constantly building family groups at home, work and in the community. Their homes tend to be the one where all the kids in the neighborhood end up congregating. 

Those born under the Cancer zodiac are also known for their routines. If you are looking for ambitious, adventurous individuals, the Cancer person will disappoint. They are more about emotional ties in relationships than jaunting off to go sky diving. A Cancer is happy with their daily routine. They grow uncomfortable when taken out of it. For this reason, a Cancer will often prefer to relax at home instead of going on vacations on cruises or what have you. 

The Cancer makes a great mate in a relationship. Men are patient, loving fathers that will pay attention to their kids and adore their wife. Cancer wives are the classic mother who cooks for the kids and keeps a great, friend home that is warm. If you are looking to settle down, this is one form of Cancer you really want to catch. 

What about in the work place? The average Cancer is a good member of the team and able to build strong teams. That being said, they aren’t always good at politics and can become frustrated by the ambitions of some. They tend to be a better member of the team than a leader. They are often described as the glue that keeps things together. 

It is not all positive with the Cancer sign. They do have their negatives. They can be moody. They are also susceptible to being hurt by the slightest insult. They find solace in eating and many Cancer zodiac individuals can end up being heavy and obese, which can lead to health problems. 

If you are looking for wild time and excitement, the Cancer sign should probably be avoided. The characteristics of the Cancer zodiac sign are aligned much more towards happy marriages and raising large families.
