Cancer is the sign of the Crab. Unlike the clawed crustacean, Cancerians are kind, loving creatures. They are sympathetic to those less fortunate than themselves. Cancers are very emotional. A Cancerian will gladly make a personal sacrifice to benefit a loved one. They do not yearn for the spotlight (unlike a Leo, for example). Instead, Cancers prefer a quiet night at home with a good book, a fire, and a loved one.
