Cancer   22 June - 22 July   Element:  Water Planet:  Moon     Cancer's lunar essence makes them as changeable as the tides, and they are known for their moodiness and sensitivity. Also like the moon, Cancer people are often enigmatic and paradoxical; they hide a great deal beneath their "crab's shell." They also hide their feelings to a great extent, which is a needed survival instinct; Cancers (or those with a strong Cancer influence in their natal chart) are deeply sensitive. This sensitivity, in its positive, can also translate into intuition. If they are able to rise above their emotional natures, they can make success in business due to their innate knowledge of the needs of others. Cancers, both male and female, are also known for their nurturing qualities. Whether or not they have children, they often find themselves mothering their friends and relatives.
