Once the Summer Solstice ushers in the longest, most sunshine-filled days of the year, it's Cancer season. Annually, approximately between June 21 and July 22, the sun moves through the fourth sign of the zodiac, Cancer, symbolized by the crab. For many, the first joyful four weeks of summer are spent with family and friends at a local beach or pool, snacking on favorite seasonal foods hello, BBQ. This life-loving vibe is influenced by Cancer, a water sign associated with organic sensuality, sentimentality, and an appreciation for life's simple pleasures, especially food and family.
These traits are owed to Cancer's ruling celestial body, the moon, known not only for its gravitational pull which influences the tides but its ability to guide our emotions and intuition, sense of security and safety, as well as our instincts.
These celebs are astrologically wired to channel their intense emotions to caring for others and expressing a unique understanding of the human condition and heart. Those born between June 21 and July 22 can generally conclude that their sun sign is Cancer. It's not definitive, because the sun moves between signs on different days annually. Also note that while we tend to refer to ourselves as our sun sign, it's just one detail of a natal chart, which is basically a unique snapshot of the sky when you were born.
But it's a detail that helps color your core sense of self, identity, personal style, self-esteem, and confidence. Typical sun in Cancer traits include being nurturing, sensitive, compassionate, self-protective, security-seeking and offering, loving, and displaying a goofy, ingratiating sense of humor. The Fourth House covers our domestic lives, our nests, how we were parented and might parent literally or figuratively in our lives, and emotions and memories from childhood that might color your current reality.
Since the emotional, maternal moon influences Cancer's personality so intensely, the water sign tends to prioritize — and occasionally twist themselves into knots — to make most people in their life feel even slightly more comfortable and secure.
They'll pour their heart into caring for plants and pets just as much as they do loved ones. Cooking or baking meals and treats with a ton of love is their specialty, but if a moment calls for a sentimental card, bouquet of flowers, or FaceTime catch-up session, they'll be all in on that as well.
And while they're loyal to the core and will always show up for their friends, family comes first for these heartfelt homebodies. Every sign is assigned a quality cardinal, mutable, or fixed , which explains the sign's basic energy. There's a cardinal, mutable, and fixed sign within every element fire, earth, air, water.
Cancer is the cardinal one of the water group, which gives them a go-getter, big picture-planning perspective. They're able to think in an artistic, ambitious way, which means they're naturals at initiating bold plans. Compassionate, often sweet, always deeply feeling, and capable of cracking up their inner circle with their offbeat or goofy sense of humor, you can rely on the Cancers in your life to offer a shoulder to cry on and freshly baked cookies.
They are the zodiac's purveyors of care packages, sentimental emoji-peppered emails, and warm-hearted talks over a steaming mug of chamomile tea. They're your obvious date for that food truck crawl, the friend who won't question a random rant about that eighth-grade crush, or the thoughtful, emotionally present lover you can rely on for nonstop snuggle sessions and an unconditional stream of mushy words.
Cancer's intense connection to their emotions doesn't come without its negative side, which is a tendency to be moody and snappy they are the Crab, after all when rubbed the wrong way in a particularly sensitive, agitated state. Whether they're worked up or drowning in their feelings, often as a result of feeling that their giving nature has been taken advantage of, they'll be quick to retreat into their shell.
They may make a sharp-toned remark before throwing their phone on 'do not disturb' and brooding away. The fix for Cancer's most sour mood is an opportunity to rest, recharge, and perhaps even ruminate a bit before turning their compassionate heart back over to everyone they come in contact with. Like the moon, which orbits the earth, Cancers have the truly wonderful gift of being able to tune into people and their environments, so this is a friend that can often see through a facade and perceive what those in their circle are really feeling.
As in most areas of their lives, the typical Cancerian needs to feel secure at work. A steady income and a clear job trajectory are essential for their mental and emotional health. Because of their excellent listening skills and genuine interest in people, Cancers tend to do well as therapists, bodyworkers, energy healers, or in any profession where listening, intuition, and care are involved.
No matter their chosen profession, Cancer will make those around them feel nurtured, cared for, and seen. There are no absolutes when it comes to astrological compatibility, but Cancers typically gravitate toward folks who can make them feel seen and cared for. Here are their most compatible and incompatible signs in friendship and love:. Generally, the most compatible signs for Cancer friendships and romantic relationships are fellow water signs, Pisces and Scorpio, as they'll just "get it" with regards to the emotional language that Cancer speaks.
Earth signs Virgo , Taurus , and Capricorn have similar space-holding energy. Fire signs Aries , Leo , and Sagittarius and air signs Gemini , Libra, and Aquarius might be more difficult, as they tend to have a harder time tending to the sensitivity of Cancer. Cancer could prove easily wounded by their intensity.
