June 21 - July 23
Cancer is a zodiac sign that is deeply intuitive and sentimental, making them one of the most difficult signs to get to know. They are sensitive and highly emotional and prioritize things related to their family and home. They are very loyal and are often very empathetic to the suffering of others.
Cancerians are guided by their emotions and heart, and because of this, they can have a difficult time fitting into the world around them. Ruled by the Moon, they are deeply influenced by the phases of the moon, creating varied emotional patterns that are often beyond their control.
If they perceive that they lack patience from others or love, they may experience mood swings, selfishness, and self-pity, or begin to manipulate others later in life. While they are quick to help others, they often avoid conflict and avoid direct confrontation. When at peace with their life choices, Cancers are happiest when they are surrounded by a loving family and harmonious home life.
