Cancer is a cardinal sign and is one of the water signs. Of all the zodiac signs, his character is the least clear; he can range from withdrawn, unsociable, and a bore, to dazzling, attractive, and admired by others. Sometimes he is too much of a dreamer, so he mistakes the real world for the utopia he has built in his head: the refuge of the fantasies he adores.

Cancers have an extraordinary memory and a remarkable innate talent for the arts and literature. They are also ambitious and can change professions, friendships, etc. without difficulty.

The Crab lives his life by taking two steps forward and one step backwards; he is curious but fearful, fierce but sensitive, fickle but conservative, the best example of the spirit of pure contradiction!

When it comes to love, Cancer is also a mixture of contradiction in its relationships; if it is in a stable relationship, it loves truly, sincerely, although in its inner self this does not mean that it cannot have sexual relations with other people. He is also characterised by a tenderness, emotion and imagination that make him a very, very special lover.
