Introduction: Characteristics of Cancer

Cancerians are one of the most difficult signs in the Zodiac to pin down. Introverted and ambitious, brooding and intellectual, Cancers are found in all walks of life and are perhaps most easily identified by their tendency to hold back and keep to themselves.

Cancers are hobbyists and artists who function best when given a secure, private environment. Cancers are also well adapted to acting and oratory endeavors so long as they have a save haven to return to. As a Cancer, you know yourself well but may not understand other people, especially rash or unpredictable ones.

Love

Cancer households tend to be loving and supportive ones, albeit somewhat isolated. With the right home environment, Cancers can thrive in the outside world in a variety of pursuits. Seek out other people who are trustworthy and stable. You will find your biggest challenges are finding out how to trust other people but don’t be too slow to open up. Remember that sometimes its good to get hurt and that it allows you to grow.

Once you’ve found your special someone, work tirelessly with them to build a stable home that will allow you to feel safe.

Finance

High-risk enterprises are probably not for you. Risky opportunities can burn you if they fail and you may find yourself slow to trust in another company again. Spare yourself the drama and invest in low-risk, slow growing companies that will always be there.

And when your pursuits turn entrepreneurial, consider starting businesses that are well studied and probably going to succeed, even if it takes a while for them to do so.

When you invest consider:

Low-risk stocks
Government bonds
High-yield savings accounts
Retirement accounts such as 401Ks and IRAs

Career

Cancerians are usually intellectual and introverted and should consider pursuing careers in large companies with a proven track record.

But given their mental aptitude and general understanding of how to build things to last, people born under the Cancer sign should not short sell themselves short and may be well-suited to starting businesses where they have an opportunity to do things right.

Some other careers that may suit you well include:

Financial advisor
Politician
Chef
Author/poet

Scorpios
Pisces
Other Cancerians

Conclusion:

Beware of your tendency to keep to yourself because sometimes you have to let other people into your life. Don’t be too slow to trust because in order to succeed in love or in a career you have to put yourself out there.
