Cancers are universal counselors.  It seems that everyone tells a Cancer their problems or goes to them for help.  They are wonderful listeners.  The only thing is that they absorb the other
persons issues as if they were their own.  But they do not let go of it and incorporate it into their own life.  They need to release it once the person is done communicating with them.  They never
forget anything and might also bring this up later in life for situations for the good or bad. They are very maternal family oriented, even more than the families they eventually have.  Most men
Cancers will be strongly close to the mothers as the female Cancers will be that of the fathers.   They will want a family unit.  They seem to have problems with the family at times.  Cancers are
known to hold on to things even the bad situations.  They will stay in a bad relationship until something better comes along.  Think of the crab itself, it does not let go.  It will hold on to the
very end even until it kills what it has in the claws until some other food supply comes and gets it interested.  This does not mean that Cancers kill their pray, but they hold on to situations and
relationships and do not let go until something better comes along, but until then they will hold on.  Their stomach and breasts are governed over by this sign.  They will have problems with these
areas. The Cancer will fight for any cause to see justice being served.

Positive traits: receptive, sensitive, imaginative, sympathetic, kind, emotional and possess an active, shrewd and intuitive mind.

Negative traits: they are susceptible to accidents in the home.  They are also prone toward becoming victims of theft.
