Characteristics Cancer- Caring and self-sacrificing

There are many who claim that Cancer-born people are the best people in the world. Cancer is considered "the" zodiac sign par excellence, which probably has something to do with its positive characteristics. People born under this sign prove their caring loyalty to us every day. Their strong faith gives strength and comfort. Cancer-born people are very sensitive. You can't fool them and they react more sensitively to interpersonal changes than any other zodiac sign. Their willingness to help others is extremely high, even with people they normally have nothing to do with. Cancers are very family-oriented and constantly strive to create a harmonious relationship between family members. They don't like arguments at all and lonely moments wear them down in the long run. However, this self-sacrificing quality is not always good for Cancer. In phases in which they give themselves completely to others, they tend to neglect themselves and there is a high risk that they will fall into a deep hole. At this moment, Cancerians often do not get back what they have given others in the form of affection, conversation and attention.
If you now think that Cancers are the angels on earth, then I'm sorry to disappoint you. True to the motto "Nobody's perfect", this zodiac sign naturally also has negative characteristics. For example, they can be extremely resentful, in other words, Cancer forgets nothing. Cancer will rub their noses in an argument years later in a similar situation. Although this zodiac sign is very much in need of harmony, it is relatively easy to get into arguments with them, which is probably due to their hypersensitive nature. Nevertheless, Cancer's positive qualities outweigh its negative ones, making it a lovable and valuable contemporary.

Astrological sign Cancer in professional life

Due to the delicate and sensitive nature of Cancer, people who belong to this zodiac sign are particularly well suited to social professions. But they also show strength in the areas of human resources, cooperative personnel management and personnel management. Having a Cancer as a superior can be a blessing, as they rarely polarize and are interested in the professional development of every employee. Cancerians are also extremely popular as colleagues. While others drag down the mood of an entire team, the Cancer is usually neutral and keeps everyone in a good mood. Cancer thinks long and hard before making a decision. This can be their downfall, especially in situations where quick decisions have to be made. They also need to develop a thick skin at work. Although he is open to criticism, he takes negative feedback to heart, which leads to him doubting himself.

Cancer Love and Partnership

Cancer also impresses with its positive qualities when it comes to relationships and love. He gnaws on disappointments and injuries for quite a long time and it will take him some time to rebuild trust. If you find yourself in such a situation with a Cancer, I would advise you not to put any pressure on them. You should also lower your expectations of him. When he is ready, he will approach you again of his own accord. He will decide when this happens. Cancers are very family-oriented and constantly worry about their loved ones at home. Family means a lot to them and in romantic togetherness, they like to let themselves fall in order to be picked up. For Cancer, love means unconditional loyalty and devotion to their partner. Cancer women are said to be very possessive and thus restrict their partner too much. Cancer men are easily provoked, which is particularly noticeable in conflict situations, but they do not become quick-tempered or choleric.
