Personality, strengths and weak spots.
Cancer personal traits
The word that describes Cancer people - extremely sensitive, easily offended and prone to worry about everything in their lives - is "I feel". Their sense of responsibility is highly developed. The extraordinary attention to detail they bring to every task shows up in their work as perfectionism. They expect the same sense of responsibility from the people opposite them. Cancer people are known for their emotion and their sensitivity. Because they expect that same delicacy from everyone around them, they are not the easiest people to get along with. On their good days they are cheerful, kind-hearted, helpful, thoughtful and understanding. But they can turn sullen and touchy without any obvious reason. Much as they love their family and friends, they do not show it openly. They forgive anyone who has hurt them only with difficulty, and they never forget what was done. Cancer people take an interest in music and in religious matters. Patient as they are, they take no pleasure at all in arguments; they keep what they feel quietly to themselves.
Cancer physical traits
Physically, a true Cancer is pale and fair-skinned, of medium or short height, with a round face. Their eyes are usually grey or blue. Their hair is matt and brown. Cancer women are unquestionably very beautiful; they have the lovely face that stands for the Moon. Their figure is fine in youth; as they grow older, if they are not careful, they become heavy and rounded.
