The Moon which endows them with a characteristic changeability and moodiness rules Cancer. Cancer tends to look at the world as an emotional and sentimental experience. They make wonderful and artistic homemakers and natural providers and protectors of all those dear to them. Crabs love to worry secretly and retreat into their shell when hurt (which is often) making them slightly difficult to fathom. They crave security and are tenacious about hanging on to relationships and jobs. This also translates into keeping alive links to the past. Being secretive and sentimental makes Cancer great dreamers and original romantics.
