As a crab you can often avoid confrontation by hiding in your shell, preferring not to get into a heated battle. You just don't like conflict. This makes you agreeable but can also stop you from expressing your own feelings directly, especially if they might offend. You are caring and truly a symbol of love Cancer, especially when it comes to your family, who you dutifully provide for at any opportunity. You are faithful, loving, and protective of those you keep close. This is where you shine. You are also very perceptive of other people's emotions, very receptive to their needs, and psychic and intuitive in your nature.
The flip side is that you are not always the first to express your own emotions, or ask for help when you need it. Cancer, you may remain a little distant and closed off in your approach to life, and your complicated and contradictory nature can leave you vacant at times. The immense amount of love you give is your strength, but this can cause you to come across as clingy, needy, and possessive at times. Your moods wax and wane with your ruler, the Moon, and this can cause you to have mood swings, which are sometimes intensified by your inclination towards a pessimistic outlook. It is typical of the contradictory nature of Cancer to be able to be so loving, yet so negative at times.
