There's a touch of shyness in the Cancer personality, but it is finely mixed with a more assertive side, which can have them appear somewhat domineering in some situations. Even so, they are usually quite emphatic and responsive to the needs of their surroundings. This sign can have some underlying narcissistic elements to it, which can find a more problematic expression in unstable charts. There may be some gravitation to the limelight, and these natives often like to think of themselves as a kind of princes or princesses. This sign has active emotions in that they are constantly shifting, changing from one mood to another. At their worst, they may be cranky, touchy, sometimes even aggressive. It can sometimes be difficult to understand, being highly influenced (positively or negatively) by emotional patterns. As such, it can be rather whimsical and quite unpredictable at times. It's not uncommon for Cancer individuals to have a change of heart half-way into things, however loyalties are also strong and they may stick to things on this precept. They usually have strong maternal, protective instincts, a kind of mother hen. Family is usually very important to this sign, and these tend to be quite patriotic. They are clingy and do not react well to disloyalty - they usually make bonds which they expect to last forever. Of course, they invest a lot of themselves into these bonds. They are not superficial in most of the things they do. It is one of the more loyal, conscience-ridden signs. It is quite thoughtful, at least while all goes well. It tends to be rather conservative in its demeanor. Cancer people often long for something exciting and "magical". They are often conflicted between a certain pull to the limelight and the timid, self-protective side of their nature. They can be pretty dramatic, which can work well for the former. Cancer is actually one of the stronger signs of the zodiac. In aggressive circumstances, it is no less capable than the other creeper, Scorpio. It however, mostly does not revel in its sting, and is more preventative. They can sometimes be too aggressive in protecting that which is dear to them, perhaps unnecessarily so.
