If you’re that person that is the centre of attention and everyone gravitates to when they need some support, whether to talk stuff out or just for a hug, well, it’s probably because you’re a Cancerian.

Sure, your Sun sign doesn’t completely spell out your astrological personality, but it does have a lot to do with the way you think and act, along with other important elements like your natal and progressed charts, your Moon sign, and your Saturn return.

But right now it’s Cancer season (from June 21 through July 22, 2020), which means the personality traits most strongly associated with your sign will shine extra bright over the next month. (And regardless of Cancer signs getting the bad reputation of being crabby, this is rarely the case?)

You probably have a solid idea of what it means to be a Cancer from living your life, but there’s some pretty crucial info you might have missed about what exactly it means to identify with your sign. These are the five major traits all Cancers have in common and should know about themselves, plus how they can impact your life.

1. All Cancerian’s have that motherly instinct, regardless of sex, the great nurturer of the zodiac.

Cancerians are the happiest when they have something—or someone—to care for, whether it’s a puppy, person, or plant (hey, succulents need love, too!). In relationships, you’re the one who is always doling out back rubs after a long day or answering late-night emotional support texts. You don’t necessarily get back all of the awesomeness that you give but, in general, you’re okay with that. See? Not crabby at all.

2. All Cancerian’s hide their feelings, and are not always upfront on expressing them.

Despite the fact that Cancerian’s dole out comfort to people like it’s candy, it can take a little time to squeeze out how they really, truly feel about someone. Why? They’re scared of getting hurt—and fair. Crabs have a hard shell, after all, they’ve gotta get comfortable before they come out of it.

3. All Cancerians are sensitive, words and actions do hurt deeply.

Cancerian’s have an amazing ability to understand the emotional needs of people, whether they’re in their inner circle or not. And, with that, they can respond quickly if they feel like someone needs a mental boost. On the flipside, that also means they’re totally prone to bawling whenever they catch an RSPCA commercial on TV. They just have a lot of feelings, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

4. All Cancerians like to collect stuff, like Magpies.

Whether it’s their collection of Pink concert t-shrits or your lifelong goal to get every single nail polish color ever made, this is definitely a Cancer thing. Cancerian’s  don’t necessarily care how much this stuff is worth—they just really, really like pulling things together, when I think of Cancerian the first thing that comes into my mind is a Magpie.

5. All Cancerian’s are a little reserved.

Cancerians are not shy, per se, but they definitely don’t feel the need to be dancing on tables at 2 a.m., or anything (no judgment to your Gemini friend who does, of course!).  While you’re cool with a big social network, Cancerians tend to really focus on the smaller crew they know and can trust.
