Compassionate Cancer

Many believe that our astrological signs influence our personalities, our compatibility with other people, and what our unique strengths are that help us conquer our days. 

For all of the designs of our fidget jewelry, we think about what makes people unique. We try to create designs based on personality traits, interests, and symbols that embody a person's spirit. This is why we create zodiac-themed fidget jewelry and merchandise—a lot of people really resonate with their zodiac sign and the personality traits associated with it. 

If you know a lot about your zodiac sign, like us, you probably already have an idea of what character traits your sign typically exhibits. 

For this post, we are going to be focusing specifically on Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac. We will answer your questions about the Cancer star sign like: 

• What dates are the Cancer star sign?
• What is a Cancer's personality? 
• What is a Cancer's weakness? Their strengths?
• Who is a Cancer's soulmate? Who is their enemy? 

What Dates are the Cancer Star Sign?

If you're new to astrology, you might not know what your star sign is. To determine what your sign is, you'll need to know which star sign's date range your birthday falls between. 

Cancers birth dates fall between June and July. Specifically, if you were born between June 22nd and July 22nd, you are a Cancer!

This sign is symbolized by the crab. Cancer is a water sign which helps explain why people who fall under this sign feel emotions so deeply. 

This sign is ruled by the Moon which also contributes to the personality traits typically exhibited by a Cancer. 

What is a Cancer's Personality?

There are many traits associated with the Cancer star sign that influence their personality. Some of these traits can be seen as strengths, while others might be perceived as weaknesses. 

Some of the personalty traits of the Cancer zodiac sign that are viewed as strengths are: 

• Loyal. Cancers don't trust easily but when they do, you will have their loyalty for life. They advocate and stick up for the people they do trust.
  
• Intuitive. This star sign has a knack for picking up the energy in a room. They are highly intuitive and usually are correct about how people feel about them. You should always listen to the gut instincts of a Cancer. 
• Compassionate. Cancers truly care about the people they love. They are the friend that always checks up on you, listens to you when you're being talked over, and makes you feel seen. 

There are a ton of other strengths that Cancers possess. However, there are also traits that make up their personalities that can be seen as weaknesses. 

• Self-protective. Cancers are a water sign, which means they are deeply affected by their emotions. This means they are easily hurt by others and can experience more lows than the average person. They are aware of this trait so tend to close themselves off to others and have a small circle of people they truly trust. 
• Passive aggressive. Even though their feelings are hurt easily, Cancers have a hard time with direct confrontation. You won't always know when you've hurt a Cancer's feelings and might end up on the receiving end of their passive aggression. 
• Pessimism. Since Cancers are always acting on the defense to protect themselves, this contributes to their "glass half-empty" view of the world. Cancers tend to assume the worst and struggle to see the bright side of any negative situations they end up in. 

These strengths and weaknesses influence a Cancer's personality. These personality traits can also influence a Cancer's compatibility with other star signs. 

Who is a Cancer's Soulmate and Enemy? 

All twelve star sign's have distinct personality traits that are ruled by different elements. This can impact the levels of compatibility they have with other signs. 

Soulmate. Fellow water sign, Pisces, makes a great match for a Cancer. Pisces also deeply feel their emotions and can understand what is making a Cancer emotional. Pisces are also very empathetic and avoid hurting others when they can. It is unlikely that a Pisces would ever hurt or betray, making them an easy sign for Cancers to let in. 

Enemy. A sign that Cancers are typically incompatible with are Leos. Since Cancers tend to be closed off and have a very small circle of people they trust, being with a Leo that likes to be the center of attention and surround themselves with a lot of people is a Cancer's nightmare. Leos also won't be sensitive to a Cancer's emotions, or even understand where those emotions are coming from. 

What Fidget Jewelry Should the Cancer Zodiac Wear?

Cancers inspire us to be our best selves. We hand selected a few designs that we think would be perfect for our compassionate Cancers:

• Cancer symbol. The first and most obvious choice for this sign are the Cancer elements. You could get one with the crab, one with the constellation, or both!
• Always. The Always element symbolizes the level of loyalty you get from a Cancer when they let you in. If you gain a Cancer's trust, you always have their support, love, and admiration.
• SELF LOVE. The SELF LOVE element represents the self-preservation that Cancers tend toward. They understand how important it is to love themselves because of how deeply they feel their emotions. 
• TRUST. The TRUST element serves as a reminder to Cancers that it's okay to let others in and trust them. It takes a lot to earn a Cancers trust and that is due to their fear of getting hurt. When a Cancer wears this ring, they can feel empowered to let more people in. 
• Rhodonite. Finally, we selected a crystal that we think represents the personality of a Cancer. Crystals are believed to amplify certain traits in a person and the properties associated with Rhodonite complement a Cancer well. Rhodonite is associated with deep love, generosity, compassion, and emotional healing. These properties align with the way a Cancer feels and how their emotions affect them. 

Care like a Cancer
