A Sun Sign signifies the state (position etc.) of the sun, planets and all other components of the solar system when a person is born. Hence, it has a deep rooted impact on the general nature of a person.
It is a deeply studied field which has been a center of curiosity for people from generations because the way it influences and dictates people characteristics is amazing. I beleive in them, and if you’re reading this… I’m sure you do too. Even if not, what harm can a little reading do… so go ahead… explore and perhaps you might find yourself again…..
All 12 sun-signs together represent the 4 basic elements of life – Earth, Fire, Water and Wind. So they form four groups of 3 sun signs each, representing a triangle of that particular element. The sun-signs at the ends of this triangle, are most compatible with each other.

General Description of Cancerians:
The Cancerian character is the least clear-cut of all those associated with the signs of the zodiac. It can range from the timid, dull, shy and withdrawn to the most brilliant.
Cancerians have a fundamentally conservative and home-loving nature, appreciating the nest like quality of a secure base to which the male can retire when he needs a respite from the stresses of life, and in which the Cancerian woman can exercise her strong maternal instincts. A typical cancerian loves to be with his family and would decline many a party invitations just to be with his/her loved ones.
That does not mean that they are unsocial. When they are in the mood, Cancerians can be the very life of a party with their contagious sense of humour, attractive personality and crazy laughter. They can set the dance floor on fire with those moves. But there’s a time for everything for this lone creature. Because when the party is over, this person prefers to return to his/her cozy home and lie silently in his/her bed with his loved ones.
They prefer to spend time with themselves. There might be two reasons for this. One, they love introspection or self-realisation that gives them a deeper understanding of themselves and other creatures around them. And two, when they’re alone, they’re at their creative best, which is a very strong quality in them.
Cancerians are very attached to the people who manage and are lucky enough to create a space for themselves in their heart. They’ll go to any extent to spend time with them, protect them, shower them with love. This can sometimes be irritating for the receiving party, but they’ll nevertheless do the same, because they beleive that you belong to them and they to you. But during that one moment of irritation, be careful not to say anything that might even slightly be categorised as rude. Because, while they can give a cranky answer back if you’re not so close to them, they can get deeply hurt by the slightest rise in your tone of talking to them if your someone dear.
And once, they’re hurt, they’ll retreat into a space where no-one except themselves can reach them. They’ll dodge calls, avoid talking to you or discussing the matter, at the same time desiring and needing lots of affection and assurance that you love them. And after some time, when they have self-healed themselves, they’ll be their normal sweet adorable self again.
Beware of the Cancerian’s swirling moods. They can irritate you as hell when they’re at it.
Cancerians generally prove to be excellent cooks, and one of the reason behind it is that they love food. Any kind of it. But usually July born people suffer from digestive problems or problems in the abdominal area.
In their personal relationships they are mentally a mixture of toughness and softness, often emotional and romantic to the point of sentimentality in their fantasies; but in real life and in marriage, their loving is not so sentimental but tenaciously loyal. Both the
Cancerian man and woman love unreservedly, giving much and asking little in return – in fact, one of the most important lessons they have to learn is how to receive gracefully. They are too easily influenced by those they love and admire, and swayed by the emotion of the moment. They are also loyal friends, often doing much more for their friends than they do for them.
Cancerians have a retentive memory, particularly for emotionally laden events which they can recall in detail for years afterwards. they are strongly governed by childhood memories and since they live intensely in the past in memory and in the future in imagination, a chance meeting with someone for whom they had an unrequited love, even if they thought they had conquered the feeling, will easily rouse the emotion all over again.

The crab is a nocturnal water creature that is well equipped with its massive claws to defend itself and survives very well in the ‘wilds’ of the underwater world in which it thrives. They have also been prized for food throughout the ages. Crabs come in a variety of ’styles’ and species and are found in most of the oceans of the world, as well as in many inland waters. Being a sea scavenger, the crabs help mankind by keeping our waters cleaner.
