MrsM's blog: "other things"

Their tendency towards resentfulness not withstanding, Cancer people offer many things to the world. They have an incredible wellspring of kindness within where given half the chance, they’d gladly love to show you. Other traits include:

Kind: There’s a big difference between being nice and being kind, and Cancer is truly aware of this. Whether it’s rescuing a stray dog or feeding the homeless, Cancer (along with soulful Pisces), is the first one in line to offer a helping hand.
Dependable: While their moods may flicker like that of a candle caught in a storm, there is one thing we know for sure. You can always depend on them. Whether it’s for love or money, or simply to lend a helping hand, Cancers are known for coming through in a pinch.
Intuitive: Perhaps most importantly, Cancer, and by extension, the role of the Moon in astrology, teaches us how to intuit. Along with their great capacity for love comes a strong intuitive force that seems to guide them. Much in the way the moon’s light guides us in darkness, this intuitive ability guides them through life. Just being with a Cancer can help you learn how to do the same.
