The zodiac sign of Cancer also called as Kataka represents the roots. The Cancer-born are rooted in basics and are adept at standing up to the challenges that life throws at them, swimming against the current and coming out on top. The Latin word Cancer means the Crab, which happens to be their symbol. A crab can hold fast to something with a calm determination and so are these people.
The crab will also retreat into its shell when it feels the need. Likewise, the Cancer-born too will withdraw into themselves when not in the mood, which indicates their temperamental nature.
The Moon is their ruling planet, which denotes the mind. This makes the Cancers sensitive and emotional. They are family-people, who are sympathetic, persuasive, empathetic and reliable. However, they are given to wild mood swings and can at times sink into the depths of pessimism.
If the Cancer-born can manage to put their strengths like care, sensitivity, and tenacity to practical use, and exercise restraint on their emotional upheavals and mood swings, they can be lovable individuals. They can also be very effective in their endeavors and can make life a fulfilling experience for themselves and even for those around them.
