Cancer is ruled by the Moon and the fourth zodiac sign. It is the most
empathetic sign symbolized by the crab. People born under this sign are often
over sensitive and concerned with expressing emotions than getting involved in
superficial conversations. They can be moody, drawing into the protective shell
if things around them get too intense.
Their abilities fit the Cancerian for a wide range of occupations. As they
are interested in what people are thinking and able to judge what they can
safely be told, they can be good journalists, writers or politicians, though in
this last capacity they are more likely to remain in the background rather than
attain prominent positions of power.
They can be good journalists, writers or politicians with a retentive memory,
particularly for emotionally laden events. They are also full of suspicion and
lack of faith in others. However once they develop faith, they are most loyal
and always ready to cooperate. Cancerians are not easy to understand, for their
moods often fluctuate from sweet to cranky.

Your ruling planet is MOON
Your Stars & Stone
Your star stone is the beautiful, translucent, PEARL. The Pearl can be all the silvery colors of the moon and not just white. The pearl takes on its silvery, shimmering, colors from the color of the linings of the mollusc (oyster) in which it is grown. A beautiful, perfect pearl can sell for as much as $250,000.00, so speaking of a "pearl of great price" becomes readily understandable. This precious stone can be harmed if subjected to hair spray, acids, perspiration, and some types of cosmetics.
