Cancer Baby:

Cancer – Moon Babies

As a Water sign, you've got an emotional baby here. In a word: tears! Cancer babies do have a reputation for crying a lot.

Planet: Moon
Element: Water

In fact, this is a sign of great contrasts. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and the mythology of the moon includes its link to the tides and to changebility.

As a Cardinal sign, Cancer is the sign of new beginnings. It is also the longest day of the year and a time when there is maximum light. Therefore optimism is one of the Cancerean traits.

Cancer babies are soft and sensitive. They will grow up to be very imaginative and compassionate souls. That's where they can sometimes be misread. Because beneath the soft exterior, these little ones can be very tough nuts. They can be extremely stubborn and set on getting their own way.

This can be an advantage in their life as Cancereans often achieve a lot and become very successful.

They're smart, creative and imaginative. Cancerean children can spend a lot of time in the realms of imagination, daydreaming. They love storytime and this can be one way to nurture their imagination.

Cancer babies can be fierce when provoked, though they tend to only react in self defense. If there is a fight, you may want to find out the causes before deciding on a punishment, as it'll rarely be the Cancer who is the aggressor.

In general, Cancereans are easy to teach and live with. They will be well-mannered children. They are very sensitive to family tension, because family is so important to the Cancer baby.

Family will always be more important to the Cancerean than friends. These kids thrive when given a lot of warmth and attention.

Cancer children can be prone to mood swings, and therefore benefit from a stable base. Cancer is also the sign of Memory. This means they will not easily forget things from the past, both good and bad. Their sensitivity means that, like their namesake crab, they will withdraw into their shell if they suffer any kind of rejection.

For this reason, these little ones need to be made to feel safe, especially within the family unit.

In summary, Cancerean babies can be emotional and sensitive. Despite this, they harbor a tough core that will give them strength they need as they face the challenges of life.
