Cancer season is from June 21st to July 22nd. It is a water sign, and its ruling planet is the Moon.
Cancers are known for being very empathetic, and they have a very strong intuition. They will always be there for one another. Cancers have strong protective instincts. Cancers are also moody and sensitive. They can be quite selfish, possessive and manipulative.
Usually, Cancers are most compatible with other water signs like Pisces and Scorpio. They’re also compatible with earth signs, including Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Cancers connect very well with Scorpios on an intelligent, emotional level. Cancers also go great with Pisces, as they nurture each other.
Cancer’s origin story is involved with the Greek physician, Hippocrates. He used “karkinos” (crabs) to describe tumors, as tumors spread aggressively like crabs, and are also the shape of crabs. The term karkinos was eventually translated to Cancer. This is why the Cancers symbol is a crab.
