Only because their emotions are sincere. I find the native to be very industrious and hard working. In order to really understand the Cancer born, we must understand their ruler, the moon. This is one reason they are so very sensitive - the brain feels as well as the senses and is capable of telling the native what the real feeling should be above all others. These people are gifted and have strong imaginations - this is where their genius lies.
Cancer is a speculator - likes to gamble even though they often lose.
But in spite of this, they are successful in any type of business. These people hate to be dictated to and if they are misunderstood, they fall into moods of great depression. The native needs understanding and encouragement in all their endeavors. They are dependent upon sympathy and approval. The native loves the psychic and mysterious.
