This may conflict with the need for a warm home life with certain people close to you. For you, life is only complete when you can live out your protective instincts toward those around you. This highly developed instinct will clearly influence your material and domestic structure to provide security and stability. This is connected to the fact that Cancer is a Cardinal sign allowing you to be quite enterprising in either commercial or domestic activities. For some, an inherent nurturing instinct also extends to ideas and projects that involve some form of development.
Many nurses often have a healthy dose of Cancerian energy in their chart.
Your diplomatic talents are admirable, often allowing achievement in what you want. However, when you think someone is treading on your toes, you may act quite illogically and be unable to cooperate with others. Security on the other hand is very important to you and you are prepared to go to any lengths to accomplish it. In such cases however, your strong sense of responsibility will ensure that you proceed with the utmost caution. Your heart is really in the right place, but the influence of the ruling Moon in this sign can make you seem affectionate and open at one moment, sentimental, reserved, and withdrawn the next.
