Cancer is a very patient zodiac sign. Cancer feels all moods to the fullest, joy, sorrow, compassion, as well as disappointment, horror and sadness. Family is quite important to Cancer as well. Cancer will always forgive, but has a good memory for when he's been wronged.
Cancer can love long and strong and is a giver which makes him an excellent mate. But if not careful Cancer can be taken advantage of by those around him who are takers by nature. Cancer has a gentle soul and can be easily wounded. The protection of the family circle is very important to Cancer.
