Hey there, I'm a Cancer Sun, Ascendant and Mars. Cancer is the most damn over-stereotyped in astrology, probably because the 'mother' concept is so easy to convey, unlike some of the other signs.

The ACCURATE Cancer traits: feels comfortable and authentic around concepts of home and relationships (note I said concepts: doesn't mean they sit around the house or hang out with momma, but means they are happy in wherever they create a comfy base and a friend or partner to relate to). Has killer sense of humor, loves money - accumulating and spending it, great doses of empathy and a genuine love of helping and caring for others, a sensual sex drive that borders of savage when comfy with their lover!! Sensitive to emotions, spirit, and the deep consciousness, and strong.

The INACCURATE traits (in my opinion/experience): Only lives for money, marriage, motherhood, is dependent and incapable of exisiting without someone to baby, mother, or smother. Lover or partner must love mother and family and hang with them lots on Saturday night (my all time pet-peeve Cancer description!) Stingy and cries a lot. Dumb enough not to see past emotions. Incapable of dealing with detached people. Frightened, worrywart, timid, push-over....GOD, the list is endless, pointless, and senseless.

I think over time, Cancer has been stuck with bad mythology that has transferred upon our astrological consciousness, upon which it is seemingly to late to expand on or re-construct.

When you're a Cancer in your teens, and just like any other teenager, you're confused, insecure, whatever....for God' sake don't look into Astrology, hehe, cause all you'll get is: you'll be a weepy, emotional basket case FOREVER AND EVER MOOOOOOOOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem. Good day to y'all.


Do you have a Cancer Ascendant-Mars conjunction?

Not sure they have a dark side per se.
But in terms of emotions -maybe most other people wouldn’t choose to navigate in those waters.
An unnecessary voyage?
Maybe they are of the same opinion and they resent us for triggering them to go there. I guess we could ask what their sensitivities are and honour those for the time we‘re with them.
Homebody? Not ruled out, but is it because they feel safest there?

I'm not a Cancer sun but a Cancer ascendant and moon and I'm not interested in mothering (not even a cat - which I love - let alone a baby). I love exploring and I love being a lone. So yeah, not really accurate.
I am emotional and sensitive though

my family member is one and not a home person much. I think the sun sign doesn't describe the person as much as a rising sign or moon sign.

I am a Cancer Ascendant ruled by a Cancer Moon and I have Saturn in Cancer too. Even though I am in middle 40s and I love to stay at home at this stage of my life, I agree that many descriptions on Cancer (including this one) are inaccurate. Most part of my life I was not a home buddy. I think that the main issues with the descriptions of signs are:
1) many people memorize meanings for them, but do not look at the overall condition of the dispositor (planet that rules Cancer, in this case, the Moon) to see how the energy of this sign is expressed and the motivations behind it;
2) in Modern Astrology, signs ended up absorbing meanings of the houses, which is not really correct, when we understand how houses are calculated and they do not exist in the constellations. The fact is that houses and signs ARE NOT the same thing just like HOW (sign) something is happening is not the same than WHERE. This is one of the main criticisms of classical astrologers towards modern astrologers and one of very few I agree with. The 4th house, among other meanings, represents home. The sign of Cancer is ruled by the Moon but it does not have the same exact meanings of the 4th house if you study Traditional Astrology.

It is not my purpose to write a lot about these meanings but if someone is interested in understanding the real differences between signs and houses and their meanings in details, I would highly recommend checking out the videos of the Astrology Podcast channel in Youtube series Zodiac Sign Meanings and of the series Signification of the Twelve Houses. Those videos are divided in parts and about 3 hours long each so it goes deep on the subject and feature the astrologer Chris Brennan and 2 others (Kelly Surtees and Austin Coppock.
