Physically the cancer tends to have a rounded body type. Since Cancer rules the breast they are prone to breast problems.

Cancer is a very nurturing and protective sign. Cancers love their home and family, they bake cookies and grow plants, not so much because they like the dirt the way a Taurus does but because they have a strong desire to nurture. Cancers are very loyal and love their mom and it shows, cancer men are often seen as "mamas boys". Cancer is a very emotional sign, they do not express verbally well, they pout and show words with emotions, they will hold a grudge almost as long as the Scorpios. They can be moody, clingy, smothering, overly sensitive and pull into their "shell" when threatened.
