Cancer-born is introvert, thoughtful and reserved, and open his heart for his close ones. Reserved nature is one of the key characteristic of their nature, since they would not tell everything about themselves in the initial few meetings. However, ruled by the emotions and their deep feelings, these individuals are very friendly, selfless and full of concern for their close ones.
