1. Cancers are overemotional.
The Cancer sign is ruled by water and like the other water signs - Scorpio and Pisces, Cancers are guided by the moon. Being guided by the moon’s phases, these signs will often have stark changes in emotional output. Like a pendulum, they can go from the highest of highs with a cheery disposition, to extreme lows with a constant need for validation. Through this, they are still known to show great understanding for others, but also expect great understanding in return.
2. Cancers can come across as moody and clingy.
When Cancers aren’t met with compassion, and empathy, they are prone to darker sides of their personality. They can become vindictive in their pursuit for reciprocity. If these affections still aren’t returned, Cancers are known to become moody and they won’t hesitate to brood around you until they get their way. This will often involve attaching onto you at all times.
3. They are accused of being suspicious.
Cancers can be very suspicious when they are unaware of everything that is going on around them. They will question you about every little detail, and won’t hesitate to check bank statements or your text messages to ensure you aren’t lying. This stems from a fear of being misled, or undesired. They will doubt other’s intentions until there is a consistent showing of what those around them intend to do.
4. At times, you'll notice they act pessimistic.
When faced with failures, or the possibility of losing, Cancers are prone to be pessimists. They will allow the negative thoughts as a result of insecurities they have. Often as well they will be express their negative outlooks, and are very reluctant to think positively once they’re in this state.
5. When they want something they can't have, Cancer can become manipulative.
One of their more hidden traits, Cancers can be very manipulative when they need to be. Due to always being full of understanding, they know exactly what to say and do to make those around them do as they wish. Even though they tend to be more moody when not getting their way, if they go too long without having what they want, they’ll create the situations they desire in one way or another.
Despite their negative traits, Cancers are not likely to swing to their lows unless their fears are amplified. Their glass hearts should be guarded, and when they are, you will receive such a great amount of affection and love. Still, watch out during full moons, everyone can’t handle the emotional pendulum.
