Gemini season is over, which means it’s time to celebrate the creative, sassy and sometimes competitive Cancers.
“There’s no crying in baseball,” words uttered by one of Hollywood’s most famous cancers when Tom Hanks played Jimmy Dugan in “A League of Their Own.” And funny enough, being in tune with their emotions is a well-known trait of cancer.
They’re tough on the outside but oh-so-mushy on the inside. They take being fashionable to a new level and they’re the best types of friends to call when you need to vent. And while they’re kind hearts, empathetic personalities and nurturing behavior make them some of the most reliable and dependable people, crossing them – even just once – could land you in the doghouse forever.
