Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac. If you are born under this sign then you are an emotional person, very sensitive, imaginative and romantic. Your greatest faults are indecision and hesitation. You can be very ambitious but also very lazy. You are a kind and loyal friend. You have a very good memory and would make a good nurse, manager, therapist or sailor. It is likely that you will make a lot of money at some stage in your life. Your stomach gives you health problems.
