The celestial crab known as Cancer (June 21 - July 22) is the fourth sign in Western Astrology. Its element is water, naturally, and the Moon is its ruling "planet" (because in astrology we call all major heavenly bodies planets, regardless of their technical astronomical classification). The Moon's influence gives Cancers a maternal, caring energy. They are highly sensitive and intuitive, but just as the crab walks along at an angle, so too will Cancers avoid direct, head-on confrontation.
Homebodies of the highest order - even more so than Tauruses - they love nothing more than when plans to go out get canceled. And it's easy to see why: their home spaces are always supremely cozy and inviting. Although it may take some coaxing to get them out of their shell, when they do invite you in, you'd be hard-pressed to find a sign more hospitable or nurturing.
I've rounded up ten gifts sure to soften the hard exoskeleton of any crab you love.
