Sure, your Sun sign doesnt completely spell out your astrological personality, but it does have a lot to do with the way you think and act, along with other important elements like your natal and progressed charts , your Moon sign , and your Saturn return .

But right now its Cancer season (from June 21 through July 22, 2020), which means the personality traits most strongly associated with your sign will shine extra bright over the next month. (And FWIW, Cancer signs are rarely crabbybut more on that in a sec.)

You probably have a solid idea of what it means to be a Cancer from living your life, but theres some pretty crucial info you might have missed about what exactly it means to identify with your sign. These are the five major traits all Cancers have in common and should know about themselves, plus how they can impact your life, according to Donna Page , a certified astrologer in Atlanta.

1. Youre a born nurturer.

Youre happiest when you have somethingor someoneto care for, whether its a puppy, person, or plant (hey, succulents need love , too!). In relationships, youre the one who is always doling out back rubs after a long day or answering late-night emotional support texts. You dont necessarily get back all of the awesomeness that you give but, in general, youre okay with that. See? Not crabby at all.

2. Youre not always upfront about your feelings.

Despite the fact that you dole out comfort to people like its candy, it can take a little time to squeeze out how you really, truly feel about someone. Why? Youre scared of getting hurtand fair. Crabs have a hard shell, after all, you've gotta get comfortable before you come out of it.

3. Youre sensitive AF.

You have an amazing ability to understand the emotional needs of people, whether theyre in your inner circle or not. And, with that, you can respond quickly if you feel like someone needs a mental boost. On the flipside, that also means youre totally prone to bawling whenever you catch an ASPCA commercial on TV. You just have a lot of feelings, and there's nothing wrong with that.

4. You like to collect stuff.

Whether its your collection of Beyonce concert tees or your lifelong goal to get every single nail polish color ever made, this is definitely a Cancer thing. You dont necessarily care how much this stuff is worthyou just really, really like pulling things together.

5. Youre a little reserved.

Youre not shy, per se, but you definitely dont feel the need to be dancing on tables at 1 a.m. or anything (no judgment to your Gemini friend who does, of course!). While youre cool with a big social network, you tend to really focus on the smaller crew you know you can trust.
