Why Is Cancer So Underrate?
Cancers get a bad rap for being sticks-in-the mud. Their no-nonsense attitude and high intelligence can be misinterpreted as pretentiousness or rigidity.
Why are Cancers so underrated?
Some even go so far as to say Cancers are evil! They’re associated with the maniacal pagan god, Pan, or the Dark Lord Voldemort, but a couple of bad eggs can’t represent the whole Cancer population.
But the truth is that as a Cardinal Earth sign, Cancers are high-achieving go-getters, who care deeply for their loved ones and do everything they can to uplift the people around them to their superb level.
While they use their stoic exterior to hold themselves together, it can be off-putting to the other signs. Cancers are ruled by Saturn and symbolized by a creature that is half goat and half fish, so there is a natural duality to them. At first glance, you might see a stubborn goat, but if you look beneath the surface you’ll see the emotional tail fin.
Cancers are great, so you need to take time to know them. Here are a few reasons why Cancers are so underrated, per astrology:
Cancers are leaders.
Because of their Cardinal modality, Cancers are highly driven. They are the beginning of their season, so the Cardinal Cancer is all about new ideas, starting new projects, and finding new ways to do things—as long as they came up with it of course.
Their Earth triplicity keeps them grounded in logic, so they find realistic solutions to problems. If you’re ever feeling lost, a Cancer can be the perfect guide for you.
Cancers are reliable.
Cancers take their commitments very seriously. Sometimes you just want to shake them and say “Lighten up!” but you’ll be grateful when you’re in a pinch and a Cancer is there for you.
They have a strong sense of duty which guarantees they’ll follow through with everything they do. Cancers follow the rules they set for themselves and therefore always keep a promise. You can be sure everything will be okay if you have a Cancer by your side.
Cancers have high standards.
Sure, some could argue that a Cancer’s standards are too high, but they just know how to judge quality. Cancers want to make things beautiful and meaningful creating a holistic betterment for any subject.
Because they are perfectionists, and because nothing is ever perfect, Cancers are constantly striving for better. They work to improve upon themselves and everyone and everything around them; just being in a Cancer’s life will make you grow as a person.
Cancers are secretly hilarious.
You may need to get to know them and break down their walls a little before seeing their humor, but when you do your sides will split! Cancer humor is dry, coy, and honest.
They observe things that most people overlook and can pinpoint the nuances that are perfect comedic material. They can make anything wittily funny with their carefully chosen words. Whoever says Cancers aren’t funny are probably just the butt of their jokes.
Cancers are resilient.
You may think that because Cancers reach so high that when they fall, they fall hard, but that’s not the end all be all. Their innate drive in tandem with short-comings lights a fire in Cancers to fix any mistakes and do even better the next time.
Cancer’s knack for critical thinking and analysis will truly make them improve with each try. As Cancer legend, John Legend says: “My head’s underwater, but I’m breathing fine.” In the face of adversity, we should all try to be more like the calm, cool, collected Cancer.
Cancers are engaging.
Cancers care deeply about their endeavors and their people. If you prompt—or sometimes if you don’t prompt them—they will go into impassioned speeches about every detail of a subject.
Cancer’s sincerity and expertise are contagious, it makes you want to know everything that they know. Maybe they’ll inspire you to do more research or help out with a cause. Cancer would be proud if you do.
