If you were born between June 21 and July 22 your zodiac sign is Cancer  which is ruled by the Moon and presented by the crab. Deeply intuitive and sentimental Cancer can be one of the most challenging zodiac signs to get to know. They are very emotional sensitive and care deeply about matters of the family and their home. Cancer is sympathetic and attached to people they keep close. Those born with their Sun in Cancer are very loyal and able to empathise with other people's pain and suffering. Thanks to their heightened sensitivity and empathy  Cancers are prone to changeable moods pessimism suspicion lack of confidence and weakness against manipulations.

With all that said let's check out what careers would be the best fit for this zodiac sign.

Nutritionist

Fun fact: the crab governs the area of the stomach so a pathway in diet nutrition or culinary professions are a natural fit. Not only are Cancers deeply connected to their eating digestion and food intake but they get a lot of satisfaction in connecting and helping others too making nutrition a great field to work in. Crabs enjoy taking care of themselves and educating others about nourishment. Similar career options that would also be suitable are recipe developers fitness instructors life coaches or a gym owners.

Social Worker

Another great career option for Cancer is social work. Since this sign is known as being compassionate supportive and protective they could thrive and make personal benefit while helping others. It is important to note that Cancerians in this profession may need to keep certain aspects of their personality in check. At times their nurturing tendencies can become overbearing and controlling so they’ll need to learn when to take a step back.

Architect

It's no secret that crabs love their homes it's their sacred space and they love the time spent at home enjoying with their loved ones. This passion is well conveyed into architecture and creating warm comfortable and inviting spaces. In addition to their love of the home architecture will allow a Cancer to utilise their imagination along with their creativity making this a perfect path. 

In this occupation they would see the responsibility of designing a client’s dream home as a privilege. They would ensure that safety and security were a top priority and work with great care and attention.

Interior Designer

If Cancers had a motto it would be "home sweet home" - and that takes us to the next career possibility which is interior design. Cancerians are happiest when working independently but are open to direction; they have a sixth sense when it comes to understanding what others want. They are also drawn to roles that require creativity and allow them to affect positive change.

All of this combined makes interior design a great career option for Cancers. Their organisational and money-management skills will enable them to work with both the timeframe and budget creating aesthetic and harmonious environments. Similar options would be home staging home inspector or real estate developer. 

Nurse

By now we've all figured that jobs that involve help empathy and connection work well for Cancers due to their caring nature and healing abilities. Thanks to their caregiving traits most Cancers will thrive in this supporting occupation. However they should also choose their specialist area with caution. Those born under this sign are known to form emotional attachments to those in their care and deeply feel the effects of tragedy.

While horoscopes shouldn’t be the basis of any SUPER MAJOR life decisions, matching your horoscope to aspects of Your Daily life such as job selection can be fun, inspiring and thought-provoking. It can be a really useful starting point in conjunction with other more serious resources and career research.
