29 Tell-Tale Signs You're A True Cancer

It seems that lately, a lot of people have been talking about their Zodiac sign.

They're everywhere from Buzzfeed quizzes that promise to tell you what kind of ice cream topping you are based on your "star sign" to articles indicating what other signs you're best compatible with based on the characteristics of your own.

For a while, I didn't think much about my Zodiac sign and how it corresponds with my personality, but after a little bit of research into what other Cancer signs are like, I realized that everything about my star sign describes me to a T. Surely, no two Cancer signs are exactly alike, but for the majority of us, here are 29 signs you're a true Cancer:

1. You're all about home.

2. ...meaning you're 150% a homebody with NO shame in the fact.

3. You're caring and passionate, which sometimes doesn't work in your favor.

4. You're usually the "mom" of your friend group because of your nurturing nature.

5. You wear your heart on your sleeve with pride.

6. You can be SUPER emotional, even over the silliest of things.

7. Your family and friends are your first priority at all times.

8. You're exceptionally moody at times.

9. ...especially when you're jealous.

10. You LOVE getting your way.

11. You're quick to retreat into your shell at the slightest bit of confrontation.

12. ...which is why Cancer's Crab mascot suits you perfectly.

13. You have a tough exterior but are super soft on the inside.

14. You vary between being dependent on others and extremely independent.

15. ...and when you do depend on others, it's usually for emotional reasons.

16. You make a good companion for others who can adapt well to your varying moods.

17. You're loyal AF.

18. You're always the first to laugh and the first to cry.

19. ...in fact, your tear ducts have a mind of their own.

20. You're strong-willed and let nothing stand in your way.

21. You'll do anything to protect your loved ones.

22. You're sympathetic, sometimes to a fault.

23. You value a sense of security.

24. ...and may even be great with your money.

25. You value your alone time.

26. Everyone turns to your for help because they know you're always willing to lend a hand.

27. ...though you tend to get overwhelmed easily.

28. You're not a fan of change.

29. But, at the end of the day, you're always able to trust your gut, and what's better than that?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
