Don't mistake a Cancer for an underachiever -- they're working it as much and as well as the next person, albeit in a subtle, low-key manner. The Crab's sensitive nature is readily apparent in business dealings; they prefer a non-confrontational approach that protects themselves as well as those around them. Caution is the Cancer's byword; they are always ready to retreat into their handy shell.

The Crab likes to lead, and as long as these folks are comfortable with their proscribed duties and their colleagues, they will probably succeed. As long as their emotions can be kept in check, Cancer can create a space of harmony and happiness for all. This empathetic and intuitive quality also makes the Crab a natural nurturer, someone well-suited to the caregiver role, whether it's as teacher, healer or protector.

Those born under this Sign may not look like they're out to conquer the world, but in their own way, they're getting a lot of good done. Cancers are very creative and love family, qualities that can lead to bliss in the workplace if properly merged. Think of an art therapist or family counsellor, and you're talking the Crab's talk. A word of caution to co-workers: Don't cross the diligent Crab. Those pincers have some sharp claws!

The Cancer office feels for all the world like home, with a couch for napping, a teapot for fixing something warm and soothing and favourite mementoes all around. Crabs are the only ones who aren't clamouring for a spanking-new company car -- hey, that ten-year-old sedan just got comfortable! The office is the Crab's favourite place for a business lunch, although a homey neighbourhood spot is a close second.

Cancers are well-suited to be doctors, pharmacists, teachers, nutritionists, chefs, realtors -- any position in which they can feel truly useful.
