Cancer and Sagittarius personalities
Cancer
As the homebody of the zodiac, Cancers take pride in making people feel at ease — but they don’t let everyone into their inner circle. Luckily, once they trust someone, they’re in for good. Cancers’ intuition is their compass; they might not know why they feel a certain why, but they know to trust their guts. Cancers are deep feelers and are in search of relationships that give their lives meaning. In terms of friendship, Cancers will always support those they love — even taking on the emotional baggage of their besties. They don’t need words to know what’s goin on.
Sagittarius
Sagittarians are exceptionally fun and always up for a good laugh. They’re socially active, which makes sense: They’re usually instantly beloved and welcome in any room they find themselves in. While they generally skew happy-go-lucky, they still have that temper that characterizes fire signs. This temper flares when they meet someone close-minded, mean or negative. They love getting lost in a new area of interest or a conversation. Sometimes, this makes them easily distracted, but their confidence usually masks their lack of clarity.
