Zodiac signs have always been a controversial topic for many, but for those of us who are willing to give them a chance, it can open up a whole new world of inner understanding.
My zodiac sign is Cancer and by star personality definition, this means that I’m nurturing, emotional, and have quite the imagination. These traits are actually true in my case, however to other Cancers, not so much. In fact, according to my friends, I’m actually more of a Gemini. The reason? Gemini is actually my Rising Sign. The Rising Sign is how others portray you. So in my case, even though I was born a Cancer, I outwardly show the characteristics of a Gemini: extraverted, fashionably bold, and talkative.
