Cancer
is
the fourth sign of the zodiac. Yours is the sign of emotion, sensitivity and
sympathy. The Cancer is the most sensitive of all the zodiac signs. This sign,
more than any other, is also very domestic.
Cancers are known for being very complex and often difficult to understand due
to their mood swings. One minute they can be cranky and combative and the next
they are the sweetest most caring individuals.
Cancers have a highly developed instinct for self-defense that protects them
from their inner vulnerability and shyness. Like a Crab's shell, their
personalities often project a tough exterior within which they can retreat to.
When hurt, Cancers often withdraw and sulk. They have perfected this tactic.
Cancers can be extremely stubborn and child-like and they do not usually give in
until they get their way.
But underneath lies a softer side, a gentle, sensitive and emotional interior.
Cancers are by nature caring and protective. Their maternal instincts lead them
to form life-long bonds and not just with family members, but anyone they come
to care about deeply. Their main drive in life is to establish domestic security
for themselves and for those around them. Cancers desire wealth but only as a
means to achieve this stability and to have money for a rainy day. They are very
fond of the past and are very aware of their family lineage.
Their great sensitivity makes the Cancer almost impossible to deceive. They have
their own way of doing things. Like a Crab's walk, their direction is often
sideways and ambiguous, but they always seem to reach their goals. If they can
learn to temper their moodiness, Cancers can guide themselves into positive
directions. If one can learn to deal with their mood swings, they can be loyal
and devoted allies at work or at play.
The Cancer tends to be moody, domestic, family oriented, sensitive and emotion
Love
with the Cancer...
The complex Cancer craves love and security. They are very faithful and
protective of the ones they come to love. The perfect mate for the Cancer
is one who is willing to take things slow and easy. The Cancer needs to
feel appreciated and secure. A partner who can spoil the Cancer is the one
who will win their heart. The Cancer tends to be moody and maybe even a
little jealous at times but that is only their way of asking for more attention.
The Cancer seeks honesty and commitment when it comes to a relationship and it
is important that the Cancer find a partner who is able to commit to them fully.
The Cancer is very family-oriented and seeks a secure "nest" where
they can feel at home and safe. The Cancer is very passionate and can
drive it's mate to new heights where love is concerned.
