Cancer 21st June to 22nd July

Cancer personality

Cancers like to be indispensable. They have an overwhelming desire in all aspects of their lives to feel loved and appreciated to develop a sense of security and identity. Cancers are also very sensitive, because they have developed thick armor that helps them cope with changes in the world. They can be quite deep and mysterious, and their outward appearance hides their deep feelings. They don't like to show too much of themselves and are therefore quite indirect in the way they communicate. They think it is important to feel safe and comfortable; you will often find a Cancer house hospitable and cozy.

The Cancer in a relationship

When it comes to love, Cancers can be very loving. They are not likely to enter into a relationship because they need to be sure of themselves before exposing their feelings. But once they fall in love, they remain very much in love and take their relationship very seriously. They are looking for a loved one with whom they can build a safe home. Therefore, they are very committed lovers and expect their loved ones to be the same. Infidelity is one of a Cancer's worst nightmares. They should feel loved and will feel depressed if they feel neglected by their partner. Some Cancers may struggle with dependency problems.

The Cancer in friendship

Maintaining friendships can be problematic for Cancers simply because they care so much about their friends. On the one hand, they are loyal and ready to help when needed, but on the other hand, they don't like to be overlooked by their friends. They can feel very pained by friends who don't want to spend time with them anymore. Most of Kreeften's friendships will work well, however.

The Cancer at work

In their careers, Cancers can have trouble finding the right working environment. They can even go from job to job because of their tendency to change their minds and their desire for creativity. However, they are very hard workers and when they have a job they are usually one of the hardest working and most reliable colleagues. Cancers do not feel at home in leadership positions if there is no micro-management. Because their strength lies in caring for others, Cancers are very suitable to work in a service-oriented or non-profit field.

Male Cancer

A male Cancer is a complex individual; very sensitive, shy and overly protective of his loved ones. He is an emotional person, who likes to take care of other people. He wants to feel necessary and protective, encouraged by lots of attention and sweet words and subtle compliments from his partner. Although he can be moody, pessimistic and affectionate, he is a creative and generous partner looking for someone to share a life with.

Female Cancer

Female Cancers are fragile, emotional, and unlikely to fall in love anytime soon. However, once their trust is earned, they will be passionate and loyal. To seduce her, you have to be proactive and take the first step, respecting her need to be treated like a lady. She is not the right choice for someone looking for a one-night stand and needs more from her partner than just casual encounters. To have a long-term relationship with a Cancer woman, she needs someone who is faithful, respectful, and honest.

The best partners for Cancer

The best matches for Cancer are Taurus, Scorpio and Virgo. Both Cancer and Taurus have a shared need to share a sense of security when it comes to the important aspects of their lives. Both zodiac signs are sensitive and considerate to their loved ones, making for a lasting love match. Cancer's natural possessive tendency helps a Scorpio to feel safe and wanted. The passionate Scorpio, in turn, encourages the Cancer to come out of its shell. A Virgo Cancer match has enormous care capacity. Virgos as well as Cancer are zodiac signs that love taking care of their loved ones. They are also good at communicating with each other, although a Virgo always speaks from a practical point of view and Cancer is more emotional.
