They will try to camouflage this vulnerability with modesty and shyness. Although they are not very talkative, Cancer people cannot bear loneliness. They feel the constant need to interact with the world in order to feel safe. 3
Too focused in the past and future, Cancer tend to forget about the present. That is why their loved ones believe they have lost touch with reality. They can even neglect, or even run away from, their responsibilities and obligations. Their being stubborn and obstinate can sometimes make them capricious and whimsical.

This animal symbolizes elegance and nobility. Like people born under the sign of Cancer, the Swan also represents valor and courage. But Cancer may also be re presented by a cat. Many similarities can be found between cat and Cancer. The cat symbolizes balance and vigilance, which paradoxically echoes the prudence and quest for stability of Cancer people. Just like Cancer, cat represent patience, courage and freedom. 5
A MINERAL If Cancer were a mineral, they would surely be a Crystal. This very precious mineral symbolizes purity and clairvoyance. The transparency of the Crystal allows it to be both visible and invisible. This ambivalence represents the character of Cancer to be both shy and open to the world. Cancer can also be associated with the pearl. The pearl is a mineral symbolizing wealth and perfection, but above all femininity. The pearl has always played a very important role in the life of humankind. In some cultures and civilizations, it was best known for its medicinal, gynecological and funereal properties.

Cancer And Compatibility With Other Signs Although Cancer and Aries do not see life in the same way, they can certainly build a solid friendship. Aries is a person overflowing with energy, unlike Cancer who is more serene and prefers to stay in a kind of comfort zone. Aries have the ability to share their dynamism with Cancer, without rushing them, so that they can be a little more open to the world around them. Cancer and Taurus share the same interests, especially concerning a taste for nostalgia. They are more likely to get along than with other signs. Whether on a friendly or professional level, Cancer and Taurus are loyal 6
partners who often manage to implement and undertake joint projects. Cancer has a harder time maintaining a good relationship with Gemini. The instability of Gemini people is not at all compatible with the tranquility and balance the Cancer wants to create. Relationships between Cancer and Gemini are also excessively based on superficial matters. This kind of relationship will have difficulties to flourish in the long term. Between Cancers, friendly and professional relationships are more harmonious, because they are made to get along, each being particularly sympathetic to the needs of the other. A collaboration between Cancers based on trust and mutual respect is sure to lead to success and the realization of joint projects. The relationship between Cancer and Leo is particularly complex. Cancer is governed by the Moon while the Leo is governed by the Sun. These are 2 completely opposite signs. This difference is reflected mainly in the field of work. They will find it difficult to agree on certain points and to try and find common ground. The relationship between Cancer and Virgo is less passionate. In fact, they have almost no common points and have totally different visions of life. This is why both signs are unlikely to develop a lasting relationship. But no conflict is likely because each will tend to avoid the other. Cancer is particularly fond of Libra. People born under the sign of Libra are naturally pleasant in life and extremely sympathetic. These two signs can expect to share many good times. On a professional level, they will make very good teammates motivated by a common goal. Relations between Cancers and Scorpios are a rough ride. Even though they are both Water signs, Cancers and Scorpios cannot agree on anything. The argument-making up-argument cycle is likely to be repetitive. This kind of relationship ends up being annoying after a while. The Cancer-Sagittarius relationship is emotionally rewarding. Whenever these two signs are together, a certain joie de vivre and a good atmosphere emerge. This harmony ends up creating a special connection between 7
them over time. However, on a professional level, everyone knows how to be serious. They are perfectly aware that when they are at work, common interests take precedence over friendship. Cancer get along perfectly with Capricorn and share common interests with them. The main problem between them is a lack of communication. This is something that needs to be improved to ensure a lasting friendly relationship. Even if disagreements arise, the key is for everyone to be understanding. Professionally, Aquarius is the ideal partner for Cancer. Very focused on the future, Aquarius will feel happy to discuss with the natives of Cancer. However, they do not always agree on all points. With a bit of tolerance and understanding, Cancer and Aquarius can accomplish great things together. Cancers and Pisces, both Water signs, are in perfect osmosis. Each knows how to listen to the other and knows how to be understanding. These are the main conditions that can guarantee a balanced, lasting relationship. The strength of these two signs is mainly based on their ability to communicate and be understood. 8
CANCER PERSONALITY Cancer In A Male Natal Chart The man Cancer is renowned for his wisdom. He is a well-educated, polite, courteous and respectful man. He knows how to make the right decisions and fully assumes his responsibilities and obligations. He tends to lecture his loved ones though, especially his family. If it does so, it is because he wants to fill the protector role towards his entourage. He is a man who has the particularity of being very understanding. Indeed, he is endowed with a great sense of how to listen. That s why his loved ones are used to turn to him in times of trouble. He knows how to comfort and raise the morale of people and above all does not hesitate to help when needed. A Cancer man is a very nostalgic person. He feels the constant need to recall his childhood and adolescence memories. He assumes that it is imperative to know where we come from and be aware of everything we have been through before knowing where we are going. This detour in the past allows him to regain his confidence and get himself together especially in some difficult times. He is also seen as a very discreet man, sometimes distant even. People say he s shy. But in reality, it is a false shyness that mainly hides some distrust towards other people. Indeed, it is hard for him to open up to people because very few people receive his trust. The restraint and caution he has shown are mainly the result of his need to protect his intimacy. Behind this cold and distant façade also hides a hypersensitive man. Cancer men are literally tough men with a tender heart. They are emotionally fragile 9
men who need to be reassured. Case in point, it is mainly this sense of emotional comfort he will try to look for in a relationship. A Cancer man is rather difficult to pin down. Although he is not very open with people, he feels the need to interact with the outside world. This is a man who cannot stand loneliness, because he quickly feels abandoned, forgotten, and rejected. Leaving him alone for a while could make him anxious, or even hysterical. But Cancer men don t just have positive qualities. They are also extremely demanding men. Even if they try to avoid conflicting relationships as much as they can, this does not prevent them from throwing temper tantrums when something does not suit them. This kind of behavior sometimes leads them to speak in a virulent or offensive way. Cancer In A Female Natal Chart Cancer women have great femininity. This can be reflected by their dress code, the way they express themselves, gestures or simply behavior. This is a woman confident about her sensuality and who can show her femme fatale side without complex. That said, even if eyes are drawn to her, she keeps a kind of simplicity. Never yielding to any excess, she knows how to maintain balance and stability in her life. On an emotional side, Cancer women are more discreet. They are rather reserved and want to preserve their privacy. They are particularly cautious in their choices and decisions. She has a close connection to family feelings. Indeed, a Cancer woman finds happiness with members of her own family, whom she trusts completely. Her family guarantees her a certain form of security that allows her to flourish and unveil her full personality. She is not only a loving wife, but also a devoted mother who wants to give her best to make her children happy. A Cancer is an open-minded woman. That s why she usually has a lot of friends and acquaintances. Meeting new people allow her to improve herself both culturally and intellectually. She doesn t like to judge others, 10
because she is naturally tolerant and understanding. This is a woman who knows how to be attentive and generous to her loved ones, but especially to her family. For her, all relationships must be based on mutual exchange and especially on sharing. She takes a liking to give things away without necessarily waiting for something in return. What drives her is above all the feeling of having pleased her loved ones by giving the best of herself. A Cancer woman is also a woman with overflowing imagination. She tends to focus all her fantasy side into creation. She also has a penchant for artistic creation. Despite her dreamy side, she is not the kind of woman to lose focus or lose touch with reality. A Cancer woman is a serious and orderly woman, with a keen sense of organization. But her need to put everything in order and organize everything leads her to be considered as too perfectionist. The main flaw of the Cancer woman is her naïve side. She is easily influenced because it is ready to believe anything that she is told. She can also be fickle and temperamental sometimes when she does not get what she wants. 11
WHAT KIND OF LOVER IS CANCER? Cancer Men In Love Cancer men have their own conception of seduction. Far from being womanizers, Cancer are rather a discrete seducers. In fact, he they would rather take some time to know and to tame a potential partner. Moreover, they are the kind of admiring men who are easily impressed by small tokens of love. What Cancer are looking for, especially in a couple, is someone faithful. Cancer is the most faithful sign of the zodiac. He does not think about a possible breakup, especially after marriage. According to him, respect and mutual trust are the only conditions that guarantee balance and stability in a couple. A love relationship between a Cancer man and the Fire signs may turn to drama. Aries women are too eager for his tastes. For him, lasting relationships in love must be built over time. The opposition that exists between him and a Leo will prevent him from maintaining a stable relationship in love. Sagittarius tend to be too independent or too unpredictable for Cancer men. With Earth signs, Cancer is more likely to find true love. With a Taurus woman, he feels particularly reassured. They share the same goals, allowing them to maintain balance and stability in their couple. A Virgo woman on the other hand will be more complementary to the character of a Cancer man. A relationship Cancer and Capricorn is also more harmonious. Cancer men and Air signs are not really made to develop relationships. Indeed, the fleeting character of Gemini women does not suit them at all. It is the same for Libra women who, according to them, have manipulative tendencies. Aquarius women are too bold to be a match for a shy Cancer. 12
Finally between Water signs, relationships are made to last. Cancer men and women are made to understand one another, because they share almost the same living doctrines. Cancer men are mostly drawn to the sensitivity and vulnerability of the Pisces women. He is particularly fond of the sensuality of Scorpio women. Cancer Women In Love Cancer women have a simple vision of love. They are romantics who have a hard time to admit it. Indeed, even if they are particularly sweet and sentimental, they are not the kind of women to maintain an inflamed and passionate relationship with their companion. What they are looking for is a stable and balanced relationship based on trust and respect. For them, the ideal partner is a kind and caring man, able to meet their needs and sometimes their whims. The physical presence of their companion is of paramount importance, because these women need affection and warmth to feel loved. That is why it will be difficult to imagine maintaining a long distance relationship. They mainly want a man who can understand and share the same values as they do. Fire signs will have a hard time meeting the expectations of Cancer women. Aries men who are more instinctive and spontaneous won t necessarily feel comfortable alongside a more down to earth Cancer woman. Sagittarius men will have to work on their understanding to consider a stable relationship with them. On the other hand, a Leo man, more caring, will have a greater chance to woo the heart of a Cancer woman. A Cancer woman will feel more reassured in the arms of the Earth signs. Indeed, she might consider a lasting relationship with a Taurus man who shares the same interests and the same visions as her. She can also count on a Virgo man who can show seriousness and maturity in their love relationship. Even if they do not have much in common, a Cancer woman will appreciate a Capricorn for their understanding side. Cancer women and Air signs have vastly different conceptions of the relationship. A Cancer woman will soon tire of a Gemini man who relies too 13
much on the surface on the sentimental side. The many disagreements between a Cancer woman and a Libra man risk ending in a possible breakup, barring any understanding. The more independent Aquarius man will find it difficult to feel like himself alongside the more demanding Cancer woman. With Water signs, love relationships are much more stable. Cancer men and women are more likely to maintain a long-term relationship since they share not only the same taste, but also the same objectives. A Cancer woman can feel reassured alongside a Scorpio man who knows how to be protective. A tender and caring Pisces man, meanwhile, will know how to get a Cancer woman to like him.
