Cancer in Love

The Cancer attuned lover is the most sensitive and emotionally vulnerable. Because security is a real need for Cancer, commitments will be strong once they are made. However, Cancer may be slow to commit because the idea of rejection is abhorrent. Cancer needs to be wooed with kindness and gentleness.

The Cancer lover often comes with a predisposition to either be a mother or to want protection. You might get treated to lots of wonderful dinners and reminiscing about the past. Once Cancer is on the road to commitment, he will be possessive because security is such a large part of his consciousness. His penchant for security will make him a conscientious provider and loyal protector. If his security gets threatened, whether real or imaginary, Cancer will be moody and could even resort to some passive-aggressive criticism or martyr-like behavior. As long as he feels safe and secure, all is well.

Family ties and tradition are important to Cancer. Honoring the past and family ties as well as creating new family traditions will be part of his routine. He needs them for a “sense of place” in the world. The historian of the zodiac, Cancer remembers everything, including your worst, most insensitive moments. Make those as few as possible and you will enjoy unparalleled caretaking and loyalty.
