Cancer THE CRAB - the sign of the Protector
Like a crab, Cancerians have a hard exterior and a sensitive and soft inner core. Their view of life is coloured by their feelings and emotions and their relationship with loved ones and family. Cancerians have a strong sense of history and ancestry and have powerful connections to the past and their memories.

Advice for Partners & Friends
A good idea - to honour a Cancerian's family traditions and know they they are not always going to show their feelings when hurt.
Not so useful - to be insulting and insensitive about their mothers, as a Cancerian will hang on and bear a grudge for ages.
We love you at your Best ...
Cancerians are wonderful to be around and can be great company, amusing and able to tell stories and jokes. They have an instinctive understanding of human relationships and are great to help sort out problems and be a shoulder to cry on. Sensitive, kind and sympathetic, with an absolute urge to nurture and protect people around them, particularly the family.
Kind, sensitive, sympathetic, imaginative, maternal/paternal, solicitous, protective, cautious, patriotic, tenacious, shrewd, thrifty, resourceful, a good homemaker.
.... Difficult to Live With!
Cancer has the ability to take an emotional wound and allow it to fester, without the desire to necessarily talk through and be open. Sometimes, Cancerians will expect the the person who inflicts emotional wounds to know exactly what ails them and a relationship can turn into a guessing game punctuated by long periods of silence and sulking, or a retreat into their shell. Watch out for the mood changes.

Cancer is the protective, caretaking force of the Zodiac. He soothes and consoles, understands and nurtures. Whatever lies within his territory is kindly and generously protected, with a fierce tenacity......children, home, friends, allies and possessions. Anyone who disturbs the close circle of Cancer's home will get pinched!
The Cancer is a sensitive soul whose protective nature extends to his own carefully guarded feelings. Cancer needs to feel strong, because he is responsible for so much and so many. Any assault on his personal strength, character or integrity is considered a serious threat, and he may hide, or turn and fight with bitter words.
Because the Cancer has a very deep intuition into the feelings and motives of others, he may detect hostility that is not readily apparent to others, or that is intentionally hidden. You may see or hear him strike out at a seemingly innocent person, but Cancer knows very well what lies beneath the surface.
Cancer is sometimes called touchy and sensitive. There is much behind this sensitivity. Ruled by water, he is an imaginative, creative, flowing and maternal person. Cancer enjoys all things related with caring for others - cooking, tending to young ones, decorating, teaching, healing, and gathering food. The Ocean has a special calling to Cancer, and his moods change with the phases of the Moon. Cancer can be gruff and crabby, or a silly lunatic, but most importantly, he can always be counted on to love unconditionally and to care for his loved ones with all his heart.
His kisses are warm and tender, and you never want to let them go.
Personality Insights into Gift Giving for Cancer
Cancer rules the House of Home, which makes the Crab in your life fun to buy presents for. Slippers, photo albums, a cookbook, or any gift that they can enjoy in their home, or which will improve it, will be a huge hit. It's not just the home that Cancer people focus on - family is important too. How about a family tree software? Cancer is a water element, which means they are quite emotional. Sentimental gifts are key so something home-made that represents your relationship will touch your Crab deeply. Cancers also have a strong association with food (Cancer rules the stomach), so anything to do with cooking, be it lessons or gift baskets, will be appreciated.
Suggestions for the perfect gift:
chocolates, books, a gift certificate to Home Depot, a sweat suit, a food basket, a photo album, a diary or journal, a cookbook, a BBQ, family tree software, a gift certificate to Blockbuster Home Video, a gift certificate to a kitchen shop, a spa treatment, an aquarium with tropical fish
Do ...
... treat your Cancer to a home cooked meal, or pick them flowers from your garden.
... focus on them -- they need the attention -- and appreciate the tokens of material security.
... learn to enjoy quiet, private evenings at home. They will show you how fulfilling these times can be.
... remember and commemorate 'special days,' such as Valentine's Day and the anniversary of your first date.
... enjoy their nurturing nature -- they will protect you from the harsh world on all the other days of the year.
... be a caring companion and an emotional ballast. Your Cancer will shower you with love and emotion.
... show your Cancer how much you appreciate the emotional richness of your life together.
... open your heart -- they will show you how to give and receive emotionally, trust completely and find true security in a relationship.
Don't ...
... make fun of your Cancer, even if you think you're being gentle. They will take you seriously, and could get very hurt or angry.
... let yourself be influenced by this Sign's mood swings. Your Cancer will take you on an emotional roller coaster that will leave your head spinning!
... expect to be the boss of a Cancer; they won't be stepped on. Emotional Cancer has definite ideas of what they want, and can be a bit manipulative when it suits them.
... be too pushy at first or too rough later on. Your Cancer will lash out or shrink away from this kind of treatment. Cancers prefer to be petted or adored.
... ever, ever treat family matters lightly or flippantly. Your Cancer may determine that you undervalue loved ones and domestic life, both of which Cancer holds dear.

Short Summary
Cancers are cute. They pretend to be tough but it's all an act. They have great memories and lots of them are good at history. They love anything old, like museums, antiques and your grandmother. They are fairly secretive and hide things - food in their drawers and cupboards for instance. They stay pretty close to home, are extremely psychic, have a great sense of humour and are the world's best cooks. They collect things. Other people call this garbage but to them it's gold...you'd never find a Cancerian throwing a garage sale.
Long Summary
Cancerians look for security on the one hand and adventure and novelty on the other. They are popular because they really listen to what others are saying. Their own voices are attractive too. They are naturals for sales work and in any kind of advisory capacity. Where their own problems are concerned, they can disappear inside themselves and brood, which makes it hard for others to understand them. Cancerians spend a good deal of time worrying about their families and, even more so, about money. They appear soft but are hard to influence.Many Cancerians are small traders and many more work in teaching or in the caring professions. They have a feel for history, perhaps collecting historical mementoes, and their memories are excellent. They need to have a home but they love traveling away from it, being happy in the knowledge that it is there waiting for them to come back to. There are few Cancerians who seem to drift through life and expect other members of their family to keep them.
Romantically, they prefer to be settled and they fear being alone. A marriage would need to be really bad before they consider leaving and if they do, they soon look for a new partner. These people can be scoundrels in business because they hate parting with money once they have their hands on it. However, their charm and intelligence usually manage to get them out of trouble.

Cancers love a kind relationship but tend to seek the opposite sometimes. They fall for people who get them out of their shell, but in the end the go back into it. To be with a cancer u have to be very understanding.They can be unpredictable, eccentric,moody. Alot of cancers are artistic, emotional. They love things like music that bring out that side in them. They like to be very touchy when it comes to the bedroom, love hugging kissing,massaging,holding,stroking, looking deep in the eyes to make a connection. Space is important to them, they love being in their home or enviroment that suits them best .
