Cancer & Romance

Cancer subjects are emotional individuals, possessed of great depth and endowed with a dreamy, imaginative quality which makes any love affair more of a romantic interlude than a physical attraction. Cancer individuals can be swept off their feet by love, but are quite capable of marrying wisely and putting earlier, less suitable sweethearts completely out their minds when the time comes to choice of a partner. Basically, Cancer natives possess a great deal of sex appeal. They are blessed with definite charm and often attract others without realizing it. Cancer persons are usually totally unaware of the effect they might be having on the opposite sex and thus, are frequently considered to be heart-breakers. Although emotional, these can sometimes be quite unsympathetic souls when it comes to the problems of others...not so much from coldness, but more due to the inherent desire of Cancer subjects to protect themselves from unnecesary danger. At such times, those born under the Sign of Cancer are grateful for the tough outer shell associated with the crab which guards the soft center, tending to scuttle away from any romantic showdown.
In love, Cancer natives are prone to be tactless and unaware of the needs of the other partner until attention is drawn to the fact. Nevertheless, these individuals are most certainly full of good intentions and would never intentionally hurt another. It is important for those governed by Cancer to learn that happiness comes from within. Such individuals suffer much from relatives and friends...their sicknesses or their problems. Although Cancer is basically healthy and independent of spirit, he or she is often in touch with the troubles of life through others...despite the tendency of Cancer to run away. If a Cancer individual should happen to associate with the wrong partner, then it is likely to result in a very unhappy state of affairs for a long time since Cancer natives rarely have the courage to admit they are wrong. On the other hand, if they find the right partner, then success, contentment and fulfillment will invariably follow as a natural course of events. When attracted to the opposite sex, Cancer persons tend to drop subtle clues rather than being overtly forward. Somewhat old-fashioned in beliefs, the perfect date in the mind of a Cancer would be theater tickets, a dimly-lit, secluded restaurant or cultural event. Being romantic day-dreamers, Cancer individuals reflect on the past and will show an interest in personal stories, particularly with a view to relating some of their own. It is necessary for any prospective partner to show an acute interest in such sentimentality when old pictures and such other items are brought out for display.

In the matters of the heart, those who fall under the jurisdiction of Cancer demand total devotion. In return, they will constantly cherish and protect the chosen mate. Any partner who can provide Cancer with an enormous amount of attention and constant reasurrance will have found the perfect mate in this Sign. The rewards for such a union will be affection, romance and sympathy, together with a very healthy dash of seduction thrown into the mix. It should be noted, however, that emotional and financial security is of the utmost importance in any Cancer relationship. Cancer natives are vigorously adverse to frivolous spending which, to them, symbolizes a loss of control and security. Since those ruled by Cancer possess excellent memories and are prone to jealousy, they recall past situations very easily and it would be a tremendous mistake to ever be insincere to a Cancer subject. This would be perceived as betrayal and it often takes Cancer natives a very long time to forgive and forget...in fact a Cancer subject may never actually forget at all. Once wounded in such an emotional sense, there will likely be something of a void in the relationship for evermore.

In brief summary, if in a solid and secure relationship, Cancer

Cancer & cancer
http://www.novareinna.com/constellation/cancerrelation.html<BR> In this combination, both partners will be sensitive, sympathetic, emotional and moody. Feelings will run deep and everything will be taken personally. Cancer natives are family oriented individuals and prefer the home to any other location. Thus, both will be clannish and creative, taking an avid interest in gardening, cooking and other similar activities. Since there will be much in common between these two, there will almost certainly be an intuitive understanding of each other. In general, this will be a comfortable and easy relationship, but moodiness may prove to be something of a problem. No Cancer ever feels totally secure and since only another Cancer could ever sufficiently understand this and sympathize, such a combination will easily be able to run a house or earn money. In addition, there is not likely to be any objection to the switching of traditional roles or in taking turns to accomplish what is necessary. However, it is vital that the Cancer/Cancer combination not keep secrets from one another...frequent heart-to-heart conversations will do much to clear the air.

Since both partners by nature possess deep feelings for (and sentimental attachments to) the past, home and family, if the backgrounds happen to be very different, then this could present more of a problem for this particular pairing than for any other combination of the Zodiac, the reason being that identification with origins are so very strong in the Cancer character. Basically, however, this will be a loving yet intensely emotional domestic relationship. In short, this pairing makes for a deeply devoted couple who will be endlessly loyal to each other. Both will find great comfort and satisfaction in their underlying committment to one another...a faithful and caring relationship where each partner will be helpful and sympathetic of the other's needs. They will both be very oriented toward making a home and creating a sense of family.

Perhaps the gravest danger here will be the ability (or inability) to overcome the inherent brooding, manipulative and self-pitying habits inherent in the Cancer make-up. Nevertheless, if a way can be found to keep the fluid and moody emotions of both partners in check, then this relationship will be a very nurturing one. It is, however, important that both it is not a personal slight if one requires some time alone and apart from the other. The prognosis for a long-lasting relationship is excellent...but may prove to be a difficult one to initiate since the inherent shyness of Cancer could well prevent either individual from ever making the first move.
