Due to the likelihood of this sign's overly emotional nature, it is known as the most complex member of the zodiac. It is not surprising that most individuals find it difficult when trying to get along with this erratic person, especially since their moods swing more than Tarzan in the jungle.
A good match for the Cancer woman is someone who can show compassion and understanding even in the face of this sign's defiant behaviour.
If she ever comes into conflict, her tools of the trade will be irony and scepticism. What matters most to a Cancer woman is her emotions. Matters of the heart rule above all else, which, in retrospect, can make it difficult for her to err on the side of rationality when the need arises.
Surprisingly, not many people pick up on the fact that she is a rather gentle-spirited individual. But at the same time, it is quite understandable, as she tends to keep almost everything to herself when it comes to her feelings.
This is also due to the fear of being hurt by her loved ones. Therefore, when there are signs of danger, she hides in her emotional refuge, away from those who might harm her.
For this female, there is no real love beyond the classic romance, full of grand gestures and gifts of affection and love letters meant to demonstrate undying passion. Although it may be difficult for the Cancer woman to end up in a deep and meaningful relationship with someone due to her nature, once she finds her soul mate, it is impossible to deny the loyalty, care and love she shows. Care and patience must be exercised, as it is easy to hurt this woman.
Faith is not something they put in others easily and it will take time for them to achieve it. However, once they achieve such a feat, rest assured that they will stick by their partner through thick and thin.
Although caution comes naturally to her, with the right person you can expect the spirit of adventure to take over and show you the wildest thrills this life has to offer. It will not be often that you will notice a Cancer woman in public, as most of the time they prefer to go unnoticed and blend in with the crowd.
Fortunately, as sceptical as they may be, Cancer women can be equally loving, caring and compassionate to those they care about, making them some of the fiercest family protectors. This quality is perfect for those looking to build a family and a home with someone.
Another peculiar trait is their strange appreciation for the past and history, which leads them to be quite collectors at times. Other zodiac signs that would have a great affinity with Cancer are the rest of the Water signs, as well as the Earth signs, as they tend to have similar emotional qualities.
The Cancer woman is generally a reclusive and introverted type, and will be in her own personal comfort bubble when in public. It is almost impossible to see her doing anything rash or careless.
In order for you to do things naturally, there must be a sense of security in your environment. This is especially important when it comes to romance and dating. Being so sensitive, she has developed an affinity for instinctive decision-making, often relying on gut feeling rather than overthinking.
As loving and compassionate as these women may be, you should be aware that their moods are as changeable as the winds. Unfortunately, you will not get any indication of this, for even she does not know the inner machinations of her own emotions.
To maintain a healthy relationship with someone like a Cancer woman, her partner must have great mental composure and should not take things so seriously.
Although she is intense, fiery and passionate, she prefers to indulge her sensual side in a private setting, at home.
This means that in public you will not see her flirting or making advances because of this nature of hers. Unfortunately, if your partner is of this type, she will find it difficult to deal with this aspect of her life. This is a concept that will play out her fears and shake her to her core.
Born under the sign of Cancer, these women tend to make all the right decisions when it comes to romance, especially because of their seemingly supernatural vision when it comes to this subject.
A great choice as a partner for a Cancer woman would be an individual who enjoys loving and affectionate moments and activities. Time spent together should be crucial to them, otherwise it won't work so well, so be prepared to cuddle a lot when you are with someone of this zodiac sign.
Besides romance, love in general takes priority over other aspects of life. Therefore, not only your partner, but also family and friends will take priority over everything else, making you perfectly suited to build a home and raise children with love.
Although from time to time she may wish to be treated differently from what her behaviour suggests, the Cancer woman will still be satisfied with her role in the family.
Romantic ties with these women tend to be calm, stable, and often directed towards long-term commitments, regardless of the ups and downs that their mood swings often cause.
It is essential that the bond with a Cancer woman be based on stability and calm. Since her emotions tend to be the driving force of her being, it is true that her feelings must come from love, serenity and peace so that she can more easily create a calm environment in which to thrive.
Although he is overly emotional, he can sometimes use his moodiness to his advantage, turning bitter moments into moments of joy and laughter. The best thing is that these scenarios are contagious, so he brings the party wherever he goes.
Diligent and motivated, she never gives up when she has a task at hand, especially when it comes to children and family. Which brings us to another aspect of her life that is totally important, which is building her own family.
If by chance the relationship you are in does not show the prospect of having children, then you could turn to saving animals and foster them for a while, if not permanently. You just have to know that their home must be full of care, serenity and love.
As long as everything is going well in the relationship, the Cancer woman can be one of the most affectionate and compassionate people.
However, if things take a turn for the worse, their personality can become quite dominant, replacing love and affection with cynicism and secretive behaviour.
Understanding and empathetic, she was blessed with the ability to help those around her, especially those she loves. As such, her partner will benefit from having someone who will always be there and understand her struggle. This, in fact, is also part of the maternal toolkit she was born with, which pushes her to fix things and help whenever there is a need.
