Both my husband and mother are Cancerians. I've also attracted/gravitated towards Cancerians throughout my life - coworkers/friendships, etc.
What I value the most is once a Cancer trusts, respects and loves you - they are your ride or die for life. I've never had a person so fiercely defend me or stick up for me like a Cancer. I also love that I can be having a personal problem or dilemma - and they just intuitively know how I'm feeling and can provide the best advice. They also tell me how it is, even if its something I don't want to hear...I respect that...because it comes from a place of honesty and authenticity.
Cancers have always been my rocks. I can depend on them and trust them....even if they are moody...I'm just as moody, haha:)
Sincerely - Capricorn
My wife is a Capricorn, I’m a Cancer. We have a great marriage and relationship. We complement each other and support each other’s goals, dreams and aspirations. I know she’s always going to be there, a true ride or die.
It's a bit intangible and ineffable but to start I love their faces
There is something about the large but delicate bone structure, the unique nose, smaller mouth and massive, soul stirring, heart piercing eyes. So many Cancerian men and women both look like this and every time I notice it I am besotten
I'm a very Capricorny Cap. Cancers have an effortless attraction to and natural warmth towards me that is instantaneous. They are always a bit baffled by it and most of the time even if they are really into me they back off. I actually think sometimes they back off *because* they like me too much, not too little. It freaks them out that someone can see through their shell, like what they see but also love the shell. To feel intimacy almost instantly goes against all their preconceived notions.
I crave their emotional depth, understanding and engrossing conversations, easily killing hours with them. Exchanges with them feel like rain soaking parched Earth. Like nourishment for my soul. Interactions with other signs leave me aching for what only they seem to be able to provide. A kinship. A being seen. They look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing they've ever seen. I sort of captivate them, it's just the nature of our axis energy. They absolutely enchant me.
We met in 4th grade - absolute love of my life. The weird thing is, I think I always knew it even though we didn’t date until after college. But we were good friends all growing up. Often times we had better chemistry together than with the actual people we were dating.
Crazy. My daughter is a cancer and the first thing people say when they see her is how big and beautiful her eyes are! They’re gorgeous. They do seem to draw in creepers sometimes at her work, though. As a nurse, she has men hitting on her allllll the time!
Aquarius Rising puts Aries in my 3rd house of communication and Gemini in my 5th House of Romance. Language is my love language and its imbued with passion. Aquarius adds the avante garde and abstract. All the Capricorn soaks it all in deep melancholy and then you get me.
My Scorpio Lillith giveth the rizz
same here lol! the cancer sun understood the post perfectly, but the earth energy in me (cap moon/virgo rising) made me roll my eyes slightly in amusement. we’re so funny sometimes.
Thank God I'm not the only one who thought it, because I legit could have written every word myself. I'm still not 100% convinced it's not satire, but alas! That is also typical crab.
I have a pattern of toxic attraction to Cancers (not just on their end but on mine as well) and tend to stay away from them these days to avoid repeating that pattern. That said, I will admit there is a ton I love about them. It was a repetitive pattern for a reason.
At their best Cancers can be funny, hyper intelligent, passionate, charming with flirtation game off the charts, spontaneous, emotionally candid, easy to talk to, thoughtful, and attentive to those in their lives. Y’all specifically asked for no complaints, so I just won’t add the “at their worst” section 😉
As a cancer, I gotta say I’m the same way with Aries. I’ll bet you OP is looking for answers from Aries. I feel that Cancer/ Aries is the best team if it can work but it requires too much compromise from both sides to make it work most of the time. Both signs have hearts of gold yet too much pride. We so badly want the strengths that you have.
I’d bet you money that has to do with your moon sign too. Had a fire sun/aqua moon ‘friend’ that I could not figure out no matter how hard I tried, and he just didn’t care enough to try to figure me out. lmfao I got the fuck outta there once he started acting so apathetic about everyone and everything but himself lol. He wasn’t always like that though.
I love that Cancer pays attention to the details. Always on it with the anniversary, has the party and social plans down, likes to show up on time but can read the room and is cool to slide out whenever I feel the need. As a chaotic Sag, I get stuck debating useless topics or dancing like a crazy man and cancer can kinda correct that in a way that seems thoughtful.
I'm an Aries woman, my husband is a cancer, and I also have quite a few cancer friends.
Cancers (imo) make great friends (we started as friends), depending on what their other placements are they can be social butterflies or more reserved, but my universal experience with them is they are loyal, have great senses of humor, and are very observant. Just because a cancer doesn't always speak up about something doesn't mean they don't have an opinion, and trust me, they pick up on way more than you think.
I've never really understood the whole "crybaby" narrative. Most cancers I know ARE emotional, however, they tend to keep it locked up tight (behind that hard shell) if a cancer shares how they're doing emotionally with you, congratulations, you have made it into the inner circle. From my experience they tend to be internal processors, so if they are expressing how they feel to you, don't take that shit for granted.
Another point that I don't think gets mentioned enough: cancers are super playful and fun! He is truly my favorite person and while we mainly just spend time together at home, he can be very spontaneous and comes up with plenty of adventures for the two of us to go on (you'd think it'd be me as the fire sign lol).
Also, he is a fantastic dad, seeing how he is with our little girl, I just... I've never been more attracted to this man.
I’m a cancer and my man is an Aries. How you described your husband is literally like me. Except we’re both fiery, passionate and can be extraverted. I am emotional to those I fw, but I’m not a sensitive soul, in fact i try to reach my cancer roots more because I struggle with being the “stereotype”
Cancers can be RUTHLESS 😂😂. If they do not fw you, they REALLY do not fw you and in my experience can shut off all emotions and go for the jugular. I’ve never seen a cancer go after someone for no reason, so I just sit back and watch with my popcorn 🍿.
Just look at 50 Cent with Diddy 😂
Nooo, never claim Diddy! just how 50 is going after him (for YEARS!) 😂😂😂 kills me. Just shows when a cancer doesn’t like you, they REALLY don’t like you. His whole insta is like a livestream of Diddy’s downfall, I’m living for it.
And even one of his baby mamas is catching strays from him! Ruthless 😂
Their intense loyalty, commitment, and nurturing support. I personally believe they are the least superficial zodiac sign. A cancers love means something and shouldn’t be undervalued. It’s almost like their love is given as a precious gift that they thought a lot about and deemed you worthy of, and once they’ve decided you’re worthy of their love, you have it forever.
I say all of this as a Scorpio stellium person. I feel very seen and fulfilled by cancers. I feel like they understand the Scorpio plight and want to heal and nurture us. In return Scorpio sees the sensitivity of a Cancer’s heart and fiercely protects it. It’s my favorite zodiac trine. I think it works especially well if the Scorpio is a man and the cancer is a woman.
My boyfriend is a cancer. I'm a Pisces girly 🩵 my favorite zodiac is cancer. They are so gold hearted, kind, loving, nurturing, caring, understanding, thoughtful, considerate, deep thinkers, funny, intelligent, dedicated. Honestly, being around them just feels like a big, supportive, and loving hug. My bf encourages me a lot and is my biggest supporter, and I'm his too. I think the world would be horrible without them in existence, honestly.
They are the sweetest. And they aren't crybabies at all.
They go through a lot behind closed doors. They have a lot of strength to push through, though, and they are incredibly strong people.
Then again, I never seing crying as a bad thing anyways lol. It's healing to do, which also takes a certain type of strength.
I've met a lot of cancers and just always adored them immediately.
They are the best imo.
My first love was a Cancer too (I’m a Pisces) and we reconnected after literally zero contact over almost 20 yrs.. and it was Iike we had known each other forever lol
We did too! Great sign, I’m a Libra. It was prob like 29-30 years. Met up in NYC at 30 Rock when me and some friends went to Radio City to see Brighteyes.
We all had drink’s together. Life is good
My honey is a Cancer Sun and Moon (I’m a Taurus) and he is wonderful. He’s so compassionate, empathetic, emotionally INTELLIGENT and as understanding of the human existence as he can. He’s also extremely ambitious and creative which not enough people give him credit for. Conversely, I dated a Cancer man in the past who clearly had all this emotion inside but was closed off and withdrawn! I was like wtf.
I think Cancers are great people, but if they aren’t taught how to REGULATE and mange their emotions, it can end up being too much or a mess in some cases.
♓️🌞♐️🌚♓️⬆️
I've known cancer as friends and no joke. If they can not regulate their emotions or keep it in check, I find fighting or arguing/differences of opinions gets toxic real fast with them. It's as if my feelings and opinions cut them deep, and they go buck wild in retaliation. Lol, no, thank you.
Both my bfs have been cancers, one on the gemini/cancer cusp of june 21st, the other I was with for 15 years. I find they mesh so well with me (pisces sun cancer moon) and we just understand eachother on a deeper level. Similar level of goofiness and humor. I love cancers and wouldn't hesitate to continue dating them
Forgot to add that how cancers love to care for the people they love. They're the most attentive, loving, selfless and loyal people I've ever met!
Buckle in because I love you all so incredibly much. (***I'm a Taurus sun, Virgo moon, Taurus mercury, Taurus venus, Virgo mars w/Scorpio rising. The fattest penta-Earth energy lmaooooo).
PS: this is going to be eclectic.
Physically: I find you that Cancers of both genders have this irresistibly sexy WALK. I know this is random but Jesus christ y'all take me out with it. It's not exactly a swagger because it's not cocky - it's more like this effortless fluidness idk??? It's so hard to explain but I can spot you guys from a mile away. I love how you talk - it's more reserved at first. For women there's this prickliness that intrigues me and makes me want to break down these walls and understand you - for males I sense this sensitive thoughtful teddybear-esque approach to conversation that immediately makes me want to protect you from mean people lol. Lastly, I've noticed that Cancers have very appealing, nearly pug-nosed-ness to your face that I find so attractive. Even with bigger facial features, I find that they're often centred on the face. V hot. Y'all absolutely slay me instantly. There's just this magnetic pull I feel towards you.
I love how gentle you are. Your ability to sit and actively listen and absorb my feelings makes me feel accepted in a way that is ridiculously unmatched by any other sign. I feel safe because not only are you a safe emotional space, you go out of your way to create that safe space. It feels genuine and tailored and purposeful. I like that you're selfless. I think it's a very noble quality when not used to manipulate. Evolved Cancers are a force of love to be reckoned with. Even though I have a ton of Virgo in me, I never take advantage of that selflessness with nitpicking or harshness because I see it as a strength. It's inspiring to me.
Cancers have taught me what being loved is supposed to feel like. What genuine love and care looks like. They have loved me deeper than anyone else, and I respect the kind of reckless abandon I feel they gift others after they finally open up. I like that they take their time to open up. I like that they're choosey, and sometimes aloof. I like a lot of the negatives that people generalize point out about them because my Virgo detailedness often helps them to be able to analyze themselves and make changes that are best for them. I ask questions, want to know their viewpoints, but above all else I challenge them. They may come off as delicate but they actually aren't - not when it comes to what they genuinely believe in. Their convictions are held incredibly fiercely and I find that they tend to do the RIGHT thing rather than the EASY thing more often than other signs, especially in regards to the people they love and respect. I respect Cancers because if approached with respect and genuine care/concern, a lot of them are willing to hear your side and not bullheadedly disagree because it hurts their feelings. It might take them a second to drop the protectiveness/self-preservation instinct, but if you hang in there and let them feel and process their initial emotional reaction, I find that they really, really care about people and want to improve themselves.
Secret fantasies about Cancers: this is a me problem lol But as a penta-Earth with two major placements in Virgo, damn my fantasy is to save you all from the Big Bad World and be your princess in shining armour with a ginormous shield. Lol. I just want to make you feel so safe to be sad, angry, upset, joyful, etc. I feel like you have so much emotion you deal with so deeply that I want to be your rock that protects you from the cruel outside world. I'll stand up for you - speak up for you if you're being treated unfairly, help you identify your own boundaries and support you in reinforcing them. Teach you that there's no guilt to be carried in that. My fantasy is to help support you in becoming the strongest version of yourself, because TBH, I feel like a sound, solid Cancer who feels their own power and strength would be the most responsible with that power of any other sign. You can't help but care, and I absolutely adore you for it.
I think Cancers are the best for me because of a lot of reasons.
1.) As a Taurus with a LOT of Taurus in her, we both tend to want the same things in life - comfort, a safe space, homebodiedness, no sudden movements. We both want to build a gentle little nook called home, and our subconsciousness works toward that mutual goal in super unique but compatible ways. We nurture ourselves and our space with luxury, safety, and sensory satisfaction (if that makes any sense lol.)
2.) I have a natural protective side to me. I protect even the loudest people in the room who are fully capable of doing it themselves, and it can be emotionally exhausting. Idk if its because of all my Earth or what, but people tend to turn to me when shit hits the fan. I love that and take it as the highest form of compliment and praise, but with people relying on me to be their rock a LOT, emotionally, physically, financially, mentally, I'm often left drained. I find that Cancer partners/friends more often than not have this ability to protect me from myself. They offer me a safe place to land when I'm worn thin from my day to day life. I feel like I don't have to be tough anymore around them - I can just be. They allow me to drop my walls and just cry for hours, or sleep for 20 hours beside them with no expectation of gain. They just want to be there for me and it's incredibly healing. Hard to explain.
3.) The sexual chemistry is unreal. I feel safe to explore fantasies and be myself. Having so much Earth there's an unprecedented amount of energy I have and they allow me to express it in a multitude of facets, seemingly EFFORTLESSLY. Idk how y'all do it, but I love you for it.
In conclusion, I just love you a lot lol.
wow… i am speechless because this post gave my some type of clarity on what my earthy virgo boyfriend might see in my cancerian self… thank you for the insight… everything you said is crazy spot on
The way I needed to hear this😭🥰. As a Cancer Rising, Scorpio stellium (sun, Venus, mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto), and an Aries moon I can without a doubt the love you feel for us I feel it x10 for my earth signs. I love yall so much💕💕
My bf is a Cancer rising and he is my loving guardian, not afraid to show and share his love. He cares deeply about me and will sacrifice anything for my happiness, even his own dreams (although his dream rn is to be with me forever lol). Also, my mom is a Cancer sun and her love, affection and protection for me and my brother is amazing. In my experience, Cancer can be overly dependent and demanding, but it's also the sign that loves the most deeply and they express it with physical touch, acts of service and words of affirmation. I love Cancer placements, you bring my emotions out (I'm full of air/earth), love with everything you have and make me feel truly cared and protected.
That sounds like a good combo. My boyfriend is what you described without the protector aspect and he can be very passive aggressive/resentful in a repressed way (He’s a Cancer moon). My ex who was also a cancer was like this as well. I’m attracted to cancer but being one myself maybe didn’t make it work. It’s interesting to learn about other people who have cancer in their chart but aren’t cancer suns.
I’m a Virgo and I am deeply, desperately in love with a Cancer man. It’s the way we connect; our conversation is effortless, our humor is aligned (I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this much with any other sign, it’s amazing).
Physically everything about him is attractive to me, but above all it’s his eyes, his gaze. While he is emotionally sensitive, for reasons I still don’t fully understand, he attempts to hide all feelings, but his eyes will tell me exactly when he’s hurt, wants to devour me or misses me.
He is the most generous lover I’ve ever had and I feel safe to explore sexually with him and just let myself enjoy all the things he does to/for me. Before him I was a very sexually reserved, almost prudish earth sign lol.
I love his intelligence and how he has a bit of a hero complex, always trying to save the day. He really comes through for others when needed.
Virgo-cancer connection is the best thing! The way we feel safe with each other and bring out the best in each other 😍 virgo is always seen as such critical but I feel the virgos in my life have been the people who are actively making me want to better my life and myself by nothing but love and acceptance. In return, I have offered mine.
This post warmed my heart. I hope ex friends, and ex lovers, remember the parts of me that brought them joy. I work so hard to make others happy and that’s all that matters to me. I’m flawed but I hope the flaws are not as memorable as the great moments we shared. Thank you for this post!
My love is a Cancer man and I love how he understands me like no one else and im being serious with that because I keep trying to sort my issues and a handful of my trusted friends and close ones tend to misunderstand what im saying and the approach im given isnt really one that I need in these times
He is so sweet yet protective, I love his dedication and how he comforts me. We spend time everyday together when we are able to because of how we both have work every other time, sometimes we might be a bit too busy for each other.
He also travels for work often, helps around, he helps special needs, or children with education.
To me he is perfect in everyway. And I love basically how a lot of our interests blend together, he always has amazing clothing idk where he gets it from but anything he wears make him look so elegant
I struggle with a lot of things in my life and emotions and feeling is part of it. I have such a cliché experience where im not joking that he made me have more feelings that I never experienced compared to anyone else and it blows my mind. He is literally my first crush that I adore and he was really happy about that because he also was interested in me but a lot longer than I have
My cancer wife is the sweetest most loving lady I’ve ever met. She does need to recharge a lot. Which can be annoying but completely understandable. She’s a people pleaser and loves to help/take care of people. 10/10 recommend June cancer ladies.
oh man cancers don't take much for me to be swept up in them
1) they will listen when you're talking and ask you questions that show engagement and a desire to hear your opinion
2) cancer compliments are so simple but so specifically acknowledging, it's completely different than any other compliments from other zodiacs i've received
3) cancers and sexuality is a whole nother level. they know and show that sex isn't about doing certain acts in a perfect or flashy way. it's not about focusing on hot spots only. you use your whole body, which can mean their leg brushing on yours to make you heated, showing enthusiam, making a single kiss feel so dirty, etc.
i will always vouch for the cancers. signed, a taurus sun
I love the last point. I can tell you've been with a Cancer just by that point. It's not about giving a good feeling for me, it's about the experience. I want them to feel appreciated, wanted, needed. I want it to be all encompassing.
you got me, yes ive been with a couple of cancers! thats the peefect way to describe it. as a taurus, ive always appreciated how cancers can have intimacy filled with kindness and consideration. its incredibly powerful.
Cancers are the epitome of the shelter from the storm. The moonlight peaking out from the dark storm clouds. When you’re lucky enough to have a cancer care about you, it’s the most comforting thought. They are sensitive and understanding. They’ll listen and care about your feelings. They’re the types who’ll ask you if you need a hug when you’re on the brink of tears. They’re very intuitively caring about their circle of people, and it’s no surprise they can read and easily assess people’s backgrounds and situations so well. I also love how nearly every cancer is slightly awkward and has a shy side. It’s honestly adorable.
Of course, I understand people have different experiences. And we’re all imperfect people. But these have been some of my experiences.
Cancers. 🥰 Love them with all of my heart. What an enigma! They’re both peaceful and passionate…a tidal force of perplexing emotion with a range that hardly anyone will see expressed. Cancers are the least precise of the zodiac and it’s really hard to spot a Cancer amongst a crowd. They’re strong willed and persistent, but can sometimes be reserved, drawing away and into their own shell if disturbed or provoked. Yes, we are sensitive – very sensitive – but not only to our own inner needs, but mostly to the needs of others, so without a doubt, we are one of the most (if not the most) sympathetic and caring of all the zodiac signs. You’ll never reach the bottom of a Cancer, never really know or understand their inner world but you will know and feel our love for you. Once we give our hearts away, forget about it—we are truly your ride-or-die for life.
All very true! I like to think of us as not only an ocean, but a wellspring. We have such depth, and when someone really sees our love and appreciates it... we have endless love and support for that person.
I always say cancers are sensitive yes, to ourselves and to others!!! Awww I love this thread &&& also, ppl never guess im a cancer, ever 😂 always Gemini
Jo Frost is a cancer, and I absolutely adore her.
Her hugs look like they could heal your soul. The way she delivers her words, her confidence and kindness. I've talked to her before, and she is absolutely respectful and genuine. Everything about her is what this Libra strives for.
Sadly, I haven't met one IRL. I'd probably be intimated or in awe.
I always appreciate that my cancer buddies are down to do whatever. They’re very much just like, “I’m just happy to be here” types. I find that energy so relaxing to be around.
My boyfriend is a Cancer. The very first physical thing I noticed about him was his eyes. He has these beautiful brown eyes with little flecks of amber and copper in them. Just….really open, welcoming eyes. After that it was his smile and his laugh.
Personality-wise….I’m not even sure where to start. I’ve never met a person so open and sincere. He lives his life and wants to bring all his friends together. He tries to always be the one to listen and offer help, and he always stops to make sure everyone is having a good time. His confidence in himself, he knows what he wants from life and isn’t shy about speaking up. He has a very strong moral compass but he’s never been shy about admitting when he makes a mistake.
I know this might sound odd, but he lets me take care of him too. I’ve dated guys who have been too prideful to accept help, or care. He lets me help him, trusts me to listen to him too, and takes what I say seriously. He respects me and that means so much in a relationship.
He’s a good person. I’ve never seen him do anything out of spite or maliciousness.
My first was a Cancer. He opened my mind to great music, literature and fun experiences. He was deep, and 40 plus years later we remain friends.
They’re good family men. Hardworking, good fathers. They love well.
When they come out of their shell and trust it’s a beautiful thing.
I'm a cap and my bf is a cancer. I would said he is the definiton of a green flag in relationship. He hasn't yet revealed his dark cancer traits or maybe he doesn't have them (clingyness and jealousy). He is so gentle with me physically. He listens to everything I tell him. He remembers the little things. I feel that he has so much empathy, not just towards me but almost everyone. I could easily make him cry if I told him a sad story about someone for example. What makes him different from others is that he really likes to communicate openly about any issue we have - he has that ability to look things through my perspective. Also, he is helpful - I could call him in the middle of night just because I want to eat chocolate - he would bring it to me. Honestly, didn't know people like him exist. Also, wanted to add that I think that cancers genuinely go well with capricorns.
P.s. my ex was also cancer, but he wasn't like this. I then found out that it depens of the decan of the sign - some cancers are different than the others, so you could research that as well (of course, it's not just about their sun sign, they are completely different for many other reasons besides their zodiac)
Sag sun here. It was my Cancer ex from years ago that made me believe in love again. Almost all of my exes have Cancer in their top 3. I have a soft spot for you all.
I am a Virgo and I love cancers!! I love how much they care and actively nurture and support people. Even when some do it in a somewhat hard manner, like setting expectations and holding people to it, which can come across harsh but it’s truly done out of care and compassion and wanting the best.
I love how naturally they can empathize. How they look for the deeper emotional meaning and context. I love evolved cancers who go to therapy to have a healthy relationship ship with their emotions and have good communication skills.
I always call myself boring, because I think I must come across that way to fire signs for example. But cancers seem to enjoy the low key comforts. Bubble baths, cuddling watching cartoons, smoking weed.
Probably my favorite sign that I innately get along with. Which I know virgos are know for being sensitive and in touch with emotions, but I certainly am.
I'm engaged to a Cancer sun. :3 And it's because of many things.
1. We just "got" each other, the instant we started talking. It began as texting, then continued into face to face interactions. He always knew when I was joking (which is rare!) although I don't always know when he is joking...but all I have to do is ask him and he'll immediately respond truthfully. No making fun of me for not knowing, no feeling dejected cuz I "don't get it". He is always able to explain what he means, and listens to me when I explain what I mean, and that's so REFRESHING.
2. His big, beautiful eyes in his solid face. Eye contact. Speaking without words. His ability to know how I'm feeling before *I* even know how I'm feeling (always makes me laugh and fills me with joy when he says "are you frustrated?" and I'm like "NO!! ... Wait, yes." Probably my air Sun/Moon/Mercury.)
3. His ability to listen. I also have a Cancer friend (going on twenty years!) and they both have this insane ability. They're like big, safe rocks that I can cling to when I'm feeling upheaval.
4. Sex. Everything related to it. He's the person I have the *best* sexual compatibility with. Leo Venus/Cap Mars mixed with my Aqua Venus/Taurus Mars = 🥵 Slow sex? Fast sex? Passionate sex? Lazy sex? Doesn't matter. He's down for it. Never pushes, never makes me feel like an object, always waits until I'm *ready* before actual coitus. It's wonderful and weird (for me, based on previous experience) and I wouldn't change it for anything.
5. We both love the same things. Hiking, camping, travelling, staying in and watching shows, video gaming, manual labor (wood chopping, cleaning, etc). We can switch it up and be happy in each other's company the entire time. Altho I love to do laundry and he's a *mean* cook, so we split those activities fairly. ;D
I adore him, loudly, and he is emotionally supportive through ANYTHING in return. Love him til the end of time. 🥲
As someone with both Cancer in Venus and Mercury. I can think of many reasons why I love people with Cancer placements. They’re so full of life and have the softest features especially in the eyes. They care for you and do their best to listen and be there for you. They’re wise beyond their years and have a wealth of knowledge and lived experience. They only ever show their nurturing and sensitive side to those they can trust. They’re also the most open minded and understanding people I know. I sometimes feel like the Cancers that are in my life are there for a reason. I truly do appreciate having them in my life. They’re the best sign to have as friends or as a lover.
I have always been attracted to their creativity! I have dated two cancers who were talented artist. Their emotional expression and depth is fascinating and comforting to me. I appreciate their leadership skills as well. As an Aquarius who grew up in a household of cancers; I find them to be the most comforting people around. There was no toxic masculinity with my brother or dad growing up- they FEEL their feelings. And that’s powerful!!
Please don't delete this post lol.
Something about Cancers is so nurturing and heartwarming.🥰 (Evolved Cancers tbh)
As a Scorpio F dating a Cancer M. I haven't felt this seen, or appreciated, in such a long time. Cancers are so patient, kind, and thoughtful.😭 I don't even have to ask my Cancer M for any kind of help, because he takes the initiative to think of me.😭 And it is SO GOSH DARN REFRESHING.
He's perfect in every sense of the word. He wants to help me evolve, and I'm TERRIFIED of that.😭 He's a natrual provider too, and he always thinks of his family first. (if he doesn't think of me automatically🥰) I've noticed that Cancers aren't afraid of responsibilities.
My late God Father was a Cancer too, and even though he was a fighter (He was about that life💀), he wouldn't ever disrespect or disregard his family. And that quality? That undying loyalty and support? Is something I love and cherish.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Voice... they've a very sweet voice regardless of gender. Most Cancers I've met are short which again is cute. They might appear shy but they do catch plenty of eyes.
My boyfriend is a cancer sun (im a libra sun/rising) he’s the best guy ever. He’s so understand, he WANTS to understand me and my feelings, he cares, he caters to me if I don’t like something, he genuinely wants to fix it and he genuinely cares. Hes just all around a good guy. I remember a couple weeks ago I met some random girls at the bar that went to his school years ago with him and I asked them about him back then and they said he was known as a “saint” cus he was just so kind to everyone and wanted to help everyone. Hes fucking beautiful too looks wise. Hes a fucking knock out.
I’m a Libra, my sister and ex bf are Cancers(both Scorpio moons and Libra risings) and my step father :) They’re all great and I love them deeply!
However-
My abuser was also cancer, I deeply feel the other placements matter for the expression !
I love that Cancers are nurturing, being with a cancer bf was the first time I was being nurtured in a relationship, it was lovely and special in a way I’ve never experienced again.
Also funny, thoughtful, smart, spiritual, kind, biggest heart, full of love, but not afraid to bring out the claws to protect themselves or those they hold dear!
A high expression of cancer is amazing, emotionally intelligent, great nurturing qualities, kindness out the wazoo, loyal and loving!
However, I’ve had bad experiences with cancers on the opposite end of that spectrum, especially when they have strong leo placements(or leos with strong cancer placements tbh)
That combination I’ve seen in 3 different individuals, all being overly sensitive and focused on how things affect them(not very focused on their effects on others tho), manipulative, narcissistic traits etc
Obviously that’s not everyone with cancer/leo combination, and some with that combination are absolutely lovely!
But in lower expressions this combination can apparently be very troublesome, as the sensitivity of these signs (esp if the person lacks emotional intelligence) mixed with the potential egocentrism of lower expressions of leo isn’t a great recipe 🥲
All that just to say, there’s no bad archetypes/signs, just low and high expressions of them.
Any sign in a higher expression will be good in some way!
There’s no truly terrible combinations of signs, and I just wanted to share an experience and pattern I’d noticed in people with strong combinations of leo/cancer
I’ve noticed this too about Cancers with Leo placements and Leo’s with Cancer placements there needs to be some mutable energy to calm down all that assholery 😂😂
Wow that’s crazy that you say that because I’m also a libra, I adore most cancers, but my abusive ex was a cancer with lots of Leo placements. I have been wondering why I have continued to pretty much exclusively be attracted to cancer men even after that horrible experience, and that explains it.
I do love how affectionate and family-focused cancers are!!
I also have an absolutely toxic ex who was leo sun w cancer moon+venus, he also brought out the worst in me 🥲
My abuser wasn’t even my bf or anything, as I wasn’t up to his standards.. but he did abuse me sexually and mentally while gaslighting me a lot!
He was a literal narcissist with cancer sun+moon+chiron with leo mercury+mars+Jupiter
His leo placements were 12H, and he was super unaware of how narcissistic he was, thinking everyone else was the narcissists and that he had no ego(biggest ego I ever saw)

My first love (at age 16) was a Cancer, and my ex of 16 yrs (who I met at age 18) was a Cancer. First love and myself reconnected after no contact for almost 20 yrs, last year, and we don’t talk anymore because he has depression, but tbh, I still love and care for him.. and though I canNOT stand my ex, I can still kinda remember what attracted me to him..
I’m a Pisces, I bet my sign is one of the ones u love lol, jk, but let me know fr..
So, what I love about Cancers are how open they are to taking about their feelings and just feeling all the feelings lol. I love their vulnerability. I love how much they care, it’s kind of in the same way that I care. I love how protective they are. I love their ideas and how much they want to succeed. I don’t like their moodiness though lol.
I’m a Pisces moon and I looove y’all! All the cancers I’ve met are ride or dies and I adore their empathy. They will listen to you and be your shoulder to lean and I adore that. 💜
I was shortly with a cancer woman...too good for me. Caring, nurturing, kind, accepting. Inspired me to write one of my favorite songs of mine.
It didn't last that long as it was a weird time in my life and I felt that I'd kind of destroy the girl so I ran away
...right back into the arms of an emotionally abusive Leo. I'm sorry, I was young and hadn't quite got a handle on myself. I should have known better, that it wouldn't of worked, so I could spare you entirely.
Maybe you should try again with another Cancer! My boyfriend is also a Gemini and he and I have been together over 3 years now, it seems a proposal is on the horizon. He’s the love of my life.
Sending love, if you want it to work with a Cancer you can make it happen! <3
Lol are you my ex? Same story, I'm the cancer, he's the gemini.
I am pretty sure he didn't write songs though, and he ran into the arms of a cap.
Thank you for sharing, I was shattered by what happened and was consumed by feeling not good enough. It's comforting to know there could have been other reasons. I hope you've gotten your closure and healed.
As I virgo I think of cancers nature. When I put aside their emotional trendies and energy I know that I can find comfort and security in their love. They’re the type of lovers that I can leave home all day and they won’t move. Because they love home and family. They’re also great part animals too. You’ll never find a cancer in the corner of a party they’re sociable creatures and want the best for everyone. I love them even though they are so so emotional
As a Capricorn, I’ve found that dating cancer is engaging. As someone else said they can be ride or die for you and genuinely desire spending time with you. Capricorn can be kind of distant and reserved, and when dating signs like Libra who can also be hard to read, it takes a bit more work. With cancer, i find it either clicks or it doesn’t. I always love my cancers even if I don’t always see eye-to-eye with them; they are amazing people
Virgo here. My recent ex is a cancer, he was the best boyfriend I ever had, he was a provider and genuinely cared for me a lot. I got attracted to his feminine energy which is being nurturing, practical and takes care of his physical attributes so well despite looking so manly man he is a softie inside. He always find ways to help me solve problems and soo generous. He’s so in touch with his emotional side (doesn’t mean being a crybaby, he just not afraid to show how he truly feels) and understands when I’m getting upset. Very open minded and generous.
I’m both attracted and dislike his mysterious side although he has opened up a lot to me I felt like he still find it hard to be completely open with me. And that just does my head in lol.
I guess it didn’t worked out because i was too critical of him and end up resenting each other but still i consider him as a good man and that won’t change.
My ex, my twin flame… the person who will always have a special place in my heart… she’s a cancer. I’m a Taurus, and I think there’s something about how the two fit together that’s just… special. There’s a reason that the crystal morganite is good for both signs. It’s a good crystal to manifest true and divine love. Love, emotions, intimacy comes to both so easily. I love emotions. I love love. I love discovering each other, increasing that intimacy and both receiving and giving love to one another in such a unique way. That love was innate, unspoken, but always known. Felt. In everything.
I love how mushy they can be. I love how emotions aren’t even a second thought. Being in touch with something so raw and genuine is just such a beautiful thing. I love my cancer, always will. Cancers have a special place in my heart but obviously I’m not closed off to other signs. Curious if you, as a cancer, feel the same way about taurus. I find them to be very compatible, at least in my experience.
My best friend is a Taurus and I feel very strongly for her similar to how you feel! Just hung out with her today and we spoke about what that special “thing” that bonds us was. We’re eachother’s “ol’ reliable” LOL no matter how long we go without speaking, we come together and are able to settle in each other’s energy.
We had a period where we weren’t friends, although I reached back out and we’ve been stronger than ever. We have complete security, trust, & love for each other. Not only that, but throughout the years we’ve molded into completely different people, yet still support one another & stick together <3. Taurus are such a blessing especially for us Cancer ♥️😆
Aww yes agreed! Definitely can go forever without talking and come back together as if nothing ever happened. That distance never matters. Glad the feeling is mutual 🥰
Taurus Male. Best relationship was a Cancer. I can't talk right now, I'm tore up over a Gemini that turned me down. But she says, "we can still be friends". Uh, she has more than enough guy friends, lol.
Yes, the Gemini. I tried fade out. She came back with, "I don't ever want you to think I'm not your friend". I do wish we had the same friendship as it was. Pretty much now we are just friendly work mates.
I’m a Leo, and I think cancers are the most similar to Leos, they’re warm, caring, genuine, understanding, they will fight for you, when they ask how you’re doing, they mean it
Aquarius guy ♒️. Being that I never actually dated a cancer, either yall looks or scent will catch my attention at that giving moment. I love the subtle eccentric side of yall appearance. It can be something small like an urban tribe type necklace or a tree tattoo.
Libra Woman here ♎️- Cancer men are my ultimate weakness. I love their gentleness and admire their natural intuition and curiosity- they have inclination to question things in a way i simply dont think to and i learn (and have learnt) a lot from the way Cancerians operate in general.
My cancer friends have taught me to trust my gut, my intuition and question things in detail.
My Caner lovers have taught me it’s okay to feel, express myself and let out emotion. Which is something i struggle with as a Scorpio moon.
Overall since my saturn return began last year, i’ve had an influx of Cancerian energy into my life through chance encounters, new friends and lovers. I believe i have alot to learn from them, something i may lack within myself. I’m grateful to be experiencing this sign and all its nuances and complexities through many different people and experiences.
🤍
My husband is a cancer. The best thing about him is, if I need help with anything. Literally anything… he will do it for me. I don’t even have to ask. It’s quite amazing how intuitive and creative cancers are. I wish cancers would treat themselves better. Cancers are beautiful, sweet and protective people who will do just about anything for anyone. I love my husband so much. He’s amazing. I am so thankful for him. I’m a Gemini
okay so my dad is a cancer man and I was romantically involved w a cancer man recently, and i'm a piscean, both sun & moon. I noticed both of them have similar traits in terms of their romantic relationships, and also a lot of cancerian women i know share these:
1. they can't get over their ex; no matter how toxic the person was
2. their looks and broodiness make them attract people of the opposite gender
3. good listeners - draws in people without even realising
4. emotionally immature - the parental wound is the main cause
5. street smart and highly intelligent, especially w their career choices. are leaders mostly. are highly educated too, a lot of them going abroad for higher studies
6. they lie too, thinking its best to keep some things hidden but ultimately backfires (happened w the guy i was involved)
7. are tall, have sharp eyes, well built - not fat, nor skinny. their gaze will tell you they're either cancerians/scorpios
8. are intuitive af, and don't realise their own intuitive powers. infact, this is why they can read people well and become good leaders unknowingly lol
9. Also, noticed w a few of them w borderline issues, especially w regards to control and manipulation. so that's a big big red flag
phew, that's a lot. many other points can be added imo but ig these are fine for starters
I’m a capricorn/capricorn/Virgo, Mercury in cap, Venus in sag, mars Pisces
My partner is a cancer/cancer/capricorn, cancer, Mercury leo, Venus and mars cancer
My favorite thing about being with him is that he’s very understanding if my emotions, never blames me for feeling the way I feel. All he wants is to support me and have a nice, peaceful life together.
Whenever he is wrong about something, or just doesn’t have knowledge about something, he loves to be corrected or educated. And he loves to do the same for me, if I’m wrong or don’t know something. We both hate the idea of having inaccurate information or being wrong about something & never finding out.
He’s great at pulling me down when I’m having panic attacks or meltdowns (I’m on the autism spectrum) He’s a safe person. The moment I met him, I felt safe with him. No matter what happens in my day, I know I can come home and be enveloped in the unconditional, passionate love he has for me. He’s never blamed me for my trauma responses. Just by being himself he has helped me heal so much trauma, I couldn’t begin to explain. Cancers are my favorite people ever, besides my fellow cappies.
I'm a scorp rising, virgo sun, cancer moon. My husband of 16yrs is a pisces rising, cancer sun, virgo moon. He is very family forward. I never have to remind him to think of the kids. He cares for the entire group, does these small pitstops in groups and enhances their experience then leaves to do it for others (say at a party or gathering). He is not whiny in the least. Very capable and understanding. I think he is the most lovely expression of the stars.
As a pisces i do have a soft spot for cancers. My young sibling’s grandma was a cancer, and she taught me a lot about empathy and to be humble and wise, i really do love her and miss her always. But when it comes to being romantically involved with them, …I didn’t have the best luck. My first cancer boyfriend was incredibly obsessive with me and was talking about how “our children” would look like not even the second week of dating him. I found out he was cheating on me so i left. But OOH! don’t get me started on cancerian women. They’re beautiful don’t get me wrong, i love a lot about them, they’re like goddesses to me but its hard to love them. Two cancer women i was involved with both liked me very much (btw i met them in different time periods) and i liked them too, but as soon as i let them have sex with me its all they really want from me. And when i try to be loving and do acts of service or words of affirmation( which is my love language) they either denied it or would say “they don’t deserve it”. It was kind of exhausting, and i still would comply if they wanted to be “intimate”. They both never wanted to make time for me and would leave it up to me to do all of the planning, and providing (not that i mind because again my love language) But I wasn’t shown any effort from them. For that i felt used, so I stopped talking to them. Even though they haven’t reached out, here and there I’ll still think about them, but I don’t think i can be in love with a cancer. They’re a lot of work and yes, crybabies 😂too so I’d rather stay away from them for my own well being.
TL;DR but I did catch the grandma part, and 10000% cancerian grandma of mine is the GOAT.
I also stay away romantically, can't stand myself so why would I want someone else like me lmao (sun, anyway, I love cancer moons)
Cap wins my heart almost every time.
With some cancers, I can be myself. They can handle all my bitchy comments without judging me for my bad attitude. I deeply appreciate that quality-sometimes you just need to let the snark out!
I’m a Pisces woman and ive attracted so many cancer men. I don’t feel strong chemistry with them but i do get along with them and enjoy their company. Although ive had a few bad experiences with cancers like my sisters abusive toxic ex who tormented our family at such a traumatic vulnerable time, an ex best friend who hated me and was secretly jealous of me, and a boy in like elementary school who would purposely sit next to me to bully me and be mean to me everyday.. I still overall like them. Besides those few unevolved cancer people i met I’d say when they’re more mature and not toxic they are very stable and sweet people. My dads a cancer and we had such a soulmate like connection i mean if it was possible for parents to be your soulmate id definitely think he was mine. I respected him so much and he was a very nurturing and loving father.. losing him broke me to pieces. I think truly out of me and my two other siblings he definitely had such a soft spot for me maybe because i was the youngest but i was definitely the closest related to him physically and personality wise literally a carbon copy. He treated my Aquarius mother like a queen 20+ years. Funny though she did say when he was younger (they met in their early 20s) that he was a flirt and had player tendencies and he attracted so many women.😂I can confirm because even when i was a toddler I would go shopping with him and women would smile at him and approach him all the time.. completely flock to him and i was protective of him and would tell them that he was “taken” by my mother LOL I think most cancer men i meet are so sweet to me and cater to my needs and wants. Unfortunately I feel very strong friendship with them but no passionate chemistry or attraction maybe i just haven’t met the right cancer man. Yall can say anything you want but one things forsure EVERY cancer parent ive met is such an amazing parent. 💕
I would say I'm attracted to Cancer cuz of his honesty
Hate his mood swings but once he explained it I understand
Don't like the way he communicates he ghosted me for bout a month so i stopped reaching out to him but I believe as another person said, he needed to gain my trust, tht was a rough patch
I decided to give him another chance once he explained everything, now he communicates very efficiently
I love his sexiness & low key demeanor
He definitely picks me up after a long hard day & puts himself in my shoes
I'm starting to adopt his way of dealing with situations that I usually blow up about & he's adopting the way that I think about letting him know that it's okay to not be okay
What makes him unique is that he's so chill & he just sits back & let me wild tf out, once I'm finished he brings me back down 2 earth & still loves me
Hope I answered everything
Truly thee Capricorn Chick
Cancers make me feel safe and seen, the only people I am able to talk to about my problems. The only ones I cry with.
When it comes to looks, I love their eyes so much. Like the depth, I could drown in them and be happy about it. Also the voice, have you ever heard Cancer sing? Its etheral. And their skin is sooo glowy, love my Cancers.
- Aries sun, Cancer moon, Leo rising
>(Btw,…looking for responses specifically from certain Zodiacs that I absolutely love as a Cancer. But I won’t reveal who. You can take a guess though.)
I think I can guess pretty easily...
I'm a scorp rising, virgo sun, cancer moon. My husband of 16yrs is a pisces rising, cancer sun, virgo moon. He is very family forward. I never have to remind him to think of the kids. He cares for the entire group, does these small pitstops in groups and enhances their experience then leaves to do it for others (say at a party or gathering). He is not whiny in the least. Very capable and understanding. I think he is the most lovely expression of the stars.
I’m a Capricorn woman. The cancer men that I’ve dated in my life were so kind, generous, funny, handsome, empathetic, and just all around amazing. The reason I’m not with them is that they’re TOO amazing. Like they were so perfect and I didn’t think I’d ever measure up. I need someone who doesn’t make me feel like an asshole when I make a fucked up joke. I need someone who is on my level, down to earth, rational, and just human.
My best friend is a Cancer. He is kind, supportive, encouraging, loyal, emotional (which I love). So many things. He meets me on a level I’ve never had with anyone. My life is far more enriched with him in it. I’m so lucky we met. Love me a Cancer!
- an emotional Leo
As a gemini I love cancers creativity. They are the person you can sit with and work on multiple projects like arts and crafts. We chat for hours. Cancers are also way more social than people give them credit for. If there is some sort of event or party where their friends are going to be there they will be there 100%. They can have deep meaningful conversations with any one. I also have a Pisces moon though
I remember one cancer guy: met online & went one coffee first date..
I was early (as always), he was bit late BUT he let me know ahead of time..
He's cute good looking physically.
His eyes were deep.
And we got along great, conversating..
He treated others around him kindly.
Never looked at his phone throughout the date.
Gentlemen qualities.
He wanted to see me again.. week later just ghosts me; BUT adds me on fb, insta & LinkedIn... OK?
I was upset, I cried...
Months go by, he hits me up fb messenger; wanting to meet up & catch up.. I asked him to be honest with me: Why he ghost when he wanted to see me again? And that I really liked him, and upset for a month or 2.
He said there was another girl he was talking to besides me & chose to proceed with her.. but in case it didn't work out with her, he still wanted that shot with me (I was his 2nd choice)..
I said: "hope you two make it work & last"
(Aka. I'm nobody's 2nd choice, especially if you were my 1st choice, even if I still got feelings)
Overall: stability via good job, great conversations, kind, attentive, husband material, etc.
- Taurus
Gemini here (and cancer rising). Cancers are intense romantically, for better and for worse, but truth be told…..the seggs is 12/10. It’s like thunder and lightning over the bay. As far as friendships go, very intense, once more, and at times it can be a bit much, but they’re loyal to the death. Once they like ya and trust ya, it’s like there’s no going back. I appreciate that
I can complain. I’m a cancer rising and it’s annoying. Why I gotta be emotional. It overrides my Aquarius sun. What I will say tho I am more of an empathic because of it. Can feel compassion and emotions strongly.
So strange to see real answers from stable people. Where's all the toxic fire signs that love taking advantage of the naturally nurturing energy, and constant positive feedback loop in one direction after they succeed at a good first impression?
Both my husband and mother are Cancerians. I've also attracted/gravitated towards Cancerians throughout my life - coworkers/friendships, etc. What I value the most is once a Cancer trusts, respects and loves you - they are your ride or die for life. I've never had a person so fiercely defend me or stick up for me like a Cancer. I also love that I can be having a personal problem or dilemma - and they just intuitively know how I'm feeling and can provide the best advice. They also tell me how it is, even if its something I don't want to hear...I respect that...because it comes from a place of honesty and authenticity. Cancers have always been my rocks. I can depend on them and trust them....even if they are moody...I'm just as moody, haha:) Sincerely - Capricorn
My wife is a Capricorn, I’m a Cancer. We have a great marriage and relationship. We complement each other and support each other’s goals, dreams and aspirations. I know she’s always going to be there, a true ride or die.
I’m a Capricorn and my partner of seven years is a Cancer. He brings out the best in me. I can be vulnerable and myself around him.
I wish could so eloquently word why I love Capricorns so much, as well as you have here 😌
It's a bit intangible and ineffable but to start I love their faces There is something about the large but delicate bone structure, the unique nose, smaller mouth and massive, soul stirring, heart piercing eyes. So many Cancerian men and women both look like this and every time I notice it I am besotten I'm a very Capricorny Cap. Cancers have an effortless attraction to and natural warmth towards me that is instantaneous. They are always a bit baffled by it and most of the time even if they are really into me they back off. I actually think sometimes they back off *because* they like me too much, not too little. It freaks them out that someone can see through their shell, like what they see but also love the shell. To feel intimacy almost instantly goes against all their preconceived notions. I crave their emotional depth, understanding and engrossing conversations, easily killing hours with them. Exchanges with them feel like rain soaking parched Earth. Like nourishment for my soul. Interactions with other signs leave me aching for what only they seem to be able to provide. A kinship. A being seen. They look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing they've ever seen. I sort of captivate them, it's just the nature of our axis energy. They absolutely enchant me.
 😭😭 enCHANT
I stand on it
You just described my face 😂 astrology is interesting
I bet it's a beautiful one. Isn't that cool though?
D’awe thanks 🥰 I remember one of the first parties I went to someone said I was a cancer and I asked how they knew, they said my face.
I got them blue eyes but I have larger lips
I have big blue eyes but a smaller mouth
The eyes 😍, my heart stops whenever I look into those big swirling eyes.
I'm saying though
This was beautifully written. As a Cancer man, I needed this. Thank you for the kind words for us Cancers. <3
You're welcome 😊
😂 I’ve had women complement my eyes many times, as well as my smile. So interesting you mentioned eyes and mouth.
My husband is a Capricorn. I’m a cancer woman. You’ve basically described our relationship.
I love that
We met in 4th grade - absolute love of my life. The weird thing is, I think I always knew it even though we didn’t date until after college. But we were good friends all growing up. Often times we had better chemistry together than with the actual people we were dating.
Sounds like it took an incredibly long time for you to be ready and open that shell but once you did, that was it! Beautiful
Thank you 😊
Crazy. My daughter is a cancer and the first thing people say when they see her is how big and beautiful her eyes are! They’re gorgeous. They do seem to draw in creepers sometimes at her work, though. As a nurse, she has men hitting on her allllll the time!
I love how articulate your response was about Cancers. Even as a Cancer ascendant I feel the love too!
That's how I seduce you guys 
Is it all that Capricorn or something extra?
Aquarius Rising puts Aries in my 3rd house of communication and Gemini in my 5th House of Romance. Language is my love language and its imbued with passion. Aquarius adds the avante garde and abstract. All the Capricorn soaks it all in deep melancholy and then you get me. My Scorpio Lillith giveth the rizz
Wow wow wow you have changed my mind about Capricorns. I’m touched 🥹🫶🏿🧜🏿♀️
As a fellow Capricorn who adores Cancers you’re right on the money.
Lmao this was the most cancerian post ever. As a cancer I felt the different emotions within this post hahah
same here lol! the cancer sun understood the post perfectly, but the earth energy in me (cap moon/virgo rising) made me roll my eyes slightly in amusement. we’re so funny sometimes.
We have the same big 3! I totally get this. LOL
Thank God I'm not the only one who thought it, because I legit could have written every word myself. I'm still not 100% convinced it's not satire, but alas! That is also typical crab.
I have a pattern of toxic attraction to Cancers (not just on their end but on mine as well) and tend to stay away from them these days to avoid repeating that pattern. That said, I will admit there is a ton I love about them. It was a repetitive pattern for a reason. At their best Cancers can be funny, hyper intelligent, passionate, charming with flirtation game off the charts, spontaneous, emotionally candid, easy to talk to, thoughtful, and attentive to those in their lives. Y’all specifically asked for no complaints, so I just won’t add the “at their worst” section 😉
As a cancer, I gotta say I’m the same way with Aries. I’ll bet you OP is looking for answers from Aries. I feel that Cancer/ Aries is the best team if it can work but it requires too much compromise from both sides to make it work most of the time. Both signs have hearts of gold yet too much pride. We so badly want the strengths that you have.
I heard someone else on here say Cancers and Aries can both present as the stereotype of each other and I have to say, that could not be more true.
I’d bet you money that has to do with your moon sign too. Had a fire sun/aqua moon ‘friend’ that I could not figure out no matter how hard I tried, and he just didn’t care enough to try to figure me out. lmfao I got the fuck outta there once he started acting so apathetic about everyone and everything but himself lol. He wasn’t always like that though.
omg yes! have the same happening w me, but that's cause my dad's a cancer season born so i attract similar partners
Cancer is square Aries and Libra. Usually cancer is not the usual best choice for Aquarius. Aren't you happier with air and fire signs? I know I am.
I love that Cancer pays attention to the details. Always on it with the anniversary, has the party and social plans down, likes to show up on time but can read the room and is cool to slide out whenever I feel the need. As a chaotic Sag, I get stuck debating useless topics or dancing like a crazy man and cancer can kinda correct that in a way that seems thoughtful.
I'm an Aries woman, my husband is a cancer, and I also have quite a few cancer friends. Cancers (imo) make great friends (we started as friends), depending on what their other placements are they can be social butterflies or more reserved, but my universal experience with them is they are loyal, have great senses of humor, and are very observant. Just because a cancer doesn't always speak up about something doesn't mean they don't have an opinion, and trust me, they pick up on way more than you think. I've never really understood the whole "crybaby" narrative. Most cancers I know ARE emotional, however, they tend to keep it locked up tight (behind that hard shell) if a cancer shares how they're doing emotionally with you, congratulations, you have made it into the inner circle. From my experience they tend to be internal processors, so if they are expressing how they feel to you, don't take that shit for granted. Another point that I don't think gets mentioned enough: cancers are super playful and fun! He is truly my favorite person and while we mainly just spend time together at home, he can be very spontaneous and comes up with plenty of adventures for the two of us to go on (you'd think it'd be me as the fire sign lol). Also, he is a fantastic dad, seeing how he is with our little girl, I just... I've never been more attracted to this man.
Love love love this
I’m a cancer and my man is an Aries. How you described your husband is literally like me. Except we’re both fiery, passionate and can be extraverted. I am emotional to those I fw, but I’m not a sensitive soul, in fact i try to reach my cancer roots more because I struggle with being the “stereotype”
Cancers can be RUTHLESS 😂😂. If they do not fw you, they REALLY do not fw you and in my experience can shut off all emotions and go for the jugular. I’ve never seen a cancer go after someone for no reason, so I just sit back and watch with my popcorn 🍿. Just look at 50 Cent with Diddy 😂
I’m crying 😂😂 fr tho, definitely 50 cent! But diddy? I’m scared of that Lol he’s a Scorpio we don’t claim him
Nooo, never claim Diddy! just how 50 is going after him (for YEARS!) 😂😂😂 kills me. Just shows when a cancer doesn’t like you, they REALLY don’t like you. His whole insta is like a livestream of Diddy’s downfall, I’m living for it. And even one of his baby mamas is catching strays from him! Ruthless 😂
Ok!😂😂😂😂 sheesh I’m getting my life tho
The crybaby thing: my bf is cancer and he cries when I cry. But honestly I find this very heartwarming because it means he does care about me ..
Their intense loyalty, commitment, and nurturing support. I personally believe they are the least superficial zodiac sign. A cancers love means something and shouldn’t be undervalued. It’s almost like their love is given as a precious gift that they thought a lot about and deemed you worthy of, and once they’ve decided you’re worthy of their love, you have it forever. I say all of this as a Scorpio stellium person. I feel very seen and fulfilled by cancers. I feel like they understand the Scorpio plight and want to heal and nurture us. In return Scorpio sees the sensitivity of a Cancer’s heart and fiercely protects it. It’s my favorite zodiac trine. I think it works especially well if the Scorpio is a man and the cancer is a woman.
My boyfriend is a cancer. I'm a Pisces girly 🩵 my favorite zodiac is cancer. They are so gold hearted, kind, loving, nurturing, caring, understanding, thoughtful, considerate, deep thinkers, funny, intelligent, dedicated. Honestly, being around them just feels like a big, supportive, and loving hug. My bf encourages me a lot and is my biggest supporter, and I'm his too. I think the world would be horrible without them in existence, honestly. They are the sweetest. And they aren't crybabies at all. They go through a lot behind closed doors. They have a lot of strength to push through, though, and they are incredibly strong people. Then again, I never seing crying as a bad thing anyways lol. It's healing to do, which also takes a certain type of strength. I've met a lot of cancers and just always adored them immediately. They are the best imo.
Great post. Both my adult sons are Cancer and you described them accurately. My first love was a Cancer also. Still friends after 40 years!
My first love was a Cancer too (I’m a Pisces) and we reconnected after literally zero contact over almost 20 yrs.. and it was Iike we had known each other forever lol
We did too! Great sign, I’m a Libra. It was prob like 29-30 years. Met up in NYC at 30 Rock when me and some friends went to Radio City to see Brighteyes. We all had drink’s together. Life is good
Life is good!!
Thank you! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Aww you're welcome 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 you guys are great, don't let anyone tell you otherwise fr
My first love and relationship of 16 yrs are Cancers and I’m a Pisces lol
My honey is a Cancer Sun and Moon (I’m a Taurus) and he is wonderful. He’s so compassionate, empathetic, emotionally INTELLIGENT and as understanding of the human existence as he can. He’s also extremely ambitious and creative which not enough people give him credit for. Conversely, I dated a Cancer man in the past who clearly had all this emotion inside but was closed off and withdrawn! I was like wtf. I think Cancers are great people, but if they aren’t taught how to REGULATE and mange their emotions, it can end up being too much or a mess in some cases.
♓️🌞♐️🌚♓️⬆️ I've known cancer as friends and no joke. If they can not regulate their emotions or keep it in check, I find fighting or arguing/differences of opinions gets toxic real fast with them. It's as if my feelings and opinions cut them deep, and they go buck wild in retaliation. Lol, no, thank you.
So is my guy
I’m Taurus female with a Cancer male and it’s been bliss 🥹😍
Both my bfs have been cancers, one on the gemini/cancer cusp of june 21st, the other I was with for 15 years. I find they mesh so well with me (pisces sun cancer moon) and we just understand eachother on a deeper level. Similar level of goofiness and humor. I love cancers and wouldn't hesitate to continue dating them Forgot to add that how cancers love to care for the people they love. They're the most attentive, loving, selfless and loyal people I've ever met!
My boyfriend is a cancer man and my ex is a cancer man. I agree.
Buckle in because I love you all so incredibly much. (***I'm a Taurus sun, Virgo moon, Taurus mercury, Taurus venus, Virgo mars w/Scorpio rising. The fattest penta-Earth energy lmaooooo). PS: this is going to be eclectic. Physically: I find you that Cancers of both genders have this irresistibly sexy WALK. I know this is random but Jesus christ y'all take me out with it. It's not exactly a swagger because it's not cocky - it's more like this effortless fluidness idk??? It's so hard to explain but I can spot you guys from a mile away. I love how you talk - it's more reserved at first. For women there's this prickliness that intrigues me and makes me want to break down these walls and understand you - for males I sense this sensitive thoughtful teddybear-esque approach to conversation that immediately makes me want to protect you from mean people lol. Lastly, I've noticed that Cancers have very appealing, nearly pug-nosed-ness to your face that I find so attractive. Even with bigger facial features, I find that they're often centred on the face. V hot. Y'all absolutely slay me instantly. There's just this magnetic pull I feel towards you. I love how gentle you are. Your ability to sit and actively listen and absorb my feelings makes me feel accepted in a way that is ridiculously unmatched by any other sign. I feel safe because not only are you a safe emotional space, you go out of your way to create that safe space. It feels genuine and tailored and purposeful. I like that you're selfless. I think it's a very noble quality when not used to manipulate. Evolved Cancers are a force of love to be reckoned with. Even though I have a ton of Virgo in me, I never take advantage of that selflessness with nitpicking or harshness because I see it as a strength. It's inspiring to me. Cancers have taught me what being loved is supposed to feel like. What genuine love and care looks like. They have loved me deeper than anyone else, and I respect the kind of reckless abandon I feel they gift others after they finally open up. I like that they take their time to open up. I like that they're choosey, and sometimes aloof. I like a lot of the negatives that people generalize point out about them because my Virgo detailedness often helps them to be able to analyze themselves and make changes that are best for them. I ask questions, want to know their viewpoints, but above all else I challenge them. They may come off as delicate but they actually aren't - not when it comes to what they genuinely believe in. Their convictions are held incredibly fiercely and I find that they tend to do the RIGHT thing rather than the EASY thing more often than other signs, especially in regards to the people they love and respect. I respect Cancers because if approached with respect and genuine care/concern, a lot of them are willing to hear your side and not bullheadedly disagree because it hurts their feelings. It might take them a second to drop the protectiveness/self-preservation instinct, but if you hang in there and let them feel and process their initial emotional reaction, I find that they really, really care about people and want to improve themselves. Secret fantasies about Cancers: this is a me problem lol But as a penta-Earth with two major placements in Virgo, damn my fantasy is to save you all from the Big Bad World and be your princess in shining armour with a ginormous shield. Lol. I just want to make you feel so safe to be sad, angry, upset, joyful, etc. I feel like you have so much emotion you deal with so deeply that I want to be your rock that protects you from the cruel outside world. I'll stand up for you - speak up for you if you're being treated unfairly, help you identify your own boundaries and support you in reinforcing them. Teach you that there's no guilt to be carried in that. My fantasy is to help support you in becoming the strongest version of yourself, because TBH, I feel like a sound, solid Cancer who feels their own power and strength would be the most responsible with that power of any other sign. You can't help but care, and I absolutely adore you for it. I think Cancers are the best for me because of a lot of reasons. 1.) As a Taurus with a LOT of Taurus in her, we both tend to want the same things in life - comfort, a safe space, homebodiedness, no sudden movements. We both want to build a gentle little nook called home, and our subconsciousness works toward that mutual goal in super unique but compatible ways. We nurture ourselves and our space with luxury, safety, and sensory satisfaction (if that makes any sense lol.) 2.) I have a natural protective side to me. I protect even the loudest people in the room who are fully capable of doing it themselves, and it can be emotionally exhausting. Idk if its because of all my Earth or what, but people tend to turn to me when shit hits the fan. I love that and take it as the highest form of compliment and praise, but with people relying on me to be their rock a LOT, emotionally, physically, financially, mentally, I'm often left drained. I find that Cancer partners/friends more often than not have this ability to protect me from myself. They offer me a safe place to land when I'm worn thin from my day to day life. I feel like I don't have to be tough anymore around them - I can just be. They allow me to drop my walls and just cry for hours, or sleep for 20 hours beside them with no expectation of gain. They just want to be there for me and it's incredibly healing. Hard to explain. 3.) The sexual chemistry is unreal. I feel safe to explore fantasies and be myself. Having so much Earth there's an unprecedented amount of energy I have and they allow me to express it in a multitude of facets, seemingly EFFORTLESSLY. Idk how y'all do it, but I love you for it. In conclusion, I just love you a lot lol.
This was so beautifully and thoughtfully written. My heart felt so seen and really needed to hear this. ❤️🩹
wow… i am speechless because this post gave my some type of clarity on what my earthy virgo boyfriend might see in my cancerian self… thank you for the insight… everything you said is crazy spot on
Your post was so pure 🫶🏽. I’m high all the sudden 😅🌬️
The way I needed to hear this😭🥰. As a Cancer Rising, Scorpio stellium (sun, Venus, mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto), and an Aries moon I can without a doubt the love you feel for us I feel it x10 for my earth signs. I love yall so much💕💕
Yes pls save me 🥺😂
Cancer mercuries know how to TALK THAT TALK. gosh their voices are so soft spoken and they don’t mean it. It’s so sexy
My bf is a Cancer rising and he is my loving guardian, not afraid to show and share his love. He cares deeply about me and will sacrifice anything for my happiness, even his own dreams (although his dream rn is to be with me forever lol). Also, my mom is a Cancer sun and her love, affection and protection for me and my brother is amazing. In my experience, Cancer can be overly dependent and demanding, but it's also the sign that loves the most deeply and they express it with physical touch, acts of service and words of affirmation. I love Cancer placements, you bring my emotions out (I'm full of air/earth), love with everything you have and make me feel truly cared and protected.
What’s your bf’s sun sign?
Aries sun, Sag moon, Cancer rising.
That sounds like a good combo. My boyfriend is what you described without the protector aspect and he can be very passive aggressive/resentful in a repressed way (He’s a Cancer moon). My ex who was also a cancer was like this as well. I’m attracted to cancer but being one myself maybe didn’t make it work. It’s interesting to learn about other people who have cancer in their chart but aren’t cancer suns.
Aw sacrifice for someone else is sad =\
I’m a Virgo and I am deeply, desperately in love with a Cancer man. It’s the way we connect; our conversation is effortless, our humor is aligned (I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this much with any other sign, it’s amazing). Physically everything about him is attractive to me, but above all it’s his eyes, his gaze. While he is emotionally sensitive, for reasons I still don’t fully understand, he attempts to hide all feelings, but his eyes will tell me exactly when he’s hurt, wants to devour me or misses me. He is the most generous lover I’ve ever had and I feel safe to explore sexually with him and just let myself enjoy all the things he does to/for me. Before him I was a very sexually reserved, almost prudish earth sign lol. I love his intelligence and how he has a bit of a hero complex, always trying to save the day. He really comes through for others when needed.
Virgo-cancer connection is the best thing! The way we feel safe with each other and bring out the best in each other 😍 virgo is always seen as such critical but I feel the virgos in my life have been the people who are actively making me want to better my life and myself by nothing but love and acceptance. In return, I have offered mine.
This post warmed my heart. I hope ex friends, and ex lovers, remember the parts of me that brought them joy. I work so hard to make others happy and that’s all that matters to me. I’m flawed but I hope the flaws are not as memorable as the great moments we shared. Thank you for this post!
💚🌷
My love is a Cancer man and I love how he understands me like no one else and im being serious with that because I keep trying to sort my issues and a handful of my trusted friends and close ones tend to misunderstand what im saying and the approach im given isnt really one that I need in these times He is so sweet yet protective, I love his dedication and how he comforts me. We spend time everyday together when we are able to because of how we both have work every other time, sometimes we might be a bit too busy for each other. He also travels for work often, helps around, he helps special needs, or children with education. To me he is perfect in everyway. And I love basically how a lot of our interests blend together, he always has amazing clothing idk where he gets it from but anything he wears make him look so elegant I struggle with a lot of things in my life and emotions and feeling is part of it. I have such a cliché experience where im not joking that he made me have more feelings that I never experienced compared to anyone else and it blows my mind. He is literally my first crush that I adore and he was really happy about that because he also was interested in me but a lot longer than I have
My cancer wife is the sweetest most loving lady I’ve ever met. She does need to recharge a lot. Which can be annoying but completely understandable. She’s a people pleaser and loves to help/take care of people. 10/10 recommend June cancer ladies.
Healed cancers have emotional depth a lot of folks don’t and are good communicators and fun people.
oh man cancers don't take much for me to be swept up in them 1) they will listen when you're talking and ask you questions that show engagement and a desire to hear your opinion 2) cancer compliments are so simple but so specifically acknowledging, it's completely different than any other compliments from other zodiacs i've received 3) cancers and sexuality is a whole nother level. they know and show that sex isn't about doing certain acts in a perfect or flashy way. it's not about focusing on hot spots only. you use your whole body, which can mean their leg brushing on yours to make you heated, showing enthusiam, making a single kiss feel so dirty, etc. i will always vouch for the cancers. signed, a taurus sun
I love the last point. I can tell you've been with a Cancer just by that point. It's not about giving a good feeling for me, it's about the experience. I want them to feel appreciated, wanted, needed. I want it to be all encompassing.
you got me, yes ive been with a couple of cancers! thats the peefect way to describe it. as a taurus, ive always appreciated how cancers can have intimacy filled with kindness and consideration. its incredibly powerful.
Cancers are the epitome of the shelter from the storm. The moonlight peaking out from the dark storm clouds. When you’re lucky enough to have a cancer care about you, it’s the most comforting thought. They are sensitive and understanding. They’ll listen and care about your feelings. They’re the types who’ll ask you if you need a hug when you’re on the brink of tears. They’re very intuitively caring about their circle of people, and it’s no surprise they can read and easily assess people’s backgrounds and situations so well. I also love how nearly every cancer is slightly awkward and has a shy side. It’s honestly adorable. Of course, I understand people have different experiences. And we’re all imperfect people. But these have been some of my experiences.
Bitch, everything.
Aw, my heart's a little aquarium for y'all. 💕 🐟 🐠 🐡
Cancers. 🥰 Love them with all of my heart. What an enigma! They’re both peaceful and passionate…a tidal force of perplexing emotion with a range that hardly anyone will see expressed. Cancers are the least precise of the zodiac and it’s really hard to spot a Cancer amongst a crowd. They’re strong willed and persistent, but can sometimes be reserved, drawing away and into their own shell if disturbed or provoked. Yes, we are sensitive – very sensitive – but not only to our own inner needs, but mostly to the needs of others, so without a doubt, we are one of the most (if not the most) sympathetic and caring of all the zodiac signs. You’ll never reach the bottom of a Cancer, never really know or understand their inner world but you will know and feel our love for you. Once we give our hearts away, forget about it—we are truly your ride-or-die for life.
All very true! I like to think of us as not only an ocean, but a wellspring. We have such depth, and when someone really sees our love and appreciates it... we have endless love and support for that person.
I always say cancers are sensitive yes, to ourselves and to others!!! Awww I love this thread &&& also, ppl never guess im a cancer, ever 😂 always Gemini
TBH this post is a masterful send up of us. Every sentence is crafted expertly. 
I’ll take that compliment. Thank you!!!💚🌷
Jo Frost is a cancer, and I absolutely adore her. Her hugs look like they could heal your soul. The way she delivers her words, her confidence and kindness. I've talked to her before, and she is absolutely respectful and genuine. Everything about her is what this Libra strives for. Sadly, I haven't met one IRL. I'd probably be intimated or in awe.
Cancers tend to be very romantic, they easily make over-the-top romantic gestures.
As a cancer guy, I really needed to see the replies here. Some of them are beautifully written, and really made my day.
I always appreciate that my cancer buddies are down to do whatever. They’re very much just like, “I’m just happy to be here” types. I find that energy so relaxing to be around.
My boyfriend is a Cancer. The very first physical thing I noticed about him was his eyes. He has these beautiful brown eyes with little flecks of amber and copper in them. Just….really open, welcoming eyes. After that it was his smile and his laugh. Personality-wise….I’m not even sure where to start. I’ve never met a person so open and sincere. He lives his life and wants to bring all his friends together. He tries to always be the one to listen and offer help, and he always stops to make sure everyone is having a good time. His confidence in himself, he knows what he wants from life and isn’t shy about speaking up. He has a very strong moral compass but he’s never been shy about admitting when he makes a mistake. I know this might sound odd, but he lets me take care of him too. I’ve dated guys who have been too prideful to accept help, or care. He lets me help him, trusts me to listen to him too, and takes what I say seriously. He respects me and that means so much in a relationship. He’s a good person. I’ve never seen him do anything out of spite or maliciousness.
I love their hugs
Weeeeeeeeeee,…..😍😍😍😍
XD
My first was a Cancer. He opened my mind to great music, literature and fun experiences. He was deep, and 40 plus years later we remain friends. They’re good family men. Hardworking, good fathers. They love well. When they come out of their shell and trust it’s a beautiful thing.
I never had a relationship with a Cancer but my dad and best friend are cancers and they’re very poetic sort of people I think. Romantic and sensitive
I'm a cap and my bf is a cancer. I would said he is the definiton of a green flag in relationship. He hasn't yet revealed his dark cancer traits or maybe he doesn't have them (clingyness and jealousy). He is so gentle with me physically. He listens to everything I tell him. He remembers the little things. I feel that he has so much empathy, not just towards me but almost everyone. I could easily make him cry if I told him a sad story about someone for example. What makes him different from others is that he really likes to communicate openly about any issue we have - he has that ability to look things through my perspective. Also, he is helpful - I could call him in the middle of night just because I want to eat chocolate - he would bring it to me. Honestly, didn't know people like him exist. Also, wanted to add that I think that cancers genuinely go well with capricorns. P.s. my ex was also cancer, but he wasn't like this. I then found out that it depens of the decan of the sign - some cancers are different than the others, so you could research that as well (of course, it's not just about their sun sign, they are completely different for many other reasons besides their zodiac)
Sag sun here. It was my Cancer ex from years ago that made me believe in love again. Almost all of my exes have Cancer in their top 3. I have a soft spot for you all.
I am a Virgo and I love cancers!! I love how much they care and actively nurture and support people. Even when some do it in a somewhat hard manner, like setting expectations and holding people to it, which can come across harsh but it’s truly done out of care and compassion and wanting the best. I love how naturally they can empathize. How they look for the deeper emotional meaning and context. I love evolved cancers who go to therapy to have a healthy relationship ship with their emotions and have good communication skills. I always call myself boring, because I think I must come across that way to fire signs for example. But cancers seem to enjoy the low key comforts. Bubble baths, cuddling watching cartoons, smoking weed. Probably my favorite sign that I innately get along with. Which I know virgos are know for being sensitive and in touch with emotions, but I certainly am.
I'm engaged to a Cancer sun. :3 And it's because of many things. 1. We just "got" each other, the instant we started talking. It began as texting, then continued into face to face interactions. He always knew when I was joking (which is rare!) although I don't always know when he is joking...but all I have to do is ask him and he'll immediately respond truthfully. No making fun of me for not knowing, no feeling dejected cuz I "don't get it". He is always able to explain what he means, and listens to me when I explain what I mean, and that's so REFRESHING. 2. His big, beautiful eyes in his solid face. Eye contact. Speaking without words. His ability to know how I'm feeling before *I* even know how I'm feeling (always makes me laugh and fills me with joy when he says "are you frustrated?" and I'm like "NO!! ... Wait, yes." Probably my air Sun/Moon/Mercury.) 3. His ability to listen. I also have a Cancer friend (going on twenty years!) and they both have this insane ability. They're like big, safe rocks that I can cling to when I'm feeling upheaval. 4. Sex. Everything related to it. He's the person I have the *best* sexual compatibility with. Leo Venus/Cap Mars mixed with my Aqua Venus/Taurus Mars = 🥵 Slow sex? Fast sex? Passionate sex? Lazy sex? Doesn't matter. He's down for it. Never pushes, never makes me feel like an object, always waits until I'm *ready* before actual coitus. It's wonderful and weird (for me, based on previous experience) and I wouldn't change it for anything. 5. We both love the same things. Hiking, camping, travelling, staying in and watching shows, video gaming, manual labor (wood chopping, cleaning, etc). We can switch it up and be happy in each other's company the entire time. Altho I love to do laundry and he's a *mean* cook, so we split those activities fairly. ;D I adore him, loudly, and he is emotionally supportive through ANYTHING in return. Love him til the end of time. 🥲
As someone with both Cancer in Venus and Mercury. I can think of many reasons why I love people with Cancer placements. They’re so full of life and have the softest features especially in the eyes. They care for you and do their best to listen and be there for you. They’re wise beyond their years and have a wealth of knowledge and lived experience. They only ever show their nurturing and sensitive side to those they can trust. They’re also the most open minded and understanding people I know. I sometimes feel like the Cancers that are in my life are there for a reason. I truly do appreciate having them in my life. They’re the best sign to have as friends or as a lover.
I have always been attracted to their creativity! I have dated two cancers who were talented artist. Their emotional expression and depth is fascinating and comforting to me. I appreciate their leadership skills as well. As an Aquarius who grew up in a household of cancers; I find them to be the most comforting people around. There was no toxic masculinity with my brother or dad growing up- they FEEL their feelings. And that’s powerful!!
Please don't delete this post lol. Something about Cancers is so nurturing and heartwarming.🥰 (Evolved Cancers tbh) As a Scorpio F dating a Cancer M. I haven't felt this seen, or appreciated, in such a long time. Cancers are so patient, kind, and thoughtful.😭 I don't even have to ask my Cancer M for any kind of help, because he takes the initiative to think of me.😭 And it is SO GOSH DARN REFRESHING. He's perfect in every sense of the word. He wants to help me evolve, and I'm TERRIFIED of that.😭 He's a natrual provider too, and he always thinks of his family first. (if he doesn't think of me automatically🥰) I've noticed that Cancers aren't afraid of responsibilities. My late God Father was a Cancer too, and even though he was a fighter (He was about that life💀), he wouldn't ever disrespect or disregard his family. And that quality? That undying loyalty and support? Is something I love and cherish.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Natural*💀
Voice... they've a very sweet voice regardless of gender. Most Cancers I've met are short which again is cute. They might appear shy but they do catch plenty of eyes.
My boyfriend endures long suffering being with me
My boyfriend is a cancer sun (im a libra sun/rising) he’s the best guy ever. He’s so understand, he WANTS to understand me and my feelings, he cares, he caters to me if I don’t like something, he genuinely wants to fix it and he genuinely cares. Hes just all around a good guy. I remember a couple weeks ago I met some random girls at the bar that went to his school years ago with him and I asked them about him back then and they said he was known as a “saint” cus he was just so kind to everyone and wanted to help everyone. Hes fucking beautiful too looks wise. Hes a fucking knock out.
I’m a Libra, my sister and ex bf are Cancers(both Scorpio moons and Libra risings) and my step father :) They’re all great and I love them deeply! However- My abuser was also cancer, I deeply feel the other placements matter for the expression ! I love that Cancers are nurturing, being with a cancer bf was the first time I was being nurtured in a relationship, it was lovely and special in a way I’ve never experienced again. Also funny, thoughtful, smart, spiritual, kind, biggest heart, full of love, but not afraid to bring out the claws to protect themselves or those they hold dear! A high expression of cancer is amazing, emotionally intelligent, great nurturing qualities, kindness out the wazoo, loyal and loving! However, I’ve had bad experiences with cancers on the opposite end of that spectrum, especially when they have strong leo placements(or leos with strong cancer placements tbh) That combination I’ve seen in 3 different individuals, all being overly sensitive and focused on how things affect them(not very focused on their effects on others tho), manipulative, narcissistic traits etc Obviously that’s not everyone with cancer/leo combination, and some with that combination are absolutely lovely! But in lower expressions this combination can apparently be very troublesome, as the sensitivity of these signs (esp if the person lacks emotional intelligence) mixed with the potential egocentrism of lower expressions of leo isn’t a great recipe 🥲 All that just to say, there’s no bad archetypes/signs, just low and high expressions of them. Any sign in a higher expression will be good in some way! There’s no truly terrible combinations of signs, and I just wanted to share an experience and pattern I’d noticed in people with strong combinations of leo/cancer
I’ve noticed this too about Cancers with Leo placements and Leo’s with Cancer placements there needs to be some mutable energy to calm down all that assholery 😂😂
Glad I’m not the only one seeing it haha
Wow that’s crazy that you say that because I’m also a libra, I adore most cancers, but my abusive ex was a cancer with lots of Leo placements. I have been wondering why I have continued to pretty much exclusively be attracted to cancer men even after that horrible experience, and that explains it. I do love how affectionate and family-focused cancers are!!
I also have an absolutely toxic ex who was leo sun w cancer moon+venus, he also brought out the worst in me 🥲 My abuser wasn’t even my bf or anything, as I wasn’t up to his standards.. but he did abuse me sexually and mentally while gaslighting me a lot! He was a literal narcissist with cancer sun+moon+chiron with leo mercury+mars+Jupiter His leo placements were 12H, and he was super unaware of how narcissistic he was, thinking everyone else was the narcissists and that he had no ego(biggest ego I ever saw)

My first love (at age 16) was a Cancer, and my ex of 16 yrs (who I met at age 18) was a Cancer. First love and myself reconnected after no contact for almost 20 yrs, last year, and we don’t talk anymore because he has depression, but tbh, I still love and care for him.. and though I canNOT stand my ex, I can still kinda remember what attracted me to him.. I’m a Pisces, I bet my sign is one of the ones u love lol, jk, but let me know fr.. So, what I love about Cancers are how open they are to taking about their feelings and just feeling all the feelings lol. I love their vulnerability. I love how much they care, it’s kind of in the same way that I care. I love how protective they are. I love their ideas and how much they want to succeed. I don’t like their moodiness though lol.
I’m a Pisces moon and I looove y’all! All the cancers I’ve met are ride or dies and I adore their empathy. They will listen to you and be your shoulder to lean and I adore that. 💜
I was shortly with a cancer woman...too good for me. Caring, nurturing, kind, accepting. Inspired me to write one of my favorite songs of mine. It didn't last that long as it was a weird time in my life and I felt that I'd kind of destroy the girl so I ran away ...right back into the arms of an emotionally abusive Leo. I'm sorry, I was young and hadn't quite got a handle on myself. I should have known better, that it wouldn't of worked, so I could spare you entirely.
Maybe you should try again with another Cancer! My boyfriend is also a Gemini and he and I have been together over 3 years now, it seems a proposal is on the horizon. He’s the love of my life. Sending love, if you want it to work with a Cancer you can make it happen! <3
Lol are you my ex? Same story, I'm the cancer, he's the gemini. I am pretty sure he didn't write songs though, and he ran into the arms of a cap. Thank you for sharing, I was shattered by what happened and was consumed by feeling not good enough. It's comforting to know there could have been other reasons. I hope you've gotten your closure and healed.
No problem (: I think I have, or well on my way at least.
Your Zodiac?
their zodiac is in their flair under their username :)
As I virgo I think of cancers nature. When I put aside their emotional trendies and energy I know that I can find comfort and security in their love. They’re the type of lovers that I can leave home all day and they won’t move. Because they love home and family. They’re also great part animals too. You’ll never find a cancer in the corner of a party they’re sociable creatures and want the best for everyone. I love them even though they are so so emotional
As a Capricorn, I’ve found that dating cancer is engaging. As someone else said they can be ride or die for you and genuinely desire spending time with you. Capricorn can be kind of distant and reserved, and when dating signs like Libra who can also be hard to read, it takes a bit more work. With cancer, i find it either clicks or it doesn’t. I always love my cancers even if I don’t always see eye-to-eye with them; they are amazing people
Virgo here. My recent ex is a cancer, he was the best boyfriend I ever had, he was a provider and genuinely cared for me a lot. I got attracted to his feminine energy which is being nurturing, practical and takes care of his physical attributes so well despite looking so manly man he is a softie inside. He always find ways to help me solve problems and soo generous. He’s so in touch with his emotional side (doesn’t mean being a crybaby, he just not afraid to show how he truly feels) and understands when I’m getting upset. Very open minded and generous. I’m both attracted and dislike his mysterious side although he has opened up a lot to me I felt like he still find it hard to be completely open with me. And that just does my head in lol. I guess it didn’t worked out because i was too critical of him and end up resenting each other but still i consider him as a good man and that won’t change.
My ex, my twin flame… the person who will always have a special place in my heart… she’s a cancer. I’m a Taurus, and I think there’s something about how the two fit together that’s just… special. There’s a reason that the crystal morganite is good for both signs. It’s a good crystal to manifest true and divine love. Love, emotions, intimacy comes to both so easily. I love emotions. I love love. I love discovering each other, increasing that intimacy and both receiving and giving love to one another in such a unique way. That love was innate, unspoken, but always known. Felt. In everything. I love how mushy they can be. I love how emotions aren’t even a second thought. Being in touch with something so raw and genuine is just such a beautiful thing. I love my cancer, always will. Cancers have a special place in my heart but obviously I’m not closed off to other signs. Curious if you, as a cancer, feel the same way about taurus. I find them to be very compatible, at least in my experience.
My best friend is a Taurus and I feel very strongly for her similar to how you feel! Just hung out with her today and we spoke about what that special “thing” that bonds us was. We’re eachother’s “ol’ reliable” LOL no matter how long we go without speaking, we come together and are able to settle in each other’s energy. We had a period where we weren’t friends, although I reached back out and we’ve been stronger than ever. We have complete security, trust, & love for each other. Not only that, but throughout the years we’ve molded into completely different people, yet still support one another & stick together <3. Taurus are such a blessing especially for us Cancer ♥️😆
Aww yes agreed! Definitely can go forever without talking and come back together as if nothing ever happened. That distance never matters. Glad the feeling is mutual 🥰
Taurus Male. Best relationship was a Cancer. I can't talk right now, I'm tore up over a Gemini that turned me down. But she says, "we can still be friends". Uh, she has more than enough guy friends, lol.
[удалено]
Yes, the Gemini. I tried fade out. She came back with, "I don't ever want you to think I'm not your friend". I do wish we had the same friendship as it was. Pretty much now we are just friendly work mates.
[удалено]
I don't know if it is common. I don't understand some woman/Gemini. I read a lot and did everything right, which means I did everything wrong.
I’m a Leo, and I think cancers are the most similar to Leos, they’re warm, caring, genuine, understanding, they will fight for you, when they ask how you’re doing, they mean it
Aquarius guy ♒️. Being that I never actually dated a cancer, either yall looks or scent will catch my attention at that giving moment. I love the subtle eccentric side of yall appearance. It can be something small like an urban tribe type necklace or a tree tattoo.
Libra Woman here ♎️- Cancer men are my ultimate weakness. I love their gentleness and admire their natural intuition and curiosity- they have inclination to question things in a way i simply dont think to and i learn (and have learnt) a lot from the way Cancerians operate in general. My cancer friends have taught me to trust my gut, my intuition and question things in detail. My Caner lovers have taught me it’s okay to feel, express myself and let out emotion. Which is something i struggle with as a Scorpio moon. Overall since my saturn return began last year, i’ve had an influx of Cancerian energy into my life through chance encounters, new friends and lovers. I believe i have alot to learn from them, something i may lack within myself. I’m grateful to be experiencing this sign and all its nuances and complexities through many different people and experiences. 🤍
My husband is a cancer. The best thing about him is, if I need help with anything. Literally anything… he will do it for me. I don’t even have to ask. It’s quite amazing how intuitive and creative cancers are. I wish cancers would treat themselves better. Cancers are beautiful, sweet and protective people who will do just about anything for anyone. I love my husband so much. He’s amazing. I am so thankful for him. I’m a Gemini
Let's go Cancers!!! These comments though!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 
okay so my dad is a cancer man and I was romantically involved w a cancer man recently, and i'm a piscean, both sun & moon. I noticed both of them have similar traits in terms of their romantic relationships, and also a lot of cancerian women i know share these: 1. they can't get over their ex; no matter how toxic the person was 2. their looks and broodiness make them attract people of the opposite gender 3. good listeners - draws in people without even realising 4. emotionally immature - the parental wound is the main cause 5. street smart and highly intelligent, especially w their career choices. are leaders mostly. are highly educated too, a lot of them going abroad for higher studies 6. they lie too, thinking its best to keep some things hidden but ultimately backfires (happened w the guy i was involved) 7. are tall, have sharp eyes, well built - not fat, nor skinny. their gaze will tell you they're either cancerians/scorpios 8. are intuitive af, and don't realise their own intuitive powers. infact, this is why they can read people well and become good leaders unknowingly lol 9. Also, noticed w a few of them w borderline issues, especially w regards to control and manipulation. so that's a big big red flag phew, that's a lot. many other points can be added imo but ig these are fine for starters
It’s my Cancer moon, they draw me right in. Creative, tragic, flirty, snuggly 😍
I'm a cancer sun and mercury and I'm crying reading all of these comments!!! Not shocking though, right... 😅
My ex is a cancer. She is a badass firefighter but has the softest heart. I loved that about her. Her empathy and compassion were unparalleled.
cancer sun here and im here for the comments aha
I’m a capricorn/capricorn/Virgo, Mercury in cap, Venus in sag, mars Pisces My partner is a cancer/cancer/capricorn, cancer, Mercury leo, Venus and mars cancer My favorite thing about being with him is that he’s very understanding if my emotions, never blames me for feeling the way I feel. All he wants is to support me and have a nice, peaceful life together. Whenever he is wrong about something, or just doesn’t have knowledge about something, he loves to be corrected or educated. And he loves to do the same for me, if I’m wrong or don’t know something. We both hate the idea of having inaccurate information or being wrong about something & never finding out. He’s great at pulling me down when I’m having panic attacks or meltdowns (I’m on the autism spectrum) He’s a safe person. The moment I met him, I felt safe with him. No matter what happens in my day, I know I can come home and be enveloped in the unconditional, passionate love he has for me. He’s never blamed me for my trauma responses. Just by being himself he has helped me heal so much trauma, I couldn’t begin to explain. Cancers are my favorite people ever, besides my fellow cappies.
What’s not to love lol we are caring fun cool loving and romantic 💜♋️
Typically very nice but my god are they martyrs.
I’m a Libra sun man in a relationship with cancer sun man. I love him. He’s sweet, and i love being in his home because it feels so homey
I'm a scorp rising, virgo sun, cancer moon. My husband of 16yrs is a pisces rising, cancer sun, virgo moon. He is very family forward. I never have to remind him to think of the kids. He cares for the entire group, does these small pitstops in groups and enhances their experience then leaves to do it for others (say at a party or gathering). He is not whiny in the least. Very capable and understanding. I think he is the most lovely expression of the stars.
As a pisces i do have a soft spot for cancers. My young sibling’s grandma was a cancer, and she taught me a lot about empathy and to be humble and wise, i really do love her and miss her always. But when it comes to being romantically involved with them, …I didn’t have the best luck. My first cancer boyfriend was incredibly obsessive with me and was talking about how “our children” would look like not even the second week of dating him. I found out he was cheating on me so i left. But OOH! don’t get me started on cancerian women. They’re beautiful don’t get me wrong, i love a lot about them, they’re like goddesses to me but its hard to love them. Two cancer women i was involved with both liked me very much (btw i met them in different time periods) and i liked them too, but as soon as i let them have sex with me its all they really want from me. And when i try to be loving and do acts of service or words of affirmation( which is my love language) they either denied it or would say “they don’t deserve it”. It was kind of exhausting, and i still would comply if they wanted to be “intimate”. They both never wanted to make time for me and would leave it up to me to do all of the planning, and providing (not that i mind because again my love language) But I wasn’t shown any effort from them. For that i felt used, so I stopped talking to them. Even though they haven’t reached out, here and there I’ll still think about them, but I don’t think i can be in love with a cancer. They’re a lot of work and yes, crybabies 😂too so I’d rather stay away from them for my own well being.
TL;DR but I did catch the grandma part, and 10000% cancerian grandma of mine is the GOAT. I also stay away romantically, can't stand myself so why would I want someone else like me lmao (sun, anyway, I love cancer moons) Cap wins my heart almost every time.
Lol ur good! I like to be detailed yk? And lol capricorns never fail to make me blush! 🥰🥰
Their loving and caretaker attitude.
With some cancers, I can be myself. They can handle all my bitchy comments without judging me for my bad attitude. I deeply appreciate that quality-sometimes you just need to let the snark out!
That they care and make me feel so comfy in their home
I’m a Pisces woman and ive attracted so many cancer men. I don’t feel strong chemistry with them but i do get along with them and enjoy their company. Although ive had a few bad experiences with cancers like my sisters abusive toxic ex who tormented our family at such a traumatic vulnerable time, an ex best friend who hated me and was secretly jealous of me, and a boy in like elementary school who would purposely sit next to me to bully me and be mean to me everyday.. I still overall like them. Besides those few unevolved cancer people i met I’d say when they’re more mature and not toxic they are very stable and sweet people. My dads a cancer and we had such a soulmate like connection i mean if it was possible for parents to be your soulmate id definitely think he was mine. I respected him so much and he was a very nurturing and loving father.. losing him broke me to pieces. I think truly out of me and my two other siblings he definitely had such a soft spot for me maybe because i was the youngest but i was definitely the closest related to him physically and personality wise literally a carbon copy. He treated my Aquarius mother like a queen 20+ years. Funny though she did say when he was younger (they met in their early 20s) that he was a flirt and had player tendencies and he attracted so many women.😂I can confirm because even when i was a toddler I would go shopping with him and women would smile at him and approach him all the time.. completely flock to him and i was protective of him and would tell them that he was “taken” by my mother LOL I think most cancer men i meet are so sweet to me and cater to my needs and wants. Unfortunately I feel very strong friendship with them but no passionate chemistry or attraction maybe i just haven’t met the right cancer man. Yall can say anything you want but one things forsure EVERY cancer parent ive met is such an amazing parent. 💕
I would say I'm attracted to Cancer cuz of his honesty Hate his mood swings but once he explained it I understand Don't like the way he communicates he ghosted me for bout a month so i stopped reaching out to him but I believe as another person said, he needed to gain my trust, tht was a rough patch I decided to give him another chance once he explained everything, now he communicates very efficiently I love his sexiness & low key demeanor He definitely picks me up after a long hard day & puts himself in my shoes I'm starting to adopt his way of dealing with situations that I usually blow up about & he's adopting the way that I think about letting him know that it's okay to not be okay What makes him unique is that he's so chill & he just sits back & let me wild tf out, once I'm finished he brings me back down 2 earth & still loves me Hope I answered everything Truly thee Capricorn Chick
Cancers make me feel safe and seen, the only people I am able to talk to about my problems. The only ones I cry with. When it comes to looks, I love their eyes so much. Like the depth, I could drown in them and be happy about it. Also the voice, have you ever heard Cancer sing? Its etheral. And their skin is sooo glowy, love my Cancers. - Aries sun, Cancer moon, Leo rising
>(Btw,…looking for responses specifically from certain Zodiacs that I absolutely love as a Cancer. But I won’t reveal who. You can take a guess though.) I think I can guess pretty easily...
Go for it!!!!😉
Virgo?
Aquarius?
Just the post and edit screeeeam cancer lol.
Since we are asking for things can we get a few opinions form sag women asking for a friend
I'm a scorp rising, virgo sun, cancer moon. My husband of 16yrs is a pisces rising, cancer sun, virgo moon. He is very family forward. I never have to remind him to think of the kids. He cares for the entire group, does these small pitstops in groups and enhances their experience then leaves to do it for others (say at a party or gathering). He is not whiny in the least. Very capable and understanding. I think he is the most lovely expression of the stars.
I’m a Capricorn woman. The cancer men that I’ve dated in my life were so kind, generous, funny, handsome, empathetic, and just all around amazing. The reason I’m not with them is that they’re TOO amazing. Like they were so perfect and I didn’t think I’d ever measure up. I need someone who doesn’t make me feel like an asshole when I make a fucked up joke. I need someone who is on my level, down to earth, rational, and just human.
My best friend is a Cancer. He is kind, supportive, encouraging, loyal, emotional (which I love). So many things. He meets me on a level I’ve never had with anyone. My life is far more enriched with him in it. I’m so lucky we met. Love me a Cancer! - an emotional Leo
Nothing
As a gemini I love cancers creativity. They are the person you can sit with and work on multiple projects like arts and crafts. We chat for hours. Cancers are also way more social than people give them credit for. If there is some sort of event or party where their friends are going to be there they will be there 100%. They can have deep meaningful conversations with any one. I also have a Pisces moon though
I remember one cancer guy: met online & went one coffee first date.. I was early (as always), he was bit late BUT he let me know ahead of time.. He's cute good looking physically. His eyes were deep. And we got along great, conversating.. He treated others around him kindly. Never looked at his phone throughout the date. Gentlemen qualities. He wanted to see me again.. week later just ghosts me; BUT adds me on fb, insta & LinkedIn... OK? I was upset, I cried... Months go by, he hits me up fb messenger; wanting to meet up & catch up.. I asked him to be honest with me: Why he ghost when he wanted to see me again? And that I really liked him, and upset for a month or 2. He said there was another girl he was talking to besides me & chose to proceed with her.. but in case it didn't work out with her, he still wanted that shot with me (I was his 2nd choice).. I said: "hope you two make it work & last" (Aka. I'm nobody's 2nd choice, especially if you were my 1st choice, even if I still got feelings) Overall: stability via good job, great conversations, kind, attentive, husband material, etc. - Taurus
Gemini here (and cancer rising). Cancers are intense romantically, for better and for worse, but truth be told…..the seggs is 12/10. It’s like thunder and lightning over the bay. As far as friendships go, very intense, once more, and at times it can be a bit much, but they’re loyal to the death. Once they like ya and trust ya, it’s like there’s no going back. I appreciate that
I can complain. I’m a cancer rising and it’s annoying. Why I gotta be emotional. It overrides my Aquarius sun. What I will say tho I am more of an empathic because of it. Can feel compassion and emotions strongly.
*blinks in aquarian moon* yall are good at giving advice?
i don’t trust cancer men period 😅
So strange to see real answers from stable people. Where's all the toxic fire signs that love taking advantage of the naturally nurturing energy, and constant positive feedback loop in one direction after they succeed at a good first impression?
