You have a very realistic nature but sometimes you can be extremely melancholic and have extremes of temper. You are fun loving but tend to hide your finer feelings so find it difficult to trust others and become wary. You are a reliable friend and are always guaranteed to be there but can get hurt if others let you down.

You try to dominate, in your professional and personal life, but on the whole need other people. You love new ideas and can be relied upon to do the unexpected. No matter how high you rise in life you will never forget your humble beginnings, you are no snob. You generally manage to live in comfort and you know how to enjoy yourself.

The Cancer lover is intense and physical. You are passionate, possessive and jealous but you must guard against this, because your jealousy is all consuming and your desire for revenge is implacable. Appearances are important to you but in the end you chose with your head rather than your heart. You are impulsive and go after the object of your affections with a single minded intent. You are sulky when you feel rejected and clingy when you need reassurance, you need to be needed, and you need to be mothered. You don't wear your heart on your sleeve.

The Cancer man has deep feelings and emotional needs and often dependency. Once adult, cancer men are still looking for the nurturing, protecting woman who will always forgive them, always understand them, care for them and shelter them. The mother- son tie is one that cancer men find it hard to break and their relationships can suffer because of this.

The Cancer woman looks for maternal men who will be kind and gentle with her. She has a wonderful gift for making a warm loving home. She is placid and affectionate and passionate. She is a contented spouse and once she has got what she wants, no one can prise it from her. To her, all men are essentially children, to be cosseted and loved.
