The most beautiful season for all, the summer starts with one of the most sensitive and emotional Zodiac signs – the Cancer Zodiac sign. This is the sign that belongs to the Venus, the Mercury the Moon, but maybe the Moons impact is the most pronounced. The nature of Cancer man is cold, watery and phlegmatic in a way. They may seem as humans that are reserved and shy.
One rule applies to Cancer people and man also – it is very difficult to get to know him and make him lower his guard and let you into his world. But, once done, you will have a friend for life. If you’ve already managed to get such a friend, make sure you never hurt him. They are not among those who are vindictive but from those people who will quietly suffer and return to their shell.
In general, the Cancers are complicated, fragile, unpredictable and temperamental in many ways; they continuously need support and encouragement so they can move on and progress in life. For the Cancer, it is essential to be (to feel) needed by someone more than any other astrological sign. Even when all needs are met, they can be irritable and nervous — delicate and challenging personality.
Due to their contradictory nature, Cancer is prone to frequent mood swings, and people who are in close connection to him must be aware of this fact. They are easily insulted and are for a long time indifferent and are left to self-pity if their emotions are hurt.
Good Traits
The Cancer man has extremely strong emotions, and he is very sympathetic, deeply intuitive and attached to the family and the people who are surrounding him. His ruling planet is the Moon, and it gives him the ability of a psychological breakthrough and often makes him behave oddly towards people who are prone to direct access, but he is never a manipulator.
He lives by some rules that he rarely breaks, and expects the same from others, believing that he will make others better.
In his life, almost everything has a firm attitude and solid ground because it helps him to conceal great sensitivity and tendency to get hurt successfully.
He is extremely sensitive but still durable and adaptable to many of the lives situations, whether good or bad. His ability to get to know the deepest human drama (emotionally) can lead him to exaggeration both in good and bad. These exaggerations can show the right dimension of his stubbornness, which unpleasantly surprises people in their vicinity. He does not look back at this; most often staying “faithful” with his ideas and attitudes, and with this persistence, the easiest way is to succeed.
He is a socially sensitive human being and the one that is very traditional – even in modern times; he will be faithful to the old values. Intuitively the Cancer man is touching people for help, and because of the deep and open vision of understanding the lives he carries, he can look at all the problems of man and are able to offer help to anyone who finds himself in his vicinity, especially if it is an emotional sorrow.
Bad Traits
The Cancer man is open when he wants to be, he can speak of his emotions, and in those times he requires additional attention, and he wants to listen (he demand it). The most important thing in communication with Cancer man is that you do not interrupt him, because in such a situation you can pull into your armor forever. He will never open again, and you will lose the chance to get to know him a bit closer.
The problem arises when Cancer man becomes too sensitive or attempts to take over all of the issues of this world -just like a hero, he will try to act like a superman, but he will break inside and slowly crumble. Moderate compassion is one thing, but is so devoted to a person that you start losing yourself – it’s not healthy, and they can be just like that, entering unhealthy states of mind.
Also, the negative features of the Cancer man are that if he is negative, he is the only one who is badly affected and does not endanger the people around them. Sometimes the Cancer does not have enough strength to deal with their lives, and is often pessimistic, seeing the world through the dark glasses. Shyness and indecision can be so intense that they affect his career progression and the whole life of Cancer man in general.
The Cancer man is not an optimist when negative things are happening, and he can get out of this situation by giving up. This must be corrected if he wants to succeed in anything.
In some extreme cases, the Cancer man can be very tragic and non ambitious, and the primary disadvantage is too much sensitivity, often due to his life. When someone hurts him, even a stranger on the street, he pulls himself back; in some cases, he is the man who cries. Crying is not strange to him, because he can cry even for the smallest thing, especially when someone is unjust towards him. In these moments he becomes the worst version of himself, the man that exaggerates with food and alcohol, or he can become extremely lazy and non-interested in work and any progress.
Cancer Man in Love
The one word that describes the Cancer man entirely is the word “feel” – he always shows his emotions, tenderness and care, this is love for him, and he does not shy away from this expressions.
For a partner, they usually choose a person who can understand them better – they need to feel that their lovers understand them and that they are listening to every word they are saying. As a lover, Cancer man searches for an equally intuitive person who loves children and can imagine being in a marriage for a lifetime.
When he loves you, you can be sure that you will always be under his protection and care. Then he is a charming person who is always ennobled by the true depth of feeling.
During some early ages, and in his youth, he can be pretty unfaithful in love, but with one woman (when he deeply falls in love), they are infinitely in love, and he will never cheat on her. That woman should be the dominant woman, and he should be with successful, ambitious partners who manage their lives.
The Cancer man can be a little slow in acting and showing his affection, but he continually strives for love excitement, and lives for love. For him, love is everything and must be swayed through all aspects of their lives. The Cancer man is continuously looking for tenderness. At first glance, many Cancers seem cool and uninteresting, but it is just a defensive mechanism. When love happens to him, he surrenders to the limit and is ready to give his all to stay in that cloud for a long time.
One more thing needs to be said – the problem with Cancer man is that he so often falls in love, and then he makes mistakes, and when he is left by his partner, the Cancer man will be suffering for a long time.
Cancer Man in a Relationship
This Zodiac sign is the most difficult to get to know, or in some way to conquer; to be with the Cancer man in a relationship you need to be one of those people who love to listen and understand. If you are not one of these people, you should give up on Cancer man when it is time.
He is sensitive generally in life, and especially when it comes to love and relationships. The Cancer man is a gentle and caring partner, but he also expects the same from his partner that has to understand him fully. The too ambitious, too strong and self-sacrificing women will surely never get the attention from the Cancer man. He hates when women are acting inappropriately and are overly modern, he loves the ones that will share his views of the word, but this does not mean that they do not love when his lover is successful.
Offer him loyalty, honesty and attention, and he will be yours. Cancers in general and males especially highly respect the virtues of a patriarchal value and marriage. He is a good material for a husband and a good father in the family.
He is also reliable, devoted and responsible partner, and expects the same from his lover. Do not give them a reason to doubt, because as soon as Cancer man starts to doubt you, know that you have lost all chances. They know how to construct the whole story based on suspicion, and will track you down, and leave you without looking back. So be careful with the Cancer man never to make a stupid mistake, or do anything suspicious that will jeopardise your status in his heart.
That’s why you just have to give up, to surrender, without thinking and fear.
If you think that you will hurt his feelings, and then do not start with him anything meaningful, because emotions are the most important to the Cancer man.
When someone (but in particular we mean a person who he loves, a long-term partner) hurts him, he easily lets the person down the water. If you do not want to fall in love with you, then run away, because they, besides being overly sensitive, the Cancer man can be too overtaken by himself and tend to enter the stages of self-pity and depression because of unrequited love.
Best Match for Cancer Man
Having all in mind, the Cancer man is an ideal partner for love, family and marriage. Which woman would not want such a man, but the question is how to win it?
He is very romantic, and with him, you will enjoy many romantic moments with the Cancer man. Also, he is very clever and therefore good interlocutor and adviser. He will never get into the adventures for one night, or maybe just when he is very, very young. His warmth and emotions are opposed to everything that is material, but to have them in your life you have to work hard.
His ideal partners are Taurus and Virgo, and in these rows, we will explain why the case is.
The connection between Taurus and Cancer is not a very passionate one but is the one that can truly work. This connection could succeed when Taurus suppressed her stubbornness and the Cancers emotionality. In any case, both Cancer and Taurus in this connection should be ready for a compromise. Only that will always be happy, and all other characteristics could match perfectly, and they could last longer. But, both of them should learn the value of compromise and the art of communication.
Another sign that could be a perfect match is a Virgo. These two can be a good love connection often works because Cancer and Virgo are aware that they need to fight for love and happiness. The Cancer man is a home-made type and, as such, in the worthy, and the “mature” Virgos find their soul mates. Both the Cancer and the Virgos have very fine senses, and are hedonists and enjoy cooking together, and beings very intimate. Since both are very demanding partners, they should provide more than they can objectively in this connection.
In this case, also, the art of communication must be present, and they need to learn how to say stop when their demands are in question. If they are stubborn all the time, this relation will be problematic, and if not, they could be very happy together.
Cancer Man as a Friend
Cancer man will give you all your best, but it will also be a lot to expect in return. Careful, gentle and perfect in the preparation of pleasant dinners, Cancer man is loyal but expects his friends to be attached to it.
He is loyal to the people who value and support them, and one of the most beautiful features of Cancer is their ability to make others feel good in their skin and loved ones. Others can rely on Cancer man because they will be questioned if they have a problem and help them.
However, he rarely expresses his feelings that hide deep inside. People who want to share their emotional thoughts with Cancer man can feel that the scale is tilted only on one side since Cancer rarely reveals his deep feelings. Cancer’s friend is usually someone he knows for a long time and who he can trust.
Desperately looking for tenderness, and love and friendship are the most important things in the Cancer man life. Amazingly, he can change moods, and these changes are due to the Moon, his ruler, the dominant planet. They have a Moon effect that leads to tides and oceans in the oceans.
There is no doubt here that a person who can give so much love, just like a Cancer man does, will enjoy friendships that are amazing. He is an amazing friend – the Cancer man who is always ready to give a wide and open hand of friendship, of course, if it does not conflict with his family obligations.
He, above all, respects their friends and enjoys their family gatherings. His intuitive nature, where the heart is more important than the head, makes him very compassionate, but for this reason, it is sometimes difficult to understand him, and it takes a special person who will put up with him.
Cancer Man as a Father
The Cancer man is an excellent father, traditional and full of paternal love. All aspects of the family are in the first place in his life, which can be seen in his home and dedication to the obligations in the house. He is a deeply sentimental and prone to diligent preservation of family memories.
Some say that the Cancer man can be a perfect father who provides the unconditional love and care more than any other Zodiac sign. He knows what his child may need, and he is very intuitive. He has a great memory and is good at reading people, and you could imagine the strength of the connection that he has with his child.
