Don’t let your sweet Cancerian nature become sickening…
You are considerate, empathetic, and compassionate—and who doesn’t need a little more of those qualities in their life? You want to encase a partner in a protective shell of comfort and security and feel just as nurtured by him or her.
If you know that you belong to another person, as well as to a location and a loyal group of friends and/or relatives, you are contented. Your caution is to take care that the mothering doesn’t turn into smothering. You want to embrace another gently, not cling for dear life.
Crabs have what it takes to find true love…
All you have to do is listen to your true Cancer heart.
You’re choosy. Unlike some other signs, you set your partner priorities and stick to them. Where others rush into love, you’re content to bide your time.
You’re honest. You may not open up easily or often, but when you do, you say what you mean and mean what you say.
You trust your instincts. You don’t hang around if someone is cold or indifferent. You’re intuitive, so you get the message and move on.
You’re cautious. Sometimes “chemistry” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Just because you see a stunner across the room, that doesn’t mean the person is good partner material!
This gift will always win Cancer’s loved ones over…
Do you need to find a gift for someone important in your life (or a special treat for yourself)? You can’t go wrong with gleaming, sophisticated silver. A charm bracelet is beautiful, personal, and nostalgic.
From Tiffany’s to flea markets to department stores, you can find classic or playful charms to illustrate the recipient’s life and interests. And you know how much Cancer loves to collect things! Your gift will become a cherished heirloom that can be added to and passed through generations. For men, a pair of vintage or modern silver cufflinks would be classy and stylish.
The unmistakable sign that a Cancer is smitten…
Would there even be family units if there were no Cancers? Their world centers on partner, kids, siblings, parents. “Loyalty” is Cancer’s middle name, and it remains undying toward any person or persons who help the Crab feel secure and loved.
But it isn’t easy for Cancers to trust another person. That’s why they have that tough shell, after all—to protect their soft, vulnerable core. The ultimate sign of potential Crab commitment is an invitation to meet the parents or those from their inner circle. Get a glimpse of that gooey, sentimental heart and you know you’re in for keeps.
The super easy way Cancers can make more friends…
You know you aren’t a chatterbox like Gemini, but you aren’t alone if you find it hard to talk to strangers of the opposite sex. A study found that 45% of men say their biggest dating problem is that they don’t know how to start a conversation with a woman!
Setting aside the obvious “hello,” you can help ease the anxiety by being prepared with your own arsenal of engaging topics the next time you go to a party, out with friends, or on a date with a new guy or gal. It doesn’t have to be astrophysics (and it’s probably better if it isn’t) but steer clear of politics and religion until you get to know each other better!
There’s one type of date you should never say no to…
Thoughtful, romantic Cancer loves good food, so a quiet bistro with excellent cuisine will never be off the mark. Listen to your companion’s deepest thoughts and craziest ideas—no one exudes sympathetic agreeability like the Crab. And bask in the well-deserved compliments you’ll receive in return.
A concert, opera, or theatrical performance is also a good choice for this expressive, emotional sign. Lucky you, if you’re asked out on a date by a Cancer. By the end of the evening you will feel loved, cared for, and understood.
What to look for in a happy, stylish, cozy home…
Cancer is the sign most closely associated with domesticity and family life. As such, your ideal home needs ample space for entertaining, perhaps with an open living or kitchen area where people can talk, cook, and enjoy being together.
A huge dining table, comfortable chairs, and utilitarian floor coverings will foster convivial crowds with minimal fuss. Embellish with a seaside theme or family photos and heirlooms, important to Cancer.
You also cherish your privacy, so a comfy bedroom in clean, crisp whites, aquatic hues, or deep blues provides the perfect sanctuary for the Crab.
This odd scent may be the secret to Cancerian bliss…
If you’re searching for a new scent but don’t know where to begin, one idea is to start with the herbs and flowers associated with your sign: rosemary, comfrey, larkspur, honeysuckle, and coriander.
Try Ineke’s Scarlet Larkspur. How about Jo Malone’s Grapefruit Cologne, which has notes of rosemary and vetiver? You can find acanthus-scented candles, invigorating rosemary body washes, and soothing comfrey soaps.
Try a few of the many colognes and perfumes that feature honeysuckle or, yes, coriander! And the aptly named Silver Scent for men by Jacques Bogart combines rosemary, citrus, and spice.
A calmer disposition can be as easy as taking a breath…
Being ruled by the moon means you’re subject to being influenced by the moods of others. At its worst, that can add to your anxiety, or even just sap your energy and divert your attention. Lucky for you, the solution is only a breath away. Inhaling and exhaling fully and deeply can instantly boost your energy, relax your body, and help you be more alert. Your sign rules the lungs, so you should use them to their fullest potential!
If you’re feeling on edge, breathe through your nose and draw air deep into your lungs, allowing your diaphragm to contract downward. Exhale and push the carbon dioxide out of your lungs. Repeat. You’ll feel better in no time!
