A Cancerian Woman knows exactly what they want and won’t stop until she gets it
The Moon rules the Cancer woman, and her moods wax and wane like the lunar cycle. Fluid like mud, she is both passionate and calm. She is a tidal force of perplexing feeling, and in the same hour, she can be persistent, obedient, angry and docile. This sign is the least reliable of the zodiac and you would be hard-pressed to find a Cancer woman among the crowd. She is highly willing and persistent, but if disturbed or provoked, she can sometimes be cautious, drawing away and into her own shell.
This is the zodiac's first water sign and the Moon rules the Cancer woman, endowing her with brilliant intuition and creativity. She is deeply intuitive, and if she says she doesn't feel right about someone, note pays. She won't know the explanation, but sooner or later she'll definitely be proven right. Similarly, if someone is to be trusted, her unerring instinct would tell her at once. It's not about being judgmental-it's about emotions and intuition.
The Cancerian woman is sensitive - very sensitive - but not just to her needs, but to others' needs, making her one of the Zodiac's most compassionate and loving women. If you criticize her, she will take it personally very well and will not be forgotten!
A Cancer woman is a valuable addition to any team or community at work, as she works well within a group and genuinely cares about her co-workers, giving them her inner strength, caring, and emotional support. She is also working harder than almost anyone else, putting in long hours to see through a project. When she says she's going to do something, believe she's going to stay late and make it happen – doggedly keeping her nose on a grindstone until it's done.
You'll often see Cancer women busting their butts behind the scenes building props on theatre or movie sets, or making magic in the kitchens of busy restaurants. Such women prefer working with their hands and doing research with which they feel emotionally linked, rather than spending hours looking at spreadsheets or mathematical abstractions.
Be sure to appreciate her efforts and hard work–or you might end up feeling pretty disenchanted with a very crabby crustacean. She's going to put in long hours of work and often don't get paid what she's really worth so make sure she's compensated and respected–otherwise you risk putting her out and losing her loyalty forever. Cancers are touched by their team's feelings of betrayal and sometimes have a hard time separating working relationships from their "family" identity. Being laid off or fired will devastate this symbol that often becomes deeply emotionally involved in the people with whom they work.
Cancers tend to be extremely caring and passionate towards their partners in relationships and once they are connected they want to bond deeply with one other. Cancers swoon into a whirlpool while deeply in love, sending you into a womb-like, hidden room where the rest of the world falls away. While it may feel great when it's just the two of you, such partnerships can often become symbiotic, contributing to co-dependence among vulnerable women.
Friends and other relationships go by the way when a Crab has found love, and neglecting certain ties outside the couple's binary leads to exhaustion for a Cancerian heart. If they are not careful about filling up their own cup and focusing on self-care, this can turn into a martyr complex.
Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces are usually considered the most compatible signs with Cancer. Aries and Libra are generally considered to be the least compatible signs to Cancer.
If you expect your partner to be someone like you in personality, you might want to consider men born under any sign of water, including Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio.
A true lover also holds attributes you don't have in life. An earthy male, in this case, is a good choice for balancing both your power and weakness. Water and earth mixing is essentially a successful match. But, not all the pairing between water and earth is perfect.
Everything you do, please stay away from people with signs of fire: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. The fire of these fiery guys will be put out by your water sign and you will never satisfy them in the romance.
Cancer women gel well with earth signed people when it comes to marriage. Both can co-create a life which harmonizes together. The wife comes with a lot of positive energies and ideas, while the husband can help make all the ideas practical and profitable.
