You are continually pulled into romance with those who are quite opposite to you in nature. You are strongly attracted to people who are confident, strong and successful. Although you fall in love all the time, your introvert nature and your uneasiness in disclosing your true feelings makes many of these affairs one-sided. You are not likely to rush headlong into marriage, because in selecting a life partner, you will be most likely governed by your head.

Those belonging to the zodiac signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces will make good partners for Cancerians. Nevertheless, love for a stable home and loyalty towards the spouse will reward the majority of Cancerians with a reasonably happy married life. You attend to domestic chores cheerfully, take a keen interest in the children. and believe in saving for the rainy day. Man or woman, Cancerians love their home, it is where they feel most secure. Like Sagittarians there is a place for everything, but the Cancerians idea is -- it just does not matter where it is put as long as it's somewhere, under the bed, in cupboards, up in the attic, the garage; not that you are not untidy -- you are the original hoarder and for some it can take a while getting used to this.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon. The Moon is associated with fertility too, a quality that is most pleasing to Cancer.The Moon is also the ruler of moods, and Cancerians have plenty of those. These people can cry you a river, if they are so inclined, and they usually are. They can be overly sensitive, easily hurt and prone to brooding. Even so, Crabs find it easy to be sympathetic to others and are quick to show their affection. Their intuition is also a great help to them, especially in times of stress.

The Element associated with Cancer is Water. Like the waves of the sea, the Crab's emotions can make a quite a splash. Cancerians have a tendency to dwell on, and emphasize the smallest matter. When it comes to relationships, this characteristic can result in sentimentality or possessiveness. Crabs need to resist the temptation to become selfish or to feel sorry for themselves, since this behaviour can exaggerate those emotions.

On the bright side, Cancerians are good with money (although some consider them too thrifty), probably because they value a sense of security. Crabs are also quick to help others and tend to avoid confrontation. In keeping with their nurturing bent, those born under this Sign enjoy their food. A hearty picnic in the park is heaven on earth to most Crabs.

The great strength of the Cancer-born is the tenacity with which they protect their loved ones. Cancerians don't ask for much either, a comfortable home and sense of peace is what is most important. It's that nurturing instinct which makes Cancerians a pleasure to be with.
