Constellation Cancer: the most important characteristics at a glance

Lobsters are real house sparrows and are the most faithful partners you can wish for: these brief assumptions about your sign are probably familiar to you. But what is it really like? Time for a basic lesson in astrology.

Features Cancer - 'The cosier, the better'

22 June - 22 July

Cancerians are sensitive and caring, cheerful and subdued. It is a sign of many contradictions. They can either act entirely on their feelings or do everything on the basis of reason. Cancerians often work on grand plans, but are too pensive to actually carry them out.

Youth

A Cancer child prefers to play alone and cries easily, because they are so sensitive. In the classroom, they absorb all new knowledge like a sponge, as long as the teacher is understanding.

Love and sex

In terms of love, Cancer is a hopeless romantic; a Cancerian often assumes the one and only. Nevertheless, they do not give in easily: the person in question needs to have a lot of initiative. In terms of mood, Cancer is very sensitive to the weather and the position of the Moon - a partner should be able to cope with this. Cancer has a healthy dose of self-reflection and self-criticism. A tactful and loving approach is key. 

For Cancer, no sex without love. Cancer is not a prude, but it doesn't choose the first person it wants to sleep with - one night stands are rare. Sex on the back seat of an old car is certainly not common. If it does happen (e.g. one drink too many), Cancer regrets it the next day. Fortunately, she can laugh about it.

In terms of partners, Pisces and fellow Lobsters match best. A partner who is just as sensitive works best. Scorpions therefore also work well; having deep conversations together is a real turn-on. Love at first sight is something Cancer firmly believes in.

Dealing with

Cancerians are very tolerant and expect this from others. In addition, you should not always try to fathom a Cancer, asking what he or she is thinking is out of the question. Cancerians are sensitive to rewards; if you employ a Cancerian, you will notice that he or she will work harder when there is a pay rise. As a manager, be clear when you make a decision, for a Cancer this is irreversible.

It is also good to know that Cancer does not handle conflicts well; it affects the body - especially the stomach. So make sure that a conflict is always talked out, the Cancerian learns from it.
