Feeling emotionally connected to their work is of paramount
importance to Cancerians. Their inherent urge is to protect,
and they are great caretakers of other people's needs. They
excel in the helping professions, but also thrive in a creative
occupation. A wonderfully rich imagination serves as a source
of inspiration. They need to have a sense of belonging and
attachment to their place of work and colleagues, whom they
regard as part of their family. This is why they often choose
to be involved in a family business or prefer to work from
home. They flounder in an environment that is hostile or too
competitive. At times they place too much emphasis on feeling
safe, which can lead to the undervaluing of their talents
and abilities.
Love and sex
Cancerians are most sensitive in matters of the heart, taking
a very long time to come out of their shells once they've
been hurt. Erring on the touchy side, they are, however, very
caring and gentle by nature. They crave being wanted or needed
and go out of their way to be protective. As a result, they
often smother their loved ones with too much love and attention.
A strong sexual drive is present, but they are very understanding
of and responsive to their partner's sexual needs. Give them
a deep sense of security and they'll be yours forever. It's
only when they start to feel insecure that they become clingy.
Lifestyle and health
Their entire lifestyle centres on their home and family.
They have a gift for decorating and are wonderful homemakers,
wanting everyone to be comfortable and never hungry. Feeding
others is second nature and they like to gather people around
them in the kitchen while they create delicious meals. They're
inclined to fuss over others, but too much worrying can lead
to digestive upsets. They tend to spend too much of their
free time at home, and should try to go out more often. Boating,
water-skiing and swimming are suitable leisure activities.
