Sun sign: Cancer

At work

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.
