You care a great deal about relationships. While there's a lot of professional drive in the background, ultimately anything that gets in the way of solidarity among family and friends quickly gets dropped on the priority list. One key reason for this is that family and friends protect you — they stand between the world and your vulnerable nature. Please know, however, that the people in your life want to offer this safety. Your fidelity and kindness have earned that type of reciprocity.

You have a very soft shell, meaning your feelings get hurt easily. That's the moon's influence again, but it's not all negative. This Crab understands other people's hurts and feelings of overexposure intimately. Consequently, you would make an excellent counselor. That type of work also helps direct your attention away from your personal problems for a while.

Your birth number of 3 offers relief with all its optimism and levity. This is just the medicine you need to keep from constantly retreating into your shell. Mind you, it won't help much with decision making, but hey one out of two isn't bad!

Commitment doesn't come easily to this Cancer. It takes very special people to earn your trust, and you have very high ideals for what constitutes a solid friend or lover. Creative individuals with tender, compassionate natures who also enjoy nurturing might fit the bill.
