Somehow, you always get the feeling that Cancer is giving you compliments simply for the sake of it. You feel special for the moment until, suddenly, the flattery is being handed to the person next to you. How does he manage to always get away with it? Sometimes Cancer doesn't realize that people can see through the image he's created for himself — though this is of no concern. Cancer never suffers for it. Not many are likely to challenge the Crab. Most people, with egos pumped up by Cancer, know that what they're told is not necessarily the truth — but they never seem to mind.

Family and Friends

It is also said that family life and home is very important to Cancers. This is indubitably true. All Cancers are, in some way, tied to family — whether it's their own (husband, wife, children) or immediate (parents, siblings). Marriage and children are essential to most Cancers, and security becomes just as important to Cancer as it is to Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio.

All Cancers are nurturing, especially Cancer woman, who is sexy and always has some kind of feminine quality. This especially comes out with the friends around her. She's like a mother hen, curious about gossip and new loves. In fact, she'll be a little offended if her friends don't keep her up to date on their possible new love interests. Cancer woman absolutely has to know what's going on and what she can do to help keep the ball rolling. In other words, Cancer woman loves having other “in love” couples to hang out with.
