Emotive and sensitive, Cancerians have a strong desire to protect and take care of those they love. At the same time, they expect to receive the same welcome and affection in return. However, in some situations, they can resort to certain strategies to gain this affection. According to astrologer Thaís Mariano, this is because cancer brings with it the vocation to open paths, exercise leadership and deal with the constant search for emotional balance.

Cancer natives tend to be reserved. When they feel devalued or threatenedthey turn into themselves. “The interior, like the home, the memories and what they have of valuable, is treated by them with great zeal,” says Thaís Mariano. In addition, the house is a place that provides well-being to them. It is in this environment that natives like to take care, protect and welcome those who love.

Cancer Symbology

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac and the first of the water triad. “It represents water in its purest state, the water of the river where life begins and that provides us with the possibility of continuing to exist. It is the mother who welcomes and gives life,” points out the astrologer. According to her, the sign also symbolizes memories and emotional security.

The crab is the animal that represents the sign of cancer. With his rigid carapace, he protects a sensitive and vulnerable interior – and, according to Thaís Mariano, this metaphor fits perfectly the cancer. Although it appears strength and firmness, this posture often functions as an emotional armor used to safeguard deep feelings.

Characteristics that need to develop

Like the other signs of the zodiac, cancer also has characteristics that need to develop. “With such sensitivity, Cancerians often cannot think clearly, as they are motivated by their emotions, which can lead them to get deep into people who are not open to it,” says the astrologer.

Cancer natives may have Controlling attitudes. In addition, they are usually accumulators. “They accumulate objects, but also memories, people and hurts. There is the fear of lack in them, and this makes room for the new and renewal,” warns Thaís Mariano.

Cancers are very resentful when their opinions are contradicted. Therefore, “it is necessary to develop self -knowledge to understand their own responsibility for what bothers them in life,” advises the astrologer.

Cancer Challenges

Dealing with emotional instability is one of the main challenges for those who are from the sign of cancer. This is because the mood of these natives tends to oscillate according to the phases of the moon – which can be quite exhausting. According to Thaís Mariano, self -knowledge is the main tool for Cancerians to be able to welcome their emotions and deal with emotional oscillations.

In addition, Cancerians often develop a certain emotional dependence in relationships. According to the astrologer, this feature can lead them to maintain bonds unbalanced for a variety of reasons-including strong attachment to the past and the desire to preserve what they have already built, even if it involves giving up their own well-being.

Cancer

The native cancer is sensitive, strong and always ready to welcome the other. “It represents female energy in its lunar power: the great goddess. And, as a great goddess, she has immense potential to take care of, but also to own her own life and achieve what she wants,” says Thaís Mariano.

These natives usually divide into two profiles: the one that plays the maternal role and the one that still seeks the figure of the mother. The first tends to devote itself to the construction of a family and the care of those who love. The second reveals a deeper need for welcome and protection. In both cases, as the astrologer points out, there is a strong search for affective bonds marked by emotional surrender.

The instinct of cancer woman is evident, but it is not only related to the family. “This feeling manifests itself in the fulfillment of dreams and ideals, which will surely bring love, warmth and protection for those who have the chance to benefit from Canceria’s gifts,” says Thaís Mariano.

Cancer man

The man of cancer is deeply guided by emotions. Conservative by nature, he usually values ​​the memories of childhood, lovingly keeping everything he lived and learned during this period. It also tends to maintain a strong and lasting connection with the mother figure, which represents a pillar of affection and security.

According to the astrologer, there are two most common profiles among Cancerians: the one “which is dependent on the mother and the one who seeks the mother’s figure in her relationships. They can alternate in these points or have both characteristics in common, but the maternal connection is always present,” he explains.

Cancerian is a romantic and needy. However, according to Thaís Mariano, when he is not loved or corresponded, he moves away from who caused all this suffering, keeping with him a lot of grudge.

In addition, the native cancer is very appreciated by relatives and all those who love. After all, it is these people who offer you companionship and security. “So, creating a bond with a cancer is to make sure you will have someone to count on,” says the astrologer.

The Cancerian usually idealizes the construction of a family from an early age. Therefore, it seeks to find someone who fits this dream. “The problem is that, often, he ends up comparing the person with whom he gets involved with his own mother And hopes to take the same care and affection I received or wanted to receive from the mother figure, ”says Thaís Mariano.

Cancerians in Love

As in other sectors of life, Cancerians are also loyalkind, dedicated and deep in love relationships. “They tend to want to form a nest in which they can deposit all their affection and care,” says Thaís Mariano.
