General characteristics of the Cancer sign
Cancer is a difficult zodiac sign. Of course, there are no “simple” signs of the Zodiac, but it is Cancer that has its own characteristics that complicate the understanding of its nature. However, this should not become an obstacle to communication and understanding, because every person is an extraordinary Universe.
The zodiac sign is greatly influenced by the planets under whose influence the sign is. The main planet that rules the sign Cancer is the Moon. The Moon is a truly feminine planet, forming feminine energy around the sign. The moon is responsible for traditionally feminine qualities: acceptance, love, sensuality, care. Therefore, the Cancer man is a person with a fine mental organization. He is sensitive, even somewhat feminine, as if there is a woman living inside him. Jupiter in Exaltation gives Cancer amazing intuition and the ability to subtly understand the world. This sign can show unconditional love and widespread acceptance. Expelled Saturn manifests itself in the internal isolation of Cancer. He is an internally closed and even withdrawn person, trying to hide from the outside world. Mars, the planet of masculinity and the main masculine traits, is in its fall. This makes people born under the sign of Cancer cowardly at heart, unable to take responsibility or make drastic changes. Therefore, the classic Cancer man is inclined to be inactive and go with the flow of life, accepting it as it is: he definitely will not “gnaw” his career with his teeth. In addition, do not expect purely courageous actions from a Cancer man - this is not about him, he does not know how to do this and will not do this.
The Cancer man is a conservative. His life guidelines are traditions and traditional values that have developed over centuries. He does not like drastic changes and risks that can disrupt the usual way of life. A Cancer man may be interested in the origins of existence, antiquity - he is interested in everything that goes back to the distant “once upon a time.”
Cancer, as a rule, is distinguished by an internal colossal closedness. He is wary of the outside world, preferring his own. This is due to his internal insecurity: if something happens, he is not able to protect himself. Therefore, he prefers not to open up and keep to himself, like a hermit crab. At the same time, sometimes he cannot understand what is happening in his own world. This can also confuse him, so it is very difficult psychologically for a Cancer man. Cancer is a real pedant. It is important to him that everything is according to the rules. The situation is aggravated by complexes, which the Cancer man has in abundance, and if he does not learn to deal with them, life will be really difficult for him.
Among the positive traits of the Cancer man, it is worth noting his kindness, ability to understand and accept another person. He is not aggressive and expects the same from other people: deep inside he is defenseless and protects his little world from invasion. A Cancer man, as a rule, perceives life sensually, subtly experiencing everything and letting it pass through himself. And the Cancer man also has amazing intuition, which helps him see people literally right through.
Character and characteristics of Cancer men and women
Cancer can be identified by its characteristic features. He is a dreamer (and the best takeoff of his imagination happens on a moonlit night), with a mobile mood (in direct dependence on the phases of the Moon) and a sincere manifestation of emotions.
When Cancer laughs, it is difficult not to support him with at least a smile, even without knowing what he is talking about, his laughter is so contagious.
It is difficult to find a person who has more subtle humor and uses it more deftly than Cancer, not primitively or abstrusely, but understandably for all listeners. Cancers are excellent storytellers, masters of words (by the way, you also need to be able to convey the richness of an anecdote in a few words - this is not given to everyone).
Cancer accepts the fruits of well-deserved fame with dignity and is sincere in grief from the blows of fate (if he has tears, it is a flood of grief!). He is impressionable, touchy, and often experiences mood swings. Therefore, he has both sudden blues and causeless harshness and anger.
Cancers are curious, especially about the lives of famous people and the history of states. They have developed intuition. But, despite their curiosity, they know how to keep secrets, their own and those of others.
Cancerian Inconsistency
The behavior of these people also contains the following signs of the sign: they, like a cancer, do not immediately implement their plans, do not immediately try to grab what is ready, but walk around the bush, pretending not to pay attention. However, at the first threat of losing their intended target, they rush at it, leaving the opponent with his nose.
Cancers are very emotional and impressionable, but external impulsiveness is not typical for them. They experience everything within themselves, sometimes to such an extent that it has a harmful effect on their health, and they get sick: blood pressure rises, pain appears in the heart area, etc.
In their home, Cancers are good owners who love to prepare everything for future use. They always have something, and in pairs, that you don’t have. With an affected sign, Cancer's house resembles a warehouse or landfill. But at work he is often indispensable: you can find any old certificate from him that is usually thrown away. Astrologers believe that the biblical Noah was most likely a Cancer, since he took “a pair of every creature” with him into the ark.
Cancers are not greedy, but very economical, and value the work put into things. They respect those who achieve everything through their work, and disrespect those who get everything easily, not according to their deserts.
If you don’t want to fall too far in their eyes, never throw away old but still usable things or leftover food in front of them - in the eyes of Cancer, this is a mockery of the labor spent on their production.

What Cancer men and women look like
There are two types of adult Cancer faces.
- They often have a large face with high cheekbones and prominent brow ridges.
- Less commonly, Cancers are chubby, smiling, with a childlike expression and delicate skin.
- The sign gives them round, small, widely spaced eyes.
- Both types of Cancer are characterized by eyebrows that are almost fused at the bridge of the nose and a jaw pushed forward.

Cancer man in communication
Often men born under the sign of Cancer are introverts. It is difficult for a Cancer man to trust other people and it is difficult to find people who understand his detached life position and accept him for who he is. Perhaps this is why he tends to keep to himself. However, at the same time, the Cancer man really needs emotional contact and communication. He values his close people, who deserve the trust of the Cancer man, and is afraid of losing them.
The main thing in communicating with Cancer is to be tactful, tolerant and respect his closed nature. When communicating with a Cancer man, do not try to get into his soul - he will not tolerate this and will close himself off from you even more. It’s better to give him time to understand himself, and he will be drawn to you, seeing you as an understanding person. And under no circumstances betray a Cancer man - there is practically no chance that he will forgive the betrayal.
Perhaps he is hiding his feelings?
Men of this sign are very specific; understanding them is difficult and tiring.
- Cancer is a dynamic Water sign and is therefore prone to change. From his appearance it is difficult to understand the next emotional state, which may be radically different from what it was five minutes ago.
- Cancers have a very interesting attitude towards the female sex: they seem to consider women their equals and encourage independence and self-sufficiency in every possible way, but at the same time, in reality, they continue to take care of the ladies.
- In the family they strive to take the leading role, in relationships they lead, although they can play at transferring the initiative.
- On the one hand, they consider themselves dominant by definition, and on the other, they want the woman to meet him halfway. This makes it difficult to understand that a Cancer man is in love with you.
He is Cancer, I am Scorpio. 28 and 25. Both had experience of long-term relationships. In the beginning he was very nice and attentive. Caring. He looked after me, was interested in everyone, introduced me to my mother and friends. But he constantly told me that I was icy, he didn’t understand what I wanted. I began to open up to him and reach out, but he closed himself off from me. Became cold. He said that he didn’t want to tie me down and he didn’t want to get tied down himself.
If Cancer decides to leave his partner, it is because he is convinced that the relationship with her does not live up to his expectations or becomes a source of constant suffering.
Cancer man in love
A man born under the sign of Cancer believes in true love and wants to know it. However, he may
there may be some difficulties communicating with the opposite sex. This is due to his closeness and fear of trusting another person and opening up to him.
A conservative Cancer man wants to have one woman for life, according to the traditions of society. A woman who will attract the attention of a Cancer man will most likely be modest and quiet. She will have maternal character traits, she will be a mother and a good housewife. Her behavior will probably not be provocative or provocative. Rather, Cancer will pay attention to a woman similar to himself - who prefers to remain somewhat aloof, calm and intelligent. A woman, according to a Cancer man, should inspire trust and a sense of security. Cancer's companion should accept him for who he is and not judge him for his unmasculinity and weaknesses. Only such a woman can a Cancer man trust and give his love. And, believe me, there is a colossal supply of love inside him. And you can find out more about men of other signs in the “Astrology of Love and Marriage” section.
In order to start a relationship with a Cancer man, you should try to take the initiative. Most likely, he himself will not take the first step. You need to do this yourself and under no circumstances go too far - this will scare Cancer away, and he will close down. Act gently, patiently, but persistently, be close to him, but do not get deep into his soul - and the Cancer man will open up to you.
As for the sexual aspect of life, a Cancer man may have certain complexes that prevent him from realizing himself in the intimate sphere. Cancer's partner needs to understand that he needs time to get closer to the person, and only after that sex is possible.
Cancer: tyrant overseer
Controls, limits, sets strict limits, exercises power, manipulates, instills feelings of guilt
Characteristic behavior
Cancer in astrology is an example of a kind and caring husband. How then did he end up among the most oppressive signs of the Zodiac? Alas, positive qualities do not exclude the possibility that the head of the Cancer family is capable of turning into a domestic tyrant.
Usually people of this sign are homebodies and do not feel the need to show themselves to the world. If a woman is tuned in to the same wavelength, she will be in a more advantageous position. Otherwise, the tyrant Cancer will try with all his might to tear her away from her environment, forcing her to spend as much time as possible at home. The walls of her home will gradually turn into a prison for her, and even a completely innocent going out somewhere with her friends once a year can become a reason for a stormy scandal and claims on his part.
As a rule, such Cancer husbands try in every possible way to impose a feeling of guilt: “How can this be? She left, left the children, didn’t feed her, didn’t put her to bed... What kind of mother do you have?!” The words may be different, but the meaning is always approximately the same.
Why does Cancer the despot behave this way?
This behavior is based not only on self-doubt and the fact that one can truly be loved, but also on serious fears, including fear of loss. Perhaps such a person grew up in a single-parent family or, while young, lost someone very valuable. Therefore, it is very important for him to have a healthy family - at any cost, even using despoticism.
How to behave with Cancer - a domestic tyrant?
It is quite possible to dissuade and re-educate the domestic tyrants of Cancer if you make them understand that everything you do is absolutely safe for the family and its integrity. Here you need to learn to talk. Of course, if the situation has gone too far, it will be very difficult to force the tyrant Cancer to lead adequately. However, you must do everything to make him trust you. Only trust and honest communication can turn a husband who belongs to the most oppressive signs of the Zodiac into a normal person. You must eradicate his fear of loss and replace it with feelings of security, peace of mind and confidence in the future.
Cancer man in family relationships
It is no coincidence that the symbols of the Cancer sign are motherhood, family, comfort and home. The Cancer man is a great father and husband, he is an excellent family man who knows how and loves to create coziness in the home.

Therefore, family for a Cancer man is one of the main treasures in life.
Aries: tyrant-aggressor and brawler
Shows aggression, is jealous, uses physical violence, demands unconditional obedience, is rude, and slanderes.
Characteristic behavior
For this type of man, there is only his opinion. He is sure that everything depends on him, he is used to making decisions himself. Over the years, he decides that he alone is the authority in the house, that no one has the right to express his opinion, because only he is right, and no one else.
Aries - This type of domestic tyrant can be very dangerous because it is capable of resorting to the use of physical force. The man is very aggressive and can flare up instantly, even without a serious reason. And in advanced cases, the situation can get out of control. The Aries tyrant makes a scandal, provoking a “fight”, trying to show what power he has. But he very rarely starts a battle with someone stronger than himself. Most often, its victims are weaker people: women and children.
Why does Aries the despot behave this way?
Most often, in childhood, men of this type faced cruelty and tyrannical behavior from other family members. Therefore, as they grow up, they accept this behavior and carry it into their lives. A domestic abuser, including the Aries zodiac sign, cannot solve problems by discussing them calmly. In his opinion, strength is everything. By force, he believes, even love can be won.
How to behave with Aries - a domestic tyrant?
