 We've been waiting for you, Cancer -- just to have a look at how hard that crusty exterior really is -- and try to peek underneath at the cuddly, sensitive, soft interior we suspect is hiding beneath. We're not going to poke at you too much though as we don't want you to retreat and pull everything away out of sight. Cancerians get a bad rap at times but really, does everyone need to wear a sandwich board of emotions everywhere they go; Cancer doesn't think so. Clingy, moody, jealous, and crabby when their partner isn't on their wavelength; they couldn't be more wonderful when everything clicks their way. Make no mistake though, you are dealing with someone who has an outer shell and they will endeavor to keep their deepest feelings hidden behind it. Endeavor is not the same as succeed because try as they might, the ability to truly hide their needs usually escapes them -- they're really, really, really sensitive. Sensitive to you, to themselves, to everything and everyone and it's pretty hard to keep all that emotional angst tucked away neatly. They want it to be good for you, and will keep on, keeping on until it is, or you tell them to stop; but that might hurt their feelings; and they can tell when you're faking it; better just lay back and let it happen -- easier on everyone all round. They can make a basement apartment seem like an oasis and turn a leaky-roofed cabin into a woodland retreat. The bed, the cuffs, the oils, blindfolds, baths, lubes, ropes, hooks, paddles, feathers, ticklers, plugs, clips, collars; you want it, you get it. The stage is always set, the mood music perfect, comfort times ten. Crabs take their homes with them; Cancers make a home wherever they go.
Cancer natives are as possessive with people and partners as they are with all the other things they can't throw away. It's not that they think they'll find a use for you sometime in the future, but closing the door doesn't allow them to keep that little piece of you that they think is theirs. That little memory of you kneeling in abjection, eyes glancing upward as your wet mouth opened and their cock slid smoothly home. It's just a little piece of you they keep in their head -- which you may see in their eyes when you bump into them years later. Not that they'll remind you, they'll just have that look that lets you know they're thinking something a little more than nice to see you.
The Cancer woman hides many things under her shell; don't think that it's cold under there because it isn't. You will have to pick away at the exterior and the likelihood of an early entry is doubtful, but once you get there you will keep coming back for more. Think of -- another shell fish perhaps -- maybe a clam -- pry it open -- run your tongue from one end to the next -- let the juice run down your chin. Same thing really, only your Lady Crab has legs to spread as well.
Mr. Cancer is a romantic at heart and quite imaginative, which is always a good combination. He'll wine and dine you but not right away; his dislike of rejection makes him take the round about route -- yes, just like those little critters on the beach -- they're looking right at you but they're heading every which way but towards you. Once they've got you in their claws they expect total fidelity and loyalty -- no looking, no touching -- don't even bring that fantasy guy to bed in your head. You don't really need to because once he figures out what you want (and he's quite good at figuring out that kind of stuff) he's going to do whatever it is you want -- whatever, whenever and however.
Praise and appreciation go a long way with this sign, but please be sincere. They will definitely know if you don't mean it; if you're faking it; if you have some sort of hidden agenda; or if you don't really care. You cannot just "have" a Cancer native because you think the sex will be hot -- it will be -- but you will go from what you thought was a good fuck to being simply fucked. I don't have to tell you that those are not the same thing -- do I?
One of the Cancer hotspots is breasts -- yours, theirs, who cares. Big ones, little ones, tits that spill over necklines, burst out of tight little T-shirts, hard nipples that poke out of his or her sweater, pierced and ringed ones, pink, brown -- those ones like raspberries just waiting to be bitten: All of them, on everyone. And that other point of interest? -- The stomach; always a good spot to lick your way through on your way to wherever you're going.
CANCER-ARIES The Crab is much too sensitive for Aries' bluntness. Aries natives need constant ego-boosting, which the Crab can supply but only if they're getting something in return. Aries wants the "I've never had it so good Big Boy" (s) while he's working it, not during the after-cuddle, which has been cut short because something is happening elsewhere. You've got the bed to yourself -- watch out for the wet spot.
CANCER-TAURUS The possessiveness that is Taurus translates to love for Cancer. Remember it's all about what works, not what you think should work. These two do work as long as Taurus keeps the verbal barbs to a minimum and eases up on the control issues over the whens and whys of whose turn it is to strap something on. Give, take, give, take...hmm...give, give...give, take.
CANCER-GEMINI Good fuck becomes simply fucked -- see above. Cancer needs everything that Gemini cannot give. Cancer needs security and commitment, and it's not even that a Gemini can't or won't commit -- mostly they just don't feel like it right now -- and certainly not if Cancer asks outright for any sign of connection, just a teeny tiny sign -- can't help themselves -- not even a small -- nope, not happening.
CANCER-CANCER Too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing. Each understands the others weaknesses but both need the support of the other, exhausting at the best of times and exploitive at the worst.
CANCER-LEO Cancer gives and Leo takes, but here the circle is complete. Leo glows in the attention that Cancer bestows and understands that a little appreciation goes a long way in garnering more attention. Leo will gladly take centre stage at a fetish party to be abused or exalted, look longingly into their Cancer's eyes throughout then thank Cancer for allowing this, and it makes Cancer happy to be recognized as the generous, sharing soul that they are. Perfect little partnership.
CANCER-VIRGO These two are also a great match. Cancer can be dependant and insecure and Virgo thrives on the need to protect and support. Both are homebodies and will have love central set up exactly the way they want it, then go inside and close the door on the rest of the world. Neither has a desire to bring anyone else into the relationship. There won't be enough space between the two of them to squeeze anything in anyway -- totally centered, occupied, filled up, sated, committed to the pleasure and satisfaction of each other.
CANCER-LIBRA And the buck stops here. Libra cannot handle the moods that man-handle Cancer and will simply detach from the whole thing and drive our Crab into their insecure and jealous shell. Which then drives Libra back out the door to the party they were going to anyway....and no ones getting it when someone is gone.
CANCER-SCORPIO These two ignite each other. Cancer's loyal streak dampens the famous Scorpio jealousy; their possessiveness makes Scorpio feel secure. An innate ability to sense what the other wants leads to some very intense but often little-said sessions. "There," "Now," "Again," is all that's needed and the well of "Again" will never dry up. How many times in a row can you make me come like that?
CANCER-SAGITTARIUS We know that Sagittarius likes a lot of space and Cancer likes the cozy closeness of a comfy nest. Sagittarius will enjoy being in full-hunt mode as Cancer tries to get away. When they make it to the comfy nest all will go well but it is more than the covers that will end up in a pull one way/pull the other way fight.
CANCER-CAPRICORN Hot right out of the starting gates but the trouble with a race is that it doesn't last long. If Cancer can get beneath the Capricorn cool exterior without self-destructing then, and only then, will it become a marathon. Lots of work and lots of digging for both.
CANCER-AQUARIUS Tie me up -- no actually -- untie me. In fact, give me back my rope, I have to go now. Aquarius epitomizes freedom and self-possession, Cancer, even if they want to, just can't let it happen.
CANCER-PISCES For once, Cancer gets to take. Wherever Cancer leads, Pisces will follow. Nothing wild, no multiple partners, but all the one-on-one variations you can think of. Pisces loves to play and Cancer will open up to most anything if they get to stay in control. Wield the crop and salve the resulting red welts -- in Cancer's world, nothing could be finer.
