Sun Signs and Love: The Cancer Man

A man born under the sun sign of Cancer is incredibly sensual, and willing to let you know that he's sensual, but he'll almost never come at you directly. Though he'll happily play the attentive lover, he'll also make sure to leave himself a way out. Not because he can't commit, but because he's quite afraid of rejection. He falls in love so easily that he must take measures to protect himself.

Despite this, Cancer is both a romantic and a daydreamer. Blessed with a powerful sensory memory, he can and will get lost in the romance of a situation. His imagination knows no bounds and he is endlessly creative. Unfortunately, this cuts both ways. When he gets jealous, his imagination can jump right into overdrive. If he suspects his chosen mate is unfaithful, expect him to practically lose his mind. He is so faithful that dishonesty in love hurts him deeply and threatens the stability and security he so desperately needs.

The Cancer male is incredibly affectionate and spontaneous. Sex is best when it happens without any advance planning, though this man is loving enough to adapt if his mate needs a little more warning. He is attentive and dedicated, not needed many mates, but the one perfect mate.

This man will go to almost any length to please his chosen mate. He will make you laugh, spoil you outrageously, or do anything else to keep a smile on your face. His natural ability to understand the human heart allows him to feel your problems before you voice them, giving him a leg up when it comes to dealing with pain and heartache.

Perhaps most important to Cancer is having a mate who shares his hopes and dreams of the future. If he withdraws from such a relationship at a later date, it's probably because those hopes and dreams have changed, making him incompatible with his mate. If he does leave, however, he does it quietly and with grace.

Truly a man's man, but not in a rugged sense, this gentle sun sign has a deep inner strength and a great need to protect his family. He will not let you down, instead ensuring you are well loved and taken care of. He will be a devoted mate--provided you return the favor.

Sun Signs and Love: The Cancer Woman

On the surface, the Cancer woman might seem composed and even...well, perfect. But she has hidden depths to her. She can be shy and sweet at first, then later become sensual and even erotic. But it takes the right kind of love to get there, so you'll have to give of yourself first if you want to unlock the true nature of the Cancer woman.

Because she is naturally shy, don't expect her to make the first move. She isn't at all forward, but she will give you subtle hints that could lead to a substantial relationship. But pay attention, because if you miss her unspoken invitation you might lose her entirely.

As a water sign, she values trust above all. While she is cautious about giving her heart to another, once she does she is unwavering in her loyalty and gives her trust unabashedly. If you love her, trust her, and make her feel secure, she will be yours forever. If you violate the trust she has given you, she may never truly forgive you. In her head, perhaps, but never really in her heart. So tread carefully if you value her presence in your life.

The Cancer woman may come across as a little old-fashioned, but only because she is old-fashioned. She has an independent streak, true, but she also longs to be sheltered and protected, which is one of the many qualities that draws others to her. As a woman, she desires romance, and as a Cancer she wants you to take the lead in that romance, so don't wait around for her to plan a romantic night out. Do the planning and she'll be far more receptive towards you.

Though you might call her the quintessential woman, she has depths that will take years to discover. Appreciate her for the affectionate, sympathetic, and imaginative woman she is and she'll give you all she has to offer.

Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Gemini

Gemini likes to be impressed, so show off your knowledge of a subject you're passionate about. The typical Gemini tends to know a little about everything, so conversation will likely ensue. Just make sure you know what you're talking about. Gemini doesn't appreciate a faker.

Be candid and honest, for that's what Gemini is after, but beware of appearing smug and try not to come off as too conservative. Both are turnoffs for the sensitive Gemini. And don't worry if you disagree. A good exchange is a good exchange, and Gemini recognizes this.

Though intellectual conversation is appreciated, Gemini also likes to engage in gossip, especially if there's an element of humor in it. Focus on making him or her laugh, not on being malicious, and you'll have a captive audience.

Remember that Gemini is looking for an aura of mutual trust. Don't give him or her a reason to mistrust you, and don't approach a Gemini with a suspicious attitude. Trust is important to this sun sign, so make sure you respect that.

If you're looking for a gift for a Gemini, try books, puzzles, or anything that stimulates the mind. Flowers and such could be wasted on this more intellectual astrological sign.

Sun Signs and Love: The Gemini Man

Vivacious, quick-witted, and filled with a lust for life, the Gemini male draws women (or men, possibly) to him with practiced ease. His charm, generosity, and fertile imagination make a date with him exciting and oftentimes romantic. Though many women are drawn to him, few will stay in his life for longer than a night or two. He's notoriously hard to pin down, and trying will only drive him away all the faster.

He might come off as a womanizer, but he's really anything but. The Gemini man really and truly loves women and he pays attention to what they have to say. This is a great part of his success in the romance department. But, like most Gemini, he needs fun and excitement in his life. He'll flee any relationship that doesn't give him the fun he needs. Because all relationships have their lulls, and he tends to be impatient, he does have a tendency to run away from a relationship that would ultimately have made him happy. Such is the nature of Gemini.

But that isn't the only reason he tends to run off without much notice. He's a little uncomfortable with love as an emotion (though as an action...well, sign him up!), so a woman who takes love too seriously is a turn off for him. Though they are initially attracted to women with a flare for the dramatic, mostly because these women appear more fun on the surface, he usually loses interest before too long.

And yet, he is not a true womanizer. The reason he runs from one female to the next is because he really is searching for a woman to spend the rest of his life with. Remember that Gemini is the sign of the twins, so he's truly searching for his spiritual and romantic twin. He knows she's out there. He just hasn't found her yet. When he does, he will never leave her side.

In bed he is imaginative, confident, and has a great deal of flair, but his lover may get the impression that he is not fully committed. His attention may wander, even in the throes of great sex, but this is simply a part of his nature. It doesn't mean he's straying. It usually means he's thinking of something exciting and fun to do next.

A fascinating person, the true Gemini man tends to flit through life and romance with hardly a care. Still, even those he rejects love him, for he is a joy to know. Even if you only know him for a short time.
