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.
