Emotions mean a great deal to Cancer. If he is not sure of his own safety, including in a love relationship, he instinctively hides in his shell, and may then seem hard and even cruel to his partner. That is why it is difficult for him to let go in lovemaking: he is, as it were, afraid of giving too much away. Libra, Aquarius, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Aries and Capricorn may find Cancer difficult. It is easier for Virgo, Taurus, Scorpio and Pisces. Both the man and the woman are given to complaining, so impulsive people find them hard going. The Cancer man may seek in a woman's company a refuge from emotional troubles; the more tender Cancerians try to create comfort for the woman as well, preparing a romantic dinner, say, while the less tender ones seek to surround themselves with feminine attention - possibly from more than one woman. These men are feminine in nature, so for those who love the «macho» type, life with a Cancer will be a torment, since he may show little initiative in the relationship and in lovemaking in particular; he will probably have to be encouraged in some way. The Cancer woman has good intuition, is feminine and very family-oriented, and most often she does have a family. There are, however, Cancer women who long cannot start one. This means they cannot open up before a man, because they are very tender and vulnerable, yet at times appear unfeeling. For many Cancer women sex is not the main thing; they may not speak of this with their man, but the care she gives him will be wonderful.
