This Cancerian love flaw can get in the way of true love…
You have limitless patience when it comes to listening, until you don’t, but you’re unlikely to pour out your heart. With moods as changeable as your ruler, the moon, you’re caring and sensitive one minute and evasive and crabby the next.
You’re so used to tending to others that you may have lost touch with how to express your own emotions. You can sulk and play the martyr until your partner gets the message— “it’s your fault!” Learn to trust your feelings. Open up to your partner and connect. You’ll be glad you did.
Top reasons Cancers have relationship issues…
You’re a great catch, but you might need some tweaking! Try looking within if you’re still looking for love.
Are you too needy? Give a partner a little breathing room!
Are you too (s)mothering? Your prospective partner probably already has a mom…he or she is looking for a partner!
Are you too quiet? You don’t have to bare your soul, but a little revelation into your inner workings won’t hurt!
Are you too suspicious? Sometimes you just have to believe that the other person is true.
Are you too busy? Work, DIY, family obligations. You need to squeeze a few dates in there, too!
Are you too controlling? Let someone else choose the movie next time!

Cancer is quietly flirtatious, never forward. There will be roses and champagne over quiet meals, not wild cavorting at a beer bash. And the Crab probably won’t say exactly what’s on his or her mind either.
As such, it could be hard for a partner to know the score. Cautious Cancer will never plunge headlong into a commitment, but if he or she starts to communicate nonstop via all media like a Gemini (and toss in words like “we” and “us”), or spend lots of time with you like a Leo, you’ve nabbed your Crab.
Never avoid this warning sign that love is going wrong…
Cancer is the metaphorical “mom” of the zodiac. As such, you are probably a darn good cook, consumed as you are with nourishing your loved ones, in all senses of the word. You make no secret of the fact that you love good food, because you share it with others.
Your emotions may not be so obvious to others, however, they’ll know something’s wrong if you lose your appetite. Perhaps you don’t even want to admit it yourself, but there could be trouble in paradise if your favorite tasty treats fail to stir you out of your shell.
Are you the biggest obstacle to an ideal love life?
You are excellent partner material. A caring personality, a sensuous, affectionate nature, and hidden emotional depths—who wouldn’t love you? The clinginess is under control, yet you’re still looking. What gives?
How do you spend your spare time? Do you transfer the attention that you’d otherwise spend on a partner onto something else, a pet or project perhaps? As the caregiver of the Zodiac, you may be so busy saving the world that you’re neglecting your own need for companionship. Perhaps you could volunteer a bit less and free up more time for love.
Is a relationship with a Cancer in jeopardy? The signs…
For the most part, Cancer is affectionate, caring, and expressive. But if you see any of these signs, there could be trouble!
Drifts away. Cancer craves security, so when they keep their distance, take note!
Stops nurturing. This sign is the Zodiac’s metaphorical “mom,” and when mom stops caring, you know there’s a problem.
Lets the housework go. Cancer loves to do for loved ones. When the dishes go unwashed, look out.
Stops bringing you gifts. One of the ways this sign courts is through gifts. Absent those, there’s an issue.
Stops initiating. This sensual sign likes unplanned lovemaking. When interest wanes, that’s a big red flag.
You want commitment, but you’ll never get there if…
Cancer can tend to another’s needs like nobody else. You have nurturing down to a science. You prefer to control the strings and are happiest when a partner just goes with the (your) flow. Stop and try to be objective. Are those claws pinching your friend just a little too tightly? Is he or she gasping for more breathing room?
If you have a tendency to expect disappointment, you know what they say about self-fulfilling prophecies. Ease up just a bit and believe in the process. And don’t bring up wedding dates or anything too radical just yet, you may need to let other people catch up to your train!
Cancer’s entrepreneurial potential: high or low?
Homebody Cancer is perfectly happy working from home—it’s a safe, comfortable haven, after all. But getting out and about is important, too. That said, if you’d like to work for yourself, perhaps there’s a freelance career that would let you interact with others while keeping your base of operations in your domicile.
Successful entrepreneurs are good team builders and good listeners, and nobody surpasses you at those skills. They are also passionate advocates, which you are in spades. Perhaps you could try your hand at marriage counselor, realtor, tutor, or caterer.
Remember last night’s dream? Why you should…
You’re very emotional, intuitive, and perhaps even psychic. If you’re mulling over a dilemma, personal or work related, try looking to your dreams for insight. Keep a notebook by the bed and record what you remember of your dreams as soon as you wake up. The impressions may not come in words, but in doodles or images. Try to capture these messages from your subconscious as best you can. Then find resources that can help you interpret what the images mean. They may not give you the answer to your problem, but they could give you a new perspective on it!
The health need you’re ignoring…
Stress and changes in beauty routines can result in an itchy, flaky scalp. Ick! If you’re crunched for time, you may fail to properly wash your hair or wash it less often, a strategy that can backfire. Failing to thoroughly rinse after washing and conditioning you hair can result in a flaky buildup on your scalp.
Use a moisturizing shampoo a couple of times a week. If itchiness persists and you can’t see a dermatologist right away, warm some olive oil and gently massage it into your scalp with your fingertips. Leave on overnight and then wash it off in the morning. Relief!
