You want a Cancer man in your corner.

When in conversation with a Cancer sign, you really feel like they get you. Is it their calming voice? Their knowing just what to say after you’ve poured out your deepest, inner-most feelings?

Perhaps it's the sage-like quality about them. Like they’ve been around for a long, long time and have seen and heard it all. All they have to do then is listen and give you the space and safety to express yourself, get it out of your system, purge! At the end of it, they’ll know just what to do and say to make it all better and more amazingly, clearer for you. The grand vocation of Cancer is that of therapist.

They make you feel safe. Cared for. Loved. It just comes natural to them, to be nurturing.

That one guy sitting around a dinner party table, smiling serenely at all the guests as each offers a piece of the conversation? Listening intently but never brash or showing off, that’s a Cancer man. He never interjects and when he does speak, the room goes silent with all eyes on him eager to hear his musings. It’s also likely the dinner party will be at his house. He prefers it that way – rather choosing the intimacy of home to noisy, bustling public places.

He is friends with everyone. Even his ex-girlfriends. Even the boyfriends of his ex-girlfriends. He somehow never puts a foot wrong. Count yourself lucky if you have a close Cancer friend. He'll be your stay and comfort – the one friendship you’ll have around for a long time.
