But a Cancer woman does not go headlong into any relationship. She takes her time before committing. She values emotional intimacy and compatibly and does not enter into shallow relationships or casual flings.
A Cancer woman may sometime over care for you and protect you out of her motherly instincts but her actions come from a place of pure love rather than trying to be in control or manipulative.
Facts:
1) Cancerians are prone to Moodiness
The Cancer Woman is ruled by the Moon. Her moods wax and wane like the lunar cycle.
She is fluid like her ruling element water; she is both peaceful and passionate.
Just like the tidal waves rise and fall, she has her mood swings. She can be stubborn, docile, happy and furious all in the same hour.
She is strong willed, persistent and nurturing but can sometimes draw into her shell and be reserved if disturbed or provoked.
If you want to understand and support a Cancerian Woman, give her time and space to feel her entire range of emotions, they keep on changing and she will always come back from her shell and be her goofy self once again.
2) Cancerians are very loyal and trustworthy friends

Their motherly instincts propel them to comfort and nurture their close friends. They are the ones who would text you to check if you have reached home safely from a late night out or send you a motivational text before your big event.
They are the ones who would send you homemade cakes and handwritten cards for your birthday.
They are the ones who can counsel and comfort you after a bad break up and will come running to protect you if you ever land up in a difficult situation.
Cancerian woman is also very loyal and trustworthy. Any secret that you share with her will always remain guarded.
3) Cancerians tend to overanalyze situations
Cancerians care about everything a lot and therefore they tend to overanalyze everything. In order to ensure a decision that not only benefits them but also people around them, they weigh the pros and cons and do not jump head first into a situation.
Cancerians are so sensitive to vibes and are so attentive to subtle details like body language and tone of voice; their sensitivity and hyper active sense organs can really exhaust them.
They like people and situations that are straight forward because they can so easily see through pretense and nothing loses their interest faster than lies and hypocrisy.
If you are engaging with a Cancerian woman, it is better to be straight forward and tell her the truth because she will find it out anyways, thanks to her intuition and psychic ability.
4) Cancerians are intuitive and psychic
Cancer is first water sign of the zodiac and is ruled by Moon and therefore is greatly affected by the human emotions. The cancer woman is more in touch with her emotions and intuition than you can imagine.
If she says she doesn’t feel right about someone or something, it pays to take notice. She might not be able to reason it out with you with logic but her intuition and psychic ability is pretty bang on.
She follows her instincts to know which path to follow or whom to trust, it is not about being judgmental but she is deeply in touch with her instincts and feelings.
5) Cancerians are sensitive and nurturing
The Cancerian woman is sensitive – very sensitive but not only to her needs. A Cancerian woman is the most nurturing, caring and loving of all zodiac signs because of her intuition, sensitivity and deep running emotions.
She can pick up on your unsaid needs and thoughts and will carefully find a way to fulfill them. She will intuitively know when to provide you a sympathetic ear, when to be the shoulder you can lean on, when to put on her goofy face and when to slow dance in the rain.
Nothing describes Cancer woman as “home is where the heart is”. Family and friends are her high priority and she nurtures them and joyfully accepts the role of a caregiver in relationships.
If you have a Cancer woman in your life, thank your stars for all the unending love and nurturing that you get and don’t forget to care for her and pamper her because she sometimes forgets to take care of herself by caring for and pampering others all the time.
