She is devastatingly influenced by strong emotions that reach into the sphere of sexual life, and she is unable to separate sex from love. She falls in love with her partners, and these close ties create various limitations and obstacles on her path to happiness. At the same time she is also sexual and sensual, and therefore often encounters difficulties and tends to be unsatisfied. There are few men who appeal to her.
A characteristic quality of women born under this sign is a zest for life, complemented by curiosity and a desire for new sensations - especially sweet and passionate ones. She actively and willingly participates in all of life's happenings; she enjoys sensations, various unusual phenomena and new impressions. She values her body above all else, and it serves her wonderfully in the games of love.
This woman is always attractive - not so much because of her outward beauty as because of the sense of life's fullness that is inherent in her. She has inexhaustible energy, which she is able to put to use in different areas of life. She is proud of her attractive body, cares for it and strives to keep it in good shape. Her temperament does not diminish even into old age; often she becomes a true virtuoso.
She cannot stand heightened tenderness, sentimentality or delicacy - she simply does not perceive this atmosphere of the games of love. After a passion-filled night of love she is capable of behaving as though nothing had happened: not a tender word, caress or smile. She must choose her partner very carefully - the least suitable is Capricorn, the most suitable Virgo and Scorpio. Her greatest enemy is herself.
She is capable of being simultaneously an altogether wonderful woman, lover, mother and homemaker. She is absolutely faithful and belongs to one partner alone, and therefore tends to be intolerant if her partner has the need and desire to maintain contact with several women at the same time.
This woman enjoys subjugating men; she is well aware of her own attractiveness and tries to accentuate it, despite the fact that she does not typically feel strong sexual desire. She generally enjoys lovemaking and easily reaches satisfaction, but any reluctance to adopt more or less extravagant positions during the act may sometimes be dictated by concerns about her hairstyle getting messed up.
Making love (in the true sense of the word) requires a state of consciousness in which judgement and self-control disappear and are replaced by passion, total abandon, unrestrained feeling and ecstasy. Cancer, however, whatever she is doing, always wants to maintain the upper hand over those around her, to rule over and control them. This tendency stands in permanent conflict with sexuality.
She always looks attractive and achieves success; sex is not a matter of indifference to her, yet she also seeks a spiritually rich partner, as physical pleasure alone does not give her complete satisfaction. Wishing to reassure herself of her own attractiveness, she changes partners often; time rushes on the wings of the wind... A series of grey years slips away. Desperate attempts to find happiness lead her to spiritual ruin.
There is no point in idolising her, pursuing her, seducing her or trying to take her by force - she chooses her own partner, and only in tête-à-tête with her chosen one does she reveal the depth of her feelings. She regards her body as a precious instrument that only a virtuoso may play.
With this article I begin a series on zodiac signs and the women born under each particular sign. Each month one of the twelve zodiac signs will be examined, focusing on the nature of women born under that sign in intimate relationships.
