When You're On: Social Cancers like to be surrounded by a group of close friends. Conversation is your favorite way to bond, and you prefer lounge-y environments where you don't have to shout to share the latest gossip. Going out to dinner with a crew is a favorite pasttime for this food-loving sign—the more exotic the restaurant, the better. Music and art charge you up, so listening to live bands or getting lost at an art gallery will bring you the creative buzz you live for.
When You're Off: Cancers like to retreat to a private space when you're in the mood to veg. As one of the zodiac's homeloving signs, you're happy to lock youself in your room and dream the day away. Creative pursuits help you relax your mind. Whether you're knitting a scarf or tinkering around with a guitar, you like to occupy youselves with a project. This sign loves to eat and you also love to cook. A day at home inevitably involves a trip (or three!) to the kitchen to prepare a rich and tasty little somethin' somethin'.
CANCER & FRIENDSHIP
On a good day, friendships with
Cancers can feel like chicken soup for the soul—warm, healing,
and comforting. Sensitive to moods and feelings, Cancers naturally
tune in to people's emotions. You like to nurture your loved ones
and feel guilty turning your backs on people in pain. In spite of
your giving nature, you are quite private when it comes to youself.
In the beginning, you;ll know your friends better than your
friends know you. However, your sign is not looking for superficial
relationships. You want real friends that you can connect with on
a deep level. Once you've opened up, Cancers will gather your closest
friends into cozy little families.
Don't judge a book by its cover, though. No matter what Cancers show on the surface, there's a lot going on behind the scenes. Ruled by the ever-changing moon, you can be quite moody. Crabbiness will come up and can confuse friends. Usually, these downswings are a result of Cancers holding too many feelings inside. By learning how to be more open and self-accepting, Cancers can create a consistent vibe within your friendships.
Sentimental Cancers like to surround youselves with photo of loved ones. Whoever makes it to your inner circle will have a constant flashbulb popping in her eyes. It's getting into the picture that's the hard part. Self-protective Cancers do not let people in very easily—and you don't let go easily either.
