Cancer Woman Personality, Traits & Characteristics

Cancer women often seem like mother hens, as they like to look after everyone around them. Their family and friends are genuinely important to them, and there is nothing they wouldn’t do for the people closest to them. Women born under this sign, with their strong emotions and empathetic nature, also tend to believe strongly in causes and throw their support behind them.

One of the Cardinal signs, Cancer women are also very ambitious and have a clear idea of what they want for themselves in life. They are single-minded when it comes to pursuing their goals, and they can get frustrated when things don’t go their way, which can make them appear selfish, despite their innately generous nature. They have a tendency to try and do it all, and do it all alone, which can result in excessive stress.

Home Life & Family

When you pass the threshold of the house of a Cancer woman, you may feel like you are arriving home. Their generous and giving nature is reflected in their home and they do everything they can to make everyone feel at ease and comfortable.

While they make this look effortless, a lot of work goes into constructing their perfect lives. Scratch the surface and you will find some tight schedules and lengthy to-do lists, with her name against every task.

Career & Money

They say that if you want something done, ask a busy person. Cancer is that person. They always have a lot on their plate, but they are so good at prioritizing and organizing, that everything seems to happen like clockwork. This makes them ideal for coordinating roles.

Their nurturing nature means that everyone in their team will also feel valued and respected. Cancer women aren’t frivolous and are good at saving for their future. Their financial Achilles heal is their desire to help anyone in need.

Cancer Women in Love & Relationships

Cancer women have no problem forming new connections due to their genuine caring nature and ability to read and understand people. But these women are picky. As well as looking for the indefinable spark, they need someone that will fit into their community.

They could never love anyone that their family and best friends didn’t love as well. They can be on the controlling side in relationships, and also quite secretive, thinking that it is best to deal with problems alone rather than air them with their partner.
