Cancer: A Day In The Life

Step 1: At home

Maternal, loving Cancer is up first in the morning attending to the object of her affection if she's having a good day. As a cardinal sign, she'll be initiating the morning's activities and will want her partner to be instantly in tune with her emotional state, nay, her soul. Once that's established she'll want to get back to a little bit more nurturing.

Traditional home cooking is Cancer's food of choice. Nothing will please her more than to serve her partner the wholesome meal she's made.

Cancer hates not being in control. Churning up that well of emotion will result in more than a little crabbiness.

Step 2: At work

The crab is a homely creature. So much so she'll want to bring her home to the office. Sensitive and intuitive, any opportunity to have a frank discussion of hers or anyone else's emotions and she'll be the first to react and she'll bring tissues.

The crab will like to lead but not dominate. Hard-working Cancerians will be on everyone's side as long as they all work just as hard and do exactly what they're told to do. If anyone wants to give their opinion, a Cancerian boss will be there to listen to it. She'll also be gentle and soothing while she tells them what to do, even if it isn't exactly good news.

Step 3: Socialising

It's unusual to see a Cancerian on a night out, she'd rather be having a cosy family dinner at home. But once she's tempted out of her shell she'll probably be putting everyone else first.

Sensitive Cancer may have a tendency to come over all nostalgic and sentimental. She'll have a close group of friends who will be given total loyalty as long as they don't betray her trust. But don't cross the crab because those pincers can be sharp.
