Cancer has an emotionally manipulative, yet controlled manner. To bond, Cancer does what it does best – using its spatial intelligence to control, manipulate, and merge. Cancer is emotionally intelligent, a sign that represents the very notion of Feminine intuition. Security comes from creating a deeply personal, emotionally charged bond. People, places, and things hold the utmost sentimental value to this placement. The emotional investment runs deep, as it emotionally secures Cancer’s needs. It can even present as an anxious attachment style if it goes unchecked. After all, Cancer needs that bond to feel like everything is a-okay. Security through bonds is like the tether to reality that keeps Cancer grounded. Cancer will secure what it needs to through nurturing the thing it wants. So, if this is a person, then Cancer will nurture this person’s heart, mind, and stomach! Think emotional labour, validation, and home-cooked food. If this is a place or thing, Cancer will throw itself into such. It’s like nurturing a plant to grow, a business deal to flourish, a house in need of remodelling, etc. At times, Cancer’s incredible emotional investment will not be reciprocal, so emotional manipulation may take place to feel truly secure. Cancer will gaslight if it feels like control or security has been lost! Again, this may result in an anxious attachment style, so negative aspects of this may present when security feels like it’s at stake. A fantastic example of this security-based mindset presents itself is in merged sexual bonds. Cancer is all or nothing with sexual bonds, as these bonds will be like a marriage or the beginning of an intended foundation. If Cancer has spent so much time and energy nurturing a bond, then this bond is expected to last. Romantic and mothering, Cancer is sexually charged by the idea of love. Love is the only aphrodisiac this placement needs. Soft caresses, sweet nothings that are gently whispered, and longing gazes are foreplay for Cancer. This sign dreams of a love so pure and magnificent it runs as deep as the ocean itself. It also means that jealousy and insecurity run equally deep. While Cancer is so imbibed with love, it can be the very thing that turns Cancer sour as well. It is a placement that can become quite antagonistic when they believe that their sexual bond is in jeopardy. While Cancer’s love runs deep like the ocean, they also aren’t afraid to drown their lover when feeling crossed! Since this placement is so emotionally attuned and invested, death isn’t taken lightly. Faced with collateral metaphysical or metaphorical loss, Cancer retreats. When it comes to merged investments, Cancer is all about investing in its foundation. Merged bonds and assets ought to be supportive, ones that Cancer can cling to in times of uncertainty. Scrupulous and stingy, Cancer invests wisely. All merged investments are well-thought-out. If Cancer can nurture the investment to grow, then all the better! When it comes to power and karma, Cancer will find this in its emotional capacity. Karmically, Cancer is bogged down by the emotional turmoil of others. The overwhelming emotional undercurrent can cause Cancer to retreat, dip, and dodge. Cancer would prefer to keep this a secret, only opting to share with those in its family and home. Emotional security is also Cancer’s power. As Cancer heals its feminine side by leaning into its intuitive power, Cancer becomes the ultimate nurturer. In return, Cancer’s power is the ability to nurture others’ potential as well.
