Overview
Rather uncannily, Cancer Women have an almost complete touch with their own emotional faculties. People may have a habit of denying their emotions in favor of logic and reason, but Cancer women are among the few who can wield their emotions with equal skill.
Of course, even with this, there are times when it can be difficult for them to control their emotions. Although powerful as a weapon, they can easily be swept up by their own feelings and forget their place in the social order, hurting friends at times.
Nevertheless, they are loyal and true to their friends' cause.
Element & Modality
Water is the Cancer woman’s foremost element. Water is rightly considered as the element of empathy and emotion. It is capable of bringing people together, but likewise capable of destroying everything at the simple snap of a finger.
What cements this particular fact is that their quality is ultimately Cardinal. This means that they feel greater emotional upheavals than most signs. They also possess greater understanding of the way people tend to work on an emotional level.
As such, this ultimately makes them contemplative and social. Their tendency to worry about others is a gift truly in its own right.
Constellation
Cancer women derive their form from their sign-- the Crab. A multi-faceted creature, it highlights a disposition that allows it to overcome the rigors of its environment by means of its shell. It also retains the ability to defend itself with its pincers.
In a way, this represents the Cancer woman’s true nature. They are endlessly gentle and kind. They will always care about other people due to their emotional bend, but they can also be hard to deal with when put to their very limit.
This pleasant balance is exactly the main reason why Cancer women are proud and great.
Ruling Planet
In astrology, the celestial body ruling over the Cancer woman is not so much a planet, but still an integral part in the realm of astrology-- the Moon. Responsible for governing the tides and even life itself, it plays a great role in defining Cancer.
This is because it ultimately lets us peer into our innermost desires. Being the symbol of emotion, Cancer women are also in tune with what people usually hide from others-- this makes them highly perceptive.
As such, you may well say that Cancer women can tell how you feel from just the way you act.
Tips
Think before you act
Sometimes, Cancer women can go into an uncontrollable frenzy or otherwise forced not to think when the situation starts to get to them. This can cause you to make decisions that might get you to spots that you personally don't intend to be in.
Thus, as much as it is important for Cancer women to prioritize their emotions, it's also worth prioritizing your mind just as much. Don't let situations dictate how you behave, and instead evaluate things calmly and without reservation.
As long as you have a firm grasp on your mind and heart alike, life will stay easy.
Don’t always assume other people’s motives
Cynicism can sometimes be a problem for Cancer women, and often this can come from simply basing life on one’s own lived experiences and never letting new information influence one’s judgment as a result.
Once you're afflicted by this, not only will life seem absolutely predictable, it can even ruin potential friendships and connections that you could have if you would only open your mind up to new experiences and beginnings.
Thus, it is highly encouraged that you forgo your deep cynicism, and instead look at the world from a fresh point of view. Let the world surprise you entirely!
Hide your feelings when necessary
Cancer women can have problems hiding their feelings from other people due to the height of their emotional affinity. Of course, there is nothing wrong about being emotional per se, but the problem comes when there are people ready to take advantage.
When being emotional, you should remember to try and open up only to those you can trust, as there can be a few people out there who'll simply want to take advantage of your emotional triggers.
Ultimately, this will help you know people better and with far less cost and allow you to connect in an informed way.
Don’t commit yourself until you’re ready
Usually, Cancer women tend to commit themselves the moment they are attached to a person. While this is good for them in the long-term, doing so too quickly can cause problems with their emotional health.
As such, you should consider thinking about your commitment first before you push it. Know the other person first and try to be a bit more subtle with others-- it can be hard, but it will be worth the wait the other person has proven themselves.
And don't worry too much about the number of friends you have, either-- quality is what matters most here.
Think about yourself too
Of course, Cancer women are known for one thing: they really do care about other people. Sometimes, they have a habit of placing others' needs above themselves, and while this does them a lot of good as a team, it tends to go poorly much later for you.
This is because helping people can also tire you out, despite the joy it may give you. This doesn't mean helping people isn't good, but like all things, you need to find the sweet balance behind caring for others and self-care.
Don't hesitate to give yourself some me time-- love yourself, too!
