CANCER ASSOCIATIONS

Cancer is known for its protective family instincts and its emotional, loving side. They are incredibly loyal but if you don't measure up when they need you the most or endanger their brood, they will cut you off and not look back! They can be clingy and moody and oversensitive but they can also be shrewd, sympathetic ,intuitive and sensual. It all comes down to how you treat them. Wound them emotionally, and they will crawl into their shell and no amount of coaxing will get them to come out before they are ready. Wound their family or friends and run for your life, because those claws will snap faster on your extremities then you will think humanly possible!
