Cancer Sign Dates & Traits

Cancers are easily recognizable by their communication style: they tend to share their experiences and emotions when telling stories, paying more attention to their feelings than to the events themselves. This makes them deeply emotional and soulful people. However, due to their fear of betrayal and pain, Cancers often hide their true emotions behind a protective "shell."

At first glance, Cancers may seem reserved or even cold, but with time, they reveal themselves as some of the most loyal and devoted friends. Their ability to form deep emotional connections makes them excellent friends, but it can also be a source of vulnerability, as they tend to give themselves entirely to relationships.

If you want to be close to a Cancer without hurting them, it's essential to be sincere and respectful of their feelings. Cancers value stability and reliability in relationships, and if they trust you, they will be ready to share all their emotional wealth with you.
