Home Tenderness
It's no surprise that Cancer is very attached to his home. Like the hermit crab, Cancer cannot survive without a home to call his own. It keeps him grounded and makes him feel safe. Cancer will spend a lot of money decorating his home. He'll fill it with all the things that give him comfort and make him feel secure.
To Cancer, his home is like a rare pearl on the beach that sparkles in the sun. Once he has his home perfectly decorated, he'll throw a big party for family and friends to come over and admire it. He's a good host and will make you feel right at home.
Warmth hearted
The tender-hearted trait that's so prominent in Cancer is often misunderstood by other zodiac signs. To complicate matters, Cancer is unable to communicate what he's feeling because he shuts down all emotional responses when hurt. Most of the time, Cancer seems emotionally immature when compared to other signs. While this might be true in some cases, most of the time it's simply that Cancer has a uniquely receptive nature.
Once you get to know him, you'll quickly realize that he's actually a highly-evolved individual who isn't just sensitive to his own emotions. He's also sensitive to other people's feelings. This empathic ability complicates the Cancer emotional state of being. Many Cancer horoscopes are unable to distinguish the difference between their feelings and those they sense in others. Many empathy and psychics have sun signs in Cancer or have several planets in Cancer or one of the other water signs of Pisces or Scorpio.
