All right, when two Cancers fall in love, it's the real deal, and it's all about the
family. Cancer is just so family-oriented, and this sign isn't playing around — Cancers
need the security of a commitment. So if these two come together in a relationship, they're
in it for the long haul. Think about Mike and Carol Brady from The Brady Bunch. Such
a perfect Cancer--Cancer pairing. It's all about the family — all about the kids, hanging
out at home together. They bring this huge brood together and then just spend their days
eating casseroles and playing croquet in the back yard. But you know what I always wondered,
watching that show? Okay, so this single mom, Carol, and this single dad, Mike, find each
other and fall in love and blend their families — okay, great. But where were the ex-husband
and the ex-wife? Right? Did we ever see the girls' real father visit, or the boys' real
mom? I don't think so! And here's the thing — Cancer can hold a serious grudge. So I'm
thinking the real mom and pop must've done something seriously awful — too terrible
to mention on TV back in the '70s, when that show was on the air. No, but two Cancers — this
is generally a really good pairing, just like the Bradys. But remember, Cancer is a Water
sign, and has a reputation for being quite moody. This is the sign of the Crab, and when
a crab feels threatened or hurt, what does it do? It pulls back into its shell. It withdraws
from the world until it feels like it's safe to come out again. So if two Cancers are in
an intimate, committed love affair, well, I guess it's a good thing they're both that
way — at least they can understand it about each other. Otherwise, ugh — I'd hate to
be in that pairing. Hurt feelings and gloomy, moody behavior all day long, Mr Brady locking
himself in the den! No, but these two can really share a lot of love, and they're built
for commitment. Expect the house and the dog and the big brood of children with this one.
Cancer wouldn't settle for anything less.
