Usually a little shy and timid, but when a Cancer feels among friends, they’re easily relaxed. The crab has rich imagination and senses so subtle, that even the slightest change in the situation can cause disharmony within.

They’re able to relentlessly persuade their love interests, finding thousands of ways to show him/her their feelings.
