The love language of a Cancer placement has to do with nurturing and nurturing emotional connections gently.
This lunar-ruled water sign is often seen as the divine mother of the zodiac because of its relationship to caring, nostalgia, and housework. When it comes to love, Cancer loves you deeply and once they love you, they will love you forever (even if it hurts them to do so).
Sun in Cancer: Acts of Service
The sun sign is the center of the chart, just as it is the center of our universe. This placement highlights our core values and characteristics and how these things are the foundation of our lives. A Cancer Sun values emotional bonds and the ability to hold space for others because they are nurturing people by nature.
When it comes to service-minded love language, it can sometimes be hard to compete with the ever-giving Cancer-sun native, but as their partner, you should know better than anyone how much a Cancer-sun can please! So show them how much you care by helping them bake the cakes for the bake sale, picking up their mom’s dry cleaning if they accidentally forget, and then giving them a bath at the end of the day. to let them know how much. they mean to you.
Moon in Cancer: quality time
Your moon sign is the biggest indicator of how you prefer to be nurtured and cared for. As the ruling planet of Cancer, the concept of grooming is an integral part of every aspect of a Cancer native’s life! Often a Cancer moon finds themselves in the role of a nurturer in their lives. They feel comfortable being the shoulder to cry on and often encourage others to let their emotions run wild. Just as they have the ability to hold space for others, they expect the same level of emotional intelligence in return. They don’t share their problems in the hope that you will help them find a solution. They just need a shoulder to cry on, so practice your active listening!
Quality time for a Cancer moon should always be free of distractions, so that means putting away screens and turning on listening ears. Sharing personal stories from your day, as well as your past, is how you build your emotional connection with a Cancer moon. Cancer is a very nostalgic sign so they will often want to talk about their past (with rose colored glasses on) and if you do the same it will help them feel more involved in your life.
Mercury in Cancer: words of affirmation
Mercury is a very important placement to analyze in any relationship because we all know the relationship adage, “communication is key.” I would add that while communication is critical, understanding is just as important. Fortunately, both skills can be found in your Mercury placement! Cancer Mercury communicates through stories because stories are a more creative way to communicate and share information. Facts are often less important than feelings for this Mercury sign. Feelings are much more truthful.
Cancer Mercury is just as much, if not more, about vibrations than the words you say. I’m sure we all remember our parents telling us “I don’t like that tone” when we were teenagers, and it’s true that the way you say something is just as important as what you say. Your Cancer-Mercury lover will pick up on the emotions behind your words, so when they ask how your day is, be honest with them because they really want to know!
Venus in Cancer: Gift giving
Venus is the planet of love and aesthetic appeal. This placement in your horoscope shows what you find beautiful in the world, but also what draws your attention to other people. Understanding your placement on Venus can help you better understand what qualities you look for in a partner.
The love language for gift giving is often misunderstood; many people consider it gluttonous and greedy, but it is much more than that. Gift giving, in this context, is about your loved one thinking of you while you were apart and wanting to show you a sign of their affection. For Cancer Venus specifically, giving and receiving trinkets and tchotchkes is the way to their hearts, especially if they’re beach themed. A shell, a mermaid statue, sand from a beach where you vacationed together during your honeymoon, a cool rock, a shiny gem are all top Cancer-Venus gifts to give!
Mars in Cancer: physical touch
Mars is often thought of as the planet of war, and that’s because the red planet is most closely related to our primary desires and impulsive actions. Looking at humans as the animals we are, our only real purpose is to survive, eat and reproduce, and the motivations for those things are found in our placements on Mars.
Mars isn’t always happy in a water sign like Cancer, as it’s more intuitive and less impulsively driven, but when it comes to the love language of physical touch, Cancer Mars really shines! This is because physical touch as a love language is not just about sex, but about building intimacy through physical connection. For your Cancer Mars lover, this means that cuddling, watching movies on the couch, holding hands while walking in the park, stealing kisses all day long, and placing a hand on each other’s thigh while eating will be the constant and necessary reminders you need to know that you are in it for the long haul.
