Protective, loving, sensitive, fun … (and very lunatic), the Cancer mother is a box of surprises and is never 100% what it seems. So it is quite difficult to classify it.
And not only because under the hard shell of the crab and, despite its threatening claws, a sensitive, sweet and endearing being hides , but because the influence of the Moon, its planet, makes it have as many faces as lunar phases.
Born to be a mother
Yet there is something about the Cancer mother that never changes: her irresistible maternal instinct. The reason is that their sign governs the house and motherhood. So he always dreams of starting a home and a family, whatever the type. And in one way or another she ends up developing her role as a mother having children or becoming a midwife, childcare provider, teacher, aid worker …
The positive part is that she is an attentive and caring mother who is always aware that her children do not lack absolutely nothing. She adapts her schedules and interests to her children, and even willingly gives up her own career to care for them.
The downside, however, is that that same attention and diligence can turn into overprotective and over-controlled, on the one hand, or lead to self-centered and capricious children, on the other, who are not used to not getting their way.
- Her strengths: dedication, tenderness, and unconditional love. Few mothers are as detached with their children as the Cancer mother.
- His weak points: possessiveness, overprotection, and excess control. It will cost you a life to cut the umbilical cord that binds you to it.
And what is the key to relating to her?
The answer is none other than trying to be a bit of a lunatic like her too … On the one hand, let yourself be cared for and pampered. It cannot help it: it is its reason for being. So there is no use resisting.
And on the other hand, set clear and strict limits on where you can and where you can not meddle. The Cancer mother is one of those who are capable of showing up at home without warning and entering without even ringing the bell if you have made the mistake of giving her the keys … (for example).
