What Eros in Cancer wants
In Cancer, Eros is emotional, protective and cyclical. You want intimacy that feels like home, and your desire rises and falls with safety and mood. You pursue by nurturing, and you are seduced by being nurtured.
The gift
You make intimacy feel like belonging. Partners feel cared for in bed and out of it, and you remember everything that matters to them.
The shadow
The shadow is desire that becomes mothering, moods that switch it off, and clinging to people who need you rather than want you.
Working with it
Let yourself be a lover, not only a carer. Say what you want rather than waiting to be read. Keep desire separate from rescue.
