If you’re dating a guy who belongs to this sweet and romantic zodiac sign, you may be wondering what the typical weakness of the Cancer man is.
Is he proud and bossy, or perhaps deceitful and cruel?
Fortunately, none of those negative qualities apply to the typical Cancer man, but his sign still has its fair share of weaknesses.
So how can you use astrology to learn what less desirable qualities to look out for in your Cancer guy?
By learning more about the common traits of Cancer zodiac signs, you’ll be able to get a better idea of what their weaknesses are.
Insecurity
Cancer is one of the most insecure zodiac signs, meaning a Cancer man requires constant reassurance from his romantic partner.
If you’re dating a Cancer man, you need to be his biggest cheerleader. He needs you to build him up when he feels bad about himself.
In return, you couldn’t ask for a more supportive partner than a Cancer man. He will do everything he can to encourage you and expect the same in return.
When you are with a Cancer man, don’t forget to shower him with praise and lavish attention on him to make him feel safe and content.

Jealousy
Thanks to their innate insecurity, Cancer is perhaps one of the most jealous of all the zodiac signs.
A Cancer man in love can be quite possessive and gets moody when his partner talks to other men.
Some signs like a little jealousy in their relationships to spice things up, but Cancers don’t like this particular spice.
Never flirt with another guy in front of your Cancer man thinking that it will make him appreciate you more. If anything, you will feel resentful and that will push you away.
Bad mood
One of the typical traits of Cancer is that they are very emotional, a quality that has both positive and negative aspects.
On the positive side, Cancer men are very sensitive to the emotions of others and try hard not to hurt anyone’s feelings.
They also like to talk and analyze feelings, so if you are in a relationship with a Cancer man, you don’t have to worry about him not realizing it emotionally.
On the negative side, Cancer men deeply feel all their emotions, including unpleasant ones like anger or sadness.
Their emotions are also volatile and can change quickly, causing people around them to rush to catch up with their mood swings.
You can expect him to switch frantically from one emotion to another, so don’t be surprised if he’s crying one moment and laughing the next.
A Cancer man can be temperamental and short-tempered, so try to stay out of his way when he’s in a bad mood or, better yet, try to make him feel better.
If you can laugh at his bad mood or help cheer him up, you will prove invaluable to a Cancer man.

cunning
Cancer could be the best sign in the horoscope to tell a secret because if anyone knows how to hide something, it is a Cancer man.
Each zodiac sign correlates with a planet or celestial body that reveals something about that sign’s personality. The celestial body that rules Cancer is the moon.
Just as the moon remains partially hidden in the shadows most of the time, a Cancer man also knows how to hide what he doesn’t want others to know.
On the one hand, you can tell him any secret and trust him to keep it safe. On the other hand, Cancer is excellent at lying and sneaking around because they are very adept at keeping secrets.
If a Cancer man doesn’t want you to know something, you will never know. Although you can trust him with your secrets, make sure you can trust him with your heart too.
caution
Each of the twelve signs of the zodiac has a unique symbol that summarizes the different personality traits of that sign. The symbol of Cancer is a crab.
Ocean crabs wear their hard, protective shells on their backs at all times. They always have access to shelter to keep them safe.
Just as a crab protects itself with a defensive shell, a Cancer man wears armor around his heart.
Cancers are so sensitive that they have a hard time letting anyone get close to them. They are so afraid of getting their hearts broken that they can seem cold and distant.
But once a Cancer man trusts you, he won’t hold back emotionally. It just takes some time to get used to someone new.

Needy
If you crave independence and can’t stand having a clingy partner, then you should avoid dating Cancer because they are perhaps the most needy of all the zodiac signs.
When in love, a Cancer man wants to be with his partner at all times. If it were up to him, he would never leave your side.
Cancers need constant attention and affection to feel satisfied in a relationship, and they almost always prefer to be with their partner than alone or with anyone else.
If you make plans without him or tell him you need some time alone, he may be offended or feel unloved.
When dating a Cancer man, be prepared to have a constant companion because he will stick to you like glue.
Pessimistic
When it comes to how they view life, Cancers tend to see the glass half empty. However, you can’t help it, it’s in the nature of your sign.
Each zodiac sign correlates with one of the four natural elements: air, fire, earth or water. Cancer is a water sign.
Water and earth signs tend to be more negative and have a pessimistic worldview, while fire and air signs are generally more positive and optimistic.
If you are also a pessimist, having a pessimistic partner could make the dark cloud over you even more stormy. If you’re an optimist, you might feel like your Cancer guy is always bringing you down.
But if you know you’re dating a pessimist, you can do your best to balance his negative nature in the relationship.
Don’t let your Cancer man’s pessimism get you down. Show him the good side of life and help him see the positive side of any situation.

Passive-Aggressive
Those born under the zodiac sign of Cancer tend to be non-confrontational. They hate arguments and avoid confronting other people.
They are also very intuitive and can sense other people’s emotions. Unfortunately, they often don’t realize that this is an unusual gift and expect others to also know psychically how they feel.
The combination of strong intuition and the desire to avoid conflict makes Cancer very passive-aggressive.
If something is bothering your Cancer man, instead of telling you what’s wrong, he will pout and sulk. He thinks you should know how he feels without having to tell you.
Don’t expect a Cancer guy to explain his mood to you. He’s more than comfortable talking about feelings, but he hopes you understand him well enough that he doesn’t have to explain himself.
Enough
Each zodiac sign has a unique location on the zodiac wheel known as the “house” where that sign lives.
The Cancer horoscope sign is located in the fourth house of the zodiac, the house of home and family.
Cancers love nothing more than being in their own homes surrounded by their family and loved ones.
Cancers strive for comfort and security, which can make them complacent once they achieve these goals.
Once Cancer is happily settled, whether at work, with their partner, or at home, they may lose their ambition and stop striving for more.
Fortunately, with a little push in the right direction, you can easily motivate him to reach for the stars.
Each zodiac sign has one of three modalities, which describes a particular aspect of that sign’s personality.
Cancer is a cardinal modality sign, meaning Cancers like to initiate, create, and innovate. They are innately dynamic and do not fear change.
If you have a Cancer partner, you may need to pressure them to broaden their horizons. It’s not that he’s lazy or afraid, he’s just happy where he is and sees no need to move forward.

High expectations
A Cancer man has high standards for everyone around him. From his coworkers to his romantic partner, if you’re in his life, he has high expectations for you.
Because a Cancer man is so loving, protective, and generous with the people he loves, he expects the same treatment from them. You may become resentful and bitter if you don’t feel appreciated.
The problem is that a Cancer man gives so much without being asked and then is disappointed when he doesn’t receive the same in return.
It can be exhausting trying to live up to the expectations of a Cancer man. If you are not prepared to reciprocate his generosity in every way, then you should not pursue a relationship with a Cancer man.
