The Cancer woman in love
The Cancer woman is nurturing and intuitive, and loves with her whole heart once she feels safe. She reads moods closely and remembers everything.
Signs a Cancer woman likes you
She checks how you are, invites you into her home or family world and looks after small needs before you mention them.
What puts a Cancer woman off
Carelessness with her feelings, inconsistency and partners who treat her caring as something owed.
The Cancer woman in a long relationship
Long-term she is loyal, nurturing and emotionally attuned, and she makes a relationship feel like home.
In an argument, and after a breakup
She reacts to tone as much as words, and hurt can come out as withdrawal or tears. After a breakup she needs emotional support and time before she can let go.

How long Venus stays in Cancer, against the other signs
Tradition reads Venus for affection and taste, so descriptions of the Cancer woman lean on it. Yet only 23.6% of people born with the Sun in Cancer have Venus there too; Gemini (31.3%) and Leo (28.5%) are more likely. The chart compares how long Venus lingers in each sign overall.
Cancer: 8.47% of days over 159 separate visits — the sixth-highest of the twelve. A typical visit lasts 25 days; the longest, 4 months from May 1900, when a retrograde loop held it there. That is 0.75 percentage points behind Aries.

How many women are Cancer at all
31.45
days the Sun spends in Cancer this year —
the longest of the twelve. The signs
are not equal.
8.84%
of US births in 2000–2014 were Cancer — the 3rd most common of the twelve signs. The source does not split births by sex.
+0.51
points against an even 8.33%. Its 31.45-day length alone
would give 8.61%; the birth calendar
adds 0.23 points.
These figures are identical for the man — nothing in the chart responds to gender.
