All about Virgo Man

Virgo man - August 24 – September 23

 

Introduction:

Practicality rules the mind of a typical Virgo male. He thinks, acts and sometimes even dreams logically. The best way to be around him is to ‘cut the fuss’. He has a repulsion for flowery language or unnecessary emotional gestures. If there’s someone who likes to travel light, it’s him. With a Virgo man, no emotional baggage please! Although emotional himself, he is not likely to understand the state of emotions in others. And when in love he needs ample of room… to be himself, to do his thing, and to take off if required.

Behind his serious expression is a mind that loves to laugh. I say mind because he likes intelligent humour and not slapstick comedy. He is knowledgeable and opinionated and shrewd enough not to let others, especially strangers, see the hand that is being dealt to him. A man who knows his mind and understands his needs – a man who frequently asks himself ‘what’s in it for me?’, that’s a typical Virgo guy.

How to identify a Virgo man?

A Virgo man is quiet and reserved, not much into initiating conversation unless spoken to. He is the type of person who would take initiative only if he has a motive. Only if you possess a hobby like mine of observing people and their behaviour will you be able to spot a Virgo man. Here again I am at a loss on how to classify Virgo men into aggressive and passive categories because I have observed that Virgo men behave aggressively only when provoked or pushed.

While in a conversation they might display interest in keeping it interactive, they usually spend time getting their point across. They are also very opinionated.

How does he score on the following points?

Cynicism: I have observed that 70% of Virgo men are cynical. Sometimes being cynical can be a good thing because it can bring forth the zing required to achieve success. It can bring out the best in you. If used correctly, cynicism can be a great motivator. Somehow most Virgo men have the tact to use it positively. The flipside is given a situation of dispute/disagreement their cynical side gets them into awkward situations.

Suspicion: A Virgo man on suspicion… yes and no. ‘Yes’ because he is suspicious when it comes to his career and achievements and ‘no’ because he isn’t suspicious about his relationships. He is possessive about his achievements and personal belongings. With his work and people related to work, he is forever on his guard, especially regarding money matters. Regarding his relationships he displays a secure and non-caring attitude. He is not likely to be suspicious except when given a reason to doubt.

Jealousy: A definite YES! A Virgo man can be jealous and very easily so. If at work or business his direct competition scores over him, our man can go green with envy. He finds it difficult to stand someone else’s success, if that person is in the same field of work. The reason for this… he thinks he deserves it more than the next man. On relationship front, he can be extremely jealous if his girlfriend or wife displays interest in another man.

What does a Virgo man want from life?

Well, this question cannot be answered in a word or two as the list of his desires is endless. Not only does he want everything from life, he also wants to be good at everything he does… the best in the industry or field as they say. Definitely not one to be satisfied with an ordinary life, he is perceptive enough to make do with low standards while he is struggling. But he has the girth and determination to achieve his targets. And a quality life is one of his targets.

What is his characteristic weakness?

Although I have mentioned his characteristic weakness earlier, I would like to elaborate on it here. His chief shortcoming is his disability to create and maintain relationships. He avoids people generally and is not particular about keeping up friends and acquaintances. Yet he is dependent on them for one thing or the other. This habit makes him come across as selfish and self-centered. And who isn’t sensitive to such behaviour?

What is his approach to life?

A Virgo man is not very realistic. But he is practical enough to know that life is full of ups and downs and since he likes new challenges his pragmatism is of great use to him. On an emotional level he is rather partial… not so emotional about others and quite emotional about himself. He is also sentimental.

Given his ambitiousness, a Virgo man is quite a dreamer. He believes in dreaming big and achieving big. He is fine with someone else taking the lead, but only till he learns the tricks of the trade. From there on he would prefer being the ultimate leader.

How is he on the professional front?

The fact that he is great at planning, ideating and organising, enables a Virgo man to be good at work. As an employee, he will excel in any given task and will outdo his co-workers— firstly, as he is ambitious and secondly, because he is competitive. He is also the one with bright ideas and solutions. A thinker and a practical man…or let’s say a                             ‘practical thinker’, a Virgo male is efficient at any given job. He also makes for a good colleague as he tends to understand rather too well the maths of dependability.

However, his analytical mind and criticising nature can sometimes be a hindrance. Since he sets standards that are too high for himself as well as others, it is difficult to please him. But when at work, his commitment, sincerity and ability to work hard is unquestionable.

Given all their faults (who hasn’t got faults anyways!),Virgo men are intelligent and shrewd. Combined with an excellent memory and a sharp mind, it arms them with all the attributes of being good entrepreneurs.Most of them have innate business acumen and the necessary drive to succeed.Above all, they are quite rational in their thinking and astute in money matters—those being the all important ingredients of a good businessman.

How is he when in love?

Just like how he is on any regular day. There is no difference between a Virgo man in love and a Virgo man not in love. Like I said before he finds it difficult to emote and even when in love, you will not find anything lover-like in his behaviour. Also he is a hardcore practical man… the proverbial man of the world so nothing he does is for the sake of sentiments and emotions. If you are expecting scented love letters and sweet nothings from your lover… you are clearly with the wrong man.

Maintaining a love relationship with a Virgo man is like being in a chemistry lab – everything has to be mixed in the right way in the right amount. Otherwise fireworks are in order! To get the best out of your Virgo man you have to maintain the right amount of closeness and the right amount of distance with him. He wants to be loved but not overburdened with it. Overt display of emotions can turn him off, so keep everything subtle.

When dating a Virgo man, you should…

… make the first move. And if you think it sounds un-ladylike or needy you can steer away from the Virgo guy. If you are waiting for him to ask you out, chances are it won’t happen for a long long time.

Before dating a Virgo man you need to learn certain lessons about this guy and his nature. While he is a funny and intelligent friend and a wonderful companion, with dating he sort of breaks all the rules. Romantic in his own peculiar way, he can re-define the role of a Romeo, if not the term ‘love’ itself. In a word, expect the unexpected while dating a Virgo guy.

Lesson one: He won’t chase you no matter how beautiful, intelligent or rich you are. Although he appreciates these qualities in a woman, he always thinks there are plenty of girls out there for him and he won’t take much effort at convincing you to date him.

Lesson two: His serious expression and un-emotional stance is a façade. He is basically insecure about getting hurt and therefore limits the amount of true emotions on display. But deep down, he is sensitive and loveable. Don’t get fooled with his unenthusiastic response to your advances.

Compatibility quotient:

Who can best deal with the secretive and cautious nature of the Virgo man? Which woman amongst the zodiac is perceptive enough to understand the true depth of his emotions? While a lot would depend on individual circumstances, there are certain personality traits that can help us predict the compatibility quotient of a Virgo man with women from different signs. Let’s find out how.

Virgo man and…

Aries woman: 7/10. This combination can work effectively if the Arian learns to keep her adventurous streak in check. She would also need to put up with the Virgo man’s secrecy and emotional detachment. But she has the verve and spirit to earn the respect and love of the Virgo man.

Taurus woman: 8/10. The Taurean practicality would appeal to the pragmatic Virgo male. Since both are dependable, they would get along well. Moreover, the Taurean passion would help the Virgo guy be more romantic and vocal about his love.

Gemini woman: 7/10. The Gemini woman has many qualities that the Virgo would admire, like intelligence and good conversational skills. But it would be important to make this mutual admiration last in the long run.

Cancer woman: 9/10. A ‘well-baked’ relationship this one! The Cancerian has apt culinary and housekeeping skills to have a beautiful home and a delicious spread for the Virgo man. Moreover, both are sincere and romantic enough to keep the love fires going for a long time.

Leo woman: 4/10. Too many compromises can suck the charm out of this relationship. While her passion can attract the Virgo guy initially, the Leo girl’s constant need for attention is too much for him to take, neither is she adjusting enough to get along with him in a long term relationship.

Virgo woman: 5/10. This relationship can go either way. While both are practical and sincere, they are too demanding of each other. The relationship can also get quite monotonous. But with proper efforts, it can be made to last.

Libra woman: 5/10. A difficult match! A lot of hard work will be required to make this combination a success, mostly from the Libran. She will have to counter his cynicism with her optimism, his detachment with her affection and his criticizing nature with her patience. This relationship can demand a lot of compromises from the Libra woman.

Scorpio woman: 9/10. An excellent combination! Both are smart, intelligent and very often good looking. They would admire each other for these qualities. The Virgo man will let the Scorpion take the lead on the home front, while he would impress her with his perfectionism.

Sagittarius woman: 6/10: This relationship can be a strain due to the basic difference between the temperaments of these two. She is an extrovert while he is a reserved person. Her wild nature can go against the conservative thinking of the Virgo guy.

Capricorn woman: 7/10: This combination has all the qualities of a successful relationship. The Capricorn woman has warmth and affection which will help the Virgo man open up with his emotions, while he is dependable enough to give her the security she needs. But he would have to curb his roving eyes to make her feel secure and gain her trust. Also the reassurance of love that a Capricorn woman needs is something this man may not be able to provide.

Aquarius woman: 6/10: With right amount of adjustments, this relationship can work fantastically. She can counter his pessimism with her optimism and take his emotional needs in her stride. They would also please each other on an intellectual level.

Pisces woman: 6/10: The Virgo man would be quite at sea about how to handle the sensitive Piscean. While the Pisces woman will not comprehend his emotional detachment, the Virgo male will find her too needy and pushy for comfort. But if he provides her with the comforts of life and display love (emotion) once in a while, it might just work out well for both.

All about Leo woman

Leo woman - July 24 - August 23

 

Introduction:

What’s the most striking characteristic of a lioness? She’s a born hunter. Graceful, athletic and stunning to look at, the lioness has a beauty of a different genre. There is a stark difference between the majesty of a lion and that of a lioness. The lion loves to laze while his counterpart is always on the alert… sharp golden eyes glittering in the dark, on the lookout for a prey.

Now liken this description with a Leo woman. She is charming, graceful and very often good looking. And the hunter spirit? Although outwardly composed, the innate aggression lurks very near the surface. The Leo woman can match the ferociousness of any lioness with her passion.

An odd mix of pride and friendliness, loyalty and coyness and passion and compassion, the Leo girl is the one craving for spotlight. Known to making ‘bang-on’ appearances, the lioness in a human garb is hard to miss.

 

 

How to identify a Leo woman in a crowd?

With Leo women, the aggressive and passive categories are in 80 to 20 ratio. But both types are extremely assertive and love having their way with things. While dealing with someone they would give in or be submissive only if they are deeply in love with that person or have great respect for him.

It is not difficult to spot a Leo woman in a crowd. Apart from her facial features a Leo woman will possess unmatched style and panache. You are also likely to see her talking endlessly, mostly about herself. While in a group of people, she will be the principal talker and the conversation will usually revolve around herself.

What are the general traits of her personality?

A Leo woman is materialistic hence she will not be satisfied with ordinary living. She will of course make do if situation demands but her eyes will be set on a glitzy lifestyle.

While describing her behaviour in a crowd, I have mentioned that she likes to talk and is also an attention seeker. But I would like to add here that she is not a senseless talker and definitely not a chatterbox. In spite of being outspoken and straightforward (read blunt), unless she is very comfortable with people around her, a Leo girl can be quite reserved.

I have observed that her reserve arises from firstly her ego and secondly her need to be at ease and in command of the situation and people at hand. Her ego often stops her from breaking the ice, while she can also be reticent to open up until she has reached a stage of compatibility with people around her.

Don’t let her initial reticence fool you. This lady is anything but shy. She is only sizing up the situation and waiting to get into the comfort zone to open up.

I think I have harped enough about a Leo female’s desire for materialistic pleasures. Let me add here that to her every material comfort comes with a grandeur tag. Remember the lioness! Everything that she does… from clothes to home décor is done on a majestic scale. If you ask me she scores a ten on ten for getting the grand effect and if her bank balance permits her opulence would know no bounds.

 

What is her approach towards life?

Here is one lady who is emotional and sentimental and ergo sensitive too… and given all this knows the shortcomings of her nature. Dreamy and idealistic, Leo girls are not very realistic. Being emotional they are not very practical either. But they sure know how to lead and have an innate talent of forging ahead and making way for others to follow.

How to effectively deal with a Leo woman?

What she looks for in her man is a ‘gentleman’. A Leo woman lays great stress on social etiquettes, graceful manners and a caring attitude. Naturally she wants her man to have all these attributes. Further, she also wants someone who is aggressive enough to dominate her… although not overtly. To effectively deal with a Leo woman, one needs to have a good idea of social decorum, an outspoken and honest nature and the right dose of flattery. Flattery, my dear friends, is the key to this lady’s heart!

One of the most distinguishing characteristic that Leo women possess and one which helps others to tackle her sensibly is a certain amount of humility that she has in her. Due to this she is able to understand and accept healthy criticism. This is also because she is able to distinguish between a well-wisher and a casual friend.

What are the key features of her personality?

A Leo woman is materialistic hence she will not be satisfied with ordinary living. She will of course make do if the situation demands but her eyes will be set on a glitzy lifestyle.

While describing her behaviour in a crowd, I have mentioned that she likes to talk and is also an attention seeker. But I would like to add here that she is not a senseless talker and definitely not a chin wagger. In spite of being outspoken and straightforward (read blunt), unless she is very comfortable with people around her, a Leo girl can be quite reserved.

I have observed that her reserve arises from firstly her egoand secondly her need to be at ease and in command of the situation and peopleat hand. Her ego often stops her from breaking the ice, while she can also bereticent to open up until she has reached a stage of compatibility with peoplearound her.

While courting her you need to…

Match her standards for starters! She expects gentlemanly behaviour from you so don’t think she will be impressed with your cowboy acts and rugged looks alone.

A Leo woman will come across as polished, stately and gracious and she is all that without doubt. But that doesn’t mean she lacks depth. Her stateliness is not skin deep, it penetrates her mind and thought process as well. She is an intelligent woman and needs a man who understands her.

She is always high on passion and energy (another typical fire sign trait) therefore she needs a ‘cool’ person to balance her. More than dominating she wants her partner who knows how to restrain her.

Compatibility quotient:

How to be compatible with a Leo woman? Be the ringmaster or play into her hands? You got to have the passion to match her fervour and the mental stability to be her anchor. While a relationship with her might start off on a ‘fun’ note, it would take a lot more to make it last in the long term. Let’s see how compatible the Leo girl is with men on the zodiac.

Leo woman and…

Aries man: 6/10. These two can set the house on fire! Both are passionate, fiery and adventurous. While their mutual interests can strike the right cord, too much of similarity can be a hindrance, also since both have an unruly tongue and can be extremly stubborn creating stalemate situations quite often. If she finds a passive Aries man she can dominate or if the passive Leo woman finds the aggressive Aries man, things could work out well. I strongly feel in the long run for fire signs opposites attract and stick.

Taurus man: 7/10. This combination can work wonders only if both are able to tweak their personality traits a bit. He will have to be more understanding of her extrovert nature and she will have to be patient with his dominating attitude. But more often than not Leo women are seen drawn towards taurus men for their charm.

Gemini man: 8/10. The Gemini is knowledgeable and good at conversation, which the Leo girl will love while she is beautiful, intelligent and witty… something that he would appreciate. Once he learns to concentrate all his attention on her, rather than other women, this can be a great relationship.

Cancer man: 8/10. The Leo girl can give the Cancerian love, care and loyalty but she would need to understand his hyper-sensitive nature and control her tongue accordingly. As long as the Cancer man knows how to give her the space she needs, this can be a rocking relationship.

Leo man: 6/10. This combination can go either ways. Both will have to understand that there is only one spotlight and at a time it can be turned on only one of them. If one of them learns to take the backseat, this relationship between the lions can work well.

Virgo man: 4/10. What might kick-start well, may not last in the long run. The Virgo man doesn’t have the answer to the Leo girl’s constant need for attention. Moreover, she is not submissive enough to suit his needs.

Libra man: 8/10. Again a wonderful match! There will be romance, dance and much more in this relationship. The Leo girl will appreciate the Libran creativity and consistency, while in return the Libran would shower her with attention and care. As an add on, both are expressive about their emotions… something that would keep both quite satisfied.

Scorpio man: 5/10. Here the passions can go astray. This relationship would require anger management on a large scale. Moreover, she can get frivolous at times and he can leave her dissatisfied with his constrained love. Bossiness and impatience in both can also lead to strife. But the right amount of adjustments could make this work really well.

Sagittarius man: 7/10: Fun loving, cheerful and adventurous is the best way to describe this relationship. The Sagittarian however will have to learn to curb his flirtatiousness otherwise the lioness can get hurt. Romance and chemistry between these two is likely to last in the long run.

Capricorn man: 6/10: If they learn to make their disparity work for them, this can be a good combination. He should get used to her socializing and outgoing nature and she should get along with is sedentary lifestyle. But on the bright side, he would appreciate her determination and will power, while she would love his dependability.

Aquarius man: 6/10: With a few tactful moves this relationship can be made to work wonderfully. The Leo girl will have to make the Aquarian feel committed yet not tied down. On the other hand, he should give her ample of warmth and care. With more understanding this combination can go places and there will never be a dull moment in this relationship.

Pisces man: 7/10: This relationship can work on the basis of ‘opposites attract’. He is bound to his self and lives in his own world, while she is a worldly person and loves to socialize. With true love and diligence, they can make this relationship work and they definitely have romance and passion to help them.

All about Leo Man

Leo man - July 24 - August 23

Introduction

 

 He would roar like a lion…interpret that as a signal to attract attention. He would purr in contention…that’s his way of saying he is satisfied. He would growl with impatience… especially when his ego is hurt. That’s the Leo man for you. He is the most assertive of all zodiac signs and loves to be the centre of attention.

Every time he enters a party scene, it is with much fanfare. He wants people to sit up and take notice, be courteous towards him and generally consider his presence a ‘huge favour’. Two minutes into a conversation with him and you would know how full of ‘ Me  myself and I’ this is your conventional Leo male!  The passive kind is more easy-going, warm and friendly.

He also has an irresistible charm about him, all thanks to his extreme passion. He is romantic in every sense of the term. He won’t shy off from stopping at the traffic signal to buy flowers for his girlfriend or leave work early to catch up with her for a cup of coffee. All these romantic interludes however come at a price. Once you know how to deal with his impatience, you will have a rather mellow Leo at your side. With good amount of love and trust, you can have the lion eating out of your hand!

 

How to identify a Leo man in a crowd?

Here I am in a fix… identifying a Leo man in a crowd is pretty easy, but explaining how that is done is kind of difficult. I will tell you why. Based on my observations I have inferred that amongst Leo men 60% are the aggressive type and 40% are passive. However it is not as simple as that. The passive kind of Leo men also possesses a belligerent streak, which is very well in control. So, in appearance and behaviour the passive Leo male will appear as composed and behaviour as they come.

The aggressive Leo will also appear outwardly calm and composed and it is only after you interact with him that his ego centric nature and assertive manners come to fore. This is the chief difference between these two kinds of Leo men.

What are the finer characteristics of a Leo man?

True to the majestic animal in its symbol, men of this Zodiac sign like luxury and grandeur. More often than not, Leo men are not able to differentiate between wishful thinking and dreaming big. This stems from lack of pragmatism in their thinking. They want everything to be larger than life… whether it suits them or no.

Another interesting quality I have noticed in Leo men is that they are like children through most of their lives. I say this because they want to have everything they see. No matter what age, experience or maturity he has, a Leo male will keep yearning for material things… just like a 5 year old yearning for his first bike. His list of desires just keeps growing with age.

Even within the 40% passive Leo men, 15% possess this characteristic. Anything with a luxury tag or any brand spelling grandeur usually catches his eye. I have known some Leo men who are determined to achieve success only in order to fulfill their desire list.

Another peculiar trait and one that often works to his disadvantage is a Leo man’s love for flattery. I have observed that the right amount of flattery is the easiest way to a Leo man’s heart. It is usually nothing but an ego boost to him but as soon as he hears a compliment or sweet talk about himself his brain sends a message saying this person is likeable. It is also very easy to stir up a Leo male emotionally. He can get easily influenced by genuine and not so genuine stories and is capable of acting upon them without any verification.

Diplomacy is a skill most passive Leo men and very few aggressive ones possess. While they are known to be blunt, curt and straight forward in their speech, some of them can be quite hypocritical. Although they don’t believe in mincing words, they can play it up to anyone to get their work done. Compromising on values to suit their needs is not an unknown tact for Leo men.

In spite of these limitations, a Leo man is a man of honor. When he makes a promise he abides by his word as he believes it’s a matter of prestige to do so. Very rarely will a Leo male not keep his word, especially if it is a promise made to his loved ones. However, he has not such compunctions in business deals. While is not exactly a shady character, it is better to double check on his assurances before you sign the dotted line.

What exceptional qualities does a Leo man possess?

I have found that there is something of an actor in a Leo male. Whether he is in his boyhood or beyond sixty, the child in him forever makes him take up play acting. On the surface, he can play the mimic to a hilt. And deeper still he can don masks to get things done his way. Like I had mentioned before, he takes up the role of a gallant to prove his chivalry, which may be just a façade to mislead people around him. I am not implying he is not genuine, but he also has the capacity to ‘act’ in order to fulfill his hidden agenda.

Here is a man who understands the meaning of power like no other. Power means everything to him. He is very conscious of the importance of power play in his life… be it in terms of monetary, physical, psychological, social or political. Akin to his Aries counterpart, a Leo man has a strong dictatorship quality. While this makes him an excellent leader, it also makes him stress on power more than ever.

Akin to his Aries counterpart, a Leo man has a strong dictatorship quality. While this makes him an excellent leader, it also makes him stress on power more than ever.

How should one deal effectively with a Leo man?

My answer to this question would be—with caution. Never let a Leo male take you for granted. Because once you do that he will walk all over you…with his patent leather shoes with thick soles. The crux of this whole dealing business is…no matter how much you do for a Leo man, he will remain unappreciative of your contributions and will keep expecting more from you. It is therefore important that you define your role and draw a line in the early stages of interaction with a Leo male.

What is his approach to life?

A Leo male is a far cry from being realistic and practical. He is largely governed by his emotions and sentiments. Moreover, he is hyper sensitive. The slightest of emotional drama can send him in the throes of agony. To add to this, he is also idealistic and a dreamer.

Most Leo men would prefer to lead, as they possess natural leadership qualities. But if provided with the right kind of inspiration and motivation, they will not hesitate in following people they idealize.

How is a Leo man in love?

Very very romantic and very very passionate! A Leo man loves the very concept of love. Also he enjoys the attention and pampering that is associated with being in love.

With the kind of romance that he believes in, it is easy to get a Leo man fall in love. Moonlight walks, candle lit dinners, romantic movies and sweet nothings over long telephonic conversations can do the trick. When in love, he needs constant assurances from his lady love… and will not hesitate to give the same in return.

Compatibility quotient:

He roars when he is angry and purrs when content… he is the Leo man. And do you need to be the lioness to get along with him? Not necessarily, but there are certain ‘must haves’ that a woman requires to be able to etch out a long term relationship with him. Let’s find out what these prerequisites are and who amongst the zodiac is better able to fulfill them.

Leo man and…

Aries woman: 8/10. Very near being the perfect match, the Arian woman can get along very well with the Leo man. His romantic nature and charismatic personality will floor the Arian, while the Leo guy will find her liveliness and independent streak quite appealing.

Taurus woman: 7/10. Both will have to put in efforts to make this work. The Leo guy will have to be considerate towards the Taurean’s simple love, while she will have to handle his ego with diplomacy.

Gemini woman: 8/10. This relationship can be quite a sizzling affair. Both are equally romantic and sensual to make their relation full of passion. And then there are traits like generosity, good humour and adventurous spirit that would add further zing to this combination.

Cancer woman: 9/10. The Cancer woman is capable of giving the Leo man what he needs the most – attention. Her undivided attention and motherly affection would do a world of good to the Leo’s sensibility. In return he would provide her with security and loyalty.

Leo woman: 6/10. This relationship can swing either ways. Either they would end up loving each other fiercely or hating each other ferociously. If this combination has to work in the long term, one of them will have to learn to take a back seat. Both of them are incapable of sharing a spotlight and their attention-seeking nature might be too much of a hindrance for this relationship to work.

Virgo woman: 6/10. Lots of compromises go in to make this combination work. The Virgo woman is a homely person who keeps everything neat and tidy. But the Leo man is slow in giving appreciation. She is also overly criticizing, which is not a good sign for the compliment-craving Lion.

Libra woman: 9/10. A perfect match! The typical Libran indecisiveness will go down well with the assertive Leo. Moreover, both have similar tastes as both love to socialize, are adventurous, romantic and passionate.

Scorpio woman: 5/10. Not a very good match! Since both are assertive, there would be too much of assertion in this relationship. While he is more inclined towards sensuality in a relationship, she needs intensity. Moreover, she would hate his constant need to be in the limelight and disregard all his public display of affection as fake.

Sagittarius woman: 7/10: This relationship can work wonderfully after a few adjustments. Both like adventure and are outgoing by nature. But they will have to mutually decide on sharing attention, as well as giving each other enough attention, for their relationship to work in the long run.

Capricorn woman: 6/10: If both are able to understand each other perfectly, this combination will succeed. He will have to be more understanding of her lack of expression while she will have to be more accommodating of his attention-seeking nature.

Aquarius woman: 5/10: Too much of hard work will be required to make this one work. The Aquarian woman will have to concentrate her energies more on the Leo guy rather than the outside world. And the Leo will have to learn to think more about his Aquarian partner than himself.

Pisces woman: 8/10: The Piscean woman can be the feminine alter ego of the Leo man. She can give him stability and emotional understanding as well as offer him the leadership role on a platter. However, he would have to keep his bluntness under control to get along with the sensitive Piscean.

All about Cancer Woman

Cancer woman - 22 June - 23 July

Introduction

 

I would like to introduce the Cancerian woman with 5 C’s : Crazy, creative, calculative, compassionate and confused. The Cancer woman displays signs of sudden mood swings. She can be happy as a lark one minute and down in the dumps the next… and each mood would be as genuine as the next governed largely by impulsive crazy or in an extreme case depressing thoughts. The Cancer girl nevertheless has soulful laughter and a good sense of humour. But her sensitivity is the hallmark of her personality traits…

There is a crab-like trait in her too. Innately shy and reserved, a Cancer woman would rarely make the first move… in love, business or any walk of life.  She needs an understanding partner to draw her out and help her emote well.

Even the most career oriented woman has her heart at home. A complete ‘home’ person, cooking and keeping her house in order constitute her favourite activities. She is a warm and affectionate person and likes to pamper her loved ones. You can trust her to bundle you off to bed with a hot chocolate on a cold night.

Extremely careful with her money, the Cancer girl likes nothing more than a fat bank balance and a protective man in her life. She has a thing for security, be it emotional or financial, which is a kind of obsession with her.

How can you identify a Cancer woman in a crowd?

This may sound funny but I have observed a good number of Cancer women to have an almond shaped face. Some of them deep pocket and small eyes. They are usually extroverts by nature. A Cancer woman is warm and friendly and in a crowd she is likely to be the most popular person on the scene.

Most women I have met or observed are extremely particular about their dressing. And coordinating their clothes with accessories like hand bags, belts and shoes is a must for Cancer women.

What are the general traits of her personality?

There are two types of Cancer women: 30% aggressive and 70% passive. The aggressive kind is extremely competitive and loud. She always wants to be on top of everything and can also be overly demanding and ambitious. Completely unpredictable by nature, some are found pursuing careers in the televison or film industry.

Cancer women are extremely blunt and forthright although none of them want to intentionally hurt others but their sharp tongues often end up hurting people’s feelings. The aggressive kind of Cancer women is usually an achiever and will relentlessly pursue what she sets her mind at. She is not shy to use her femininity to her advantage as and when situation demands.

The 70% passive kind of Cancer woman too is unpredictable and very moody. She is essentially a romantic at heart and could go to any end to get what she wants as far as romance is concerned. She is very emotional and sentimental as well as hyper sensitive, being with her can be a tight rope walk.

Is there more to her personality?

The ‘more’ in her personality is actually the ‘less’. What I mean is she has less of the unsightly traits that are prominent in women of other signs. For instance she isn’t bossy or outspoken or fickle or proud. She is your simple girl-next-door that has a thing for sentiments. A homely affectionate person, she yearns for emotional security. Once she gets that in her partner, she would stand by him at all times.

A Cancer woman can be very practical and is usually very graceful in getting her demands fulfilled. She can be patient yet watchful if it is something that she desires/fancies, in a situation of delay, she might let go of it. But if her heart is set on something she will make sure she gets it.

Cancer women can get hyper in any emotional situation, whether difficult or otherwise. They can scream, shout, hit and throw to get their emotions out. Mostly a Cancer woman will go on and on about it in her head, but it is all very subjective and depends on the gravity of the situation.

How is a Cancer woman when in love?

Love can bring the best out of this woman. The amazing feel and sense of pride of true love gets reflected on her face and you would instantly know how deeply she cherishes it. Although in her usual way, she would be reserved about her feelings, yet the frequent happy moods that she finds herself in would be instant giveaways.

While in love, she would literally lay her heart out for her lover. Nothing about her is shallow or casual hence she would not only take her love affair very seriously, but also walk the extra mile to make it happening.

A Cancer woman is quite romantic in the conventional sense of the term and once you get used to her hyper sensitivity, your love journey with her would be a pleasant one. She will shower you with gifts and praises, cook your favourite food and take care of you very much like your mother. Her love is for keeps and she will never give you a chance to get suspicious or jealous. Her actions, gestures and words will all proclaim her love for you… and mean it too.

While dating her, you should…

…be chivalrous. The Cancer girl is romantic, albeit in a very traditional sense. She would expect her date to be gentlemanly and courteous, if not the actual knight in shining armour.

Like I had mentioned before, you should be careful with your words while dating her as she is hyper sensitive. Her emotional quotient is also rather high, so it is advisable to plunge into a relationship with her only if you are thinking of long term bonding. A short fling or a passing affair is a term unknown to the true Cancerian unless she is looking for it to get over a break up or just looking for fun... A few dates down, you will have to either go ahead or back off. The Cancer girl can get emotionally involved pretty quickly and pulling off after a few dates might be a difficult thing to do.

Take her to a restaurant with excellent food and beautiful ambience. Nothing will evoke the romantic in her as music, milieu and cuisine. Draw her out of her shell and let her talk. Once she is in the comfort zone with you, she will fill your heart with warmth and the room with her tinkling laughter. She can talk eloquently when she chooses too, so give her space and time to open up and you will be spending your date with the most wonderful companion.

How is she on the following aspects?

 

Appearance: Women of this zodiac sign usually have an oval (almond shape) face, with a pleasant smile adorning it. They are naturally drawn into keeping themselves well groomed

They are usually obsessed with their appearance and would indulge in splurging on clothes, shoes and other accessories to get that‘perfect’ look.  

 

 

Ambition: Most Cancer women are ambitious. They yearn to be independent but are yet not shy to be dependent. By which I mean she could be comfortable being a home maker given the right kind of respect and sense of independence and control at home. In short, she has to be in charge of everything.

Ego/Self-respect: Quick to react to people and situations, the Cancer woman scores high on ego and self-respect. Though she won’t pick a fight with anyone unless pushed beyond endurance, once riled up, her ego won’t allow her to give in easily. Her typical Cancerian trait of opining with her practical bent of mind doesn’t always go down well with people around her. Yet, she would defend her stand tooth and nail, taking it as an attack on her ego and self-respect.

Although most Cancer women will not accept it, they do have a big ego. A Cancer woman is unable to take any form of criticism and would take shelter under being hypersensitive and would rarely accept she is wrong, even if she is. Since she is vulnerable to criticism and it can blow her lid off…it’s better to avoid it.

Compatibility quotient

Dealing with sensitivity and putting-up with nagging or coming back from work to a warm, glowing home and a dining table full of wonderful aroma…which one’s for you? I know everyone would jump at the latter, but dear reader you will get both sides of the bargain when you date or marry a Cancerian girl. Find out who amongst the zodiac is best suited to the emotionally charged Cancerian.

Cancer woman and…

 

Aries man: 6/10. This relationship can work well if both are able to keep certain personality traits under check. The Aries man will not like being constantly pampered or treated like a child, while the Cancer woman is not capable of standing the blunt and straightforward words of the Arien.

Taurus man: 9/10. This combination can hit the bull’s eye. He has the ability to love and care for her and most importantly give her the security she craves for. On the other hand, she is the perfect mate for him as she can cook well and keep a good house for him…things that are important to the Taurean as well.

Gemini man: 9/10. The Gemini with his usual panache can do wonders to this relationship. He has the vivacity to attract and draw the reclusive Cancer out of her shell, while she has the feminine charm to impress his manly heart. The Cancerian however will have to keep her hypersensitivity under check.

Cancer man: 8/10. The success of this relationship will largely depend on the emotional security that both the crabs have. If one of them is able to take stock of the emotional balance, this bonding can go a long way. Moreover, both will have to keep their mood swings under control.

Leo man: 9/10. This relationship is a perfect blend of loyalty and love. Since the Cancerian will remain committed towards the Leo, he would be more than happy in her company. Moreover she would let him be in charge and load him with motherly care and attention, something the Leo guy won’t be able to resist.

Virgo man: 9/10. Another relationship that can stand the test of time! Both are equally romantic as well as dependable and sincere. Although the Virgo lacks interest on the home front, the Cancerian has enough culinary talent to make him stay back with her at home.

Libra man: 6/10. This combination can swing either way. If both show understanding of each other’s basic needs, this relationship can work out better. The Libran will have to go slow on his intellectual trips while the Cancerian will have to learn to be less emotionally dependant.

Scorpio man: 8/10. She is romantic and he is passionate. He is masculine and she is feminine. And both are almost faithful and sincere. This relationship has the potential of going a long way.

Sagittarius man: 4/10: The Sagittarian outspokenness may not go down too well with the Cancerian sensitivity. After the initial attraction, things might get a bit difficult as he will dislike being tied down and she will object to his flirtatious ways.

Capricorn man: 7/10: A difficult yet not impossible combination! The Cancerian for once will have to make the first move and draw the Capricorn out of his reserve. The Capricorn on the other hand will have to adjust to the excessive emotional demands of the Cancerian.

Aquarius man: 5/10: This is a case of opposites and although opposites attract they are not necessarily compatible. She would interpret his freedom as negligence while he would think her emotional bonding as excessive neediness. It can be a clash between emotion and intellect.

Pisces man: 9.5/10: This combination is near perfect. His imaginative mind is a true match to her feminine heart. He will shower her with love, affection and care and give her the support and security she needs. The Cancerian can make her world revolve around the Piscean—believe in his dreams, be supportive and make him feel ‘he’s the only one’.

Introduction

 

Forgot who said what and when? Or what you may have worn on the first date? Ask your Cancerian partner and he will rattle off all ies in a breath. His memory can be compared to the great tusker and there’s very little that he doesn’t store in the deep recesses of his mind.

With moods that swing like a pendulum, the Cancer guy can dip low and rise high in a matter of minutes. Sensitive to the core, a harsh word or a careless gesture is enough to hurt him.

But he also comes armed with an easy going nature that appeals to all. He has a quirky sense of humour and being with a Cancer guy can be whole lot of fun.

While his love for travel can take him places, he would always want to come back to a warm abode… his ‘den’, an affectionate wife and obedient children. And if his mother is staying with him, he is likely to come home double quick!

How can you identify a Cancer man in a crowd?

This is one of those zodiac signs where it is impossible to make categories of aggressive and passive. There are distinct percentages of introvert and extrovert kinds under the sign of the crab, but the sociability of even the most extroverted Cancer men is within limits.

Most Cancer men I have met have a carefree attitude and an easy going nature. Although outgoing, they have selected friends. This may be because they tend to get picky with their preferences as they mature.

A Cancer man is adventurous and likes to hit the road. His easy going nature makes him adjust to various situations with grace… he can stay at a five star hotel or a two star motel with equal comfort. Don’t be surprised if you see him on a luxury cruise liner one day and on a bag packing spree the next.

What are his general personality traits?

Like I said before, a Cancer man’s outgoing nature is within boundaries. This maybe because the assertive side of his personality is tethered to shyness, insecurity and ego. These qualities often stop him from opening up in front of people, especially strangers. But there is a positive outcome of this too… most not all Cancer men know how to mind their own business.

One of the major highlights of a Cancer male’s personality is his mood swings… err constant mood swings. He is in a perpetual state of transition and can be seen in different avatars in the span of a day. He is much like a baby… sleeping one moment and awake the next, laughing one moment and crying the next. But these mood changes are not personality changes and as his frame of mind returns to normal, he gets back to being his usual self. His moods range from restless to hyper active, stubborn to easy going and ‘gnashing your teeth’ to ‘happy go lucky’. So much so for a Cancer man in a day!

He is also a perfectionist… but not in the general sense of the term. To him being a perfectionist means having everything around him in order. He likes to keep his accessories on display and in perfect array. Anything out of sort can rock his boat!

How does he handle difficult situations like a quarrel?

In a situation like a quarrel from what I have seen, known and heard there is a clear divide on how different kinds of Cancer men behave in different ways. While a certain percentage of them can stay composed and yet get things resolved, some of them can get really aggressive because of their extremely possessive and insecure nature. Due to this when in such a torrential mood, some are even capable of manhandling the woman they love.

Is there something more to his personality?

 

Yes… there are more characteristic features to a Cancer man’s personality but ones that are evident only to a discerning eye.

A Cancer male can be a good mix between being satisfied with what he has and aspiring to have more. Depending on the standard of living and his status he can grow from moderately ambitious to overly ambitious. Although he flaunts a casual attitude, he is usually not satisfied with mediocre living. He aspires for good things in life but is not dependent on them.

A Cancer man craves for security… be it emotional or financial. He is so fond of saving things for tomorrow, it is almost an obsession. There is an underlying fear of being destitute or helpless in every Cancer male, which leads him to think of future as ‘full of tragedy’. He imagines untold miseries upon himself and his loved ones and therefore takes every precaution to provide for the future… and that includes huge savings in the bank and hoarding his refrigerator!

How is he when in love?

Remember your school days, when you were caught napping in class and your teacher asked you to write ‘I won’t sleep in class’ fifty times on the blackboard? Well, being in love with a Cancer guy is akin to this punishment. The difference being here you might have to repeat ‘I love you’ hundred times a day.

I am not kidding you when I say this. The sense of insecurity is so strong amongst Cancer men, which is coupled with a suspicious and possessive nature that it becomes important for them to receive assurances of love. When in love they would expect their partner to be vocal and expressive about her love.

Words like commitment, trust and loyalty mean a lot to a Cancer man. He won’t stand infidelity or dishonesty of any kind. Given his sensitive nature, he is likely to be deeply hurt at the smallest sign of any of these traits in his partner.

Although this may make him sound as very self-centered, I would hasten to add that a Cancer guy in love can be very romantic, caring and attentive. Once he is able to come out of his shell of reserve, he will sport a warm and affectionate heart. He will shower you with gifts and take you to fantastic, yet undiscovered, places to woo your heart.

What is his characteristic weakness?

 

I believe what might be considered by some to be negatives of someone’s personality may be a matter of perception. But there are some traits that are undoubtedly jarring in another wise pleasing personality. And in Cancer men such traits are rather prominent.

Foremost is a Cancer man’s retentive memory. He will remember every minute incident or happening in his life, especially related to his childhood and anecdotes from his experiences will keep cropping up in every conversation. His memory is all the more sharp in keeping a tab on others’ mistakes. He is so engrossed in his ledgers of errors that he often misses out on the goodness of other people…and also the good things life has given him. A Cancer man can forgive (not so readily though!)but he will never forget. This habit can cause unpleasantness around him and discomfort to his loved ones.

Some Cancer males also suffer from some sort of inferiority complex. This makes them narrow minded about their approach towards others. Basically, not all Cancer men  are  not people-centric  and all these inhibitions trouble them a lot while dealing with others. His opinionated nature makes him stick to his guns, I mean his views, with unrelenting obstinacy. He then believes his opinions are gospel truths and should never be questioned.

Compatibility quotient

What do you need to be compatible with a sensitive creature like the Cancer guy? Love without understanding can mean very little for a Cancer man. Given his need to be in a secure relationship, finding the right soulmate can be a tough job for him. Let’s find out who amongst the twelve zodiac ladies can best cope with the candid Cancerian.

Cancer man and…

Aries woman: 7/10. With understanding and a little bit of adjustment, this relationship can go a long way. The Arien will have to understand his mood swings and sedentary nature, while the Cancerian will have to give space to her outgoing nature and independent thinking. Both will have to keep their stubbornness under strict check.

Taurus woman: 9/10. Great chemistry! While both would know how to keep the romance going, their mutual understanding adds to it; she will know how to manage his mood swings patiently, while he will find her femininity appealing.

Gemini woman: 5/10. This combination might result in clashes. The free spirited Gemini would find the Cancerian conservatism irksome. He is too serious and intense to suit her vivacious nature.

Cancer woman: 8/10. There will be no dearth of love and care in this relationship. But both suffer from mood swings and hence the relationship can suffer if the moods are not bright. However, if one of the two Cancerian is emotionally more secure, this relationship can work wonderfully in the long run.

Leo woman: 8/10. Once the Leo female learns to control her blunt tongue, this relationship can rock. She would have to adjust with the Cancerian’s hypersensitive nature. In return, she would get his loyalty, love and ample care.

Virgo woman: 9/10. These two can strike a very good bond. The Virgo girl would know how to draw out the Cancer man from his reserve with her love and affection. He would respect her femininity and protect and provide for her in the most affectionate manner.

Libra woman: 7/10. This relationship won’t work without understanding. His lack of emotional expression might leave her feeling high and dry, while she may find his ideas of scraping and saving too much to digest.

Scorpio woman: 9.5/10. Rocking chemistry here! A Scorpio is a perfect match for the Cancer guy. This would be an emotionally-charged relationship as they would understand each other’s emotional needs perfectly.

Sagittarius woman: 5/10: Lot of hard work will be required to make this relationship work. The Sagittarian would have to curb her ‘out of the house’ behaviour and concentrate more on home-making. He would have to get a bit adventurous and treat her to the thrills of life every now and then. But with the right kind of adjustments, this can work just fine.

Capricorn woman: 6/10: Once they learn to respect each other’s opinions and emotions, this combination can work. However, here the equation is reversed as the Cancer guy would need to teach the Capricorn woman to display her emotions. Although both are emotional, their emotional quotient is quite different and they would need to develop an understanding in this sphere.

Aquarius woman: 4/10: A difficult matter! The Aquarian might not be ready to give the Cancerian 100% of her time and love. She lacks the depth that he is looking for. Similarly, he won’t be able to meet up with her demands of highly intellectual conversations and would be at a loss to appease her questioning mind.

Pisces woman: 9/10: Perfect! The Piscean girl has just the right amount of womanly charm to floor the Cancerian, while he has a warm and affectionate heart to offer to her. Since both are understanding and sensitive, they will appreciate these qualities in each other.
