Welcome to the zodiac jackpot!

There's something about Cancer women that make everyone around them feel like they are special and loved. With ladies like Solange Knowles and Aubrey Plaza being born under this sign, it's easy to see why Cancers are so amazing (and gorgeous).
Cancer women bring together a mix of emotional availability, loyalty, and selflessness that is a constant reminder of why we love the sign so much. They are the type of people who put others first in any situation.
Cancer's symbol is the Crab, known for being sensitive and emotional, and is a Cardinal water sign, which means they are the initiatory force for the three water signs and the leader of the water solar season.
Cancer's glyph looks like two 6s placed in a circle, and one depiction of the glyph explains it's supposed to represent the claws of a crab. Cancer is ruled by the moon, making the Cancer female think with her heart instead of her head. As the moon waxes and wanes, and the tides change, so does her attitude.
The moon also connects Cancers with their emotional body and strengthens their intuition, instincts, and habits, giving the Cancer sign of the zodiac a powerful sixth sense. Cancer sun signs are loyal, funny, intuitive, charming, protective, moody, honest, and emotional.
Cancers are deemed to have an emotional personality. All Cancer women look different but will feel the same in nature. They are emotionally intelligent and aware of other people's feelings. Cancer women are also very tender-hearted and are the most supportive close friends.
They are leaders and nurturers, and always go to great lengths to take care of their loved ones 9friends and families). On the downside, Cancer women can have unpredictable mood swings and very paranoid or flighty.
Cancer women can also be very flirty and seductive, and tend to be artistic, romantic, sensitive, and eccentric.
Don't let their soft personality fool you because they can also be very tough. They have a hard shell (the are the Crab, after all), which makes it hard for them to show their true emotions easily.
A Cancer woman is special and truly one-of-a-kind. She makes a wonderful friend, confidante, and partner because of her loving and loyal personality.
Cancer women are physically attracted to a strong, independent, sociable man who knows who he is, and has a gentle heart and kind eyes.
To attract a Cancer woman, you sort of have to let her be in control and be someone that needs them. If you can empathize with a Cancer and offer them empathetic support and unconditional love, they will have a special place in their heart for you.
Cancer women flirt by smiling a lot and using plenty of eye contact. She might seem a little shy at first, but she will warm up to you and start playful conversation with you. She will also laugh at all your jokes if she genuinely finds them funny, and touch you subtly when she gets the chance.
She will always dress the part and look amazing just for you on dates. This is so she will know you appreciate what she looks like, and will attempt to get your number so the two of you can keep in contact.
Here's what makes a Cancer woman attractive and the top five things we love about her.
1. Cancer women are great cooks.
Cancer knows the quickest way to someone's heart is through their stomach. She loves spending time with the people she loves most. What better way to bond with you than by cooking for you?
Not only does having the ability to cook you amazingly yummy dishes make a Cancer attractive, but it means she knows how to take care of herself. Having a Cancer woman in your life who knows how to cook and is independent? You just hit the jackpot.
2. Cancer women are selfless in all aspects of life.
Cancer puts everything into all that she does. If you know a Cancer, then you know that she never gives less than 100 percent effort. Her tenacity gets her very far in life, whether that be at work, in school, or in a relationship.
Once a Cancer sets her eyes on something (or someone) she wants, she doesn't stop until she gets it. Her determination is admirable and the people in her life look up to her as a role model. Cancers teach her friends and family how to be go-getters in life.
3. Cancer women always trust their gut.
Cancer is a very intuitive sign who always goes with her gut. She prides herself in making informed choices in life, whether that be with relationships or personal choices. If something doesn't feel right to a Cancer, there's no way she'll go through with it.
What's even better about Cancer's incredible intuition is that she is always there to steer her best friends in the right direction. You can always trust a Cancer to give you great advice.
4. Cancer women are the kindest and most selfless women.
Cancer loves helping the people in her life, and she's always jumping at the chance to be there for her friends and family, even people she doesn't know that well. If you have a relationship with a Cancer, you know she will always put you first, no matter what.
Cancer's selfless nature makes her attractive on the inside, not just the outside. She can sometimes be a little hard to crack at first, but once you have Cancer on your side, you are set for life.
5. Cancer women have great imaginations.
Cancer is one of the most idealistic signs. She loves to dream and she looks at the world with rose-colored glasses. Cancer can sometimes be a little pessimistic if things don't go as planned, but that never stops her from trying again.
Cancer loves to bring her imagination to the bedroom and with a little persuasion, it's hard to say no to a Cancer. She meshes well with people who are open-minded like her because she'll always want to try new things.
