No matter what gender you are, if you're a Cancer, chances are others see you like a mother figure. If they have a problem and need help, they know you'll lend a sympathetic ear and help them sort out any issues.
If you need some nurturing of your own, turning to a Cancer friend or family member will help heal any wounds.
Sometimes, your biggest challenge may lie in drawing boundaries with others so you can lend some of this wonderful healing energy you provide to yourself. It's OK to be selfish every once in a while. You've earned it!
