The Cancer Key to Happiness and Success

You are competitive and hard-working because you take life seriously. You never take "no" for an answer and you don't mind leaving your comfort zone to push people around and get what you want. However, it's this same seriousness that creates your struggle. Your key to happiness and success, Cancer, is to understand how your serious nature propels you in work but can hinder you in dealing with people and succeeding with your long-term goals. Although you don't mind getting into emotional drama with people, and you usually win the battles, you are less effective at winning wars.


You can be brutal, which is your strength, but over time it can breed resentment both from within yourself towards others and vice versa. It can be difficult for you to see the long-term picture when it comes to dealing with people because you are intensely emotional and driven to win. You get wrapped up in each moment and lose focus on the long-term strategies required for success. For you, Cancers, the key to happiness and success lies in keeping your focus on long-term goals and keeping your short-term emotional reactions under control.

You never want to allow a few passionate moments of emotion jeopardize important things like friends, marriage or your career.

Use your serious nature for you own success by using it to control yourself as much as you use to control others. Use your drive to succeed to remain focused on the ultimate goals rather than the little battles along the way. You'll be happier in the long-run if you sift through your emotions before you act upon them. You don't want to allow your emotional reactions to derail your long-term goals.
