 　　黏黏腻腻的巨蟹老公，彷佛有妈妈的味道。在面对事业和财务时，却又显得勇猛无比，冲锋陷阵，不失英雄本色，巨蟹老公似乎比双子座更具有双面个性。

　　Cancer Husband

　　The husband of this group loves his home, but is exacting¹, fussy² and inclined to be critical and faultfinding. The recessive³ Cancer man is so passive, lazy and self-indulgent that he often goes so far as to marry for money or position, in fact for any reason that will bring him ease, established position and domestic comfort. Since this kind of man is persistent⁴ and agreeable when he chooses to be, it is often possible for him to attain⁵ his ambition.

　　Any Cancer husband, whether of one type or another, spends more time in his home than other men. He has a deeply traditional love for the home and family, and has many of the same qualities in his nature that are imputed⁶ to the Cancer woman. The moodiness⁷, changeability, sentimentality and effusiveness⁸ can be understood in a woman‘s nature, but translated to a man, these qualities are not inspiring, especially in large doses, administered domestically.

　　The Cancer husband means to be devoted⁹, and his whole mind is wrapped up in his wife and family, but his disposition¹⁰ is such that these feelings are translated into exacting demands for service and constant interference in the home routine. Nothing satisfies him; he can always find some thing to criticize or complain about, and the most affectionate family feels the burden of this intensely possessive spirit. These men are very sensual and seek constant erotic stimulation¹¹. They are usually faithful enough, if their desires are liaisons¹² is too difficult for the Cancer man. He is rater timid, and abhors¹³ danger. Therefore while his senses might lead him astray, he is unwilling¹⁴ to be involved in complications that require effort to sustain.
