I'm expecting a Cancer boy soon. Any info. on this sign? I'm a virgo and dad is a scorpio.
Thx!

affection
if their feelings are hurt...try to help resolve the situation
stability
avoid criticism (i know its tough for you virgos! but at least make it constructive)
be tough...but not mean
encourage their silliness and uniqueness
give them downtime to recharge themselves...don't overload them with activities. they like to be at home!

a father as a scorpio is a great match for a cancer child. as a virgo mom, keep your expectations in check. cancer children do things on their own time and in their own way. but they can be very tenacious. and loving! cancer children adore their family.

good luck!

don't push and prod either. leave him alone if he needs alone time for god's sake... this doesn't include discipline, chores, etc, obviously... just don't pry into his feelings if he doesn't want to discuss them.

he will be born with an inheriant thought..that he was born to do great things. he will know this from the beginning. enchourage his independance...he will rely on this later in life. also, please build his confidence. he will need to always know he is worthy..do not be afraid to make him ten foot tall and bullet proof. admire his wit...he will often suprise you with it. love him and do not be afraid to show it...it will make all the difference.

Thanks all! That was enlightening. I've heard about the Cancer sensitivity -- this will be a great common ground for his/her dad who is a Scorpio, -- now with me being a Virgo, generally, I have a harder time with "sensitivity" and "emotions"...I'm great at appointments, order, discipline, keeping the house clean, studying and reading...This will be a great adventure.
