I just wanted to say that I actually teared up a little bit at how much I resonated with the question sent in from "A Cancer Looking for Love". I have never felt comfortable in the couples culture we live in - I am open to meeting the right person (or people) if it happens and experiencing romance and intimate human connection, but I ultimately LOVE being single and having plenty of alone time and prioritizing time with myself. I just wanted to say that and also ask if it would be possible to send this message along to the question writer, just in case they want to reply or simply know that they are not alone in their thoughts and feelings. Either way, thank you for posting this. I've been having a hard week feeling like something could be wrong with me, but this column changed that.

Hi Cancer! I'm a triple cancer (sun, moon and mercury) and I think what we cancers need to know is that we barely need anything from anyone. We have so much strength and beauty within ourselves that actually I find most people not compatible with us. This is not a bad thing! I think true happiness is being able to be by yourself, enjoy the time you have with yourself, and not feel like we missed out. As cancers, you know that we LOVE staying at home, feeling safe, and all that. We don't like to be pushed out of our comfort zone. Is that bad? Well you and I can argue that haha but I think the older I get, I get less concerned with trying to make others happy, but to stay true to yourself and make myself happy. I truly think that's such a hard thing to do, to not care about what others think and stay true to yourself. Don't let what you THINK you should be define who you WANT to be. Sending you a lot of love and support. You got this <3
