    Caring Cancer prioritizes close friendships over major popularity. Cancer is often known for being the “mom friend” of the zodiac, and often draws people in with their kind, emotional, and nurturing nature. The crab often focuses on a small number of close friendships rather than a large number of casual friendships, which places them lower on the list in terms of “popularity.”
