8 Celebratory Texts to Send Cancer Zodiac Signs for Their Birthday
We're so close to the official start of summer—which also means that the Cancer zodiac season will be here before we know it. Every year, this marks a period of freedom, introspective and, of course, Cancer birthdays.
This season lasts from June 21 to July 22, and we firmly believe that if you've been let into the inner circle of any Cancer, you're one of the lucky ones. These sensitive and emotional signs often keep people at a distance, only letting in the ones they trust with their lives, and giving them their full loyalty and respect. Your Cancer loved ones deserve the best for their special days, which is why we've crafted special birthday messages just for them. Check out eight of our top suggestions below.
'Wishing the happiest of birthdays to my eternal friend, protector and confidant.'
Once you've become best friends with a Cancer, there's a good chance they'll be by your side for life. When they've stuck by you through thick and thin, take a moment on their birthday to let them know you plan to do the same for them, and just how much you value their kindness, trust and the fact that they're always looking out for you. Make them aware just how special they are!
'You may pretend to have a tough outer shell, but deep down, you're the biggest softie I know. You deserve ALL the best things on your big day!'
It's a special thing indeed to win the trust and friendship of a Cancer. When they're first getting to know people, they can be a little cold or distant, and finally getting close to one and getting to see the real them can make you feel like you're part of some exclusive club. You get to be friends with a version of this person that most others never get to see—both the good and the bad—and you know how sensitive they are deep down. They're bound to appreciate how much you value that aspect of your relationship.

'P.S., I'm throwing you a secret second birthday party with just the VIPs. We're going to make it count.'
Cancers can be complicated creatures. Often, their birthday parties will be big and lavish, inviting anyone and everyone they can, when they'd actually prefer to cut the guest list in half if that didn't mean hurting people's feelings or making them feel excluded. Cancers can put others' needs ahead of their own—even on their birthday—and get burned out by their own birthday parties. Seeing this happen in real time? Come to their rescue by hosting a smaller, more intimate party with just the people they trust most to help them recharge and truly enjoy their birthday season.

'After all the sacrifices you've made for everyone else this year, it's time for us to treat you and let you know how much you mean to us. Happy birthday!'
Often, Cancers give and give and give, and never ask for anything in return. That's hardly fair, but their birthday really is a great time to return the favor and let them know how much their constant sacrifices mean to you. They deserve to be pampered, whether that means gifting them a spa day or a massage, taking them out to a delicious dinner or just taking over for some errands and responsibility while they take the day off and kick back.
'Can you read my mind? Because I wanted to tell you you're about to have the best birthday ever.'
As a water sign, Cancer's intuition rarely steers them wrong. In fact, at times it seems that their empathy and ability to room the room can make them seem practically psychic. If the Cancer in your life is always able to tell precisely what you're thinking and feeling, that's a gift to be cherished. For their birthday, don't make them read your mind and tell them precisely what you're thinking—that you cherish them and are striving to make this birthday one to remember.

'For your birthday, your wish is my command. Just say the word and we'll make it happen!'
While a sense of duty ensures that Cancer takes care of others and makes sure that people are looked after and happy, most of the time, they wish they could just curl up on the couch at home and do nothing at all. They're homebodies and hermits—hence their crab zodiac symbol—and you'll be making their dream come true by simply doting on them for a day. They might be a little hesitant to make any demands, at first, but once you get them to open up, they'll be happy to rest and relax a little while you do the heavy lifting (and maybe bring them a tasty meal or treat).

'Wishing you all the coziness, peace and quiet you so desperately deserve on this special day.'
Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for Cancers to be overwhelmed. Not only do they tend to take on too much, often struggling to say "no" to new commitments, but they're also sensitive and prone to overstimulation when they're extra busy and thrown into noisy, bright and crowded environments. Hopefully, the Cancer in your life gets the chance to take a day off and fully unplug in a quiet, comfy and relaxing space for their special day. Let them know they deserve all the peace in the world (and maybe gift them something that can enhance that sense of calm even further).
'Happy birthday to my favorite Cancer! May you follow your intuition and make all off your biggest birthday dreams come true.'
Some Cancers seem to have it all figured out. You have to respect just how well they understand themselves and the fact that they've made all of the right choices to get to where they are today. They follow their guts, even when it might not be fully logical, but that almost always puts them on the right path. For the one that's got it all, a birthday message recognizing this power, confidence and success is sure to put a smile on their face. They'll love feeling seen, and well wishes to solidify their goals even further in the future.
