Your Patio Horoscope: The Ideal Outdoor Furniture for Cancers

We only recommend things we love. If you buy something through our site, we might earn a commission.

Cancers are energy sponges. To create a peaceful and quiet outdoor space for socializing, consider a group of Adirondack chairs arranged for both conversation and personal space. Everyone has a place to sit, and a little buffer from their companions. You’ll be happier that way. Trust.

Create a true sanctuary with glowing lanterns, wind-swept plants and some nautical-themed accessories to connect crabs to their sea-and-shore roots. Because Cancers are excellent hosts, it’s good to be prepared for guests all season with some astrologically appropriate table settings.
