Especially when a heavy mood swing comes..,
Cancer and emotions and feelings

They have an emotional need to feel needed, wanted, and desired. A Cancer person might create conflicts or stir drama, conflicts, or verbal fights just to make sure they are needed if the other person engages in the drama/fight/conflict.
The positive side of the emotional need to feel needed is that they give their 100% or more at work, or whatever they are doing just to make sure they are needed. Being needed, and feeling irreplicable gives them emotional security.
As the Moon is their ruling planet and it changes every day, and the Moon rules the water not only on earth but in our body, it creates mood swings, and Cancer people are more sensitive to it. Mood swings are also due to the ability to feel everything more in-depth or stronger, pick up the feelings of others, and read the moods of others.
When they are in a bad mood or don’t feel well, make sure you give them water to drink. Or if you are a Cancer Ascendant person, make sure you have enough water intake.
