She's a total angel, but I am often dismayed when her worrying extends to our relationship. Is setting her heart at ease really just a matter of romancing her at a full moon?

You could talk about the future, Cancers love security. Move in with her, or take a bubble bath together, or introduce her to your family. Buy her some land.

Little gifts are nice too, and perfume.
What is her mercury sign and house?

I have a Cancer moon so I can understand where she's coming from since I tend to worry too about my relationship even when I don't even need to.

I wholeheartedly agree about the security issue. Let her know you care about her when she gets into one of her worrying moments. Don't judge or criticize her about it at ALL though. She might react defensively (a Cancer thing) because she will feel hurt and retreat into her crab-like shell. Just secure her emotionally, let her know you are there for her and care, and romancing definately helps, not just at the full moon time, but whenever. Then she'll relax again.

Wish you luck.

I'm a Cancerian and take Lexapro. It's great for generalized anxiety disorder.

Well, like Kat, it might be good to might sure this isn't that should be treated clinically. I don't think we should medicated everyone, but water suns are very suspectible to anxiety and depression and if this is something she's been living with for most of her life, she may need meds, at least for a while.

But if this is something to do with negative past relationship experiences, then be patience, be kind, and be reassuring. Water signs retain things, and have very good and very vivid emotional memories. When it's the memory of bad things they are clinging to, those memories can stir up a lot of psyche pain and anxiety. A water sun may be the last person you'd want to keep track of your past financial transactions, but they can remember the agony of a failed relationship like it was yesterday. Especially Cancers, who are often said to have the memories of elephant - they never forget.

I have a Pisces moon that never forgets too, and I know how difficult these negative memories can be, and how much anxiety they can cause. The best thing I have found to cope with the bad memories is to acquire good, reassuring memories to ward those bad ones off. If you wish to help your Cancer with this, then you can help her by giving her positive experiences to remember.

The more positive, reassuring experiences she has that she can assocaite specifically with her relationship with you, the easier it is for she to disassociate from those past memories that cause her to worry. This will take time, of course, so it might be good thing to be open with her and let her know why you are doing these things for her. She will no doubt appreciate your empathy. ALso, like Natasha mentioned, Cancer like security and knowing you're sticking around, so it'll give her a reason to believe you're committed to the relationship.

Hey Xisiqomelir
This is a quote from one of my favourite Cancerians, it may give you some insight;

" I worry all the time. That is the hardest thing for me. I am always worrying about everything and everyone. When I am feeling bad I try to talk about it with my girlfriends and loved ones. I always feel much better after I have a good chat with my best girlfriends. Usually I realize that I am not alone and that they too feel how I do sometimes. And I try and just feel sad and cry if I need to. I don’t think it is good to keep things inside when you are feeling horrible. And my husband is very funny and loving so when I'm feeling really bad he will make me laugh and that helps a lot. "

Cancer Moons, Suns, and Ascendants all get worried, I really recommend a good B vitamin supplement in winter, and surround her with lots of colour, since this is deep winter.

Many Cancerians are telling me they are depressed today, it's really blah outside, and I am painting canvases in pinks, oranges, and yellows, for as many as I can.

She has a Leo ascendant, as a Cancer, this would make her worry about herself, her place in society, the way she looks, and how much she pleases others. She worries about what others think, a great deal. She will eventually stop pleasing, and start listening to herself.

I see a few things that make you very secure, your Venus/Moon/Ascendant aspects, are a magnet for a Cancer who likes to feel secure. But she can't be that way all the time, she can't depend on the way she feels with you to last. She has to build up her own self esteem through like minded friends, without being afraid of losing you.

Her Capricorn moon opposite her sun leaves her with a lack of self esteem in the femininity department, her relationship with her father may be off, and she has trouble seeing herself as very sexy. She may be looking for stability in you, and that is why it seems she worries all the time.

She tells you all her fears and worries, thinking you can fix them, which is good for your self esteem because you are used to that. But you can't fix everything, and you will eventually feel you both have different needs in terms of friends which may drive you apart.

Be sure to do things together, and do not let her talk you out of it. She will have to open up to new experiences, and she fights this. Having female friends is a big plus, but mainly she will feel better once she is more extroverted, and you will have to push her in that direction.

If you feel insecure when she is on her own, she will feel it, so encourage her.

BTW I can tell by your chart that you are very secure in your looks, I have seen these aspects before, and you are probably quite attractive. This adds to her insecurity because deep down she does have that innner security, and you will have to make an extra effort to show her your own fears and weaknesses, so she knows you are not perfect underneath.

Luna is on the wane

She went home for winter break and we haven't seen each other in 3 weeks, and I'm still on day 4 of tonsilitis and she's coming back today. I am just a trifle melancholy.

Oh no

She broke up with me, saying that I was too perfect and she wanted to find happiness on her own. I told her I couldn't handle just being friends, but that I'd be instantly back if she changed her mind.

Now I am truly depressed.

Why not try and be her friend even if it's not true all the time? Men have such a hard time being a woman's friend it's sad, you and her may not have a chance now but if she can see you as her friend, that could change someday.

Don't be sad because when she says you are perfect she means she is looking to feel complete and happy and she doesn't want to hurt you. That means she cares in an imperfect way. Maybe she needs to take care of you once in a while. Women can be maternal, and need to be needed once in a while, if things are too perfect, she is saying you don't NEED her.

Update:

So I was sitting at home, and then my Cancer's best friend (a French Aries hahaha) tells me that Cancer's been in my anthropology class (I wasn't aware) and she was sitting and watching me from the back. So I thought to myself (yay for Aquarius ascendants) and I realised that that was a ridiculous situation, and I IMed Cancer and told her to come sit next to me if she wanted to.

She asked if I was angry at her and told me she thought I never wanted to see her again, and I set her at ease on both counts. Then she sat next to me in the front row (which is unbelievable for a girl as shy as she is) next lecture, and now we'll carry on sitting next to each other and talking from time to time.

I still want her very badly, but for now I think my plan is just to be irresistible and see how it goes.

Much thanks for all your good wishes! They definitely make me feel better.
