Zodiac sign Cancer is emotional and nurturing

As a cancer, you are often misrepresented. Sure you are touchy, moody and overly sensitive but you are also the nurturer and probably the most caring signs of all the zodiac. You are very emotional, emotions guide your life and this can be a good thing but it usually causes you trouble. Your emotions overflow from yourself and on to the people who are close to you. You strive for happiness and security.

Cancer sign is a perfectionist

You are so passionate about the things in your life, you want everything to be perfect. This puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on you. Nothing in life is perfect and accidents happen. You worry too much and you might never stop worrying but if you are at least aware that you worry because you care and need security, this might help ease your emotional troubles. You have to lighten up a little bit and know that somethings are out your control. What is meant to be will be, you cannot completely control your destiny.

Cancer sign is mysterious and secretive

You are an amazing friend but you don’t have many – by your own choice. To the world, people see your shell but to them you are a mystery, no one really knows the real you. Only a few do, the few that you have selected after a rigorous process of observation can get close. You have difficulty trusting people, this is because you know that allowing anyone to get close to you will eventually cause you pain and suffering, and you need to avoid pain at all costs because you feel it too intensely and you suffer immensely. You are easily hurt by someone’s comment, even if they were joking you take it seriously. If someone harms you, they are on your hit list and you will never forgive them easily. On the other hand, anyone who goes out of their way to do something for you, you remember forever and will repay that person.

Cancer sign is caring

You care so deeply that other’s pain is your pain, their bliss is your bliss. You experience feelings and emotions just as intensely as the other person and they probably do not know this. If they disregard you, you are easily hurt but if they really knew how you felt, they might react differently and sympathize with you for sympathizing with them. This might sound confusing but the lesson here is to reveal your feelings and be straight the other person. Tell them how you feel and what you think because if you don’t, people cannot read your mind and they will never know. Unfortunately, it is hard to open up because as a Cancer, you are a crab in your shell and revealing your true feelings is like exposing your delicate underbelly, you fear getting hurt. No one realizes just how over sensitive you are (unless they are reading this right now)!

Cancer sign is protective

Just like the crab in it’s shell, you will usually attempt to retreat but if you cant, you will strike with your claws and defend yourself. This means that you can be downright nasty if you or someone you love suffers injustice. You are a powerful force to be reckoned with when you are needed. You will defend your turf, an you are quite territorial and possessive. Any one or anything that becomes your ‘property’ will be yours for life, you will defend it forever, nurture it and wrap it under your soft and cozy security blanket.

Cancer sign wears rose colored glasses

If you are faced with a dire situation and your defense efforts are hopeless, or even if it is something you don’t really care about, you will step aside and avoid it. You might find that you have a list of things to be done that have not yet been done, these are just things that you don’t really care about. Then you procrastinate and hide in the corner hoping it will go away. Unfortunately, you have to take off your rose colored glasses and deal with things you don’t want to deal with.

Cancer sign is assertive and sucessful

The biggest lesson for you to learn in life is that you can do anything you put your mind to. Lose the shaky self confidence and get to work on that project that you are unsure about. You have the drive needed to see things though until completion, the assertiveness required to motivate people to be on your side and help you, the adaptability to confront any situation, you have the intelligence to know where to put your money and don’t forget that cancer is the most intuitive sign, trust you gut instinct because it won’t steer you in the wrong direction. Security is very important to you and this includes financial security and your intuition will never steer you away from your security blanket. Cancer can be wildy successful in business, you just have to take the first step and make your move.

Cancer Friendship Profile The Crab is likely to send you frequent invitations to dinner. Of course, they enjoy your company, but they love it when you come over and complement them on their house, decorations and excellent cooking skills. They make loyal friends, so long as you do nothing to betray their trust. If you can handle a super emotional pal who is likely to call you up and cry into the phone for no reason, you will have a devoted buddy who is just as likely to arm themselves with a box of tissues and come to your aid when you’re feeling blue. Though the Crab would usually rather sit around the house tending the garden and organizing their bits of nostalgia, they will still occasionally be in the mood to go out for dinner and a movie. As a friend of a Cancer, you’ll never need to worry about recording important events. Your favorite Crab will always be there with a camera. As your friendship grows, your Cancer buddy will likely invite you to family dinners as a matter of course. A Cancer who is hurt hurts deeply and for a long time, though, so take care with the fragile emotions of your friend. Best Friend Bets: Taurus, Virgo

 

Friendship Compatibility

 

Cancer and Aries When Aries and Cancer form a friendship, it’s a case of opposites drawing toward each other. Aries is rash and brash, while Cancer is sensitive. Aries may overwhelm Cancer with a flurry of emotion. Even though Cancer usually likes to take time with business commitments, Aries’ whirlwind approach can be stimulating. Aries, on the other hand, may find the Cancerian sensitivity appealing; it’s a good balance for the typical Aries bluntness. At times, though, troubles may arise if Cancer’s mood swings or Aries’ aggression become overwhelming. Both Signs must take time to listen to their friend’s thoughts and understand they’re coming from different directions.

 

Cancer is the Sign of home and hearth, while Aries is a soldier meeting every challenge head-on. Aries is very protective of Cancer and takes care of them. In return, Cancer provides Aries with a happy, hospitable environment and emotional security. Sometimes Cancer might build an idealized image of their Aries friend and can become overbearing. Aries can help by reassuring their Cancer confidante that they are needed. Additionally, Aries needs to listen to Cancer: The Crab is strongly instinctive, and their advice can help Aries avoid making silly mistakes and rash decisions caused by a lack of planning.

 

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars, and Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Aries has an open, passionate nature that appeals to Cancerians, who often internalize emotions and feelings. Cancer can have intense, feminine energy, and Aries can help them learn to release this energy. The Moon controls tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life; Cancer works behind the scenes while Aries rushes into battle. Cancer tends to be sentimental and can teach Aries to slow down and appreciate the finer points of life instead of rushing on to the next thing.

 

Aries is a Fire Sign, and Cancer is a Water Sign. These two elements can be a great combination if they combine their energies, using physical action to get things done. Cancer can help Aries slow down and learn to be gentle, while Aries teaches Cancer to come out of their shell. Cancer can be emotionally manipulative, too much Water dampening Aries’ enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire can cause Water to evaporate and leave Cancer stressed-out. Aries and Cancer must talk openly and freely to ensure their balance is maintained.

 

Aries and Cancer are both Cardinal Signs. Both friends are initiators, but they have to cooperate in order for their initiative to amount to anything. On the surface, Aries is the leader, rushing out to meet a challenge, but Cancer will also be indirectly in charge of things through emotional control and the ability to weigh the situation. Cancer tends to compromise more easily, while Aries can be unyielding, so the Crab may have to accept giving in.

 

The best aspect of the Aries-Cancer friendship is that — once they realize they’re on the same side — the combination of Fire and Water works well together. Aries is out there getting attention, and Cancer is quietly supporting the back end. Each friend balances the other out, providing what each lacks, making this an equal friendship. Cancer and Taurus When Taurus and Cancer form a friendship, it’s generally a good combination. They are two positions apart within the Zodiac, and such Signs tend to have karmic ties and a good understanding of each other. These friends have a lot in common and both crave security: Taurus in a more material sense and Cancer in an emotional sense. They can nurture one another.

 

The Taurus-Cancer friendship tends to be a happy one because they both enjoy the feelings of security and comfort. They enjoy a solid base, strong friendships, nice possessions, good food: all the comforts of a good, stable life. Their family lives are often idyllic, the kind that others strive for. They have strong ties between them and an friendship that is oriented toward a family dynamic rather than an exclusive, clique-ish aesthetic. Their only major problems arise when Taurus insists on getting their way, which can cause Cancer to sulk and pout in the corner. Taurus needs to understand Cancer’s emotional sensitivity, and Cancer needs to be more open about their requirments instead of relying on passive aggressiveness.

 

Taurus is ruled by Venus, and Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Both of these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Taurus has an open, honest nature that appeals to Cancer, who often keeps emotions and feelings inside. Cancer can possess intense feminine energy, and Taurus can help them learn to channel this energy into the ventures that could really pay off. The Moon controls tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life; so it goes that Cancer manipulates the setting while Taurus works more conspicuously on their plans. Cancer tends to be sentimental, and both tend to hang out together rather than socializing with groups of friends.

 

Taurus is an Earth Sign, and Cancer is a Water Sign. They form a compatible union, as both Water and Earth are tangible, physical entities. Cancer, as a Water Sign, is born to nurture and can assist an Earthy Taurus the way rain sustains the Earth. In turn, Taurus may have a more stable view of life, less prone to the emotional turmoil of Cancer. Taurus can help Cancer stabilize their tumultuous feelings and to learn to take criticism less personally. Too much of a good thing can turn to mud if these friends aren’t careful. Taurus may tire of Cancer’s mood swings, and Cancer may in turn feel that Taurus is insensitive. They need to learn the art of compromise.

 

Taurus is a Fixed Sign, and Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. Taurus has Fixed habits, and they won’t change an opinion once it’s formed. This can provide Cancer with an emotional rock in a sometimes cruel world, as Taurus is entirely dedicated to the friendship. In turn, Cancer can bring new inspiration to the pair and initiate all kinds of plans that Taurus will enjoy taking over later. These Signs will get along well if Cancer can initiate ideas and Taurus can keep them going.

 

The best aspect of the Taurus-Cancer friendship is how solid, steady and reliable they become when together. Both Signs are dependable and nurturing, strongly oriented to cooperation. A mutual love of security makes theirs a warm and ideal friendship.

 

Cancer and Gemini When Gemini and Cancer form a friendship, it may be a rather curious combination. Gemini is intellectual, while Cancer is sensitive and emotional. Gemini may charm Cancer with their quick wit, causing the cautious Crab to come out of its shell quicker than it normally would. Cancer, on the other hand, can teach Gemini how to slow down and appreciate the workings of the world around them. Troubles may arise if Cancer feels unappreciated or ignored by Gemini. Both Signs must understand that, although they come from entirely different directions, it is possible for them to meet happily in the middle and cooperate.

 

Cancer is the Sign of home and hearth, while Gemini is the thinker. Gemini is very protective of Cancer and ends up shielding them from harm. In return, Cancer provides Gemini with a comfortable and somewhat domestic atmosphere. Sometimes Cancer might build an idealized image of their Gemini friend or act overly possessive of them with other friends. Gemini can help by reassuring the Cancer friend that they are valued, loved and appreciated. Additionally, Gemini needs to listen to Cancer: The Crab is strongly instinctive, and their advice can help Gemini to avoid emotional dramas and to remain in situations where they are needed.

 

Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury, and Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Gemini has an open, expressive nature that is welcomed by Cancer, since they often stifle feelings and emotions. Cancer can store up intense, feminine energy, and Gemini can help them learn to release this energy. The Moon controls tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life; and Cancer emanates powerful feelings while Gemini bubbles with ideas. Cancer tends to be intuitive, and can teach Gemini to slow down and appreciate the small joys of life instead of always rushing on to the next exciting thing. Gemini is an Air Sign, and Cancer is a Water Sign. These two elements can be a great combination if they cooperate, using emotional drive and intellect to find fun and to get things done. Cancer can help soften their Gemini friend’s edges, while Gemini teaches Cancer to come out of their shell. Cancer can be emotionally overpowering — too much Water dampening Gemini’s quick wit and enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Air can blow ripples across the Water and leave Cancer tossed and tattered. Gemini and Cancer must talk openly and freely to ensure their balance is maintained.

 

Gemini is a Mutable Sign, and Cancer is a Cardinal Signs. Cancer is an initiator while Gemini is more open to other ideas. On the surface, Gemini is the leader, bravely facing any challenges that come this pair’s way, but Cancer will be indirectly in charge through emotion and the ability to weigh each situation. It’s important for both to be willing to meet halfway. Each must learn to accept giving in at the right time.

 

The best aspect of the Gemini-Cancer friendship is that — once they realize they’re on the same side — they can soar to great heights together. Gemini is thinking ahead, and Cancer is quietly supporting their ideas behind the scenes. Each friend’s ability to provide what the other is lacking makes theirs a fulfilling partnership.

 

Cancer and Cancer When two Cancerians form a friendship, a nurturing relationship ruled by emotions is the result. A Cancer-Cancer friendship forms a deeply devoted pair who will remain loyal to one another’s interest. Both will learn how to best heed and cool the flames of their confidante’s outbursts, and both will feel comfort in their underlying commitment to getting things done. They are nurturing, helpful and sympathetic, that is, when they’re not brooding, emotionally manipulating or self- pitying. If they learn to keep their emotions in check, the friendship will nurture both of them.

 

Cancer’s place is in the home. The moody Crab is not as concerned with the opinions of the world as they are with the condition and activities of the household. With fierceness, Cancer will not hesitate to attack when a loved one or their domestic security is being threatened. These devotional qualities are the Crab’s greatest contribution to their intimate combination: They will fight for each other’s successes. The Crab (often known for being a touch ‘Crabby’) must not give in to their ungrounded emotional flare-ups and ability to injure the other’s feelings. Beware of Cancer’s fine art of emotional manipulation.

 

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and this Sign is most sensitive to the moods that ebb and flow with the Moon’s monthly cycle. Historically, the Moon is thought to be the Great Mother, thus the instigator of Cancer’s great maternal and care-giving nature. Cancer’s instinct and energy geared toward comfort and domesticity provide a cozy environment, perfect for a growing friendship between two Crabs.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign. Their emotional response and instinct is the backbone of their connection. Since Cancer’s emotions are trampled so easily, it is not unusual for them to hide within their Crabby shells. This tendency to draw within one’s self makes Cancer a difficult companion at times, but two Crabs hanging out together should be able to recognize this need for personal space and respect temporary time-outs. Their Element of Water acts as a safe buffer zone separating themselves and their close friends and loved ones from the outside world.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. The Crab is not shy about getting exactly what they want from their friends. The protective, feral beast within is the first emotional element to leap forward under stress or a threat to the pack. However, this emotional call to arms is exactly the kind of toe- trampling that will crush Cancer’s tender feelings. Fierce loyalty binds the Cancer-Cancer friendship, but can also threaten its very existence. These two must constantly try to perceive their emotions from the other’s perspective.

 

The best aspect of the Cancer-Cancer work friendship is their utter devotion to enriching each other’s emotional and home lives, and the strong bond that develops through their shared experiences. Together they will keep themselves safe from the cruel world and nurture a warm, understanding and supportive friendship.

 

Cancer and Leo When Cancer and Leo form a friendship, they are often able to recognize and satisfy each other’s basic needs. Both need devotion and care, but Cancer values stability and a solid emotional balance, while Leo likes compliments and wants to be admired. They are both strongly loyal, often possessive of each other when other friends and acquaintances vye for their time. They are also both committed to a lasting, successful friendship. Each is able to provide what the other needs because their aspirations are so similar.

 

Both partners like comfort and security, often doing things on a grand scale. Cancer and Leo both enjoy a lovely environment and a close-knit crew of friends. Leo tends to be flamboyant, and Cancer will be the less colorful, more sensitive counterpart. Leo is bigger and bolder and vivid, the epitome of splendor and stature. Because both Signs are so determined, these friends really need to work to understand and accept each other.

 

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is about ego and self, and it radiates warmth and light. Leo indeed radiates this kind of energy and enthusiasm. The Moon is about nurturing and emotion. Together the combination of masculine and feminine energy is why they admire and support each other. The Sun represents life, and the Moon represents cultivation; as long as they are careful to understand each other, their combination is a positive one.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Leo is a Fire Sign. Leo wants glory and recognition, while Cancer yearns for security and stability. Both Signs want to be in charge, but in different ways. They may have a number or arguments around this issue. As long as they reassure each other that their relationship is important to both of them, they can usually find a happy medium.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Leo is a Fixed Sign. Leo can be opinionated and inflexible, Cancer being the subtle manipulative force. Cancer can be more persistent when it comes to planning things, while Leo will see it through to completion. The Crab prefers a career calm and stable life. Leo loves to shake things up and embraces the unexpected and the novel. Once Leo and Cancer have committed to their friendship, each of them will follow their natural instincts to devote themselves to its upkeep. If they have differing ideas, they may find themselves on a never- ending emotional roller coaster. Cancer is more quietly controlling than Leo, though, and might — to a degree — manipulate their friend when it seems practical to do so.

 

The best aspect of the Cancer-Leo friendship is their mutual commitment to a sincere connection. Together this duo can support each other in positive and healthy ways. They are seen as a great team by others, and their mutual desire for a secure, caring friendship makes them strive for harmony.

 

Cancer and Virgo When Cancer and Virgo form a friendship, it creates a strong and down-to-earth intimacy and connection that will only grow stronger with time. Both Signs are goal-oriented and disciplined. Cancer and Virgo are sincere and devoted to their goals and to one another. Both have a strong sense of purpose. They admire each other: Virgo respects Cancer’s quiet strength and dedication, while Cancer appreciates Virgo’s adaptability.

 

This is a friendship that may take time to develop, but it will get stronger. The Cancer-Virgo pair is based on common sense and strong principles. These friends can be materialistic, as they both enjoy comfort, but they are willing to work hard for the things they enjoy. Difficulties can arise if Virgo is too critical for Cancer’s easily-bruised feelings; Cancer needs to understand that this is Virgo’s nature and not a personal attack. Virgo might dislike Cancer’s stubborn streak but can learn to be patient and understanding of the Crab’s nature. Additionally, Virgo enjoys indulging Cancer — the Virgo’s commitment to service combines well with Cancer’s love of nurturing, thus pleasing both.

 

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Virgo is ruled by Mercury. Both of these Planets are close to the Sun, so they’re always in the same neighborhood even though they are very different. The Moon is matriarchal; it’s about cultivation and nurturing, both of which are important to Cancer. Mercury is about communication, and it’s androgynous — Virgo will take on the form that it chooses. Virgo has a more intellectual approach, but they are adept at reading other people. Because of this, Virgo can quickly understand and become the devoted and perceptive friend that Cancer needs, and they won’t argue about whether one is being more attentive than the other.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Virgo is an Earth Sign. Earth Signs are about possessions, and the Cancer-Virgo friends usually like to be surrounded by comfortable, well-crafted possessions. The Water Sign relies on emotion and intuition, making Cancer the fueling force behind the friendship in a quiet way. They share aspirations to prosperity and a love of a fancy home life. Additionally, they are a practical pair, and they rarely have problems caused by one partner’s lack of control.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Virgo is a Mutable Sign. While Cancer tends to propose new ideas, Virgo likes to move from one thing to another as the feeling takes them. Because of their ubiquitous nature, it’s easy for Virgo to find a place in Cancer’s plans. Virgo can remember Cancer’s plans and eventually will make them produce something even if Cancer has moved on.

 

The best aspect of the Cancer-Virgo friendship is their dedication to their shared goals and interests. Both enjoy stability and nice things, and Virgo likes helping Cancer achieve their goals. Their mutual interests make theirs a highly compatible friendship.

 

Cancer and Libra When Cancer and Libra form a friendship, they each supply what the other is lacking. Both Signs are looking for security in their close alliances, and they share an appreciation for beauty and luxury. The two can get along well if they share respect and a common goal. This friendship may start slowly, and at first the two may seem to have little in common. The more they get to know each other, however, the better each person will recognize and respect positive qualities in the other.

 

Cancer and Libra both appreciate emotional and intellectual resources, and they’re both suckers for the sentimental. Emotion and happiness are important to both Signs, and they complement each other in many ways. Cancer appreciates Libra’s charm and diplomacy, and Libra can tame the wild shrew Cancer becomes when they don’t get their way. Libra appreciates the Cancerian love of nurturing and the security that comes with it. Additionally, Libra can help Cancer see the different sides of a situation, rather than making a decision without knowing all the facts. Conversely, Cancer can help cure Libra of their notorious indecision.

 

Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Libra by the Planet Venus. These friends share a love of home, hearth and family. Libra, especially, is about balance, and both share nurturing personalities and a desire for harmony. Together they are able to bring warmth and stability to their friendship like no other pair can. Librans can be snobbish, and Cancer may get their feathers ruffled easily. Cancer is based on emotion, and Libra is based on intellect.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Libra is an Air Sign. Libra approaches life as a pure mental exploration, while Cancer is more kinesthetic in their attitude. Cancer is happiest when their emotional needs are met, while Libra focuses on what things in life interest them from an intellectual standpoint. At times, these two may have a hard time understanding one another. Conflicts can arise if Cancer seems too crabby or Libra lets their charm lead rather than making intelligent, informed choices. Both need to learn that they view the world in different ways.

 

Cancer and Libra are both Cardinal Signs. In this friendship, both will constantly struggle to be at the steering wheel. Libra’s indecision may irritate Cancer. Libra is skilled at seeing all sides of a problem, so they are often able to accept Cancer’s decisions as long as Cancer avoids getting Crabby. Both are initiators, which can, at times, be a struggle when their ideas and approach differ.

 

The best aspect of the Cancer-Libra friendly connection is their mutual appreciation of stability and balance. Their similar tastes and ambitions makes theirs a friendship of great dedication and harmony.

 

Cancer and Scorpio When Cancer and Scorpio form a friendship, two signs of great depth are brought together. Signs such as these often combine well, each friend’s strengths balancing the other’s weaknesses. These two have a strong affinity for one another, and when their ideas and ambitions meld, the temperature in the room tends to rise! Cancer and Scorpio have a great deal in common that will keep their connection strong.

 

Cancer and Scorpio enjoy spending time together creating a comfortable environment: Cancer wants comfort, and Scorpio wants power. Both of these Signs are about goods and resources, including stocks, bonds and inheritances. They are both passionate and deeply emotionally touched by all aspects of their life. They complement each other because Cancer and Scorpio are both concerned with the home, and both have fierce loyalty to the family group. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto. This combination is very intense, thanks to Pluto’s influence, but it’s a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. These friends coming together form the basic foundation of most relationships — The Moon’s nurturing love and Mars’ passion. The Moon and Mars go well together; the Moon is about growth and rebirth, and Mars is about passion, which can be applied to making a platonic friendship deeper and more substantial. Scorpio is intense, and Cancer is stimulated by this; in turn, Scorpio enjoys the admiration inherent in Moon-ruled Cancer.

 

Cancer and Scorpio are both Water Signs. Both are very deep Signs, and, like the ocean, you can never really see to the bottom. Scorpio and Cancer emotionally draw further and further into themselves, then suddenly roar back with intimidating force. Cancer and Scorpio are strongly loyal to one another, a product of their mutual desire for emotional and familial security. While Cancer is fixated on the family and home, Scorpio is more focused on the motivations below the surface of things. Scorpio can show Cancer beyond the literal surface, while Cancer can teach Scorpio not to fear their emotional instincts. Additionally, Scorpio appreciates the Cancerian practicality, and Cancer enjoys Scorpio’s possessiveness — it proves that Scorpio really needs them and values their friendship.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Scorpio is a Fixed Sign. Once they have a common goal, it will be realized thanks to their concentrated efforts. However, if their opinions clash, look out! Cancer will be the first to instigate an argument and Scorpio the last to finish it. It often appears that Cancer will get their way and be the dominant of the pair, but that isn’t always what happens. Sometimes Scorpio won’t even agree to disagree, although they might pretend to give in. Neither friend is beyond using emotional manipulation to exact revenge. It’s important for these two to discuss what is truly vital to them both so they can reach an equitable compromise. Once Scorpio and Cancer learn to trust one another and believe in each other, they can achieve almost anything through sheer determination. The friendship will only fail if the the two of them truly cannot overcome their opinionated, stubborn sides.

 

The best aspect of the Cancer-Scorpio friendship is their shared emotional intensity and need for security. When Cancer realizes that Scorpio is there for the long haul, and that the friendship is nurturing and healthy, this two can flourish together. Their mutual determination makes theirs a friendship of formidable strength and intensity.

 

Cancer and Sagittarius When Cancer and Sagittarius form a friendship, they both need to give the partnership a little while to warm up. As it does, each friend will find more to offer one another. While Sagittarius is a thrill seeker who enjoys taking a risk to experience an adrenaline rush, Cancer derives much more satisfaction from security. Early on, Cancer may want more of dedicated promise of friendship than Sagittarius is willing to offer. As time goes by, Sagittarius will learn to appreciate the strong emotional support Cancer offers.

 

Cancer and Sagittarius have different approaches to life; Cancer is more emotional and traditional, while Sagittarius is experimental and restless. It can be hard for Sagittarius to accept the emotional tidal wave of Cancer. It might be difficult for Cancer to accept the Sagittarian restlessness and craving for external activities. Cancer can offer Sagittarius a secure base and keep their dreams and ambitions on track. Sagittarius can help Cancer add diversity to their life and to learn to appreciate the excitement that can be derived from boldness.

 

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter. The Moon is about love, nurturing and the maternal instinct. Jupiter focuses on expansion, optimism, luck and travel. Together this combination of growth and expansion, masculine and feminine energy, is why the two admire and can sustain each other as a friends. When sharing a goal or interest, these two can achieve just about anything to which they set their minds.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Sagittarius is a Fire Sign. Sagittarius wants freedom, while Cancer longs for emotional security and stability. Sagittarius actively pursues their ideas, while Cancer is more emotional in their approach to their goals. Although these friends may find it difficult to understand where the other is coming from, their complementary approaches can actually be quite exciting and mutually beneficial. They will not always see things the same way. As long as they both see the value in the friendship, their conflicts can usually be resolved.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Sagittarius is a Mutable Sign. Sagittarius likes to jump from one thing to the next as the feeling takes them, while Cancer is the instigator of new plans. Cancer needs to give Sagittarius the freedom to explore their own space and interests. Cancer can make Sagittarius’ ideas bear fruit, even if Sagittarius has lost interest and moved on. Sagittarius can teach Cancer that broadmindedness is sometimes better than an inflexible determination.

 

The best aspect of the Cancer-Sagittarius friendship is the security they can give each other (once Cancer gives Sagittarius the freedom to offer that security freely). They make wonderful companions once they learn to look at the world through each other’s different philosophies and open themselves up to one another. As long as they communicate and celebrate their differences, theirs will be a stable and happy friendship.

 

Cancer and Capricorn When Cancer and Capricorn form a friendship, it’s an alliance characterized by tenacity and strong willpower. Capricorn is logical and down to earth; Cancer brings an emotional charge to the relationship. Both have high expectation for their friends; those standards are tempered by mutual respect. Cancer appreciates Capricorn’s dedication, and Capricorn admires the tenacity of the Crab. Together, this will be a very successful and secure friendship.

 

This partnership has a strong foundation based on material and emotional security. Both Signs are dependable and conservative. Cancer can help Capricorn to relax a little and appreciate the rewards of their almost constant labor. Cancer will also be the one to polish and preserve the fruits of their shared experiences. Capricorn can help Cancer achieve more of their dreams and goals. A Capricorn friend will also keep a check on their pal’s Crab-like tendencies, enlightening Cancer to the more important matters of life. This friendship succeeds due to their iron-clad commitment to its success and their shared need for security.

 

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. The Moon is a warm, feminine energy, and Saturn a cold, masculine one. The Moon is emotional and nurturing; it is about maternal care-giving and intuition, both of which are important to Cancer. Saturn uses integrity and discipline to achieve goals. Cancer will show Capricorn how to better enjoy life and how to appreciate beauty and comfort. Cancer softens Capricorn’s hard edges, while the Seagoat provides a solid foundation that Cancer sometimes lacks. Capricorn can teach Cancer to be more disciplined and to get out of their shell and into the world to strive toward their dreams.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Capricorn is an Earth Sign. Earth Signs are about possessions, and the Cancer-Capricorn friends usually surround themselves with beautiful things — traditional and efficient homes, gorgeous artwork, expensive cars. Their desire to be economically stable and their love of finery ensures that these two will understand and appreciate how much hard work goes into maintaining their accustomed levels of comfort. Additionally, they are a practical pair, and they rarely have problems caused by one friend behaving too extravagantly or ostentatiously.

 

Cancer and Capricorn are Cardinal Signs. Both are initiatory, active and ardent. Though this can be a catalyst for some dynamite conflicts, it can provide Capricorn with an emotional pillar, as Cancer is entirely dedicated to the friendship. In turn, both come up with new ideas, Capricorn excelling in brass tacks of any plan and Cancer in its more emotional aspects. These Signs will get along well if Capricorn and Cancer each have their niche in the friendship.

 

The best aspect of the Cancer-Capricorn bond is their utter dedication to each other and their mutual commitments to the same goals. Both enjoy luxury and nice things and aren’t afraid of a little hard work to get them. Their mutual interests, stringent morality and upward spiraling make theirs a highly compatible friendship.

 

Cancer and Aquarius When Cancer and Aquarius form a friendship, it can be a case of a draw between two opposite ends of the spectrum. Cancer has an emotional approach to life. Aquarius has an offbeat, unconventional approach to nearly every situation. While Cancer may retreat into its shell, Aquarius is the gregarious host among the group of friends and excels in business and social situations. If these two can learn to combine their qualities in a positive way, they can go anywhere together.

 

Both Cancer and Aquarius can be ambitious and determined. They like to do things their way and don’t like to encounter resistance. Cancer appreciates tradition and routine and exhibits conservative morals. Aquarius is modern and is numbed by routine, the dull and the boring. Cancer will find Aquarius exciting yet may feel frustrated trying to penetrate this revolutionary’s mind. Aquarius will not appreciate the possessiveness of a pinching Crab but will find the solid base that Cancer can provide to be a great support. They just probably won’t want to admit it!

 

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Aquarius is ruled by Saturn and Uranus. The Moon is a radiant, feminine energy and Saturn is a cool, contained masculine energy. Uranus is about all things abnormal and novel. The Moon is emotional, concerned with growth and domesticity, both of which are important to Cancer. Saturn is about hard work and discipline to achieve goals while Uranus symbolizes forward thought. Cancer will teach Aquarius about making decisions based on emotional impulses. Aquarius can teach Cancer to be more detached, to extricate themselves from uncontrollable situations and to reevaluate goals if they are off course.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Aquarius is an Air Sign. Aquarius moves through life with pure, intellectual exploration, while Cancer is more pragmatic. Cancer asks, ‘how does this feel?’ while Aquarians simply focus on their interests and ask ‘what else?’ These friends may find it difficult to understand the other’s origin of thought. Conflicts can arise in this friendship if Cancer is too demanding or if Aquarius seems too cool and denies Cancer emotional reassurance. Both need to learn that they view the world in different ways, and they should celebrate differences rather than feeling threatened.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Aquarius is a Fixed Sign. Both partners tend to persevere when working toward their goals. If they have a set path, they’ll follow it to the end. Once they have made up their minds that spending time together is worthwhile, they will never be dissuaded from that knowledge. If they have differing ideas, they may find that the Cancer is the more tenacious, more dogmatic partner who is not beyond emotional manipulation. Aquarius may see Cancer as being too feeling-oriented. If they understand they’re working together out of mutual respect and admiration, it’s much easier for them to get along.

 

The best aspect of the Cancer-Aquarius friendship is that when this pair decides to come together they are an indomitable force. Once they can work out their differences, come together and agree on the inner workings of their connection, the dynamics of this friendship can be a good balance.

 

Cancer and Pisces When Cancer and Pisces form a friendship, it’s usually a positive meeting of the minds and spirits. Cancer is a self-starter, and Pisces is easily energized by Cancer’s ideas. Both Signs are basically tolerant and sympathetic. Pisces can teach Cancer to appreciate and instill creativity and spirituality into their choices. In turn, Cancer can help Pisces put their utopian theories into practice. This friendship can enjoy an amazingly strong and multifaceted bond.

 

Cancer admires and appreciates. Cancer is interested in material comforts and a rich home, and at times cannot understand the simplistic, spartan attitude of Pisces. Their goals can be very different when it comes to their life’s aspirations. Once they can understand and overcome this difference, theirs will be a very warm friendship.

 

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Pisces is ruled by Jupiter and Neptune. When the Moon and Neptune come together, an almost spiritual connection can be made. Both of these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Together, they represent an idealistic friendship that borders on the divine. Pisces is also ruled by Jupiter. This adds a masculine energy to the combination and represents philosophy, expansion and excesses. The nature of this planetary combination offers a utopian connection, one that is heavy with emotion. However, Cancer must be careful not to cramp the floating Fish, as Pisces will suffocate under too many demands on their time and attentions.

 

Cancer and Pisces are both Water Signs. Generally they’re very compatible, as Water is a tangible, physical entity, and both appreciate this property. Pisces is born to connect mankind, and when they come together with Cancerian intuition and nurturing, there is no stronger bond. Things they do together could be substantial and beneficial, imbued with a sympathy for the Earth and for humanity. In turn, Cancer has a stable view of life but still understands the emotional ambiguity of Pisces. Cancer can help Pisces stabilize their ephemeral nature. Cancer may grow impatient with Pisces’ instability, and Pisces may in turn feel that Cancer is self-centered and negative. It will be easy for these friends to find a compromise, though, and to move forward when they share a goal.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Pisces is a Mutable Sign. Cancer wants to get things started, while Pisces likes to float from idea to idea as the feeling takes them. Cancer needs to give Pisces some degree of freedom and not get too clingy. Pisces can show Cancer that completion is sometimes better than initiation, and that compromise without struggle can pay off. Cancer and Pisces feed off of each other’s energy well.

 

The best aspect of the meeting of Cancer and Pisces minds is the similar emotional nature the two Signs share. Both have a great capacity as teacher and student, and they complement and harmonize with one another very well. The overall empathy and commitment these two signs value in a all their friendships is what will keep the ties durable between the Crab and Fish.

 

Romantic Sun Sign Profiles

 

Cancer Introduction Home is where the heart is for Cancer, a great nurturer and protector of family, home and tradition. This sign is ruled by the Moon, and the Crab’s emotions often swing with the cycle of that shimmering orb. Catch that mood on an upswing, and you are likely to encounter a caring and devoted soul who can easily take the lead in romance. The strong-willed, persistent Crab will usually get its way, but that’s not a bad thing, since it usually means being drawn into a shell, which is rife with carnal pleasures. As is natural to a Water sign, Cancer’s moods can flow like a meandering river or rage like the highest seas. Either way, the Crab rewards brave sailors with a seductive nest in which to test many moods, feelings and emotions. Scarlett O’Hara, that great protector of Tara, must’ve been a Crab!

 

Cancer in Romance Where the romance dance is concerned, the Crab enjoys being the initiator in the game of love. Gentle, tender probing can soon turn to heightened passion, and few will be able to resist Cancer’s charms, which is just fine. Romance here often involves a beautifully prepared meal, since those born under this sign have an innate feel for the comforts of home and the joys they can bring. This love of physical and emotional well-being, which the Crab must have, is a duty which a partner must help to fulfill. If this isn’t achieved, the Crab might retreat into its pesky shell. When Cancerians are in full flower, they can make their lover feel like the center of the universe, and might feel the same way themselves.

 

Cancer in Relationship Call it a sixth sense, good gut or intuition, but whatever the name, the Crab has it. Members of this sign have an excellent instinct for which partner will serve them well and, once they hone in, it’s a laser beam shot. Cancer’s charm and magnetism are qualities which will prove most alluring to a lover and, coupled with their nurturing need, will prove hard to resist. The Crab loves to feel secure, so a lover who remembers birthdays and other special days, or simply pops a bottle of champagne for no special reason, will be rewarded with tenderness and affection. If the Crab tests a lover with occasional bouts of jealousy, it’s only because a stronger emotional response is craved. The ideal Cancer soul mate can spoon on the couch and watch TV all night long.

 

Cancer in Love A slow, yet smoldering, courtship is what the Crab loves. What’s the rush, anyway? The Crab is determined to win, so the prelims should go on for as long as possible. Once love is in the air, Cancerians prove themselves devoted lovers, protective of the object of their affections, and unusually helpful and sympathetic. The Crab is an emotional bag of tricks and will feel most things very strongly, so don’t be the one to cross them. That said, Cancer may be the perfect sign for a lover seeking pampering and seduction, someone who is willing to learn a thing or two in the game of love. An honest love — and lover — become Cancer, for it is in this safe environment that they are best able to create a warm home and indulge their nurturing instincts.

 

Cancer and Sex Like the rest of their life, a sexual encounter with Cancer is much like a slow dance, but if you’ve got the right moves, you can take the Crab on a torrid tango. Ole! The emotional firepower that can be aroused within Cancer usually manifests itself as a series of wonderful fantasies and less as sexual acrobatics. Either way, it’s pure pleasure for both partners. The Crab is also quite intuitive and can generally sense what their lover wants, which makes an encounter between the sheets a finely-tuned union. Cancer’s feminine side is often on display in the bedroom, which means the Crab enjoys being made love to. The good news is that the Crab is a very receptive student! With the Crab, sex often equals love and its nurturing aspects (such as home and hearth), so anyone who can appeal to this sign’s deep need for security is likely to unleash a volcanic eruption of sensual treats. Being a Water sign, Cancerians are quite fond of sex on the beach or in the sea.

 

What Cancer Needs What Cancer wants most is a partner who can take things slow and easy, secure in the knowledge that the ultimate victory will be sweet for both. An exchange of emotions is also ideal for the Crab, whether it’s through sex, sports or some passionately-penned correspondence. Cancerians are great one-on-one and love that type of interaction, but they are also good at parties and enjoy dazzling a crowd. Consequently, an understanding lover is key. A partner as intuitive as the Crab will also help to draw them out of their shell and keep them out. In the end, a strong partner who can set the table and be there for the Crab is heaven-sent, and if they know how to retreat when necessary, even better.

 

The nest is the most natural place for the affectionate Crab to be, and if they can share that space with someone special — well, that’s hard to beat. The emotions of this winning sign help to make Cancerians empathetic and caring lovers, the sort of people who glow like the moon and flow like the sea.

 

 love match

 

 

Cancer & aries

 

 

Cancer and Aries When Aries and Cancer come together in a love affair, it’s a case of opposites attracting. Aries is rash and brash while Cancer is sensitive and emotional. Aries can certainly be emotional — in a fiery, impetuous way that can completely overwhelm Cancer. Even though Cancer usually likes to take time with relationships, Aries’s whirlwind approach can be extremely stimulating. Aries, on the other hand, may find the Cancerian sensitivity appealing; it’s a good balance for the typical Aries bluntness. Troubles may arise if Cancer’s mood swings or Aries’s aggression becomes hurtful. Both Signs must take time to listen to their partner’s needs and understand that they’re coming from different directions to meet a common goal.

 

Cancer is the Sign of Home while Aries is the Sign of Self. One great dynamic between these two is that both Signs are extremely protective of those they love. Cancer uses that Crab shell to draw around themselves and their family and mate when trouble is near, while the Ram uses their strength and bravery, like a knight in shining armor. Cancer also provides Aries with a happy domestic life and emotional security. Sometimes they might build an idealized image of their Aries partner or be overly possessive, which can really grate on independent Aries. However, Aries can help by reassuring their Cancer partner that they are loved and cherished. Aries really needs to learn to listen to Cancer: the Crab operates on an instinctive level and their advice can help Aries avoid making silly mistakes caused by that typical Aries lack of planning.

 

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Cancer is ruled by the emotional Moon. Mars was the God of War, and Aries is a soldier meeting every challenge head-on. Aries’s open, passionate nature appeals to Cancer, who often internalizes emotions and feelings. Cancer can have intense, feminine energy and Aries can help them learn to release it. The Moon controls tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life; similarly, Cancer works behind the scenes (while Aries rushes into battle). Cancer tends to be sentimental and can teach Aries to slow down and appreciate life instead of always rushing on to the next thing.

 

Aries is a Fire Sign and Cancer is a Water Sign. These two elements can be a great combination if they work together, using both emotion and action to get things done. Cancer can help Aries slow down and learn to be gentle, while Aries teaches Cancer to come out of their shells. But Cancer can be emotionally manipulative — sometimes there’s just too much Water dampening Aries’s enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire can cause Water to evaporate, leaving Cancer emotionally raw. Aries and Cancer must talk openly and freely to ensure their balance is maintained.

 

Aries and Cancer are both Cardinal Signs. Both Signs are initiators, but they have to learn to cooperate. On the surface, Aries is the leader, always rushing out to meet a challenge, but Cancer is also indirectly in charge through emotional control and the ability to weigh the situation. Cancer tends to compromise more easily while Aries can be unwilling to yield, so the Crab may have to accept giving in. What’s the best aspect of the Aries-Cancer relationship? Once they realize they’re on the same team, the combination of Fire and Water works well together. Aries is out there getting attention and Cancer is quietly supporting the back end. Each partner’s ability to provide what the other is lacking makes theirs an equal relationship.

 

Cancer & TAURUS

 

Cancer and Taurus When Taurus and Cancer come together in a love affair, it’s usually a very good combination. They are two positions apart within the Zodiac, and such Signs tend to share karmic ties and a deep mutual understanding. These particular two Signs have much in common: Both prize security in a love relationship above almost all else; both tend to be nurturers (Cancer is emotionally nurturing while Taurus loves to spoil their lover with sensual delights, gifts and good, rich meals). They’re both quite domestic and love a quiet night spent at home with their sweetie.

 

The Taurus-Cancer partnership tends to be a happy one due to this mutual enjoyment of the security and comfort of home. They love a solid home base, a strong relationship, nice possessions, good food: all the comforts of domestic life. Theirs is often the ideal family that people of other Signs strive for, with strong ties between them and a relationship that is family- oriented rather than toward the outside world. Their only major problems arise when Taurus insists on having its own way and Cancer responds by sulking. Taurus must understand Cancer’s emotional sensitivity, and Cancer needs rely on open, honest communication than on emotional blackmail.

 

Taurus is ruled by Venus (Love) and Cancer is ruled by the Moon (Emotions). Both of these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Cancer often keeps emotions bottled up and simmering inside, which can lead to occasional boil-overs. Thus, Cancer is attracted to Taurus’s open, honest, unafraid nature. As the Moon controls the tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life, so does Cancer, manipulating behind the scenes. Cancer tends to be sentimental, and both partners prefer to enjoy each other rather than socializing with large groups.

 

Taurus is an Earth Sign and Cancer is a Water Sign. Water and Earth are compatible as tangible, physical entities. As a Water Sign, Cancer is born to nurture an Earth Sign like Taurus the way rain nurtures Earth and helps crops grow. In turn, Taurus tends to have a more stable view of life than does Cancer and is less prone to emotional turmoil; therefore, Taurus can help Cancer stabilize their tumultuous feelings. Both Signs must be careful in this relationship, however: Taurus may tire of Cancer’s mood swings, and Cancer may in turn feel that Taurus is insensitive to their needs.

 

Taurus is a Fixed Sign and Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. Taurus has Fixed habits; they won’t change an opinion once it’s formed. This can provide Cancer with an emotional rock, as Taurus is entirely dedicated to the relationship. In turn, Cancer can bring new inspiration to the relationship and start new projects that Taurus will enjoy taking over later.

 

What’s the best aspect of the Taurus-Cancer relationships? The steady, reliable team they make. Both Signs are dependable and nurturing, strongly oriented toward domestic life together. A mutual love of home and security makes theirs an ideal long-term, family relationship.

 

 

Cancer & GEMINI

 

 

Cancer and Gemini When Gemini and Cancer come together in a love affair, it may be a rather curious relationship. Sensitive, emotional Cancer has trouble communicating clearly, but clear communication is what defines Gemini. Gemini’s chivalrous nature and silver tongue may encourage the Crab to come out of its shell more quickly than usual; Cancer, in turn, can teach Gemini to slow down and appreciate the world, which the frenetic Twins hardly ever take time to do. If Gemini seems to ignore Cancer or doesn’t provide them with as much reassurance and intimacy as Cancer needs, trouble may ensue. These two Signs approach the world in such different manners that they must be able to understand and accept one another’s differences.

 

Cancer is the Sign of home and hearth, while Gemini is the thinker. Gemini can easily slip into the role of Cancer’s knight in shining armor; Cancer returns that favor with their characteristic urge to protect the ones they love. Quality of home life is important to Cancer, and Gemini will be spoiled by their Cancer lover’s hearty home cooking, soft bed and other creature comforts. Cancer is strongly intuitive and maintains an almost psychic connection with their loved ones, but can tend toward possessiveness and idealization of their Gemini partner. If Gemini just reassures Cancer that they’re loved and cherished, all will go smoothly. Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury (Communication) and Cancer is ruled by the Moon (Emotions). Cancer tends to keep their emotions bottled up inside as they have trouble expressing themselves. They envy Geminis their gift of open, clear communication afforded by the influence of Mercury. Gemini, in turn, can benefit from Cancer’s intuitive approach, so different from Gemini’s bubbly, surface nature; Cancer can teach Gemini to slow down and appreciate life instead of passing by the good things in their rush to get to the next new thing.

 

Gemini is an Air Sign and Cancer is a Water Sign. If these two Signs can work together they can be a great team; after all, the best decisions are made by incorporating the emotions and the intellect. The trouble for these two lies in learning to cooperate. They come from such opposite points of view that at times it can seem as if they simply have nothing in common. Deep, emotional Cancer can also sometimes dampen Gemini’s airy enthusiasm, and light, fast-paced Gemini can leave Cancer feeling ruffled, even tattered. Balance can be achieved if they learn to talk openly with one another.

 

Gemini is a Mutable Sign and Cancer is a Cardinal Signs. Gemini is flexible, willing to go with the flow and follow another’s lead; Cancer is an initiator and likes to provide that lead. Gemini may try to lead by being brave, even confrontational; for it to run smoothly between these two, they both need to learn when to back down and let the other lead the way.

 

What’s the best aspect of the Gemini-Cancer relationship? Once they realize they’re allies, they can soar to great heights together. Gemini is always thinking ahead and Cancer is quietly supporting these ideas behind the scenes. Each partner’s ability to provide what the other is lacking makes theirs a fulfilling relationship.

 

Cancer & Cancer

 

 

Cancer and Cancer When two Cancerians come together in a love affair, a loving and yet very emotional domestic relationship ensues. A Cancer-Cancer match makes for a deeply devoted duo, endlessly loyal to one another. Both will learn the ins-and-outs of their partner, the best ways to heat each other up or, if necessary, to cool one another down. Both will also find great comfort and satisfaction in their underlying commitment to one another. This couple is faithful and caring, helpful and sympathetic of individual needs and very oriented toward making a home and creating a sense of family — especially when they can get over their brooding, manipulative and self-pitying habits. If they can find a way to keep their fluid and moody emotions in check, this relationship will nurture both lovers.

 

A Cancer’s place is in the home. Once safely entrenched in their personal sanctuary, the moody Crab may forget about the world outside, not paying mind to the opinions of others, only concerned with what’s going on behind their own closed doors. This attitude carries over into relationships: Like their cherished possessions and material comforts, Cancer never hesitates to defend a loved one if threatened. This devotion and willingness to fight and toil for the survival and success of their relationships are really a Crab’s greatest contributions to the game of love. It’s no wonder Cancer’s symbol is the ‘crabby’ scuttling Crab, for outbursts and flare-ups are common with this emotional crustacean. While their mood swings may injure each other’s feelings, it’s a Cancer’s subtle mastery of the fine art of emotional manipulation that one should watch out for.

 

The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and this Sign is sensitive to the moods that ebb and flow with the Moon’s monthly cycles. The Moon, the maternal orb of the heavens, is the celestial force behind Cancer’s great maternal and care-giving nature. The energy of this instinct creates a warm, secure home environment, a perfect love nest for the growing and cultivation of a healthy relationship.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign. Instinct and emotion drive this relationship. With these deep, intense intuitive powers comes a fragility, as Cancer’s feelings are brittle and easily hurt. Hence, that Crabby shell in which they hide themselves when frightened or overwhelmed. So often retreating to their shells can put a strain on any relationship with a Cancer, but two Crabs together will hopefully be perceptive of each other’s needs for personal space and temporary time-outs. The key is realizing that it’s not a personal slight if one of these Cancers wants some alone-time. This Watery element of their nature can protect them and their loved ones from the harsh realities of the outside world.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. Though not the most physically active of the Signs, a Cancer’s quick emotional reflexes and powers of perception offer an alternate line of defense under stress. The Crab is not shy about getting exactly what they want from their partner. The protecting feral beast within is the first emotional element to leap forward under stress or a threat to the pack. However, these bursts of emotion may overwhelm a Cancer and crush their tender feelings. Fierce loyalty binds this Cancer-Cancer love match, but it can also threaten its very existence. Both partners must always strive to see things from their lover’s point of view as well as their own.

 

What’s the best thing about the Cancer-Cancer love match? Their utter devotion to enriching their commitment and the strong emotional bond between them. Together, this pair will protect one another and keep their love safe from the outside world, as well as work toward creating a happy domestic life and nurturing a loving family.

 

Cancer & LEO

 

 

Cancer and Leo When Cancer and Leo make a love match, they understand and know how to satisfy basic emotional needs within one another. Both these Signs require dedication and tender, loving care, but while Cancer seeks stability and emotional harmony, Leo craves heartfelt compliments and sincere admiration. Both are strongly loyal, even to the point of possessiveness, Cancer for safety’s sake, Leo for the sake of their self-confidence. They are also both committed to a enduring, rewarding connection. Since their desires are similar, a Cancer and a Leo may fill very important voids in each other’s lives.

 

Both Leo and Cancer prefer comfort and security, and they prefer both on a grand scale. Cancer and Leo enjoy a lovely home and a close-knit family. Leo provides the flair and the passion, and Cancer brings to the home a sensitive but intense instinct to nurture. Leo is the bigger and bolder and more vivid of this couple, the picture of majesty and status. Because both Signs are so strong-minded, these two must always work attentively to understand and accept one another.

 

The intense and emotional Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, while the bright, bold Sun (the Self) rules Leo. The Sun is about ego and self, radiating warmth and light, and vibrant Leo indeed radiates this kind of energy and enthusiasm. The Moon concerns itself with nurturing, with creating and maintaining emotional connections. This combination of masculine and feminine energy is why the Sun and the Moon adore and sustain one another other as they do. The Sun represents life, and The Moon cultivation and growth; as long as they are mindful of their inherent differences, their combination can be a positive one.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Leo is a Fire Sign. Leo strives with an ardent energy toward praise and appreciation, while Cancer yearns more for security and stability. Both Signs like to take charge, but they come at a leadership role from very different directions. No small number of disputes can rise from this difference. As long as Cancer and Leo never take for granted their relationship, as long as they reassure one another in practical and romantic ways that this relationship is important to both of them, they can usually find a happy medium.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Leo is a Fixed Sign. Under stress, Leo becomes opinionated and stubborn, and Cancer can act as a subtle manipulative force. Cancer’s the persistent initiator of shared plans, and Leo channels their energies and works doggedly to move plans to completion. If given the choice, the Crab would choose a calm and stable life, having no need for glamour or acclaim. Leo, on the other hand, loves to shake things up and embraces the unexpected and the novel. Though a Leo and a Cancer may commit emotionally to a relationship, each of them can continue to follow their natural instincts AND devote themselves thoroughly and completely to one another. If, however, they haven’t made their love intentions clear to one another, they may find themselves on a never-ending emotional roller coaster ride. Cancer, hiding behind that innocent shell of theirs, can be the more quietly controlling of this pair and might — to a degree – manipulate their Leo loved one when it seems practical to do so.

 

What’s the best aspect of the Cancer-Leo relationship? Their mutual commitment to a sincere relationship. Together this pair can share a supportive, positive and healthy vibe. People see them as a winning combination, and their mutual desire for a secure, loving relationship makes them strive for harmony.

 

 

Cancer & VIRGO

 

 

Cancer and Virgo When Cancer and Virgo make a love match, a strong, down-to-earth relationship with staying power is the happy result. This is a relationship with great potential to get better and better over the passing years. Both Cancer and Virgo are goal-oriented and disciplined. They are sincere and devoted to one another and share a strong sense of purpose. No lightweight love here: These two were not really built for flings! Cancer and Virgo deeply admire one another: Virgo respects Cancer’s quiet strength and dedication while Cancer appreciates Virgo’s keen adaptability and intelligence.

 

These lovers may get off to a slow start, but over time, bonds will only grow stronger. The Cancer-Virgo love match prides itself on common sense and strong principles over fluff and inconsequential or fleeting connections. They enjoy the material comforts of life, but they will only feel good about their bounty if it has come as a result of honest hard work. There could be tiffs if Virgo becomes too critical for Cancer’s easily bruised feelings; Cancer needs to understand that it’s just Virgo’s nature to point out what they observe, that it’s not a personal attack. A Virgo may bristle at their Cancer mate’s stubborn streak, but it’s a trait that a patient and understanding love partner like Virgo could come to appreciate. Also, Virgo’s urge to serve suits Cancer’s affectionate, nurturing nature well.

 

The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and Mercury (Communication) rules Virgo. Though they’re very different planets, they’re both near the Sun and therefore always in one another’s neighborhoods. The Moon is a mothering influence; it’s about cultivation and fostering growth, which are both central concerns for Cancer. Mercury is all about communication, and it’s an androgynous energy — Virgo will adapt and take on the form that it chooses, the guise that best serves a situation. Virgo takes an intellectual approach to life (especially compared to the emotional Cancer), but still manages to be perceptive and intuitive enough to figure others out if they choose. Good thing for the Crab, then, that a Virgo mate can get a feel for devotion and domestic fulfillment if that’s what their Cancer lover desires. These two won’t argue about fulfilling one another’s needs. They’ll work at it and relish the rewards of their conscientiousness.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Virgo is an Earth Sign. Earth Signs, true to their name, are down-to- earth, but they can also be materialistic and preoccupied with acquisition. The Cancer-Virgo love partners like to surround themselves with comfortable, well-crafted things. Water Signs rely on feeling and intuition, making Cancer the emotive force behind this relationship, in a subtle Cancer way, of course. Along with their desire for prosperity, their love of a fancy home life ensures that this couple will work hard toward this shared goal. Also, they’re practical pair, and losing control is never really an issue.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Virgo is a Mutable Sign. While Cancer gets things going, Virgo thrives on a changing routine of responsibilities and challenges. Because they’re so ubiquitous, Virgo will find a place in Cancer’s plans if they really want to. Virgo will keep in mind Cancer’s plans, and will eventually bring results even if Cancer has moved on.

 

What’s the best aspect of Cancer-Virgo relationship? Their dedication to working toward the same goals. Both partners in this love match enjoy a stable home life and nice things, and Virgo truly enjoys helping Cancer along the way to achieving their goals. Their shared goals and desires make theirs a highly compatible love match.

 

 

Cancer & LIBRA

 

 

Cancer and Libra When Cancer and Libra make a love match, they give to one another important things that each lacks. Both Signs seek a secure, assured relationship and will enjoy their shared appreciation for beauty and luxury — especially when it comes to their domestic environment. These two can blend their energies harmoniously if they choose to work toward a common goal. Though this pairing may progress more slowly than some others, and at first they may fear that they have little else in common than their mutual needs for companionship and love of beauty. However, the more they get to know one another, the better each individual in this Cancer-Libra love match will recognize and respect positive qualities in the other.

 

Neither Cancer nor Libra shy away from combining the powers of their emotion and their intellect, and both enjoy the occasional teary opera or sentimental heirloom. Expression of sentiment and happiness are important to both Signs, and Cancer and Libra can complement one another in many ways. Cancer appreciates Libra’s charm and tact, and Libra’s calm, cool diplomacy skills can tame even the wildest pouting fit a Cancer can muster up. Also, Libra, lover of aesthetic beauty and harmony, will appreciate their Cancer mate’s nurturing instinct for a comfortable home and the security that comes with it. Libra can offer the sometimes emotionally impetuous Cancer some perspective on situations. Cancer needs to see the different sides of an issue, or this Crab may be prone to making decisions without knowing all the facts. Conversely, Cancer can help Libra cure their notorious indecision. The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and the Planet Venus (Love) rules Libra. These planetary partners share a love of home, family and romance. While Libra is known for its balancing nature (the Balance is Libra’s symbol, after all!), these love partners share nurturing personalities and desire harmony over conflict. More than any other match-up of Signs, this astrological pair brings a warmth and sense of stability to those around them. Despite all the harmony and homey happiness, though, Librans, whose life approach is based on intellect, can be a bit snobbish and superior, and Cancer, who looks at life through emotional lenses, still has those easily bruised feelings to contend with.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Libra is an Air Sign. Libra sees life as a pure mental exploration, while Cancer’s experience is more tactile, more kinesthetic. Cancer is most satisfied when their emotional needs are met, while Libra simply focuses on what stimulates their mind. At times, these lovers may find it difficult to understand one another. Conflicts can arise in this relationship if Cancer seems too crabby or Libra seems too provocative. Both need to learn that they simply view the world in different ways.

 

Cancer and Libra are both Cardinal Signs. In this relationship, there could be struggles over who wears the pants, who’s at the steering wheel, who’s really in control here. If Libra’s indecision irritates Cancer, Libra can turn on their subtle charm and sense of fairness and go along with Cancer’s decision — as long as Cancer doesn’t get Crabby! Both are initiators, which can, when their ideas and approaches differ, be quite a struggle.

 

What’s the best thing about the Cancer-Libra love match? Their mutual appreciation of stability and domestic balance. Aesthetics matter to them, and they share a love of the comforts in life. Their similar tastes and loves make theirs a relationship of great dedication and harmony.

 

 

Cancer & SCORPIO

 

 

Cancer and Scorpio When Cancer and Scorpio make a love match, the resulting relationship draws together the energies of two emotionally intense Signs. Signs such as these often combine well, each partner’s strengths balancing the other’s weaknesses. These Signs feel a strong sexual attraction, and when they are together the temperature in the room tends to rise! Cancer and Scorpio have a great deal in common, and much potential to keep their relationship passionate and going strong.

 

Cancer and Scorpio enjoy buying things together and creating a comfortable living space: Cancer craves security and Scorpio strives for power. Both occupy their minds with thoughts of domestic goods and resources, including stocks, bonds and inheritances. Since they are both concerned with the home and have fierce loyalties to the family group, Cancer and Scorpio complement each other well. They both see life as a passionate and deeply emotionally exercise of human connection.

 

The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, while Mars (Passion) and Pluto (Power) both rule Scorpio. Thanks to Pluto’s powerful influence, this is an intense combination of Planets, but it’s also a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. These two Signs coming together form the basic foundation of human relationships — The Moon’s nurturing love and Mars’ ambition and passion. The Moon and Mars go well together; the Moon is about growth and rebirth, and Mars is about the passion of romance. Scorpio, influenced by that Martian energy, is smoldering and intense, and emotional Cancer is attracted to this intensity. In turn, Scorpio enjoys the adoration inherent to Moon-ruled, nurturing Cancer.

 

Cancer and Scorpio are both Water Signs. Both are very deep Signs and, like the ocean, you can never really see to the bottom of these two. Scorpio and Cancer may draw further and further into themselves, then suddenly roar back with intimidating force. Loyalty is strong with this love match, thanks to their mutual desire for emotional security. But while Cancer fixes their emotional energy on the family and home, Scorpio focuses more on life’s nuances and undertones, the secrets behind other’s intentions, the power they can wield over other’s emotions. Scorpio can take Cancer on a journey beyond the literal surface of things, and Cancer’s expansive heart can open Scorpio up to their own emotions, teaching their Scorpio mate that feeling is nothing to fear. Additionally, Scorpio appreciates their Cancer mate’s practicality, and Cancer really enjoys Scorpio’s jealousy — it proves that Scorpio really loves and cherishes them.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Scorpio is a Fixed Sign. Once this couple have a common wish, it will come true. However, if their opinions clash, look out! Cancer will be the first to instigate an argument and Scorpio the last to finish it. Cancer may seem to act as the dominant partner and manage to get their way more often, but that isn’t always the truth. Sometimes Scorpio won’t even agree to disagree, they just might pretend to give in. Neither Cancer nor Scorpio are beyond using emotional manipulation to get revenge. Rather than letting disagreements and bad feelings boil over, these love partners must discuss what’s truly important to them in order to reach an equitable compromise. Once Scorpio and Cancer learn to trust and believe in one another, they can achieve almost anything through sheer determination. This love relationship will only fail if the two partners truly cannot overcome their opinionated, stubborn sides.

 

What’s the best thing about the Cancer-Scorpio love match? Their powerful teamwork when they agree on their goals. When Cancer realizes that Scorpio is there for the long haul and that the partnership is emotionally productive, this relationship can blossom. Their mutual determination makes theirs a relationship of formidable strength.

 

 

Cancer & Sagittarius

 

 

Cancer and Sagittarius When Cancer and Sagittarius make a love match, they both need to be patient and give the relationship time to grow and mature. As it develops, each love partner will discover that they have much to offer one another. At first, it just seems like Sagittarius is the thrill seeker who enjoys the occasional adrenaline rush, and that Cancer derives much more satisfaction from emotional security. Early in the relationship, Cancer may want more of a commitment than Sagittarius is willing to give. But as time goes by, Sagittarius will learn to appreciate the strong emotional support that Cancer offers.

 

These two lovers, Cancer and Sagittarius, have different approaches to life; Cancer lives on emotion and tradition, and Sagittarius is the restless wanderer. Cancer’s emotional tidal wave can be difficult and overwhelming for Sagittarius to accept. And Cancer might be resistant to accepting their Sagittarian mate’s restlessness and craving for external activities. A Cancer partner can offer a Sagittarius a secure home base, a place where Sag can go to keep their dreams and ambitions in perspective. The Sagittarius free spirit can lend Cancer’s daily life a little diversity and excitement.

 

The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and Jupiter (Philosophy) rules Sagittarius. The Moon is about love, nurturing and the maternal instinct. Jupiter focuses on expansion, optimism, luck and travel. Together this is combination of growth and expansion and of masculine and feminine energy; the two can sustain each other. When working toward a common goal, these two can combine their energies to great effect. Cancer is a Water Sign, and Sagittarius is a Fire Sign. Sagittarius desires freedom, while Cancer longs for emotional security and stability, and these basic needs color their approach to life, to projects and to relationships. One lover may not always get where the other lover is coming from, but when they put their complementary energies together, sparks can fly and dreams can come true. If they value their intimate connection and their friendship and respect one another’s opinions, their conflicts can usually be resolved.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Sagittarius is a Mutable Sign. Sagittarius moves from idea to idea and venture to venture as the feeling takes them, while Cancer is the instigator of new plans. A Cancer mate must give their Sagittarius lover the freedom to explore their own space and interests external to the relationship. Cancer can bring Sagittarius’ great ideas to life, even if Sagittarius has lost interest and moved on. Sagittarius teaches Cancer the virtues of an open mind over constant and inflexible determination.

 

What’s the best part of the Cancer-Sagittarius love match? The security they can give one another (once Cancer gives Sagittarius the freedom to offer that security freely). They make a compatible couple once they open themselves up to one another and accept as valid each other’s differing life philosophies. If the lines of communication remain open and clear, and as long as these two take time to appreciate and celebrate their differences, theirs will be a stable and happy relationship.

 

 

Cancer & Capricorn

 

 

Cancer and Capricorn When Cancer and Capricorn make a love match, it’s a celestial pairing of great tenacity and determination. Capricorn, the Sea Goat, is focused on logic, on being down-to-earth and real; Cancer brings a charge of emotional intensity to the relationship. Both hold one another to high standards tempered by an abiding mutual respect. In a Capricorn mate, Cancer finds dedication, and in return Capricorn comes to love Cancer’s persistence. These two Signs from opposite sides of the Zodiac can come together to create a very successful and secure connection. This relationship builds and grows from a strong foundation of material and emotional security. Both Signs can be depended on to make frugal, conservative decisions. It doesn’t have to be all solemnity, though, as Cancer can help their hard-working Capricorn lover to relax a little at the end of the day, to take time to enjoy the rewards of all that labor. Cancer will also be the one to polish and preserve the fruits of their shared accomplishments; Cancer is the keeper of nostalgia and cherished memories and possessions. Capricorn moves Cancer toward achievement and keeps in check their Crab-like tendencies, enlightening Cancer to the more important matters of the world outside their own easily bruised heart. This relationship succeeds if there is an ironclad commitment and a stable, traditional home environment.

 

The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and Saturn (Karma) rules Capricorn. The Moon is a warm, feminine energy, and Saturn a cold, masculine energy. The Moon is emotional and nurturing; it is about maternal care giving and intuition, both of which become vital to Cancer. Saturn practices integrity and discipline to achieve goals. A Cancer love mate can show their serious Capricorn companion how to enjoy life and to appreciate beauty and comfort. Mothering Cancer truly enjoys smoothing over Capricorn’s hard edges. Conversely, the Sea Goat can smooth Cancer’s ruffled emotional feathers by providing the sort of solid foundation that Cancer desperately craves. Capricorn teaches Cancer to be more disciplined and to go out into the world and strive toward goals.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Capricorn is an Earth Sign. Earth Signs focus on possessions, Water Signs on emotion and intuition, but also on beauty and nostalgia. The Cancer-Capricorn love mates like to surround themselves with beautiful things — a stately home, gorgeous artwork, expensive cars. Their desire to be economically stable and their love of finery ensures that this couple will work hard toward this and other shared goals. This mutual love for fine things keeps them out of arguments about one partner trying to live ostentatiously or beyond their means.

 

Cancer and Capricorn are Cardinal Signs. Both are initiatory, active and ardent. Though this can be a catalyst for some dynamite conflicts, it can provide Capricorn with an emotional pillar, as Cancer is entirely dedicated to the relationship. Their differing emotional dispositions complement each other well — Capricorn excels in getting the nitty-gritty business done, and Cancer always steps in when emotional counseling is needed. These Signs will get along well if Capricorn and Cancer allow one another to use their respective individual strengths.

 

What’s the best thing about the Cancer-Capricorn relationship? Their utter dedication to one another and their mutual commitments toward shared goals. Both are lovers of quality and of beautiful, luxurious things, and neither shirks at the idea of a little hard work if that’s what it takes (in fact, Capricorn would rather be working than almost anything!). Their shared passions, sense of responsibility and morality make theirs a highly compatible relationship.

 

 

Cancer & Aquarius

 

 

Cancer and Aquarius When Cancer and Aquarius make a love match, it can be a case of opposites attracting. Cancer takes an emotional approach to life, Aquarius, an offbeat, unconventional approach. While Cancer often retreats into its shell, Aquarius takes every opportunity to be the extrovert, the organizer and party animal. They love to find themselves amongst friends; social settings are simply their thing! If a Cancer and an Aquarius can find a way to combine these qualities in a positive way, they can go anywhere together.

 

Both Cancer and Aquarius can be ambitious and determined. They want to get their way, and neither likes to conflict. Cancer can be old-fashioned, attached to tradition and routine, their morals more conservative than progressive. Aquarius, on the other hand, is very modern and likely numbed by routine, yawning at the dull and the boring in which Cancer sometimes finds comfort. Cancer may be intrigued by their Aquarius lover’s sense of excitement, but this traditional Crab could get frustrated trying to keep up with this revolutionary’s mind. Though Aquarius won’t appreciate the possessiveness of a pinching Crab, they could find great comfort in the solid base Cancer provides. Just try to get them to admit it!

 

The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and Saturn (Karma) and Uranus (Rebellion) rules Aquarius. The Moon is a radiant, feminine energy and Saturn is a cool, contained masculine energy. Uranus is about all things abnormal and novel. The Moon is emotional and concerned with growth and domesticity, both of which become central themes in many Cancer’s lives. Saturn deals with hard work and the discipline required for achievement, while Uranus symbolizes forward thought. This combination makes sense for an Aquarian, as they are futurists unafraid of getting their hands dirtied by labor. Cancer mates can teach social, intellectual Aquarius lovers the value of emotional impulses, and their feminine influence will bring beauty and comfort into the home. While Cancer teaches the valuable lesson of an open heart, Aquarius can come right back with the usefulness of a detached heart. Aquarians are blessed to be able to extricate themselves from uncontrollable situations and to reevaluate goals if they get off-course. Not necessarily cold, Aquarius could still benefit from Cancer’s warm, feminine Moon-based influence.

 

Cancer is a Water Sign, and Aquarius is an Air Sign. Aquarius sees life as an intellectual exercise, a constant exploration and expansion of the mind. Cancer’s more pragmatic. Cancer stops to ask, ‘how does this feel?’ while Aquarians keep asking ‘what else is there?’ It may be tough for one to get where the other is coming from, and conflicts can arise if Aquarius gets a little too cool or Cancer too emotionally demanding. They may end up working at cross-purposes: Cancer asks for more and more, Aquarius may pull further and further away. By accepting that their worldviews are dissimilar, Cancer and Aquarius can move on and celebrate their diversity, learn to say ‘vive la difference’ rather than feeling threatened by it.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Aquarius is a Fixed Sign. Both persevere when working toward goals. If they have a set path, they’ll follow it to the end. With this sort of shared perseverance — and if they both place a high value on their relationship — this couple will never be dissuaded from that knowledge and will constantly think of one another. If they run into snags, Aquarius will discover that Cancers, though they may seem shy and retire into their shells, can actually be very tenacious and dogmatic, not above using emotional manipulation on their loved ones. Also, Aquarius could be bothered by Cancer’s over-emotionality. If they agree to work toward a common goal, these two can get along.

 

What’s the best thing about the Cancer-Aquarius love match? When they decide to come together, they are an indomitable force! When they decide to combine their disparate energies, Cancer and Aquarius can find their own natural balance and have fun with their differences rather than letting them frighten them away from a chance to love.

 

Cancer & Pisces

 

 

Cancer and Pisces A love match between a Cancer and a Pisces is a positive meeting of spirits. Both signs are basically tolerant and sympathetic, and Pisces is easily energized by Cancer’s ideas. A Pisces mate can open a Cancer’s eyes to the world of creativity and spirituality. In turn, Cancer’s practicality can be a guide, leading Pisces to the fruition of their dreamy, utopian ideas. This celestial pairing benefits from an amazingly strong and multifaceted emotional bond. Cancer loves material goods, they admire and they appreciate. Cancer desires comfort and a rich home, and at times might not understand the simplistic, minimalist lifestyle of their Pisces mate. Though they may work toward different goals of acquisition and lifestyle, the shared emotional depth of Cancer and Pisces can make theirs a very rewarding relationship. The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and Jupiter (Philosophy) and Neptune (Illusion and Dreams) rules Pisces. When the Moon and Neptune come together, a beautiful spiritual connection is made. Both of these celestial bodies vibrate with warm, feminine energy. Together, they create an idealistic, almost divine relationship, one that puts much significance on dreams and illusions. Jupiter also rules Pisces. This Planet of Good Fortune adds a masculine energy to this planetary combination, representing philosophy, expansion and excesses. The nature of this combination offers a utopian relationship: It is drenched in emotional intrigue and is a true celestial bond. Emotion, depth, warmth, expansion — it all sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it. Though they both ask a lot of their love relationships, Cancer must be careful not to cramp the floating Fish, as Pisces will suffocate under too many demands.

 

Cancer and Pisces are both Water Signs. Since Water is a tangible, physical entity, Cancer and Pisces are generally very compatible. Pisces are in this world to create human connections, and when they come together with Cancerian intuition and nurturing, there is no stronger bond. So that this union does not wash out in a stream of romantic idealism, Cancer’s stable view of life holds them afloat. And it’s not a case of Cancer putting up with a dreamy Pisces mate: Cancer really understands emotional ambiguity and can help Pisces stabilize their ephemeral nature. Though Cancer could grow weary of their Pisces mate’s faraway nature, and though Pisces could be bothered by Cancer’s self-centeredness, it’s easy for this pair to find a compromise.

 

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Pisces is a Mutable Sign. Though intuitive, in love, as in life, Cancer likes to get things moving with a good idea and a solid plan, and they’ll write it all down to keep track. Pisces, on the other hand, is more about going on instinct; they’d lose that plan as soon as Cancer handed it to them! Cancer needs to give Pisces the freedom to enjoy their external interests and to occasionally follow a whim undeterred. Pisces can show Cancer that completion is sometimes better than initiation, and that compromise without struggle can pay off. Cancer and Pisces feed off of each other’s energy well, and should be completely compatible in romance.

 

What’s the best thing about the Cancer-Pisces love match? Their similar emotional natures. Both have a great capacity for emotion and compassion, and both can act as teacher AND student. They complement and harmonize with one another very well. The overall empathy and commitment that these two Signs value in a relationship is what will keep the ties strong and long lasting between the Crab and the Fish.
