SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
We usually see the sign of Cancer as extremely asexual. Our family is presented by the sign of Cancer and the Moon, and it is a psychological challenge for all of us to understand that our parents are sexual beings. This would be fine if the members of this universal Cancer family weren’t convinced in their asexual nature as well. Their emotional characteristics allow only for sexual relationships with meaning and enough tenderness. Only when they meet the right person to set them free, they come to learn about the other aspects of their sexuality.
The problem with sexual relations with an Aries is that Aries partners are usually not that gentle to begin with. They need to learn to show emotion. For them intimacy is something built, not implied. If they manage to reconcile these huge differences at the beginning of their relationship and if none of them is forced to do anything they are not ready for, their attraction to each other should do the trick and their sexual relationship could become truly sensual and exciting for both of them.
TRUST
The issue of trust is something different for this couple. They will rarely debate about their trust in each other’s fidelity. Usually the problem they encounter is a trust issue when it comes to intimacy. Aries has a different view on intimacy. In the eyes of their Cancer partner they can seem pushy and even aggressive with an attitude that doesn’t lead to anything close to relaxed. As much as Cancer would like to understand the straightforward nature of Aries, it will be extremely difficult to see it as anything other than beastly.
There is also a problem with the way they show and recognize emotions. It may be hard for an Aries partner to understand that they are loved if someone only asks annoying questions, tries to tie them down and doesn’t want to have sex. On the other hand, Cancer will probably feel violated in every way, unless Aries partner slows down and has an atypical show of gentle emotions. Usually any sort of mistrust is a consequence of the lack of ability to believe in each other’s feelings for one another, for they don’t really recognize them well.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
Both of these partners have the same tendency to act on an impulse and cut the conversation short before they even got to the point of it. It is not their intention to react in this way, but they push each other’s buttons and it is very hard for them to stay focused and solve the issue they talked about. Their interests differ too much, so even when they are trying to have a peaceful conversation about something impersonal, it is still a battle to keep the attention to the subject in question, whoever initiated the talk.
Their only shared characteristic is the cardinal quality of both signs, which gives them a good understanding on each other’s “ad hoc” personalities. This will make it easier for the couple to recover from all of the possible conflicts and misunderstandings. Still, in the eyes of a Cancer partner, this type of relationship doesn’t have a purpose and they might find themselves fighting in a way they don’t feel comfortable with.
As their signs are ruled by Mars and the Moon, it is an archetypal story of hurt and emotional pain, so their intentions have to be truly pure. They have to treat each other in a gentle, thought-out way, measuring every word they say. This can be exhausting for both of them, unless they fully accept the fact that they don’t need to change their personality, only the way they express it and make a game out of it.
EMOTIONS
Aries and Cancer are both deeply emotional, although Aries is often described as if they had an emotional disability. They are warm, passionate and have high expectations of their partner when it comes to scratching beneath the surface. Their boundaries may be too strict as they fear their own sensitivity and sometimes act like heartless soldiers. Cancer wears their emotions as a winter coat and hides them only when feeling ashamed to show them. They accept their emotional nature as a given and work toward realizing a personal world full of respect for their soft side. We often say that Cancer wants to have a family and raise children, but this is not due to their need to reproduce or stay in the house all day long, but because they need a safe haven for their emotional side and enough people to share their compassionate nature with.
Even though these approaches to their emotions seem different, they understand each other’s depth and in most cases respect each other in this area of existence, in case Aries leaves their impatient nature out of their relationship. The problem appears when they are supposed to understand how they feel about each other, as feelings are not easily shown when dealing with partner’s personality they don’t fully understand.
VALUES
While Aries gives a lot of significance to someone’s state of energy, focus and consistency, Cancer values the ability to stay rational and stable, qualities they have a difficulty achieving, or being in a state of emotional balance. Their values aren’t even connected, except for the fact they both have the idea that some sort of future balance, that can be quite hard to achieve, would make them better.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
As much as Aries wants to devote to their physical body, sports and all the ways to keep their creative energy high, Cancer wants to sleep, dance and eat all they long. Mostly they share sexual activities and the time for rest, since Cancer probably has no intention of following that insane Aries pace.
SUMMARY
This relationship can be painful for both partners and needs a lot of work put into it in order to work. It requires both of the partners to adapt and make changes in their behavior, while tip toing around each other most of the time. It is not an easy road, but the rewards are such inner understanding of passion, full of emotion and the ability to create something truly unique. If they succeed, they will probably never be satisfied with a different partner.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
Someone might think that Taurus and Cancer are two of the most asexual signs in the entire zodiac. This is an instinctive assumption based on the fact that both signs don’t care for Mars very much, meaning they don’t care for instinctive sex. They would probably never have the urge to have sex just for the sake of it, but this doesn’t in any case mean they are asexual.
Taurus is a sign of physical pleasure. Ruled by Venus, the planet of feminine sexuality, Taurus needs to approach their sexual experiences with the same studiousness with which they would approach any other thing in their life. They need to see, touch, smell, feel everything on their partner’s body and enjoy making them satisfied. With Cancer’s need for closeness and the lack of ability to make their sexual life light and carefree, Taurus seems to have the perfect touch to relax them and build trust within their sexual relationship.
With the lack of Mars comes the lack of initiative, and this could be their problem when it comes to sex. In case they both don’t have a sexual drive stronger than their love for food, they could end up in an asexual relationship, in which they would lie around the house, cook, eat and gain weight all day long.
TRUST
When Taurus and Cancer fall in love with each other, they base their entire relationship on the feel of their partner. There is not much that can be hidden from this sensitive, “sixth” sense these two can share when they connect. It would take a lot to break their trust and this would certainly mean the end of their relationship. In most situations, none of them has the need to betray their partner, for their goal is the same – love, family and home.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
They share lots of different interests and will easily talk about their relationship. Neither of these signs talks much, but they are perfectly capable of understanding each other’s silence and give each word a lot of significance. Their most common topics would include love, home and children, except when they feel unready or when they are too young. It is important to understand that these are not the only issues on their minds, though. Whatever their current interests, they will communicate it in a slow, sensitive manner, leading a conversation to a point of deep mutual understanding.
Still, Taurus can be truly stubborn at times. It doesn’t really matter if they are right or not, for they simply close up for any further conversation as soon as one of their true convictions is touched. Cancer can’t really do that much when this happens. They can try and be even more gentle and compassionate. In case they are close to enlightened, this will certainly work. If not, they will get really emotional and discover that their Taurus partner in fact drives them crazy. As a result, Taurus will see their partner as a real lunatic, waving their hands for no reason and showing no rational behavior whatsoever.
EMOTIONS
Taurus and Cancer are the rulers of the entire warm, earthly emotional world. It is not just due to their sensitivity, but the combination of their emotional expression is something almost unimaginable. While Cancer feels, senses and takes care of their Taurus partner in the emotional realm, Taurus will give love back through physical tenderness, material security and the gentle touch of practical sense that Cancer needs. When this cycle happens several times, their love seems like a chain reaction that will never stop growing.
If they meet in supporting circumstances, when they don’t need to fight for each other or the possibility of their love, every emotion should simply build up on the previous one and things between them should run smoothly. But if they stumble upon an obstacle of any kind, before their love for each other develops, they will probably be discouraged and never discover what they might have felt if only they fought for one another. If they do fall in love, they will not lack the energy to fight for their relationship, no matter the obstacles.
VALUES
Most of all, they both value life and peace. Since the Moon is the ruler of the sign of Cancer and exalted in Taurus, they both deeply value all things the Moon represents – family, compassion, understanding and bliss.
However, there can be a certain divergence in their view of the material world. Cancer is a Water sign, much more focused on the value of emotion, while Taurus will be turned to financial security. This usually reflects the fear Taurus feels when it comes to their material existence being in question. In the eyes of Cancer this may seem superficial for they have a tendency to think of material reality in an idealistic way. If they have a family together, these issues should settle, because the love of Cancer partner to their children combined with their desire to give them everything they need, easily shifts their perspective and teaches them about the true value of money.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
We could say that they might share every single activity any of them thinks of, but this is not that often called an “activity”. Most of the time and especially if they both have demanding jobs, they will simply share the activity of sleeping, eating or doing nothing. This is not a question of laziness, but more of an exaggerated need for the pleasure of rest. When shared, it seems to multiply and grow beyond both of their rational minds.
SUMMARY
Taurus and Cancer present the gentlest couple of the zodiac. When they fall in love, they will rarely find the reason to separate, because of their shared emotional goals for love, understanding, family and the feeling of home. This is the relationship that seems like a perpetuum mobile of love, in case both partners don’t already have too much emotional baggage that makes them unable to give and receive this depth of emotion. Even if they do, with no obstacles on the way, they will likely learn to forgive and forget as the flow of their relationship takes them to what they always desired.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
Gemini would go outside and have the weirdest sexual experiences, and Cancer would stay at home and wait for the night to be loved by their tender partner. This is not always the case, of course, but it is very rare for a Gemini partner to manage to relax their Cancer and make them join their sexual adventure. Still, there is a link between them, pretty strong for that matter. Cancer continues the sign of Gemini, and in a way their nature is a consequence of endless conversations and rational explanations.
If Gemini partner has enough patience to talk to their partner about same things over and over, in time they could build enough intimacy to have a good sex life. In order for this scenario to develop, Cancer needs to talk, too. It will not be enough to say a sentence or two and expect that their Gemini will understand how they feel. If they manage to communicate, Cancer could actually wake the depth of their Gemini, giving them enough support to express their more emotional sexual personality.
If they want their relationship to work, their sex life needs to be somewhere in the middle – intimate enough and exciting enough – for both partners to be satisfied.
TRUST
Gemini is a sign ruled by Mercury, our little trickster. It is not easy to trust a Gemini partner, especially if one is trying to take away their freedom. As a rational sign, they usually find no reason to lie or cheat on their partner, for as long as they don’t feel threatened by intimacy they are not ready for, or tied down.
The major task of Cancer in a relationship with Gemini is to let them be free. If they start living together, Gemini will have to stay out of their love nest and Cancer will spend a lot of time alone. This is a challenge, but both signs can have enough dedication to their personal values, and these partners should know better than to ruin their relationship with trivial lies.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
There is probably not a single sign in the zodiac that Gemini couldn’t talk to, so their communication skills mark this category a bit higher in every case. In their relation to a Cancer partner, they usually feel the need to open up a bit more and share things that they wouldn’t with other people. There is a certain “motherly” glow around Cancer, male or female, that gives Gemini enough room to set their inner child free.
This can actually be a wonderful relationship that lasts much longer than other Gemini relationships, because there is usually enough understanding in Cancer for their childlike partner. That is, if other aspects of the relationship are satisfying enough. It is safe to say that Cancer and Gemini make good friends and this could give a push in the right direction toward their emotional and sexual understanding as well.
EMOTIONS
The main negative possibility here would be in the fact that Gemini doesn’t always listen. It is often said that Gemini is a superficial sign, but in fact, they like to stay afloat and keep away from difficult conversations because of their need to move forward. Cancer can try to share their emotions too often for Gemini to have enough patience to understand them, and this can be devastating for their emotional relationship.
On the other hand, Gemini doesn’t really show emotions in a way that Cancer will easily recognize. It is a good thing they are capable of finding emotion in anything and anyone, so they might have a chance to understand the emotional nature of their childish Gemini.
VALUES
They have completely different systems in which they value things in life. While Gemini is a rational sign, giving value to all that comes out of their mind, Cancer is an emotional guru, giving value to things their heart beats for. When it comes to relationships, they are probably the most vulnerable to differences in this category, for differences here make their primary goals different. Although they will both be motivated to find love, the way their partner acts in a relationship could be considered “wrong” due to its opposite nature from what each of them values.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
Activities Gemini and Cancer could share mainly depend on the energy level of Cancer partner. If they have enough of it to follow Gemini’s chaotic schedule, they could find a lot of enjoyable things to do together. Cancer is a sign that exalts Jupiter, and its representatives like to travel, as much as they like to feel at home due to the sign itself. Although Gemini partner doesn’t really have to go that far, they could find middle ground in travelling to places they both want to visit.
However, the main characteristic of Gemini is their curiosity. It will lead them in all directions, they will feel the need to try everything and find more new, exciting experiences to share with someone. Unfortunately Cancer doesn’t really enjoy this that much. While the relationship is new, it will all seem exciting and breathtaking. As time passes, Cancer will want to settle down, imagining them buying furniture together and raising children. It is not easy for them to accept that this nature Gemini has isn’t something that will be different tomorrow. There is no settling down with a Gemini partner. This is just not their mission in life.
SUMMARY
Gemini and Cancer are next to each other in the zodiac, and they are likely to be next to each other in friendship. When it comes to emotional or sexual relationships, there seems to be too many things that set them apart. In order for their relationship to last, they both need to make some adjustments. Gemini will hardly ever change their routine for someone, especially when they find someone’s way of life boring, so the best thing to do here is to give them their freedom. If Cancer falls in love deeply enough, they will understand what their Gemini partner needs, and won’t hold them back even if they wished for them to be different.
Gemini partner has to open their heart and listen to those few words that Cancer wants to share. Even though they can speak about many things, when it comes to discussions of their relationship, their views on it are different. Gemini needs to keep it interesting and Cancer needs to be heard, as much as felt. If they give each other enough freedom and understanding, they could be like children in love for the first time.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
When it comes to intimacy, Cancer is a master of achieving it with the right person. If two Cancer truly find each other, they will reach for each other’s deepest emotional core within their sex life. Still, Cancer is a sign where Mars falls and it is not easy for them to have initiative. For a healthy sex life, Mars needs to be strong and these two don’t necessarily show this strength. This could lead to their emotional relationship blossoming, but no sexual chemistry between them.
It is a good thing they both don’t need much experience or technical knowledge in their sexual encounters, because this gives them a chance to base their sex life exclusively on emotions they have for each other. It could be boring from the perspective of some other zodiac signs, but they really won’t care if they get the confirmation they are loved through their physical contact.
However, they do need someone to wake them up, motivate them and push their limits. No Cancer will be satisfied with a boring emotional life, even though they might seem that way. They will fight for their family, for intimacy and their safe haven, but they will not settle for something that doesn’t excite them at all. In order for the relationship of two of them to succeed, it would be a good idea to experiment a little and show initiative at any time they feel the least bit sexual.
TRUST
Why not trust each other when they both don’t care about their ego being lifted by adultery, a younger partner or search for some impossible love story. Cancer is a well-grounded sign, for its ruler is exalted in Taurus. They want an emotional stability that can be felt in the material world and understand that there is no such thing as perfection. When they find a person they can see themselves with in years to come, they will accept their faults and make necessary compromises to build a loving family and a home for themselves. If two Cancers see each other in this way, they have no reason not to trust each other completely.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
If you are looking for a fan of non-verbal communication, look for Cancer. When there are two of them, especially if they are in an intimate relationship, they can be quiet for days for as long as their inner feeling is good. Although they enjoy the routine of sharing some life details with their partner, their favorite time of day will probably be that cup of morning coffee when they don’t have to talk at all.
Some of the more rational signs could have a low opinion on the intellectual strength of these partners and they could seem as if they have nothing to say. But anyone who is a bit more sensitive will feel that they look at each other with undivided attention and follow each other’s movements and grins. They don’t need words when they can smile to each other. Who cares about communication really? It can be so obsolete…
EMOTIONS
Mostly Cancer is tagged as the most emotional sign of the zodiac. This is somewhat true, although the leading roles are divided by all of the Water signs. Cancer is the sign of family love and closeness, not so much the sensual, sexual love presented through Venus. When two Cancer representatives start a relationship, they will understand each other’s emotional states perfectly. There is an almost inevitable issue in their primary families that needs to be resolved, and they will usually use each other to do so.
As they are both ruled by the Moon, their mood changes will probably coincide, but the scope of emotions that the Moon represents is far bigger than most of us presume. They carry emotional state of their ancestors and it is not enough to tag them as just “emotional”. The best relationship for two Cancer partners means to build a family, but only in case they have a good sex life. All of their emotions are best shared, understood and dealt with when they share a home and their life together.
VALUES
They will share the same values and understand each other perfectly in this segment of their relationship. Their similarity comes to focus right here, where they are free to value emotional clarity, peace and a calm, family life someone is able to create. This could keep them together in a loving relationship even if they maybe didn’t seem perfect for each other in the first place.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
As two Cancer partners they don’t have a problem to share any activity, but they could realize that they have a problem starting one. While their relationship is new and everything is exciting, they will both share their ideas on things they could do together, probably things from their individual routines. When the relationship settles, they might find themselves in stagnation, not moving at all, just because of their passive natures that have a tendency to spend a cozy evening at home.
SUMMARY
Cancer is a sign of genetic inheritance and it is sometimes difficult to reconcile the genetic predispositions of two Cancer partners. However, their mellow nature, ability to feel and have enough compassion for each other, makes them great candidates for marriage, children and the whole picket fence scenario.
Their sex life and their shared activities could suffer a general lack of initiative, energy and movement. Because of this, they should both try not to end up in a boring everyday routine in which they only eat and sit in front of a TV as soon as they come home from work. It is important for them to have enough tender surprises and activities that build their physical relationship, or they might end up unsatisfied and not really understanding why. If they are troubled by this possible shortcoming of their relationship, as two tender individuals, they will manage to make each other feel wonderful, even if that means breaking up.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
Cancer and Leo make a very interesting couple due to the fact they are the only signs in the zodiac ruled by the lights in the sky, both of which are not planets – the Sun and the Moon. Although they don’t have much in common, in astrology they represent a husband and a wife and are the king and queen of the zodiac. Unfortunately we know how unsatisfying the sex between a king and a queen can be like.
The sexual aspect of their relationship depends on the depth of their emotions. As highly emotional signs, each in their own way, they tend to show their love in different ways and this can be a bit hard to reconcile in their sex life. As a Fire sign, Leo is way more openly passionate and this could scare their Cancer away. Cancer is tender and sensitive enough to make their Leo partner feel guilty because of their nature, or Leo could simply have difficulty being tender in the way Cancer needs them to. It is as if a lion and a roe started a sexual relationship and although they don’t want to hurt each other, their primal behavior seems to pull them in that direction.
Still, because of their rulers, they can get pretty close and share fine emotions in their sexual encounters. Although there won’t be much excitement to them, they could be satisfying enough for both partners if they don’t expect a wild sex life. To find middle ground they really need to be quiet and listen to each other’s needs.
TRUST
It is said that Leo likes to be in the center of everyone’s attention. This is somewhat true and Leo is a born performer, more or less supported to become one. However, their need to show off is something Cancer might find irritating, but not something to lose their trust over. If Cancer feels loved, they have no reason to doubt their partner just because of their nature. Still, the differences between them might lead to a secret search for more compatible partners and this is easily sensed by both partners.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
Cancer and Leo, ruled by the Moon and the Sun, represent a subconscious and a conscious mind. Even if they share interests, they will often have a strangely different view on the same thing. They will often just drift apart as the conversation progresses. The Moon does reflect the light of the Sun, but it circles around the Earth. This would be fine if the Sun wasn’t so used to the fact that everyone circles around it. This explains what happens in their relationship once Leo starts talking. Although they shine, Cancer pays much more attention to someone else or to the idea of earthly things they could have together, than to their Leo partner.
The base of their communication should be in things that have yet to be discovered. All the mysteries that are there to be solved could be a good starting point because they both need to understand things, each in their own area of dominance. The best possibility they have is in the things that need a light cast on them from two different angles. If they have enough respect for each other, they could learn a lot from each other’s passive and active approach to life.
EMOTIONS
We can say with certainty that their emotions are a truly beautiful thing. Both signs represent love and although it is not the same kind of love, it is an emotion, pure and simple. Cancer is a Water sign that represent motherly love and all emotions in one’s family. Although this is not always a promise of happiness, the depth of all the love that hides within is magical. On the other hand, Leo is a Fire sign of joy, first loves, fun and sex. Their heart is warm and big, for Leo represents our inner child, and their loyalty is unchangeable when they decide to give it to someone.
The main problem here is their connection, for Cancer needs to look into somebody’s eyes and feel the love, while Leo wants to shout it out from the rooftops. This could seem untrue to Cancer, as much as Leo could recognize in Cancer something that would rather tie them down than allow them to fly. Both of them have opposing signs ruled traditionally by Saturn and this is exactly why they could recognize true quality in their relationship, as each of them takes their opposing role to learn something. Usually this is not something that can last very long and they will probably both move on to find someone who is more of an image from their seventh house.
VALUES
They simply don’t value the same things. Although this is the point where they separate their ways, it usually takes them long to realize this fact. Cancer values tenderness, emotions, family and a stable life with someone, while Leo values initiative, passion, energy and focus. There is rarely something that they will both value in the same way, or put in the same spot at their priority lists.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
It helps that Leo would gladly sleep for 20 hours a day. This will make them available at home. They will also gladly be served by breakfast, lunch and dinner, and who better to prepare those than a caring Cancer. However, when they leave the house, they will want to visit different places. Cancer will want to visit their close friends, especially if they have babies, go for a walk by the lake or have a romantic evening at the movies. Whatever they do, they like it with a little intimacy to it. As if to oppose this, Leo will want to spend time at places where they could be seen. Their partner needs to shine to others and hold them by the hand while everyone else claps theirs. This is not often something Cancer will be ready to do, as they don’t really like to be the center of attention. On the other hand, Leo could compromise, but in the end they wouldn’t be happy if their social needs aren’t met.
SUMMARY
Although the Moon reflects the light from the Sun, the sign of Cancer doesn’t really see Leo as the source of all their joy. Leo is a sign that should spread joy and love with an active approach to each one of their relationships. How is it possible that Cancer is immune? Well probably because the Moon circles around the Earth, not the Sun.
They are special, that’s for sure. Both of them are strong individuals, each on their own plane. Their lack of understanding and emotional touch can be explained through the fact that both of them have a mission to spread love to the less fortunate signs of the zodiac. Not everyone is born with an emotional flow like Cancer and a huge, warm heart like Leo. If they kept all this love to themselves, some unfortunate souls would probably search for them aimlessly, and the world would be a much sadder place.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
When Cancer and Virgo get together, there is potential for a great, everlasting love. They have a possibility to become an inspirational contact of heart and mind, if only they give in to the opportunity to enter each other’s worlds.
Their sexual relationship seems to be a lecture on emotion. The sign of Virgo brings Venus to its fall and suffers from a general lack of emotion. It is a rational sign with a lot to analyze, that rarely gives in to the first impulse or their fragile emotional state. They are to learn on how to feel safe enough to let their guard down and shut their mind off in order to feel and enjoy sex. Cancer doesn’t really understand how someone could have trouble getting in touch with their emotions and can have unrealistic expectations because of this. They will learn to understand their partner better and make a stronger sexual bond, realizing how different people can be.
TRUST
If someone can help Virgo build their trust, it is their Cancer partner. Although Cancer is a cardinal sign, they are stable by nature, especially when it comes to emotional decisions they have made. If they have chosen Virgo to be their loving partner, they will have no reason to lie or cheat. This behavior would only endanger their vision of a shared life and a loving family they want with the partner they chose. This is also a reason why Cancer won’t have an initial problem with trusting Virgo. Their convictions are stronger than their doubt.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
This is a tricky side of a relationship for a Cancer and a Virgo partner. The lack of words from Cancer certainly makes room for everything Virgo wants to say, but as signs ruled by the Moon and Mercury, they have a simple conflict of emotion versus logic. Although Virgo represents the grounded side of Mercury and that makes it much easier for them to communicate with someone like Cancer, they are still leaning a bit too much on their rationality rather than their heart.
However, both of these planets are ruling the human brain – Mercury represents the core and Moon rules the rest of it. This is why when their topics and their intellectual strengths combine in a right way, and with their emotions to follow, they find an uncharted, new territory in which none of them has ever been. Their communication can become truly inspiring and magical if they accept each other’s characters fully.
EMOTIONS
The rational side of Virgo could keep their overall emotional status very low. If Cancer starts showing their emotions openly and with no restriction, Virgo might get scared and start analyzing every little thing to determine if any emotion is really there. There is probably no greater turn off for a Cancer than someone who rationalizes their own emotion. As if the fight to keep them afloat among the human race isn’t enough, now they have to deal with a neurotic partner who dismisses them.
The emotional side to Virgo is a deeply feminine side, usually ashamed to show her face, especially if Virgo partner is male. It becomes almost impossible for them to feel something if they are in any way pressured or feel mistrust with their partner. Virgo would rather be alone, with a right book, than with the wrong person, and it takes a lot of patience and rationality from their partner if they want to understand and wait for the ice to melt. If Cancer manages to do this, there is no reason for both of them not to resolve any other emotional issue that needs resolving, mutual or individual, while together.
VALUES
If they form a truly functional and beautiful relationship, they will value each other. To Virgo, their Cancer partner will seem much more down to earth and rational than they are, and to Cancer, their Virgo partner will have a recognized soft spot in their heart. Other things won’t matter much when they find each other, because there is no compromise they both wouldn’t make to keep this love going. However, their different values might represent an obstacle to them getting to this point in a relationship. As a deeply emotional and the most intelligent sign in the zodiac, one of them values family, love and understanding, and the other intellect, attention to detail and their health. It is not like they don’t have a meeting point, but it will not be easily found if they both stubbornly keep to their habits and opinions.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
Although Virgo is a mutable sign and they can be pretty hard to follow, they do belong to the element of Earth and will be capable to wait for their Cancer partner to decide whether they will want to join them or not. This is very often a relationship of two people who can manage without each other, so they will not be bound by shared activities as much as some other signs might be. If one of them wants to do something, unless truly insecure, they won’t take it as a personal insult if their partner doesn’t want to do the same thing. This is where their rational compatibility will really come in handy, as they make arrangements for their time together.
Usually there will be just enough movement and romance for both of them to feel special, and this is certainly not the main concern in their relationship. After all, they would both gladly go to a movie and eat some popcorn, so there is always something they can do together, even if their needs are very different.
SUMMARY
Cancer and Virgo can have a wonderful connection and are usually brought together by sexual understanding. The main problem of their relationship is in the possible conflict between emotional Cancer and reasonable Virgo. If they manage to overcome this, accepting each other’s shortcomings and learning to incorporate some rationality or some emotion into their lives, they could end up in an inspiring relationship that will last for a very long time. In a way, they complement each other as much as the heart complements the mind. If they share a spark of love, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity for happiness just because of someone’s irrational expectations or someone’s closed heart.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
At first glance Cancer and Libra might seem as if they are really far apart. Both signs have trouble accepting Mars and this leads to a lack of passion and initiative in their sex life. However, the tactful and careful nature of Libra can really soothe Cancer. This is mostly because of the fact that Saturn, the ruler of Cancer’s opposing sign, is exalted in Libra. Although some initiative might be lacking, there is a chance for Cancer and Libra to function very well in their sex life if they spend enough time together.
The problem with their sexual connection is in their element, more than anything else. Cancer belongs to the element of Water and Libra is an Air sign. Although Libra partner might be extremely patient and nice, there is still a speed to the element of Air that Cancer might have trouble adjusting to.
Things they would like to try out will differ greatly, for Cancer needs emotional connection and Libra needs contact, touch and experience before they get too emotional. Libra is not often inspired by the nature of Cancer and won’t normally fall in love with them at first sight. Their sex life can be very good if they already share deep emotions, so it would be best if they started a relationship out of friendship, already knowing each other to some point and sharing some feelings besides possible attraction.
TRUST
Cancer can be one of the most trusting zodiac signs, but there is an irritating side to Libra’s nature that they rarely stay immune to. While Cancer wants a quiet family life with no interference from other people, Libra can’t seem to stay away from other people, seeking their affection and approval day after day. At some point their Cancer partner has to ask themselves if this is the kind of partner they want to have children with. On the other hand, Libra finds the whole approach to a romantic relationship Cancer has a bit unrealistic. This can easily lead to a lack of trust in Libra, especially if the Sun is in final degrees of the sign.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
As signs ruled by Venus and the Moon, it is safe to presume that their relationship is in a way very important. Although Libra is in charge for the upper, spiritual nature of Venus, it is still a sign of relationships and the Moon will only emphasize the need for closeness and harmony. Their communication will not be too difficult, but there is a chance they won’t share many interests or respect each other enough for it to have true quality.
Their main problem could surface if they start making unrealistic plans together. The expectations of Cancer with Capricorn as their opposing sign would be extremely practical and strict. Libra does exalt Saturn, but it is not an Earth sign, and usually they remain in the field of ideas instead of a practical approach to materialization. Cancer doesn’t understand how someone can be so far from reality and this could lead to a strange passive conflict that could endanger their entire relationship. Cancer needs to realize that Libra has its place among the Air signs, in the field of ideas – not necessarily their realization.
It is important to remember that Libra has a troubled Sun and usually looks for a partner with more fire and passionate energy than Cancer normally has. However ugly that might sound, they need someone to feed on, and they normally have strong relationships with fire signs which produce enough energy even for their loved ones, or Air signs who don’t really care about it. The sign of Cancer unconsciously calculates and distributes energy to their inner priority list, and they will rarely have an excess big enough to shower Libra in it.
EMOTIONS
Both Moon and Venus represent emotions, and they are both highly emotional signs. However, their emotional context is very different, for Cancer is looking for a love on Earth and Libra is looking for someone to take to heaven. This is exactly where the spiritual side of Libra’s Venus takes away their true chance to share a life together. It is a Venus that doesn’t need to eat or sleep, for as long as it feels the unique, balanced love. Cancer will understand this idea to some point, but probably look for a more grounded partner when they realize that this is a pattern that isn’t about to change.
As two cardinal signs, they could have a long unsatisfying relationship because they are both waiting for a groundbreaking moment to set them free. In some cases they should be advised to make a change if they are not satisfied, and search for someone who could make them happier.
VALUES
As both of them are signs of relationships – family relationships or relationships with partners – they will both value a pleasant and joyful connection between two people. If they find it with each other, they will certainly have trouble letting it go, both of them understanding that it is not that easy to find. However, their entire system of values differs greatly beyond the point of relationships, and while Cancer will value tenderness and care, Libra will value responsibility and platonic love. That doesn’t sound promising, does it?
SHARED ACTIVITIES
Cancer and Libra could do many things together, but it is questionable if they will want to. Cancer is a sign that exalts Jupiter and although they can be perfectly happy with a grumpy partner, they would appreciate them not to have a need to impose their grumpiness on them. There is a secret desire to every Cancer to travel the world, while having the safe base to come home to, but Libra could destruct their beliefs and lead them to doubt they simply don’t want to deal with. With Cancer’s mild and mellow temperament, Libra will probably feel even more inadequate and grumpy, for they need someone to be their opposition and defy them in order to have respect and sexual charge.
SUMMARY
Probably the biggest restriction in the relationship between Cancer and Libra is in things they want from their partner. Cancer wants someone responsible, to take them by the hand if needed and complement their emotional nature with practicality. Libra wants someone who is full of life, energized, strong and full of initiative to follow their ideas. They can really disappoint each other if any expectations are set wrongly at the beginning of their relationship. The best way for them to build a love that is to last, is for both partners to hold on to their independence whatever happens. If they focus on love and worry about earthly things each on their own, Cancer could “compromise” on heavenly love, as much as Libra would like to have a family.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
The sign of Scorpio is associated with death and all kinds of bad things, but all of their maliciousness comes from their emotional and sexual repression. Cancer can usually understand the need of their Scorpio partner to express their deepest, darkest emotions in their sex life. If Cancer partner doesn’t get scared or too forced to do something they are not ready for, a sexual relationship between Cancer and Scorpio can be deeply satisfying for both partners.
This is a relationship of two Water signs and because of this their sex life needs to reflect all of their emotional connection or a lack of it if there is any. When they fall in love, they will both need to express their feelings and the intimacy they might share is incredible.
However, Scorpio is a sign in which the Moon falls and this is the ruler of the sign of Cancer. If Scorpio’s need to bury their emotions is too intense, there is a great chance they will be too rough or insensitive on their partner. This is something Cancer will have difficulty coping with and could lead to Cancer’s need to separate because they could simply get tired from all the special or aggressive sexual requirements their Scorpio partner has.
TRUST
When Scorpio falls in love, trust is one of the most important things they are looking for. If they feel betrayed in any way, they can start showing all of those maleficent sides of their nature and become truly possessive and jealous. Cancer partner usually wants someone to share a life with and they will have no reason to cheat or lie to their partner.
As all water signs, they could both fear telling the truth to a certain point, but this doesn’t necessarily need to speak of their unfaithfulness or the beginning of the end of their relationship. Usually they will both be able to give each other enough security to feel safe and build the trust they both need not to feel hurt or betrayed.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
Cancer and Scorpio usually understand each other without words. This can influence their sex life and make it much better, or much worse, depending on how their need for mystery is expressed. Their communication is very good, for as long as emotions are not the main theme of a conversation. They can finish each other’s sentences if they have any need to talk in the first place. The depth they both have, although it might not be visible at first in Cancer partner, makes them able to talk about anything at all.
In the case when Cancer wants to run from negative experiences and Scorpio from their emotions, they could have trouble forming a relationship at all. Still, this is a very rare scenario and even if they have these tendencies, they will probably help each other deal with them and give each other the exact mental stimulation they both need.
EMOTIONS
This is a tricky territory for a couple like this one. Cancer lives buried in their emotions, positive or negative, capable of using them in their everyday routine as an incorporated part of their life. Scorpio can have trouble understanding how this works exactly, because they have a tendency to dismiss emotions, thinking that this is the only way to reach a certain goal.
The middle ground they need to find is a place where they are both free to follow these needs. Emotions have to be a way of living, as much as they can interfere with our goals. Both of these partners need to learn to lose control, as well as gain it again, in order to be able to let things flow and change in the way they are supposed to.
VALUES
Cancer values their inner peace and wants a stable life with a family they can rely on. Scorpio represents change and values it most of all, even if they are not fully aware of this. It can be difficult for these partners to coordinate their personalities if they are both not flexible enough to understand their differences and the depth each of them has behind these superficial needs. Scorpio can fear emotion to the point of agony and if Cancer recognizes this, they will be able to approach them in the best way possible and discover their true need for security and emotional balance.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
It doesn’t really matter what Cancer and Scorpio will do if they both feel good with each other. They have to share emotions and protect their loved ones – Cancer due to their motherly need to protect people they love, and Scorpio in order to set good boundaries on what they think is right. If they create their own little world, they can be found in any situation together, dealing with things as one being. Scorpio usually likes some dangerous activities and Cancer will have difficulty adjusting to those, but if their emotional core is good, they will have a quiet understanding of each other’s needs, however destructive they might get.
SUMMARY
A relationship between a Cancer and a Scorpio can go from one extreme to another, and although Cancer partner will try hard to stabilize it, it might be too difficult if Scorpio doesn’t have enough respect for their own emotions. When they find an emotional link, they can go very deep in search of true love, and unite on a level that is unreachable for other zodiac signs. This can make them speak without words, understand each other’s thoughts with only one shared glance and be synchronized in their approach to their future together.
If their emotions aren’t shared on a deepest possible level, or Scorpio partner refuses to deal with them, it could be too hard for Cancer to handle the self-destructive nature of their partner. Their connection needs to be sincere and pure, in order for both of them to be ready to give in to this intense emotional contact.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
Cancer and Sagittarius will almost never get attracted to each other. If they do, against odds, they could find an interesting shared sexual language that none of them anticipated will be found. The changeable nature of Sagittarius can be somewhat difficult for Cancer to understand because of their opposite need for emotional security. If trust between them is reached in any possible way and true emotions are shared, this characteristic of a Sagittarius partner will become a spice to their sex life, rather than its destructive force.
If they have enough emotional security with one another, their sex life could be very fun. Cancer is a sign that exalts Jupiter, and will probably make their partner feel special. On the other hand, Sagittarius will make things light, fun and although the lack of depth could bother Cancer, passion and warmth they bring into their sex life might just be enough to compensate.
The only way their relationship can succeed is for Cancer to let go of their preconceptions and allows some change and fun enter their strict sex zone. Although they can seem mellow most of the time, they have a tendency to hold on to secure patterns when it comes to things that can make them feel shame or insecurity. In return, Sagittarius will have to lower their expectations on Cancer’s own changeability and sexual creativity, and be satisfied with lovemaking instead of a sexual adventure.
TRUST
Sagittarius is a sign ruled by Jupiter. Deities associated with this planet were considered great lovers, always on the chase for different women, goddesses, nymphs, and whoever seemed attractive enough. More often than not, Sagittarius representatives have the need to show their seductive skills to everyone around them and we could call this a “Zeus’ complex”.
Although the sign of Cancer loves Jupiter very much, emotions make it impossible for them to understand this flirty need of their partner to win the hearts of everyone around them. Not only will this disturb Cancer’s trust, but it will also affect the trust Sagittarius has in the understanding they will get from their partner. This could be the source of many conflicts and misunderstandings, and could finally lead to the point where their relationship has no purpose or future at all.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
Both of these signs strive for knowledge, pure and simple. Their mutual love for it will give them plenty of things to talk about and a deep understanding of each other’s reasoning. Their minds need to find the synthesis of things that surround them and their belief systems can be quite similar. The wonderful thing of their mutual love of Jupiter is exactly in the similarities between their minds and their ways of thinking.
Cancer can seem a bit slow from Sagittarius’ perspective, as much as Sagittarius can seem superficial or too “philosophical” to Cancer. They can easily overcome these issues if they find a passion they share and usually if these two choose the same profession, they have many things to talk about. They understand each other’s mind and the way their brain works, even when there is a large intellectual difference between them. If they happen to fall in love, communication is something they can always use as means to solve any other problem that appears in the course of their relationship.
EMOTIONS
This is not a combination of Sun signs that will fall in love very often. As elements of Water and Fire, they don’t really spark each other’s passion and the love between them will hardly ever be the same intensity, at the same time or the same pace. Sagittarius is a mutable Fire sign and they usually fall in love quickly and passionately. If their love is to last, their partner needs to surprise and impress them often, making the relationship exciting and unpredictable.
Cancer, on the other hand, is a cardinal Water sign, and they will make sharp turns and huge changes, but much less frequently than their partner. Cancers follow their feel of situations and people, and need time to build a relationship in which they feel secure enough to share emotions. When love happens between them, usually Sagittarius feels it first, wants to jump in and out and in and out enough times for Cancer to realize that they cannot build this sense of security to even consider their relationship a true love.
If they are to build a love that will last, Sagittarius partner will have to slow down and wait until their partner decides how they feel. In return, Cancer will have to take a leap of faith and jump into a relationship that offers no security, to see if enough love can be found between them so they can stay together.
VALUES
Although they value different things and different characteristics in people around them, they have a strong link in the way they value knowledge. Cancer will value Sagittarius’ honesty and their ability to act on emotional impulse, even if they don’t understand the emotion behind the act. Sagittarius will value Cancers dedication to things they love and their incredible ability for compassion.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
They might study together, but it would probably be a torture for Cancer to watch their partner move from one paragraph to another, only to find what they were really searching for at the end of some old book and then lose interest in the entire subject. Sagittarius will look at their partner as if the entire person just turned into a long, irritating pause. The way these signs use their energy is so different that it is not only difficult to find activities they will do together, but more importantly it is difficult for them to do things in a similar way. This could make the possible impossible and they could be forever separated by a simple difference in their speed.
SUMMARY
Cancer and Sagittarius are usually signs that aren’t attracted to each other at all. If attraction and love are born between them, they will rarely have a damaging relationship for any one of them, because their signs are ruled by the Moon and beneficent Jupiter. It is safe to assume that they will be good for each other, for as long as their relationship lasts, but it is rare for them to succeed in the long run if they don’t have strong support from positions in their personal horoscopes. As much as Cancer can reach the depth of their partner’s faith, Sagittarius can widen their partner’s horizons and make them much happier in their approach to the world. If they have feelings for each other, it would be a shame not to act on them and miss the opportunity to peacefully grow.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
Cancer and Capricorn are opposing signs and there is a strong attraction between them. When they get together, a passion awakens and they both become perfect lovers for one another. The patience Capricorn has for their partner is something Cancer really needs to relax and start feeling sexual to begin with. Capricorn needs someone who acts on true emotion, but also someone who doesn’t take sex lightly. There are Capricorn representatives who have changed many partners, but they will probably never stay with the one that isn’t family oriented and emotional when it comes to physical relations.
Intimacy Cancer can create is exactly compatible to what Capricorn lacks. There is a lack of love, home and warmth in the sign of Capricorn, and Cancer partner can heal this with their highly compassionate approach. This could lead to thawing of Capricorn’s emotional state and uplift the state of their sex life significantly.
TRUST
Although Capricorn might seem trustful, they are probably one of the least trusting signs of the zodiac. Not only is the sign of Pisces in their third house representing the way they think, but they are also often led by panic in their intimate relationships. When a Capricorn representative falls in love, they will understand that their partner needs to see trust and this is what they’ll show. However, they could have trouble believing anything their partner says until some consistency is proven or their stories checked out with other people.
Luckily, in Cancer’s world there is often nothing that ugly and secretive to find, for their moral values are as high as the exaltation of Jupiter in their sign. For as long as Cancer feels Capricorn’s devotion, they will not question their actions. This is why Cancer could easily sense their partner’s lack of trust, pretend that they didn’t notice, and find it endearing rather than repulsive.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
This is a couple that has the strangest thing in common – genetics. Not literally, of course, but they often share their image of a relationship their distant relatives had, maybe centuries ago. There is information in our emotional body, about each emotion our ancestors have felt and didn’t know how to deal with or how to use. This is where Cancer and Capricorn connect, as signs of the family we come from, and the family we will create.
These partners could feel like they have known each other before they’ve actually met. Their mutual affection will seem familiar and warm, as if they grew up in a same house, even though their circumstances might be completely different. This could make them able to talk about anything, for there is closeness to the relationship of these two signs that is unexplainable to all others.
However, if this emotional bonding doesn’t come at first impulse, Capricorn could be very difficult to talk to from Cancer’s perspective. They need to connect on a very deep level, or they will have opposite goals and Capricorn could seem like a career obsessed lunatic with no emotion what so ever, while Cancer could seem like a clingy housewife (no matter if male or female). They should both remember that if they see each other in this negative light, they are probably only hiding from their own, inner opposite side, dismissing the chance to be complete.
EMOTIONS
Cancer and Capricorn are a love story their ancestors had, waiting to be resolved. Although this could sound like a dream come true and could in fact create very strong emotions in both partners, there is almost always a karmic debt to be repaid before they could say they are truly happy together. These signs represent the axis of Jupiter’s exaltation and fall and it is important to understand that their emotional states are closely linked to their expectations from each other and their relationship.
These two are considered one of the most and one of the least emotional signs of the zodiac. One of them should be family oriented and the other turned to their career. Still, their emotions often run wild as soon as they lay eyes on each other. In time, they will both fight for security and stability of their relationship, and although it might be hard for them to reconcile these primal emotional differences, they will in most cases simply – find a way.
The emotional depth of Capricorn is really hard to reach, but Cancer partner can approach this as their life challenge. When they get tied to each other, it is almost impossible for them not to get married, have children and the entire earthly love package. Still, they could take so much of each other’s energy if they tried to change each other. It is best for them to accept each other’s personalities as inevitable and impossible to change. This could lead to a more sensible future than the one in which they are both simply tired of each other.
VALUES
They both value stability and practical sense. As opposing signs, they can seem to have opposing values, but this is not really the case. They both need stability in their lives and will value people who give them the sense of security. This is probably something they will value most in each other, the ability of both not to quit or give up, however hard things might get.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
Cancer is not very picky when it comes to activity choices their partner has, for as long as they are not imposed on them or too aggressive for their taste. Capricorn is careful and will plan their activities well in advance, so both of them will have time to adjust to the idea or change their minds if they realize that this is not what they want. It will be very easy for them to agree on what they want to do together and find such activities, only if they respect each other’s personalities. Capricorn will not want to go shopping for house decorations, no more than Cancer will want to go three nights without sleep just because of a project at work. If they respect each other’s boundaries, their time spent together should be truly satisfying for both.
SUMMARY
Cancer and Capricorn are usually bound to relive the love story of someone who lived before their time. This deeply seeded need to mend what is broken in our family tree is something we all carry within, but these Sun signs are predestined to handle karmic debts and residue emotions from their families. They will have to deal with problems first if they want to be free of the past, and only after they have repaid what needed to be repaid, will they be able to truly choose one another. In most cases this is a once in a lifetime love for both partners, and they will probably choose each other without a doubt.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
A sexual relationship between Cancer and Aquarius can be stressful for both partners. Although Cancer is considered the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, governed by the Moon, they can be quite rough and distant when they feel the need to set strong boundaries. Aquarius, on the other hand, is known as an innovator, someone to make the change, but in fact, they are a fixed sign, pretty set in their ways and as a paradox – unchangeable.
When they engage in sexual activity, Cancer could be so stressed that they will have to set those boundaries and Aquarius will not be able to make the needed change to be gentler to their Cancer partner. There is too much energy in Aquarius that needs to be grounded through their physical activity and this includes sex. Cancer doesn’t really understand this and is convinced that in sexual relations with someone you love only emotions should be shared.
If Aquarius finds a way to slow down and not force anything on their partner, and if Cancer allows their rational mind to take over for some of the time they spend together, they might share an exciting sexual experience. Cancer will bring emotions and tenderness to their sex life and Aquarius won’t ever let boring routine take over. If they compromise on experimenting and emotional exchange, they could even start having fun.
TRUST
Cancer is usually loyal and honest, except in situations when they are scared of the aggressive reaction of their loved one, or of hurting them badly. With Aquarius, they might feel stressed to share things and this could present a both way issue when it comes to trust. The liberal nature of Aquarius could seem crazy to a Cancer, and their partner’s honesty about their craziness won’t help the inner feeling of mistrust for their possible actions. It is a complicated thing for them, because none of them wants to lie, but still they don’t seem to trust the future they might share.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
Cancer and Aquarius are able to join forces in intellectual activity. The mind of a Cancer is sensitive enough to pay attention to details and interpersonal relationships when Aquarius fails to do so. They could make grand ideas come true, especially those that need a lot of people involved on their way to become real.
However, they might have trouble talking to one another in the same tone or understanding each other in the first place. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the fastest heavenly body in the sky, but they are not fast to recognize what hides behind Aquarius’ words. There is difficulty for Aquarius to express their inner state and this is something Cancer has trouble understanding.
The best beginning of their relationship is guaranteed if Aquarius sees their Cancer partner as a weird human being that needs to be examined. This will allow them both enough space to get to know each other well, and this could influence all other areas of their relationship. If this happens, Aquarius will approach those strange activities Cancer needs as if they weren’t ordinary at all. After all, not everyone can drink a morning coffee in total silence with their partner and enjoy this silence as much as these partners can.
EMOTIONS
The unconventional nature of Aquarius interferes with Cancer’s need to stay in a peaceful environment, and this is something they will find hardest to reconcile. That homey, cozy feeling Cancer needs can be deeply disturbed by the rebellious Air sign of Aquarius. They will bring stress and too much information in their life, and speed that cannot be handled by a subtle state of deep empathy Cancer has to live with daily.
The way they show love is very different, but it can be wonderfully focused on their kids and the family they build if they get to this point. There is no sign in the zodiac predestined for a family life such as Cancer. In a relationship with Aquarius, they would take over the most of everyday activities and responsibilities. In return, their children would get a childhood without boundaries and a life of free choices that no other couple can give. This is a consequence of the difference between them and the tolerance they have to build in order to stay together.
When they do fall in love, they will not be so quick to end their relationship. Aquarius will approach it as a kind of challenge and understand the stability and love they get from this partner. Cancer will realize that they have never been this free to actually be themselves instead of living in a symbiotic relationship they are easily sucked into. Once they form a strong bond, it will be very hard for both of them to let it go.
VALUES
Cancer values knowledge almost as much as Aquarius values information. This is a fine connection between their worlds and if it is nurtured it could be just enough for them not to be set apart by other values they hold on to. Cancer does value stability, intimacy and family, while Aquarius values their freedom, intellect and new technology. There is a difference between their worlds that might seem impossible to overcome, but if they hold on to their love of distances and travel or if they learn together, they could easily get over the fact that their values on other things differ so much.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
While Cancer will want to stay at home, go for a picnic in the park or to a furniture store, Aquarius will look for the highest skyscraper, wish for a new laptop and read anything that falls into their hands. The key activity that could truly connect them is travel. Although Cancer seems homey and unmovable, this is not exactly true. Due to the fact that it is a sign of Jupiter’s exaltation, they will want to travel far. Aquarius will always want to board a plane and it would be perfect if they could parachute to a location where Cancer would safely land in a Boeing 747.
SUMMARY
We could say that Cancer and Aquarius are not your usual happy couple in most cases. Their relationship can be too stressful for Cancer partner and the lack of intimacy will most probably tear them apart. However, the link between them can actually be wonderful when found, and they could open up such interesting new perspectives for one another if this happens. They both want to learn new things and could travel far if a strong base is made at home, so Cancer can remain peaceful.
For this couple to move in a positive direction, Aquarius needs to understand how unusual their partner is, and try to experiment on being homey while having fun. Cancer will have to take over the main set of responsibilities to hold on to the idea of their home as a base from which they can move wherever they want. In the end, Cancer might discover an unbelievable joy of freedom and Aquarius might develop closeness. If these partners can be silent together, sipping on their morning coffee, this is in most cases the first step to success.
SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY
Cancer and Pisces are almost always brought together by a romantic love. Their sexual connection is usually primarily emotional. Pisces partner might seem a bit weird and kinky to Cancer, but they should have a feel for each other, strong enough for both of them to enrich their sexual relationship with their own quality.
Cancer will bring intimacy into their sex life and the meaning behind the act. They will nurture their partner and care about their pleasure, giving them a stable and a safe approach to a healthy sex life. Pisces will bring in change, creativity, inspiration and probably a lot of sensuality due to the fact that this is the sign that exalts Venus. The beauty of this connection is in the emotion they share and the way they cherish each other and respect each other’s sensitivity.
Their main problem might arise because Cancer can be somewhat traditional when it comes to sex and Pisces partner doesn’t really understand this. Pisces’ need to connect and feel love is larger than any sort of rule humankind might have made for love. However, in most cases they will be tender enough to inspire their Cancer partner to let go of their rigid attitudes and shame, and give in to the beauty of sexual exchange of emotions.
TRUST
It is a good thing that Cancer is usually not aggressive or pushy, or they could easily get dishonesty from Pisces as a response to their tendency to create intimacy and a happy home at any cost. Pisces don’t really understand marriage except as a part of a fairytale ending or because of all that lace, and Cancer will usually want a wedding as a crowning of a loving relationship. This could be recognized as pressure to some point and this could lead to Pisces partner getting scared.
When Pisces get scared, they somehow fail to tell the truth even on silly things in their life, because they feel the need to distance themselves from any pressure they might feel. It is a good thing that Cancer understands this and easily separates lies from intimacy. Whatever the situation, they will both probably be patient enough to have just enough trust in one another for their relationship to work out.
COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT
As changeable as Pisces are, they always have something to talk about. This can be inspiring or irritating to Cancer who would maybe rather deal with “real information”. Usually they communicate just fine, but there are situations in which they could float away on an idea made out of words. Cancer is looking for someone with clarity on the use and the practicality of everything they mention. Pisces is everything but focused on practicality in most everyday situations.
If Pisces partner learns to be more silent, relying on their feelings, and starts fighting for what they wish for, they could sweep their Cancer off their feet. Unfortunately, their entire relationship will not last very long if only words are spoken but deeds don’t follow. Cancer’s opposing sign is after all – Capricorn, and they need a partner able to constructively use things, situations and emotions.
EMOTIONS
Cancer can understand the sensitive nature of their Pisces partner better than anyone else. Everything that seems easygoing and positive might have a hidden negative note in the Pisces world, and Cancer feels rather than listens, which makes them a perfect companion for someone like Pisces. When they sense this deep understanding, Pisces partner will return the favor by absolute tenderness and finally open up to their Cancer partner. When they find this shared point of intimacy where true emotions are shared, this will affect all other segments of their relationship and be a fuel for it to have a fairytale ending.
VALUES
This is where the difference in their character really comes to focus. As much as they will both value being loved and cared for, Cancer will value a stable emotional situation and a cozy home to come to, while Pisces will probably value any chance for an emotional rollercoaster more. It is often said that Pisces idealize partners and different things in life, but in fact they get depressed when there is no magic and perfect beauty surrounding them. If their day to day life with a Cancer partner becomes anything similar to a boring routine, they will find a way to run off, find a lover or create any sort of truly exciting circumstances.
SHARED ACTIVITIES
When they meet and start their relationship, they will probably have a lot of things to do together. A relationship with a Pisces partner is always exciting and inspirational, and Cancer will give it strength, stability and roots. At the beginning, this may seem like a great arrangement, but in time, Pisces might want too much activity for what Cancer partner really needs. This wouldn’t be much of a problem if they would say this to their partner without fear of any one of them getting hurt. If they start bending the truth, Cancer will feel their trust beginning to fade and this could begin a series on problems between them, that could have been easily avoided.
SUMMARY
As two Water signs, Cancer and Pisces connect through emotions, usually as soon as they lay eyes on each other. This is one of the typical combinations of zodiac signs for love at first sight. Their main challenge is hidden in the changeable nature of the sign of Pisces, not because it is there, but because they might fear to show it. Their biggest problem lies in the fact that they give priority to different types of love in their life. If passion and sensual, sexual love isn’t there, Pisces will rarely be satisfied with the love they get from their family, and Cancer would find a life without a family nest very depressing. A fine balance needs to be made between excitement and stability, and they could be one of the most wonderful couples of the zodiac – Cancer inspired and Pisces with a feel of home.
