Answer 1

CANCER FEMALE

You need to be handled with tender loving care and you will turn away from an excessively aggressive man. You're the type of woman that will sacrifice anything and everything for your family and you'll also go all out for your mate. You love to be romanced and praised for all the little extras you provide. You love to cuddle and hug and can not be happy living with someone who is cool, detached and not interested in contributing to family.

Your sensitive nature can be difficult to deal with. You are often misunderstood at an emotional level You need a mate that can understand your tenderness

LEO MALE

You are extremely attractive to women. You are easily noticed in a crowd and you usually get a lot of attention. You are a showman, flashy and flamboyant. You can be careless at times, however you are also a master at covering up mistakes or anything else. You love and admire beautiful women, but your mate must not outshine you in any manner. You prefer your female to be reserved so as not to steal your thunder. You are an extrovert, you love to laugh, you are generous, outgoing and you love the best of everything. You have a high opinion of yourself and you want your mate to feed your ego.

Cancer and Leo
Cancer has to get used to Leo's extroverted exuberance. Otherwise, generous, openhearted, strong Leo is just what insecure Cancer is looking for. Cancer's marvelous intuitions tell it exactly how to handle proud and flamboyant Leo. Admiration and a lot of flattery are what are needed to keep Leo purring with contentment. Leo is domineering in the bedroom and a little too forthright sexually for Cancer. But Leo's sunny disposition is a wonderful antidote for Cancer's moodiness.

Both of you take life very personally, probably more personally than you realize. Your feelings and your pride are easily wounded by criticism or lack of appreciation from the people you care about. There can be an unusually warm loving bond between you, though your temperaments are quite different. Leo is very proud and wants recognition, appreciation, respect, and love from a partner. Cancer wants to be needed and desires sympathy, tenderness, and emotional support from a partner. Leo has difficulty accepting and expressing needs, sadness, or weakness, and is uncomfortable when Cancer expresses doubts, insecurities, weaknesses, or moodiness. Leo is the more dominant of the two of you and is likely to take the lead in your relationship, which is fine with Cancer, who has no need to be on top.

Cancer Woman & Leo Man
This match has very good prospects for turning into lasting love. Leo boys are very generous, both with their things and with their emotions. He’ll give you all the attention and affection you need to feel secure. He will even make you feel special. Leo boys are also very strong and confident and they like to take charge in a relationship, which you will enjoy. It’s great to sit back and be loved while he makes all the decisions! You are loving and given to flattering your boyfriends, and that is exactly the kind of praise and attention that a Leo craves. This is a very good match that has high hopes for becoming a lasting union.

Cancer girl demands loyalty and respect from her partner, and there is no more willing participant than Leo boy. He'll do practically anything to make you happy, from fetching a soy latte for you while you do some late night cramming for a test, to hanging with you while you look after a sibling on prime date night.

And all the while, you'll both have fun

Answer 2

Usually this is a good combination, since the Moon (Cancer) reflects the light of the Sun (Leo). There is a lot to be said for these two, especially if Cancer will be happy reflecting the admirable Leonian personality. Leo's huge heart will soon forgive the moody outbursts that Cancer shows from time to time and which result from the strong influence of the Moon, Cancer's ruling planet. Cancer more than any other sign, responds to the moon's aspects as it moves swiftly through the zodiac.Cancer will feel a bit more enthused around Leo and will probably let Leo run things or at least let them think they are in charge and hey! what's the difference. Leo will appreciate cancer's attention and as long as cancer can forget that they feel neglected at times when Leo is out running the world, there is a chance this could work.

Answer 3

Cancer Man & Leo Woman This relationship has about a sixty-percent chance of working. It all depends on the personalities involved and how hard your guy is willing to work at the relationship. You want passion and drama in a love relationship. Cancer boys are totally mushy and they are very lovey-dovey with their girlfriends. If he is confident enough to give you the adoration and compliments you require, this can work out. You will be both have to be very sensitive, though, about the other’s sore spots. He is suspicious and you will have to pull him along on your adventures so he can see they’re just about innocent fun. It’s not a perfect match, but it could work with some care and effort. ( Source: Jellybean's Astro-Soulmate Guide ) Yes, Leo girl, sometimes opposites attract, and if ever there was such a case, it's with Cancer boy. He's a homebody that loves mom and creating comfort; you're ready to go out at the drop of a hat. You can both be moody at times, but if you understand that no one can be right 100% of the time, you'll get along famously.

Answer 4

Any relationship can work. You just cant tell whether or not youll be together from the stars. But i did research for you:

When you first meet a Leo, they can seem confident and outgoing. As someone who is shy and withdrawn, Crab, your Lion excites and inspires you. Don't be fooled by your Leo's booming roar and powerful charisma, though. Deep down, he or she is just a tender pussycat who wants to be scratched behind the ear. In fact, you and your Leo love are more alike than you think. You are both cautious when it comes to love, and you both require tons of affection. Your partner wants to feel adored - always - and you just might be the one to make that Leonine dream a reality

Answer 5

Cancer and Leo

When you step to centre-stage with Leo the Lion, it's a cosmic case of light and dark, day meets night. Sensual Cancer, a Water Sign, is governed by the changing Moon, ruler of the night, while dramatic Leo, a Fire Sign, is ruled by the steadfast Sun, the brilliant Day Star. The sexual energy burns hot, at least in the beginning, for Fire and Water make a steamy connection. Cancer is creative, yet deeply emotional and quite tender at heart, despite having a tough shell, while Leo is bold and generous, big-hearted yet ego-centric.

Both of you are quite romantic, but this imaginative path for growth takes quite different directions for each of you. You long for a relationship to be meaningful and fulfilling, but the Lion prefers it to be exciting, a glorious challenge. The Big Cat loves to shine amidst a circle of admirers, but you seek to hold on to emotional attachments. Of course you are happy to adore the steadfast Lion, and in return the King of Beasts will supply the warm-hearted security you need.

Leo's ability to handle the risk and to hold a steady course, combined with Cancer's creativity and emotional power, can make a good working connection, but you need to develop mutual goals and work together on projects you can share, so that your divergent energies can be put to work instead of degenerating into jealousy on the one hand and restlessness on the other. You have a deft understanding of finances and are good with money, but the Lion cares little for thrift. Fly now, pay later is very much the regal motto.

Leo, a Fixed sign, has endless determination, but requires a steady diet of worship and admiration, so unless you are prepared to supply this dish, the Lion will look elsewhere for love to lap up. Leo's emotions are wide open, on display for all the world to see, but Cancer's warm, responsive nature can be dampened by the Lion's need for attention and to be always surrounded by an admiring crowd.

The real issue will be Leo's ceaseless desire for social brilliance (which usually means spending big) versus your own need for domestic security and a quiet life at home. Your willingness to play second fiddle pleases the Lion, who will graciously allow you to follow the regal lead. Given harmonious Moon placements, this can be a satisfying, though often combative match that can survive in the long term

Dont worry what the stars say, ur heart will tell u, just take ur time and dont jump into anything too quick.

Re the aboves persons answer. I am a picean and everything u read about piceans is me 100% I am a big guy with a big heart but with a heart that can easily be broken.

I have been married to my wife who is an aries, for 20 years and 6 months and We have never regreted a single day, we married till death us do part, only thing is I am disabled and one of my probs is kidney failure, i am saying no more about it but I will be by her side for as long as God lets me and I can fight all my disabilities etc.

Answer 7

The relationship will work out much better if you forget all about signs. The exact time a person is born has absolutely nothing to do with his personality.
If you believe strongly in astrology, you'll be looking of signs in each other's personality, and blame them on any differences you might have.
Twenty five hundred years ago astrology was outlawed in Rome because it was messing up peoples lives. Not-to-schmart people still believe in it. Give up superstitions, and enjoy life.

Answer 8

I'm Leo, and my sister is Cancer!

Anyway, they can get on great, they make an awesome team, but cancer can get annoyed with Cancer, and Cancer might clash with Leo, because we're very bossy! =D

Answer 9

Leo and Cancer is a very good match as far as I know! I'm a cancer myself..... cancer also goes very well with pisces, scorpio, capricorn.... ooh but stay away from sagittarius! (in relationships)

Answer 10

I am a Leo, not because of astrology. Personality is not determined by what stars you're born under. "Leo's" are known to be courageous, sensitive, and aggressive. But why don't you get to know the person before you discard them because of a "sign"?
