Cancer is the Fourth Sign of the Zodiac. Its name derives from the Latin "cancer...literally "the crab." Cancer individuals are "tried and true." They tend to cling to tradition as though they were a part of it, yet their moods and even their purposes may become as changeable as this Sign's ruling celestial body...the Moon. Thus, such self-contradiction is understandable, given that it is part of the Cancer person's innate nature. Much like their representative symbol, the Crab, Cancers are well protected on the outside but are prone to be soft on the inside. They are good at sustaining others and appear to have a mission to take care of not only people in and of themselves, but also their means of making a living. The association of this Sign with water dates back to the very emergence of astrology itself and is Babylonian in origin. In Egypt, Cancer was represented by two turtles known as the "Stars of the Water" and occasionally as an obscure aquatic creature known as Allul. Perhaps more than any other Sign, Cancer is symbolic of the passive, receptive but profoundly powerful and emcompassing female force in nature...the all-nourishing or all-devouring mother. The Crab itself is associated with the sea...the cradle of life. Those born under the Sign of Cancer should strive to find a safe haven in which their exquisite sensitivity can bloom and flourish. If this is not achieved, then they will find themselves dominated by the prickly and grasping aspect of the Cancer personality.
The origin of the symbol...or glyph...of Cancer has been given diverse interpretations. Some sources describe it as a representation of the breasts, an area of the anatomy ruled by Cancer and which is also indicative of the inherent nurturing nature of this Sign. Other sources liken the glyph to a pair of crab claws, intertwined in such a manner as to represent the dual nature of the Cancer individual. In this latter interpretation, it could well be considered similar to the Asian symbol of the Yin and the Yang. In Vedic Astrology, this glyph signifies the Womb of Time, in which all manifestation takes place and is symbolic of the caring qualities associated with motherhood, as well as spiritual creativity.
Also known as the Sign of the Prophet or Teacher, Cancer is Negative in polarity (as are Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). The general characteristics of Negative Signs lean toward introversion and prefer to draw upon personal resources rather than look for external stimuli. Such individuals are naturally more receptive, sensitive and nurturing than are the Zodiac Signs of Positive polarity (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius). However, Negative Signs are also likely to be much more cautious, retiring and standoffish than their Positive counterparts with a tendency to keep personal feelings under tight control. Taurus is the most introverted of the Negative Signs (with Virgo a close second).
All Zodiac Signs governed by the Elements of Earth and Water are considered to be Feminine in nature. Thus, Cancer (ruled by water) is considered Feminine (as are Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). Feminine Signs are traditionally conceived as being more receptive and less active than their Masculine counterparts which are ruled by the Elements of Fire and Air (the Zodiac Signs of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius). Feminine Signs focus primarily on the emotional and material world with particular attention to sensitivity and depth of feeling. Feminine Signs are said to be noctural or night-oriented. Therefore, the term "feminine" should be viewed in the same light as the Yin (or dark) Polarity of the Tao.
Cancer is the natural ruler of the Fourth House of the Zodiac, commonly referred to as the "House of Family and Home" and known in Vedic Astrology as the "Subterraneous Place." This is the field which represents the childhood home and all that such implies. It is the place of an individual's deepest personal roots. It is also the house of tradition and the location of a person's most intimate and ingrained nurturing. In addition, this house is the place of human ending..."from dust we come and to dust we go," thus completing the mortal circle. The Fourth House has been classified as the "Womb of Eternity," where all things come into being and pass out of being at the appointed time. It is the House of Genesis and also of Nemesis. This house contains the basic and symbolic foundation of an individual...the side of a person that decorates and maintains a home, deciding what such a home will look like and how much privacy will be needed. The Fourth House also deals with matters of real estate but most importantly, it is the house where emotional memories are stored and from which an individual operates on a subconscious level. The Fourth House is governed by the Planet Moon...not truly a "planet," but classified as such for the purposes of continuity in the Science of Astrology.
The opposite sign to Cancer is Capricorn. From Capricorn, Cancer can learn to get things into a proper perspective and take a realistic view of life. Thus, can Cancer natives learn how to make good judgments.

Love Compatibility
The actions of Cancer natives are governed by feelings and emotions that are both strong and out-rushing. When these individuals love, they love forever. The extremely tough outer shell makes it difficult for others to truly penetrate the heart of a Cancer person but once such is achieved, the loved one becomes pampered, adored and likely to be the focus of Cancer's feelings and moods. It is instinctive in the Cancer character to nourish and dote upon the object of the heart and this can be all-encompassing in virtually every way. Traditional and home-oriented by nature, the Cancer male prefers to follow the proper rules of courtship...to fall in love and then make the arrangement a permanent one. Likewise, the Cancer female is prone to wait until her partner makes the move...regardless of how strong her own feelings might be. There is no other Zodiac Sign that can equal the intensity of a Cancer native's love, but such love is based upon the heart and is also maternally oriented rather than sexually oriented, with its worse tendency to be smothering. A Cancer native who feels insecure in a relationship is liable to become demanding...either sulking and hurt in silent fashion or making it verbally plain as to what is wrong and why. The outer shell protects Cancer from giving too soon and often, those ruled by this Sign will hold onto a loved one with a tenacious grip that may be almost impossible to break. Still, the actions of Cancer will always be driven by a true depth of feeling and the object of desire will constantly hold a cherished spot in the Cancer heart, even long after the relationship has ended. In terms of protection, Cancer possesses a fierce and loyal strength that cannot be surpassed. In the romantic arena, physical contact is not definable without emotions for those governed by this Sign. They must feel something with relative strength for their truest feelings to emerge. These are tender souls who are essentially partner oriented and very concerned with pleasing their mates, perceiving the returning emotions as nurturing proof of the partner's love. For Cancer individuals, the sexual act is attached to all things which mean security, loyalty and truth of the heart. Their needs are apt to fluctuate in accordance with their moods and emotional state. The same can be said for their intensity and level of desire. Nonetheless, a Cancer native who is in love and feels secure will intuitively understand as much and regard same as the joyful gift that it is.
Emotional and possessing great depth, Cancer individuals are endowed with a dreamy and imaginative quality that makes any love affair more of a romantic venture than a physical attraction. These natives can be swept off their feet by love, but are still perfectly capable of making a wise long term commitment and putting earlier and less suitable potental partners out of their minds when the time comes to choose a mate. There is a definite charm here and those governed by this Sign often attract others romantically without being aware of the fact, which can result in the breaking of hearts. Although Cancer individuals are emotional, they can sometimes be somewhat unsympathetic when it comes to other people's problems...not so much from coldness as from the will to preserve themselves from unnecessary danger. Indeed, they are frequently rather grateful for the inherent tough outer shell and will scuttle away from romantic showdowns as fast as they are able. This is a Sign that can also be tactless in love...unaware of the other partner's needs until attention is drawn to them. Still, natives of Cancer are invariably full of good intentions and would certainly never inflict hurt on purpose. It should be noted that the happiness of those ruled by Cancer must come from within. These are persons who suffer much from relatives, friends and loved ones...their sicknesses or troubles...and although healthy and independent of spirit themselves, Cancer natives are often in touch with life's problems through others, despite the desire to run away. The Cancer individual who chooses the wrong partner will be a very unhappy soul and this state of misery is liable to reign for a long time, since this is a person who rarely has the courage to admit that he or she made a mistake. However, with the right partner, the Cancer native will find that success, contentment and fulfilment follow as a natural course of events.
It will be necessary for a potential mate to provide both the feeling and obvious presence of security in order to achieve longevity with a Cancer native. Having a place which, in the classical sense, is a home will be of paramount importance to those governed by this Sign...they must receive support and help in finding, maintaining and improving their "nests." In addition, those ruled by Cancer must be made to feel most welcome and at home in a potential partner's residence when they come to visit. For instance, the potential mate could prepare and serve a good meal...or allow the Cancer native the pleasure of preparing something palatable. However, it is important not to be remiss in offering sincere compliments about the Cancer expertise in any culinary efforts. In addition, points may be earned by stating nice things (or even bragging) about the Cancer native's family and home. A relationship with those governed by Cancer is sure to be short-lived if anything that is emotionally or materially meaningful is taken away...even on a temporary basis. To do so is comparable to removing a stone from the foundation of a building. Thus, a potential mate must always be guarded in what he or she says because the words...however unintentional...might be almost as painful as piercing arrows. Cancer works extremely hard to maintain an overall sense of security and unkind or thoughtless comments can cause these natives to quickly withdraw into their protective shell for fear that some additional damage will be done to their self-image. Most importantly, criticism should never be voiced regarding a Cancer individual's mother or other members of the family.
When it comes to long term commitments, Cancer individuals who are in solid and secure relationships can easily support the nuances of such partnerships since it is inherent in their character to nourish and supplement the changing nature of the union. Nevertheless, it will be important for any mate to understand the emotional vulnerability of this Sign and the manner in which those who fall under its jurisdiction cope with the situation via built-in defense mechanisms. It cannot be denied that Cancer individuals are prone to a certain moodiness and such is the way they can learn to bend and flow and provide what is needed to nurture those around them. The more a partner leans to enhance the Cancer ability to detach from what is transpiring and learn the truth of personal power which results in emotional freedom, then the less this natural moodiness will manifest in overt ways. Nevertheless, a long-term commitment is often a hazardous step for those governed by this Sign and should be deferred until it is felt that such natives have complete control over the fickleness and inconsistancy that besets them.
The Cancer male is basically a kind-hearted and sympathetic soul...one who is always willing to share. However, he is endowed with a natural feeling of inferiority, which has absolutely nothing to do with his educational level, accomplishments, success or income. If the man governed by Cancer cannot come to grips with this shadowy aspect of his character, then he will be prone to frequently talk about himself...turning any conversation until if focuses on him. By nature, he is very nervous beneath the surface, but may appear calm and contented on the outside. To achieve happiness with a Cancer male, it will be necessary for a potential mate to smother him with an abundance of affection and constant attention...ensuring that he feels his home is truly his castle. This man makes for an excellent partner, assuming that there are unending appeals to his emotional side and his generosity. Empathy, appreciation, encouragement and attention...particularly in the romantic arena...are the keys to this man's true nature. He has the ability to earn large sums of money and will be a good provider. Generally speaking, Cancer males are not necessarily the easiest of individuals to love but, behind that hard shell lays a heart that is essentially soft. An outright idealist who expects to make his own mistakes, this man will be totally thrown should his partner do the same. Even though this is a sensitive and peace-loving individual, the man ruled by Cancer does enjoy a good family feud from time-to-time, believing that it serves to clear the air. But, should someone outside his family attack anyone he loves, then he will always stand ready for battle. The biggest challenge here will be dealing with the Cancer moodiness, which is composed of fragments of his deepest feelings, character, hopes and dreams. If he is caught in the act of daydreaming, it is important to allow him his reverie for this male needs dreams in order to be the highly successful provider that he is. Above all, a potential mate should never approach the Cancer male in search of sympathy when he is in one of his moods. To do so can accomplish nothing. An excellent partner and father to his children, the Cancer male should be absolutely certain about a future mate prior to embarking on a long term relationship. This is a man who should not commit too early in life, but needs to wait until he has learned to control his emotions...as well as determining what he wishes to do with himself when he grows up. For a relationship to last, it will be necessary for any mate to recognize that this man likes to be left alone, without question, when he feels the need to sort out the world's problems and his own. Flattery never works with the Cancer male unless there is a genuine desire to please him and no attempt on the part of any mate to achieve personal ends. He can be deeply hurt, so restraint must be used with regard to any quick or thoughtless criticism and/or reproof. This is an attractive man, although he seldom believes such to be the case. Thus, his ego needs boosting at all times.
The Cancer female is truly affectionate and kind. She will be devoted to family and friends and is inherently very sentimental and charitable...particularly where illness or trouble is concerned. However, unless completely satisfied with her position in life, which includes an active and monogamous physical relationship, this woman can become inconsistent and fickle. Here, there is a combination of loneliness and loveliness. More than anything else, the Cancer female desires security. Her home is not only her castle, but also a moated fortress which stands against all the trials and tribulations of the world. Indeed, this need for feeling safe is so strong that if a partner cannot provide it, the Cancer woman is certain to stray and begin to look elsewhere...but if such is furnished, then she will be incredibly faithful, loyal and charming. Domestication means everything to this female, which is not to say that she is so much into material things. Rather, she rather wishes to share everything with her mate and her house and home are symbolic of this desire. Blessed with a highly developed sense of intuition, it is impossible to keep secrets from this woman or conceal an interest in someone else. Not only will she know in advance when something important is about to happen, she also in some strange way knows what her partner is doing...with whom, as well as where and when. In short, the woman ruled by Cancer is nobody's fool. Above all else, this female requires constant assurance that she is loved, which could mean devoting more time to the romantic arena that a partner may be accustomed to. In order to achieve happiness with this woman, it will be necessary to constantly appeal to her loving nature and emotions. Under no circumstances should she ever be belittled or subjected to scorn and/or sarcasm. In addition, it would be unwise to criticize this female, even if it is felt that such comments are necessary and helpful. The Cancer woman is naturally supersensitive and can all too easily develop an inferiority complex if her attention is called to some peculiarity she may possess. One such idiosyncrasy is likely to be the tendency to collect, rescue and save things that others would probably consider to be totally useless items. Stray pets...and possibly even stray people...could well find their way to this woman's doorstep. When contented and secure, the Cancer female makes for an excellent partner and a loving mother...one who will sacrifice anything and everything for those she loves. The Cancer woman may well consider a committed relationship as something of a status symbol and is essentially a feminine soul who will undoubtedly seek a partner with very masculine traits. For a relationship to last, it will be necessary for any mate to realize that the moods of a woman governed by Cancer are changeable. She must be treated with love and ruled with an iron fist in a velvet glove. It is important to respect this female's opinions and views and avoid arguments as much as possible...particularly over trivial matters since any partner is probably destined to come off worst. She appears to have more self-confidence that she truly possesses, so it will be necessary to provide her with constant reassurance.
Positive Aspects Of Cancer In Love:
Loyal - Supportive - Nurturing - Compassionate - Caring - Dedicated - Faithful - Tender - Pampering - Adoring
Negative Aspects Of Cancer In Love:
Possessive - Jealous - Moody - Volatile - Controlling - Dependent - Prone To Depression
Romantic Style:
Protective - Sensitive - Sentimental - Tender
Cancer natives are wonderfully caring and yearn to look after their partners. However, their own emotional tensions frequently result in something of a sulky attitude. In addition, a mate may find the affections of Cancer to be a little suffocating at times. In general, Cancer needs to be encouraged and coaxed in terms of pysical intimacy. It will be necessary for any mate to be homely and nurturing...but any nagging needs to be kept to a minimum. Responsive to kindness, a word of cheer and encouragement works wonders with those governed by Cancer. They are usually gentle in the area of romance and need to be supplied with an abundance of security.
The Aries individual may experience some trouble in trying to break through the protective shell of a Cancer native. Those governed by Cancer tend to hide their feelings inside and may project to the world at large a somewhat false image of being thicker-skinned than they truly are. Eventually, if the Aries individual does manage to penetrate the outer shell, then he or shee will find an extremely sensitive person with feelings that are easily damaged. Initially, Cancer will be attracted to Aries courtesy of this Sign's strong personality, but within a short time, the Cancer native comes to realize just how different the value system is between them. In addition, the fiery love of Aries may well cause Cancer to wonder exactly how long real love can last with such intensity. Being prone to moodiness and easily hurt to the point where the Cancer subject may pout for days does not sit well with the direct and energetic character of Aries, who thrives on activity and new beginnings. The quiet outer facade of a Cancer native was most likely the chief attraction for Aries, since this individual is a go-getter and likes to have a tranquil place to recover in peace. Cancer is essentially a homebody who wants a large family and the Aries individual might not be ready for such a scenario for quite some time. Thus, the Cancer partner will begin to lose interest in the sexual act since secretly, Cancer does believe that sex is for procreation. This is an attitude that will rapidly cause the Aries native to seek elsewhere for a partner. Energetic, sociable and forward-looking, the Aries native will find it difficult to adapt to the desires of home-loving, protective and nurturing Cancer, who likes to be the leader and will spend more time sulking than talking unless he or she is allowed to make most of the decisions. Given the differences and clash in personalities here, this could be a shaky union at best.
A Cancer/Aries love affair is essentially a case of "opposites attract." Aries individuals are rash and brash while Cancer individuals are sensitive and emotional. Aries can certainly be emotional, but in a fiery and impetuous way that can totally overwhelm the Cancer native. Although Cancer prefers to take time with relationships, he or she will probably find the Aries whirlwind approach to be exceedingly stimulating. In turn, Aries will undoubtedly regard the Cancer sensitivity to be appealing...it is a good balance for the typical Aries bluntness. However, trouble may arise if Cancer's mood swings or the aggression of Aries becomes hurtful. Here, each party must take time to listen to the needs of the other and understand that they are coming from different directions to meet a common goal. Cancer is indicative of home while Aries is indicative of self. Still, one magnificent dynamic shared by this pair is that both will be fiercely protective of those they love. Cancer individuals use their shells to draw around themselves, family and mate when trouble threatens. Aries individuals use strength and bravery for the same purpose...rather like a knight in shining armor. Cancer will provide Aries with a happy domestic life and emotional security. However, there is sometimes a tendency for the Cancer partner to build an idealized image of the Aries mate or be overly-possessive and this can grate horribly on the independent Aries. Still, if the Aries native can reassure the Cancer subject that he or she is loved and cherished, this will help tremedously. In short, Aries truly needs to learn to listen to Cancer, who operates on an instinctive level. In return, the advice given by Cancer can aid the Aries partner to avoid silly mistakes caused by the typical lack of planning inherent in this Sign.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Aries is ruled by the planet Mars . The open and passionate nature of Aries will appeal to Cancer, who often internalizes emotions and feelings. Moreover, those governed by the Moon can possess an intense energy that Aries can help them to release. The Moon controls the tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life...similarly Cancer works behind the scenes. In addition, Cancer tends to be sentimental and can teach Aries to slow down and appreciate life instead of constantly rushing to the next thing on the agenda. Cancer is governed by the element of Water while Aries is governed by the element of Fire. This can be a magnificent combination if the parties work together...using both action and emotion to get things accomplished. Cancer can help Aries to be more gentle and Aries can teach a Cancer native how to emerge from his or her shell. But, Cancer can be emotionally manipulative and on occasion, there may simply be too much Water which dampens the enthusiasm of Fire. Conversely, too much Fire can cause Water to evaporate, leaving the Cancer partner emotionally raw. Here, it will be necessary for both partners to talk openly and freely in order to ensure that their balance is maintained. Both Aries and Cancer are Cardinal in quality. Hence, both are initiators but will have to learn how to cooperate. Aries is a natural leader, always rushing forth to meet a challenge, but Cancer is also indirectly in charge courtesy of emotional control and the ability to weigh a situation. Cancer tend to compromise somewhat easily while Aries may be unwilling to yield and the Cancer partner may have to accept giving in. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Aries match comes with the realization that they are on the same team...the combination of Fire and Water does work well together. If Aries is out there getting attention and Cancer is quietly supporting the back end, then each partner's ability to provide what the other lacks will make for an equal relationship.
In essence, this combination may experience difficult times in terms of longevity. By nature, Cancer is moody, sentimental and secretive, with a tendency to live in the past. These natives have a hard time forgetting serious conflicts that may happen in a relationship. Plus, the secretive nature has the potential of clashing with the openess associated with those governed by Aries. Here, the first year will be the hardest. If this pair can make it beyond that point, then there is a good chance the union will endure for quite some time.
In this partnership, Cancer will want to understand every nuance of the Taurus personality and will make the Taurus native fell as though he or she is the most important thing in the life of the Cancer individual...however, Cancer will expect the same. This pair share a mutual strength in terms of domestic impulses and will devote much time and effort to a home and children. The Taurus partner will never have to worry about being taken for granted by the quiet and moody Cancer native. Being a dreamer by nature, Cancer is sure to place Taurus on a pedestal and always expect nothing less than perfection. Consequently, when the flaws begin to show, Cancer will become disappointed and retreat into his or her infamous shell. Since Taurus is not the most tactful of Zodiac Signs, he or she will clumsily attempt to coax Cancer's emergence, resulting in the Cancer partner retreating even further. Cancer needs and demands...usually in a pouting manner...a plethera of sympathy and those governed by Taurus do possess a nurturing instinct for providing that. Thus, this pair may get along better than might be expected. On occasion, the nerve of the Cancer partner will fail him or her, but with an abundance of support and backing from the Taurus individual, Cancer should be able to face life...and may even be successful in personal endeavors, should any be tried. This is a union that can and will improve with age and hard work. These are two persons with such different personalities that in many ways, the strength of one partner will lend support to overcome the weakness of the other. The physical side of any relationship for a Cancer native will very much depend on what transpired earlier that same evening. If there was an argument or some other unpleasantness, then Cancer is unlikely to be in the mood for intimacy...and if Taurus is subjected to this type of treatment too often, it will certainly drive a wedge between the couple. Still, if both partners here are willing to give rather than get, this could be a match of some longevity.
Basically, this is usually a very good combination. These Signs are two apart within the Zodiac Wheel and such a position tends to indicate a sharing of karmic ties and a deep mutual understanding. In addition, there is much in common here. Both individuals prize security in a love relationship above almost anything else and both are prone to be nurturers...Cancer being emotionally nurturing while Taurus relishes in spoiling a sweetheart with sensual delights, gifts and excellent meals. Both these Signs are somewhat domestic by nature and thus, will enjoy a quiet night spent at home in each other's company. In short, this has an excellent chance of being a happy union, courtesy of the mutual fondness for security and the comforts of home. In this pairing, there is often found the ideal family that those governed by other Signs of the Zodiac strive to attain. This will be a union that is family-oriented rather than directed toward the outside world. The only major problems likely to arise are if the Taurus partner insists on having his or her own way and Cancer responds by sulking. Thus, it is important that the Taurus native understand Cancer's emotional sensitivity. In turn, the Cancer partner needs to rely on open and honest communication instead of resorting to emotional blackmail.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. Both these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Cancer often keeps emotions bottled up and simmering inside, which can lead to the occasional boil-over and this is probably why Cancer is so attracted to the open, honest and unafraid nature associated with those governed by Taurus. As the Moon controls the tides of Earth, quietly affecting all life, so does Cancer, manipulating things behind the scenes. Natives of Cancer are prone to be sentimental and each partner in this pairing will prefer to enjoy each other rather than socializing with large groups. Cancer is governed by the element of Water while Taurus is governed by the element of Earth. Water and Earth are basically compatible as tangible, physicial energies. Influenced by Water, Cancer is born to nurture those Signs ruled by Earth...akin to manner in which rain nurtures the soil and helps crops to grow. In turn, Taurus has a more stable view of life and is less prone to emotional turmoil. Hence, Taurus can help Cancer stablilize tumultuous feelings. Still, both Signs need to be careful in this relationship. The Taurus partner may tire of Cancer's mood swings, causing the Cancer partner to believe that Taurus is insensitive to his or her needs. Cancer is Cardinal in quality and Taurus is Fixed. The habits of Taurus are well-nigh rigid and an opinion once formed will not be changed. This can provide the Cancer native with an emotional rock since Taurus is totally dedicated to the relationship. In return, the Cancer individual can bring new inspiration to the union, beginning new projects that Taurus will undoubtedly enjoy taking over at a later point in time. Basically, these two make for a steady and reliable team. Both Taurus and Cancer are dependable and nurturing Signs, strongly oriented toward domestic life together. A mutual love of home and security could easily result in an ideal family union of some considerable longevity.
In essence, this combination is a very favorable match. Cancer likes a good home with much affection and this is exactly what Taurus hopes to find when embarking upon a relationship. On the emotional side, there is nothing to stop the prospect of a happy and long term union between this pair. However, it is important that the Taurus partner remember that Cancer is very sensitive and is prone to close within himself or herself if emotionally unhappy.
Initially, a Gemini subject will probably be attracted to Cancer due to the stability and peace-loving nature, coupled with domestic tendencies. The compliments that a Cancer partner regularly delivers will be a large ego-booster to Gemini, who also appreciates the manner in which Cancer responds to his or her sense of humor and fun. If all goes well, then Gemini will learn from Cancer to be more sensitive to the feelings of others and Cancer will adopt the Gemini way of speedy action. Cancer natives are basically home-loving and will be content to remain there, locking the rest of the world outside. On the other hand, being a very sociable soul who enjoys the company of other people, Gemini would soon become restless and angry at such isolation. A Gemini individual has no desire to be a prisoner in his or her own home...indeed, such a life would be unbearable and intolerable. The actions of Cancer are always dicatated by feelings, no matter what the level of intelligence. Thus, there is likely to be much bickering due to the clash of this pair's personalities...a situation in which neither partner would want to remain for very long. Cancer natives also depend upon the feelings of the moment in terms of physical intimacy and those feelings can run very deep. Conversely, the desires of Gemini are dictated by the mind. This alone would undoubtedly create much confusion in the romantic arena since the same things cannot be expected to stimulate both partners and eventually, frustration in this area is probably inevitable.
Basically, the Cancer/Gemini love match is a rather curious affair. Those governed by Cancer have trouble in communicating clearly, but clear communication is what defines Gemini. Still the chivalrous nature and silver tongue of Gemini may encourage the Cancer individual to emerge from his or her shell more quickly than usual and in turn, Cancer can teach the Gemini native to slow down and appreciate the world...which the frenetic Gemini rarely takes time to do. However, if the Gemini partner seems to ignore Cancer or fails to provide Cancer with the necessary reassurance and intimacy, problems are sure to arise. These are two Signs who approach the world in very different fashions and each must be able to understand and accept the other's differences. Cancer is associated with home and hearth...Gemini is a thinker. On occasions, the Gemini partner can easily slip into the role of "knight in shining armor" to a Cancer individual, who returns the favor with a characteristic urge to protect loved ones. Quality of home life is of paramount importance to Cancer and the Gemini partner will undoubtedly be spoiled by the Cancer mate's hearty home cooking, soft bed and other creature comforts. It is natural for those ruled by Cancer to be strongly intuitive and maintain an almost psychic connection with those they love...but this can tend toward possessivenes and idealization. Nonetheless, if the Gemini partner can just reassure Cancer they he or she is loved and cherished, then all will probably go quite smoothly.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury. Natives of Cancer are prone to keep their emotions bottled up since they have trouble in expressing themselves. Cancer individuals envy the gift of open and clear communication that comes so easily...courtesy of Mercury...to those governed by Gemini. Still, Gemini can benefit from Cancer's intuitive approach, which is so different from the bubbly suface nature of Gemini...and Cancer can teach Gemini how to slow down and appreciate life instead of passing up the good things in a rush to get to the next new thing. Cancer is governed by the element of Water while Gemini is governed by the element of Air. When Water and Air work together, it can produce a formidable team...after all, the best decisions are made by incorporating emotion and intellect. However, the problem lies in cooperation. These two Signs come from such opposite points of view that at times, it can seem as though they simply have nothing in common. The deep and emotional Cancer can also dampen Gemini's airy enthusiasm on occasion, while the light and fast-paced Gemini can leave Cancer feeling ruffled...even tattered. Here, the key to balance is learning to talk openly. Cancer is Cardinal in quality and Gemini is Mutable. Thus, Gemini is flexible, willing to "go with the flow" and follow another's lead. On the other hand, Cancer is an initiator and likes to provide that lead. Still, Gemini may try to lead by being brave and even confontational. In order to achieve longevity, each must learn when to back down and let the other lead the way. If this pair can come to the realization that they are allies, then they could soar to great heights together. Gemini is always thinking ahead and Cancer will quietly support Gemini's ideas from behind the scenes. Here, each partner's ability to provide what the other is lacking can make for a fulfilling relationship.
In essence, this combination may not be an easy one. While the Gemini native is constantly on the alert for change, the Cancer individual is satisfied to become a truly domesticated partner. In addition, the inherent Cancer moodiness may prove to be too much for the Gemini partner to cope with. The best chance for longevity here would probably be a relationship between a male Cancer and a Gemini female.
Since both these individuals possess an excellent memory, the cause of their disagreements will keep coming up time and time again because neither are of a particularly forgiving and/or forgetting nature. Still, since both partners are basically romantics with domestic and sensitive characteristics, this coupling should make a good basis for a happy relationship...the problem being that this is a case where excessive sensitivity could lead to trouble. Each individual in this partnership takes words and actions to be literal truths, which can result in some consistent pain and unrest. Tending to perceive themselves as martyrs, Cancer natives are vastly giving souls and when one of these partners fails to see this in the other, then the reaction will undoubtedly be one of shock. These two will waste a lot of time in petty bickering and dredging up past mistakes...time that would certainly be better spent on other activities. If they can act and react in a more positive and mature fashion, they will come to realize just how much they truly do have together to be grateful for and fortunately, this pair are generally quick to reconcile after an argument. Each partner here is a complex and emotional individual. Thus, they find it difficult in viewing life with a realistic eye. Consequently, their life together never quite lives up to the expectations that each is seeking. In a romantic sense, the Cancer/Cancer match could lead to trouble because the desires of one rarely coincides with the feelings of the other. Each will expect the other partner to adapt and this can result in an even more problematic situation.
Basically, the Cancer/Cancer match is a loving and deeply devoted affair, but one that is very emotional in terms of a domestic relationship. Endlessly loyal to one another, each partner will strive to learn the "ins" and "outs" of his or her mate. Both also find great comfort and satisfaction in their underlying commitment. This is a faithful, caring and helpful union...one that is sympathetic to individual needs and certainly oriented toward making a home and creating a sense of family. However, each will need to learn how to overcome the inherently brooding, manipulative and self-pitying habits. If this pair can find a way to keep their fluid and moody emotions in check, then the result will be a relationship that nurtures both individuals. Essentially, Cancer's place of preference is the home. Once safely entrenched in this personal sanctuary, those ruled by this Sign are prone to forget about the outside world, paying no mind to the opinions of others and concered only with what is transpiring behind their own closed doors. This attitude may carry over into relationships...cherished possession and/or material comforts, for example. Cancer is notorious for never hesitating to defend a loved one if threatened, and this devotion and willingness to fight and toil for the survival and success of a relationship may truly be this Sign's greatest contribution to any love affair. Outbursts and flare-ups are commonplace with the emotional Cancer individual and while the mood swings of one partner may injure the feelings of the other, it is the subtle masterly of the fine art of emotional manipulation that is the most dangerous aspect of this Sign.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Thus, those who fall under its jurisdiction are senstive to the moods that ebb and flow with the monthly cycles of this celestial body. The Moon is the matriarchal orb of the heavens...the force behind Cancer's magnificent maternal and nurturing character. The energy of this instinct creates a warm and secure home environment...a perfect love nest for the growing and cultavtion of a healthy relationship. Cancer is governed by the element of Water. Consequently, instinct and emotion will be the driving force in this pairing. However, with such deeply intense and intuitive powers comes a certain frailty. Cancer's feelings are brittle and easily hurt, resulting in a withdrawal into the infamous shell that protects natives of this Sign when they become frightened or overwhelmed. Such retreat can put a strain on any partnership with a Cancer individual, but when both are ruled by this Sign they can hopefully be perceptive of each others' need for space and a temporary time-out. The key here comes with realizing that it is not a personal slight if one of the partners wants to spend some time alone...particularly since this aspect of the Cancer nature can protect its natives and its natives' loved ones from the harsh realities of the outside world. Cancer is Cardinal in quality. While not the most physically active of the Zodiac Signs, those governed by Cancer do possess speedy emotional reflexes and powers of perception that offer an alternate line of defense when facing stressful situations. Cancer is not shy when it comes to getting exactly what he or she wants from a mate. The instinct to protect is usually the initial emotional element to leap forward when threatened or under stress. However, these burst of emotion may become overwhelming and crush the tender Cancer feelings. Fierce loyalty undoubtedly binds this union, but can also jeopardize its very existence. It will be necessary for both partners to constantly strive to see things from the other's point of view as well as their own. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Cancer match is the utter devotion they share, which enriches their commitment and the strong emotional bond between them. Together, this couple will protect one another and keep their love safe from the outside world. In addition, they will certainly work toward creating a happy domestic life and the nurturing of a loving family.
In essence, this combination could be a beautiful match. Each partner will have a sympathetic understanding for the moods, wishes, desires and needs of the other, even in times of disagreement. Each possesses a high degree of tenacity and once in a relationship tend to be commited to the long haul...both for the better and for the worst.
The Leo individual will doubtless experience much trouble in breaking through the protective shell of Cancer, since those governed by that Sign prefer to hide their feelings inside, showing the world a very different image with every indication that they are thicker skinned than they truly are. However, with persistance, Leo will eventually breach the barrier and discover a very sensitive person whose feelings are easily damaged. At the outset of the relationship, Cancer will be very attracted to Leo's regal bearing and fun-loving attitude. But within a short space of time, the Cancer native will find out exactly how different the Leo value system is from his or her own and the fiery ardor of the Leo partner will cause Cancer to feel that real love simply cannot endure in the face of such intensity. Hence, the Cancer individual will begin to doubt Leo's heartfelt words of endearment. Since Cancer is inherently moody and easily hurt by almost everything that is said, he or she is liable to sulk for days and this will certainly not sit well with the Leo partner, who has no time for anyone who cannot keep up. The quiet outer facade of the Cancer personality was quite possibly what first attracted Leo and the Cancer individual would be well advised to try and be everything that Leo expects in a mate. Totally by instinct, Cancer can provide the type of home that Leo wants and expects. This alone can heal many wounds, but the wildly extravagant moods of the Leo nature...no matter how occasional...are sure to aggravate the economical values of the Cancer partner. Cancer worries about the future, but the future could not be the furthermost thing on the mind of Leo and such fretting only serves to amuse him or her. Both Signs here tend to be somewhat bossy and unless allowed to make most of the decisions, the home-loving and nurturing Cancer is likely to spend more time sulking than talking. It is not in the Leo character to tolerate such a situation since Leo must be in the limelight and if such is not the case, then he or she will look elsewhere for attention. In the romantic arena, the demands of Leo individuals can become excessive...their appetites vary considerably. Longevity will doubtless depend upon whether the Leo partner can show consideration and maintain a giving attitude. Still, given all the differences in personalities clashing constantly, this is a shaky union, at best.
The Cancer/Leo combination is generally one of mutual understanding for the most part. Basically, each knows how to satisfy the primary emotional needs within the other. Both Signs require dedication and tender, loving care...but while Cancer seeks stability and emotional harmony, Leo craves heartfelt compliments and sincere admiration. Here, both individuals are fiercely loyal, even to the point of possessiveness...Cancer for the sake of safety and Leo for the sake of self-confidence. In addition, this pair will be equally committed to an enduring and rewarding connection. Since the desires are similar, Cancer and Leo may fill very important voids in each other's lives. The mutual preference for comfort and security of both partners will be on a grand scale. This couple enjoy a lovely home and close-knit family, with Leo providing the flair and passion, while Cancer furnishes a sensitive yet intense instinct to nurture. However, the Leo partner will invariably be the bigger, bolder and more vivid of the two...the very picture of majesty and status. Still, it should be noted that since both these Zodiac Signs are so strong-minded, this is a pair who must constantly work attentively to understand and accept one another.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is concerned with ego and self...radiating warmth and light...and vibrant Leo indeed radiates this type of energy and enthusiasm. The Moon is related to nurturing...concerned with creating and maintaining emotional connections. This combination of masculine and feminine energies are why the Sun and the Moon adore and sustain one another as they do so. The Sun is representative of life. The Moon is symbolic of cultivation and growth. Thus, as long as these two individuals are mindful of their inherent differences, the affair can be a positive one. Cancer is governed by the element of Water while Leo is governed by the element of Fire. Leo natives strive with ardent energy toward praise and appreciation. Natives of Cancer yearn for security and stability. Both Signs like to take charge, but they approach the leadership role from vastly different directions. A multitude of disputes are liable to arise from these differences. Still, as long as Cancer and Leo never take their relationship for granted...and provided they reassure each other in practical and romantic ways that the union is important...they can generally find a rather happy medium. Cancer is Cardinal in quality and Leo is Fixed. In the presence of stress, Leo becomes stubborn and opinionated, against which Cancer can act as a subtle and manipulative force. Cancer is the persistent initiator of shared plans and Leo can channel the couple's individual energies, working doggedly to move those plans to completion. Given the choice, Cancer would prefer a calm and stable life, harboring no desire for glamor or acclaim. Conversely, Leo loves to shake things up, embracing all that is novel and unexpected. Although each partner may commit to a relationship on an emotional level, each can continue to follow his or her natural instincts while remaining totally devoted to one another. However, if the love intentions have not been made clear, then this pair may find themselves on an endless and emotional roller coaster ride. Hiding behind his or her innocent shell, the Cancer native can be the more quietly controlling of the two and might...to a degree...manipulate the Leo individual when it appears practical to do so. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Leo match is the mutual commitment to a sincere relationship. Together, this couple can share a supportive, positive and healthy partnership. Generally perceived by others as a winning team, the mutual desire for a secure and loving union encourages both Cancer and Leo to strive for harmony.
In essence, this combination is usually very good. Leo's huge heart will soon forgive the moody outbursts that Cancer can display from time-to-time. Thus, the Cancer partner will feel a little more at ease around Leo and probably allow his or her Leo mate to run things...or at least let him or her think he or she is in charge. In return, Leo will appreciate the attention of the Cancer partner and this relationship can easily achieve longevity as long as Cancer can dismiss the feeling of neglect that is sure to surface on occasion while Leo is out running the world.
Those governed by Virgo are ruled by intellect and logic, which goes far in making such an individual a formidable force to deal with. The emotions of Cancer prevent him or her from being the gregarious type and, at times, Virgo can find this frustrating. However, the nurturing and domestic qualities of the Cancer native will certainly help make Virgo feel loved and secure...and in return for that, much can be forgiven. Cancer family ties are exceedingly strong and relatives may visit more often than the Virgo partner prefers...yet another state of affairs that can serve to irritate Virgo. Cancer will be shrewd in handling this pair's finances...although he or she may not be emotionally equipped to handle the criticism that will surely be coming his or her way should there be a mistake. Living with critical Virgo will be no easy task for the emotionally high-strung Cancer, who is certain to take all criticisms to heart and sulk for days. One of the dangers is this union may well be too much caring. Cancer and Virgo are Signs that love to nurture, prone to fuss around those they love. This could make life intolerable for both of them. Together, these two will do a lot of talking about things that need to be done, but each needs to be paired with a more positive personality for anything other than talk to actually be achieved. Neither Sign is greatly moved by the urge for physically romantic interludes and because of this, sexual encounters may not play a large role in the relationship. Here, petty quarrels and criticisims may easily spoil whatever harmony this couple can create together.
The Cancer/Virgo combination will be a strong, down-to-earth relationship with the potential for staying power and could get better with the passage of time. Both partners are disciplined and goal-oriented. In addition, these are sincere souls who share a solid sense of purpose and a proclivity for devotion. There is also mutual admiration. Virgo respects the quiet strength and dedication of Cancer, while Cancer appreciates the keen adaptability and intelligence of the Virgo nature. This relationship is likely to get off to a slow start but the longer it endures, the stronger the bonds. This is a match that prides itself on common sense and firm principles rather than fluff and inconsequential or fleeting connections. There is a shared enjoyment for the material comforts of life, but this couple will only feel good about their bounty if it has come as a result of honest hard work. There are liable to be tiffs if Virgo becomes too critical for the Cancer partner's easily bruised feelings, but Cancer needs to understand that it is simply part of the Virgo character to point out what is observed...it is not a personal attack. Virgo will probably bristle at the Cancer mate's stubborn streak, but it is a trait that a patient and understanding individual (which Virgo undoubtedly is) could come to appreciate. In addition, Virgo's desire to serve will suit the affectionate and nurturing nature of Cancer.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury. The Moon has a mothering influence, related to cultivation and fostering growth...central concerns for Cancer. Mercury is all about communication and is an androgynous energy. Thus, Virgo will adapt and take on the form it chooses...the guise that best serves a situation. The Virgo approach to life is intellectual...particularly when compared to the emotional Cancer...but still manages to be perceptive and sufficiently intuitive to figure out those around them, should Virgo choose to do so. Thus, fortunately for Cancer, the Virgo partner will be able to get a feel for devotion and domestic fulfillment if such is what his or her Cancer mate desires. Here, there will be little arguing related to the satisfaction of one another's needs. This couple will work at it and relish the rewards of their conscientiousness. Cancer is governed by the element of Water while Virgo is governed by the element of Earth. Individuals ruled by Earth are down-to-earth, but can also be materialistic and preoccupied with acquisition. Indeed, natives of both these Signs love to surround themselves with comfortable and well-crafted things. Those ruled by Water rely upon feeling and intuition, thus making Cancer the emotive force behind any relationship with Virgo...but in a subtle way. Coupled with the desire for prosperty, this couple appreciate a fancy home life and will work hard toward such a shared goal. In addition, this is a practical pair and the loss of control is never truly an issue. Cancer is Cardinal in quality and Virgo is Mutable. While Cancer gets things going, Virgo thrives on a changing routine of responsibilities and challenges. Because this couple is so ubiquitous, the Virgo partner will find a place in Cancer's plans if he or she really desires to do so. In return, Virgo will keep Cancer's plans in mind and eventually bring results...even if Cancer has moved on. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Virgo match is a mutual dedication to working toward the same goals. Here, both partners desire a stable home life and nice things. In addition, Virgo will truly enjoy helping Cancer along the way to achieving goals. It is these shared goals and desire that can make this combination a highly compatible pairing.
In essence, this combination is often regarded as somewhat odd. One of the dangers is that the demands of Virgo may be a little too much for Cancer, who yearns for peace and quiet. On the other hand, the affectionate Cancer may not necessarily be completed satisfied by the Virgo direct approach to practical matters. Cancer is inherently sentimental, reticent and even shy, which Virgo can find frustrating. Still, if the Virgo partner can be a shade more demonstrative and affectionate, this is a relationship that can easily work very well.
The Libra individual is well-versed in romantic desires and will probably know exactly what his or her partner wants at any given time. Making a relationship work is the very thing that brings Libra natives the most happiness...but they need broader horizons than simply the domestic situation and if the Cancer partner thinks he or she can settle Libra down, surprise and even disappointment is sure to result. This is not to imply that Libra natives fail to appreciate the domestic scene. They can learn to enjoy it...if it is not pushed upon them. Here, the Cancer partner will have to enlarge his or her knowledge base and conversational skills, since it takes intellectual stimulation to keep Libra from becoming bored and restless. In addition, if Cancer persists in playing the role of a quiet and sulking martyr, then he or she will not last long in Libra's affections. Thus, it will be necessary for the Cancer mate to learn how to relax and enjoy life more, resulting in Libra coming to realize and appreciate the devotion Cancer is sure to shower upon him or her. The Cancer partner will also have to project some excitement and glamor into the romantic arena if he or she would capture and hold Libra's attention. Those governed by Libra tend to possess something of a roving eye...constantly looking for greener pastures...and the physical side of a relationship is probably one of the most important aspects of life for Libra natives. The Cancer preference for a loving and tender approach is simply not stimulating enough for those ruled by Libra, whose stirring thoughts of various sexual perversions may revolt the Cancer partner and make him or her feel slightly dirty.
The Cancer/Libra combination can result in each giving to the other important things that each lacks. Basically these are both Signs that seek a secure and assured relationship...enjoying a shared appreciation for beauty and luxury, particularly in the domestic environment. If this pair choose to work toward a common goal, then they can blend their energies in a harmonious fashion. The relationship between these two may progress more slowly than most other combinations and initially, they may fear that they have little else in common other than their mutual needs for companionship and love of beauty. However, the more they get to know one another, the better each individual will recognize and respect the positive qualities to be found in the other. Neither Sign is prone to shy away from combining the powers of emotion and intellect and both enjoy the occasional weepy opera or sentimental heirloom. Expressions of sentiment and happiness are important to both individuals, who can complement one another in a variety of ways. The Cancer partner will appreciate Libra's charm, tact and the calm, cool diplomacy skills associated with this Sign that can tame even the wildest pouting fit Cancer could possibly muster. In turn, Libra...whose natives adore aesthetic beauty and harmony...will appreciate the Cancer partner'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 individuals need to see the different sides of any given issue or they are apt to make decisions without knowing all the facts. Conversely, Cancer can help Libra cure the notorious indecision inherent in those ruled by this Sign.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. These planetary partners share a love of home, family and romance. Libra natives are famous for their balancing nature and a love affair between these two can be a sharing of nurturing personalities coupled with a desire for harmony over conflict. Perhaps more than any other combination of Zodiac Signs, this pair bring a warmth and sense of stability to those around them. However, despite all the harmony and domestic bliss, the Libra approach to life is essentially based on intellect and its natives can be somewhat snobbish, exuding a rather superior air. This will not be good for Cancer individuals, whose approach to life is founded on emotion and who must frequently contend with easily bruised feelings. Cancer is governed by the element of Water while Libra is governed by the element of Air. Libra perceives life as a purely mental exploration. Cancer's experience is more tactile...more kinesthetic. Cancer natives are at their most satisifed when emotional needs are met while Libra simply focuses upon what stimulates the mind. There will be times when this couple may find it difficult to understand each other and conflicts are sure to arise if Cancer seems too "crabby" or Libra appears too provocative. Thus, each partner must learn that the other simply views the world in a very different way. Both Cancer and Libra are Cardinal in quality. Hence, there could be royal battles for control in this relationship. If Libra's indecision irritates the Cancer partner, then Libra is liable to turn on the subtle charm and sense of fairness, and go along with Cancer's decision...provided Cancer does not become "crabby" about the whole thing. Both these Signs are initiators which can, when ideas and approaches differ, result in quite a struggle. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Libra match is a mutual appreciation of stability and domestic balance. Aesthetics are important to both partners and they share a love of life's comforts. It is the similar tastes and loves here that can make for a relationship of great dedication and harmony.
In essence, this combination may not necessarily be the best pairing either individual could attain. Cancer is probably not temperamentally suited to cope with freedom-loving Libra and this couple could ignore each other for days if they have a serious disagreement. In addition, the immense desire of Libra for attention may bring a period of depression that could create a controversial situation. Libra does possess a love of justice and fair play...but unfortunately, Cancer has the tendency to take advantage of such qualities for his or her own use.
Individuals of both Cancer and Scorpio are motivated by emotion and intuition. Thus, the bond shared by these two will be very strong. Scorpio natives are inclined to throw heart and soul into a relationship and expects any partner to be true. They are also prone to keep a jealous eye open for any wrongdoing. Fortunately for this pairing, the beliefs of Cancer mirror those of Scorpio and the Cancer partner will never give any reason for the Scorpio mate's jealousy to blossom. It is part and parcel of the Scorpio character to work hard...either at home or on a job...and his or her residence is the place reserved for peace and quiet, which is paramount if Scorpio is to unwind from all the daily tensions. If the emotional needs of the Scorpio native is met and he or she is comfortable with the trust placed in the Cancer partner, then it is extremely unlikely that Scorpio would ever dream of being unfaithful. Cancer's natural concern for the welfare of others may somehow lead to Scorpio thinking that those people are using Cancer's good nature and disposition...thoughts that originate from a touch of jealousy in the Cancer partner having an interest...however well-intended and innocent...in someone else. Here, the Cancer partner will have an immense respect for Scorpio and even though Cancer is of a highly critical nature, he or she will learn to phrase those criticisms without wounding the Scorpio pride. In the area of physical romance, Cancer may well be totally possessed by Scorpio...even to the point of being inspired to a greater response than he or she can achieve with any other Sign. Thus, can Scorpio widen the Cancer horizons of passion. In short, this is a most favorable and compatible match.
The Cancer/Scorpio combination results in a drawing together of energies found in two emotionally intense Signs. This usually leads to an excellent blend, with each partner's strengths balancing the weaknesses of the other. Here, there is a very potent sexual attaction and this couple will have much in common...and much potential to keep the relationship both passionate and strong. These two will enjoy making purchases together and creating a comfortable living space. Cancer craves security and Scorpio strives for power. Thus, both partners will occupy their minds with thoughts of domestic good and resources, including stocks, bonds and inheritances. Since each individual is concerned with the home and possesses fierce loyalties to the family group, they will complement each other very nicely. In addition, these are Signs who view life as a passionate and deepy emotional exercise of human connection.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, with the secondary influence of Mars (the planet that ruled Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto). Courtesy of Pluto's powerful influence, this is not only an intense combination of planets but a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. The blending of Cancer with Scorpio forms the basic foundation of human relationship...the Moon's nurturing love coupled with the ambition and passion associated with Mars. The Moon and Mars cooperate nicely with each other. The Moon is concerned with growth and rebirth...Mars is associated with the passion of romance. Thus, influenced by the energy of Mars, Scorpio is smoldering and intense and the emotional Cancer cannot help but be attracted to such intensity. In turn, Scorpio enjoys the adoration inherent in the Cancer native who is ruled by the nurturing Moon. Both Cancer and Scorpio are governed by the element of Water. Hence, both these Signs are exceedingly deep and...much like the ocean...it is virtually impossible to really see to the bottom of either. Cancer and Scorpio may draw further and further into themselves and then suddenly roar back with intimidating force. Here, the loyalty between this couple will be formidable, thanks to the mutual desire for emotional security. However, while Cancer will fix emotional energy on the family and home, Scorpio is prone to focus more upon life's nuances and undertones...the secrets behind the true intentions of others and the power that can be wielded over emotions. In this pairing, the Scorpio partner can take Cancer on a journey beyond the literal surface of things and the expansive heart of the Cancer mate can open Scorpio to his or her own emotions...teaching Scorpio that feeling is nothing to fear. In addition, there can be no doubt that the Scorpio individual will appreciate Cancer's practicality and Cancer rather relishes the jealousy of Scorpio...proof to Cancer that the Scorpio mate truly loves and cherishes him or her. Cancer is Cardinal in quality and Scorpio is Fixed. Once these two have a common wish, then it is virtually sure to be achieved. However, if opinions clash, there is going to be trouble. The Cancer partner will likely be the first to instigate an argument and Scorpio almost certainly the last to finish it. Cancer may appear to act as the dominant partner in this relationship and manage to get his or her way more often, but such is not always the case. On occasion, Scorpio refuses to even agree to disagree...simply pretending to give in...and neither Sign is beyond using emotional manipulation to exact revenge. In order for this partnership to work, each partner must strive to avoid allowing disagreements and bad feelings to boil over, instead discussing what is truly important on a personal level and then reaching an equitable compromise. Once Cancer and Scorpio learn to trust and believe in one another, they can achieve almost anything by virtue of sheer determination and this love affair will probably only fail if the couple cannot overcome their opinionated and stubborn sides. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Scorpio match is the powerful teamwork than can result if each partner can agree on mutual goals. When Cancer realizes that Scorpio is there for the long haul and that the relationship is an emotionally productive one, there is no doubt that this affair can blossom. Here, the shared determination makes for a partnership of formidable strength.
In essence, this combination in an excellent one. Jealousy may plague both partners from time-to-time, but the magnificent mutual ability to love on a deep level will generally limit periods of conflict. Scorpio is well equipped to cope with the moods of Cancer and the excess energy of the Scorpio mate will usually act as a potent tonic for the reticence of Cancer. Thus, the Cancer/Scorpio match could prove to be one of the Zodiac's most ideal unions.
The Cancer/Sagittarius relationship is one where both individuals should be ready for a fight the second they enter the romantic arena, since there will certainly be constant bickering and arguments are sure to flourish. The Cancer partner must be prepared to emerge from his or her shell and live life to the fullest if he or she wants Sagittarius to stick around as the Sagittarius native has no time for anyone who wallows in the depths of sulking. Here, Sagittarius will expect Cancer to follow along with his or her ideas and engage in a very active social life. There is nothing a Sagittarius native adores more than having fun...his or her definition of "fun," of course. There will likely be times when the Cancer partner wishes to stay home...put the feet up and watch television. On such occasions, Sagittarius will try to talk Cancer into accompanying him or her. Should this fail, then the Sagittarius partner will simply go out on his or her own and find other excitement. By nature, Sagittarius is brimming with charm and also believes that personal freedom is paramount. Should Cancer take offense at this attitude or display a jealous reaction, then the Sagittarius mate will begin to feel as though he or she has made a serious mistake in choosing Cancer in the first place. Although the loving and nurturing manner of Cancer is what first attracted Sagittarius, it is not enough to keep this Sign faithful or true. In a physically romantic sense, Sagittarius is very active and, as a rule, Cancer is easily satisfied. Thus, the Sagittarius mate could begin to feel let down, depressed and unfulfilled. This is certain to send him or her in search of a new partner. In short, this is not a particularly favorable union.
The Cancer/Sagittarius combination is one where both individuals need to be patient and give the relationship time to grow and mature. If the affair is allowed to develop, then each will discover that they have much to offer the other. Initially, it simply appears as though Sagittarius is a thrill seeker who enjoys the occasional adrenaline rush and that Cancer derives far more satisfaction from emotional security. In the early days of the relationship, the Cancer individual is likely to desire more of a commitment than Sagittarius is willing to provide but with the passage of time, the Sagittarius native will learn to appreciate the strong emotional support that Cancer offers. These are two Signs that have very different approaches to life. Cancer survives on emotion and tradition...Sagittarius is a restless wanderer. The emotional tidal wave of Cancer can be difficult for Sagittarius to accept, to say nothing of overwhelming. On the other hand, Cancer might be resistant to accepting the Sagittarius mate's restlessness and craving for external activities. Nevertheless, a Cancer partner can offer Sagittarius a secure home base...a place where Sagittarius can go to keep dreams and ambitions in persepctve...and the free spirit of Sagittarius could well lend Cancer's daily life a little diversity and excitement.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter. The Moon is concerned with love, nurturing and the maternal instinct. Jupiter is philosophical, focused on expansion, optimism, luck and travel. Thus, this is a combination of growth and expansion...of masculine and feminine energy. The two are able to sustain each other and when working toward a common goal, can combine energies to great effect. Cancer is governed by the element of Water while Sagittarius is governed by the element of Fire. Natives of Sagittarius desire freedom...Cancer natives yearn for emotional security and stability. These basic needs color each Sign's approach to life...to projects and to relationships. Here, one partner may not always understand where the other is coming from, but when they combine their complementary energies, sparks can fly and dreams can reach fruition. If each individual values the intimate connection they share...value the friendship and one another's opinions...then any conflict can usually be amicably resolved. Cancer is Cardinal in quality and Sagittarius is Mutable. Natives of Sagittarius move from idea to idea, venturing to venture as the spirit takes them. Cancer is the instigator of new plans. It will be important for Cancer to give Sagittarius the freedom to explore personal space and interests external to the relationship. Nevertheless, Cancer can breathe life into the magnificent ideas of Sagittarius, if Sagittarius has lost interest and moved on and Sagittarius does have the ability to teach Cancer the virtues of an open mind as opposed to constant and inflexible determination. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Sagittarius match is the security each can provide...once Cancer gives Sagittarius the freedom to freely offer such security. This could be a compatible couple if they open themselves to one another and accept as valid each other's differing life philosophies. Provided the lines of communication remain clear...and as long as these two take time to appreciate and celebrate their differences...this can make for a rather stable and happy union.
In essence, this combination is not particularly favorable in terms of longevity. The Cancer partner is sure to adore everything about Sagittarius, but once the busy Sagittarius partner has been captured, Cancer may find him or her difficult to cope with. It will be virtually impossible for Cancer to keep Sagittarius close to home. To Cancer, home is his or her castle, but to Sagittarius, it is simply a place to hang around from time-to-time. Thus, although this relationship can be made to work, care needs to be taken and it should not be entered into lightly by either individual.
Whether a Capricorn partner be male or female, this individual is likely to be involved in a career which will occupy most of his or her time and attention. Thus, it will be necessary for Cancer to accept the excess time that is given to this career since Capricorn will naturally expect as much. Cancer natives tend to demand a lot of attention and if it is not provided, are likely to pout for days. Unfortunately, pouting will probably not even be noticed by Capricorn, who is sure to be far too busy planning ahead on his or her career performance. Because natives of Capricorn are so absorbed by their own affairs, Cancer will undoubtedly come to consider his or her partner as a total bore. In turn, Capricorn is likely to feel that Cancer should put some of that sensitive and emotional instanct to good use in his or her own career which, in Capricorn's mind, will make the Cancer partner less dependent...both emotionally and financially. Both individuals will be good money managers and not usually prone to experience financial problems. In the eyes of a Capricorn native, waste is an offense...as is extravagance...but he or she will be a faithful and devoted mate, which the more positive type of Cancer subject can be content with...even if life does tend to be a tad boring on occasion. Capricorn enjoys reading and studying in bed and this can interfere with the romantic mood. So, it will be up to Cancer to initiate seduction in order to get the Capricorn partner's attention. This relationship could possibly achieve longevity...but is liable to take a lot of hard work on both sides.
The Cancer/Capricorn combination, in terms of the celestial level, is a pairing of great tenacity and determination. Capricorn is focused on logic...being down-to-earth and real. Cancer brings a charge of emotional intensity to this relationship. Here, each individual holds the other to a high standard, which is tempered by an abiding mutual respect. In the Capricorn partner, Cancer finds dedication and in return, Capricorn will come to love Cancer's persistence. These two Signs, which are opposite each other in the Zodiac Wheel, can combine to create a very successful and secure connection. This is a relationship that builds and grows from a strong foundation of material and emotional security. Both partners can be depended upon to make frugal and conservative decisions...but it does not necessrily have to be all solemnity. Cancer can help the hard-working Capricorn mate to relax a little at the end of the day...to take time to enjoy the reward of all that labor. Cancer will also be the one to polish and preserve the fruits of their shared accomplishments since these natives are characteristically the keepers of nostalgia, cherished memories and possessions. Capricorn will move Cancer toward achievement and enlighten Cancer to the more important matters of the world outside his or her easily bruised heart. If there is an ironclad commitment and a stable, traditional home environment, then this union is almost certain to succeed.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. The energy of the Moon is warm and feminine, whereas the energy of karmic Saturn is masculine and cold. The Moon is emotional and nurturing, concerned with maternal care giving and intuition...both of which become vital to natives of Cancer. Saturn practices integrity and discipline to achieve goals. Thus, a Cancer partner can show the more serious Capricorn companion how to enjoy life...how to appreciate beauty and comfort...and mothering Cancer will truly revel in smoothing Capricorn's hard edges. In return, Capricorn can smooth Cancer's ruffled emotional feathers by providing the type of solid foundation that a native of Cancer desperately craves. Capricorn teaches Cancer to be more disciplined, to venture into the world and strive toward goals. Cancer is governed by the element of Water while Capricorn is governed by the element of Earth. The focus of Earth is upon possessions. The focus of Water is upon emotion, intuition, beauty and nostalgia. Thus, this couple like to surround themselves with beautiful things...a stately home, magnificent artwork and expensive vehicles, for example. Their desire to be ecomonically stable and their shared loved of finery ensure that this pair will work hard toward such an end and other mutual goals. It is this desire for fine things that keeps these two partners free of arguments related to one of them trying to live osententatiously or beyond his or her means. Both Cancer and Capricorn are Cardinal in quality. Hence, each individual in this combination will be initiatory, active and ardent. Although this can prove to be a catalyst for some dynamite conflicts, it can also provide Capricorn with an emotional pillar since Cancer is totally dedicated to the relationship. The differing emotional dispositions complement each other well. Natives of Capricorn excel in getting the business done and Cancer always steps in when emotional counseling is required. These two are destined to get along very well...if each partner allows the other to use his or her respective individual strengths. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Capricorn match is the utter dedication each has for the other and their mutual commitments toward shared goals. Both adore quality and beautiful, luxurious things...and neither is inclined to shirk at the idea of a little hard work if that is what it takes. Indeed, Capricorn natives would probably rather be working than almost anything else. Here, the shared passions, sense of responsibility and morality make for a highly compatible union.
In essence, this combination initially appears not to have the ingredients of a good mix since the two natures are somewhat far apart. However, on closer inspection, there is plenty in common here. In addition, Cancer is capable of displaying great sympathy and understanding toward others which, in turn, acts as a soothing balm for the misunderstood complaints of Capricorn. This pair does have a tendency to plod along until they get what they want...which could be good or bad, dependent upon the circumstances.
It is inherent in the character of Aquarius natives to strive for improvement in everything around them...and this will include trying to change the Cancer partner, even though the initial attraction here is most likely related to the quiet, domesticated and sensitive aura which radiates from the Cancer individual. The tenacious nature of Cancer subjects will probably not allow Aquarius to change them in any direction and any attempt to do so will only drive Cancer further into his or her shell. Cancer is very proud of...and satisfied with...the intuation associated with this Sign. Conversely, Aquarius is exceedingly proud of his or her logic. There are certain to be many arguments stemming from these differing aspects. Aquarius can live a full life with the Cancer partner being almost an afterthought. Indeed, natives of Aquarius spend much time with friends and out doing favors for or helping others. Thus, Cancer could easily begin to feel neglected and ignored. Eventually, this is sure to degenerate into a fight. If the Aquarius partner airs his or her feelings about believing the truth to be the most important thing in the world, then Cancer will doubtless take to speaking out and could become a nagging complainer, resulting in the Aquarius mate being constantly upset. In a physically romantic sense, these two are on a par with each other...but most times, Cancer will be required to engage in the enticing before the Aquarius partner can get his or her mind on the matter at hand. Basically, this relationship is not likely to achieve longevity.
The Cancer/Aquarius combination is usually an initial case of opposite attracting. Cancer takes an emotional approach to life whereas Aquarius is offbeat and unconventional. While Cancer often retreats into his or her shell, Aquarius siezes every opportunity to be the extrovert...the organizer...the party animal. Natives of Aquarius love to find themselves among friends and social settings are their ideal. If Cancer and Aquarius can find a way to combine these qualities in a positive fashion, then they can go anywhere together. Both Signs can be ambitious and determined. They want to get their own way but neither is particularly fond of conflict. Cancer individuals tend to be old-fashioned, attached to tradition and routine with morals that are conservative as opposed to progressive. Conversely, natives of Aquarius are prone to be very modern and easily numbed by routine...yawning at the "dull and boring" in which Cancer sometimes finds comfort. The Cancer partner may well be intrigued by the Aquarius sense of excitement, but will undoubtedly become frustrated in trying to maintain the pace of the revolutionary Aquarius mind. Natives of Aquarius certainly will not appreciate the possessiveness of a Cancer mate, but they could find much comfort in the solid base these individuals provide. However, getting an Aquarius individual to admit as much will be virtually impossible.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, with a secondary influence courtesy of Saturn. The energy of the Moon is radiant and feminine. The energy associated with karmic Saturn is cool, contained and masculine. The rebellious Uranus is concerned with all things abnormal and novel. The Moon is emotional and focuses upon growth and domesticity, both of which become central themes in the lives of many Cancer natives. Saturn is concerned with hard work and the discipline needed for achievement, while Uranus symbolizes forward thought. This combination makes sense to those governed by Aquarius since they are futurists who are unafraid of getting their hands dirtied by labor. From Cancer, the social and intellectual Aquarius can learn the value of emotional impulses, and there is no doubt that the feminine influence of Cancer will bring beauty and comfort into any home. While Cancer teaches the important lession of an open heart, natives of Aquarius can respond with the usefulness of a detached heart. Individuals ruled by Aquarius are blessed with the ability to extricate themselves from uncontrollable situations and reevaluate goals if they should happen to stray off-course. Not necessarily cold by nature, Aquarius could still benefit from the warm and feminine Moon-based influence of the Cancer partner. Cancer is governed by the element of Water while Aquarius is governed by the element of Air. Aquarius individuals perceive life as an intellectual exercise...a constant exploration and expansion of the mind...always questioning what else there might be. Alternatively, Cancer is more pragmatic, often stopping to ask how something feels. It may be very difficult for each partner in this match to truly comprehend where the other is coming from. This can easily result in a conflict, particularly if Aquarius becomes a little tool cole or Cancer too emotionally demanding. This couple may find themselves working at cross-purposes, with Cancer asking for more and more while Aquarius pulls further and further away. By accepting that their world views are dissimilar, this pair can maybe move on and celebrate their diversity rather than feel threatened by it. Cancer is Cardinal in quality and Aquarius is Fixed. Both Signs persevere when working toward goals and if there is a set path, will follow it to the end. With this brand of mutual doggedness...and provided each partner places a high value on the relationship...then it is possible that this couple will never be dissuaded from that knowledge and will constantly think of one another. However, if snags should arise, Aquarius will soon discover that Cancer...although seemingly shy and retiring...can actually be very tenacious and dogmatic, not above utilizing emotional manipulation on loved ones. In addition, the Aquarius partner may be bothered by Cancer's over-emotionality. Still, if they agree to work toward a common goal, this is a couple who can get along with each other quite nicely. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Aquarius match is when these two decide to come together, they are an indomitable force. Should they make the decision to combine their disparate energes, then each partner can find his or her own natural balance and have fun with the differences, rather than allowing such differences to frighten them away from a chance at romance.
In essence, this combination would probably be a difficult match in terms of longevity. The social side of Aquarius may prove much for the home bodied Cancer. Plus, Aquarius loves to share his or her life stories with the world, while Cancer is satisifed to concentrate upon personal obligations. It is likely that the odds are against this union achieving longevity, unless one partner is willing to become subservient to the other.
Here, the shared facets of both natures...a strong imagination and instinctively intuitive powers...will enable each partner to understand the other with a minimum of trouble. Emotional security is a need that is tantamount to the happiness of both these Signs which, coupled with some effort, will create a close relationship and a lasting bond. Pisces is a champion of the underdog and he or she possesses a soft spot for all vulnerable beings. The home of a Pisces native is usually filled with all types of stray animals, as well as the occasional stray human who has no place else to go. If the Pisces partner becomes depressed or turns pessimistic for no apparent reason, then it will be necessary for Cancer to pour much love, understanding and a dash of optimism into the relationship in order to lift the Pisces spirit. Here, there will be times when the maternal instinct of Cancer will be sorely needed because those governed by Pisces take a lot of looking after, being inclined to depressions and liable to rely upon the crutch offered courtesy of alcohol. It is in this manner that Cancer can happily express the maternal side of his or her nature, but the Cancer mate should do so in a subtle fashion...on the many instances when it will be necessary. There is apt to be a strong physical attraction between this pair. Each possesses an active imagination...although any sexual fantasy will probably move along very romantic lines. This is a couple who will employ physical intimacy to ehance an already good relationship and given the generalities, would make for a very workable union.
The Cancer/Pisces combination is a positive meeting of spirits. Both Signs are basicaly tolerant and sympathetic. In addition, Pisces is easily energized by Cancer's ideas. A Pisces mate has the ability to open the eyes of his or her Cancer partner to the world of creativity and spirituality. In return, Cancer's practicality can be a guide which leads Pisces to the fruition of his or her dreamy and uptopian ideas. In short, this pairing benefits from an amazingly strong and multi-faceted bond. Natives of Cancer love material goods, being both admiring and appreciative of such possessions. They also desire comfort and a rich home. Thus, at times, those ruled by Cancer might not understand the simplistic and minimalist lifestyle of their Pisces mate. Yet, although this couple may work toward different goals of acquisition and lifestyle, the shared emotional depth makes for a very rewarding partnership.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune, with a secondary influence courtesy of Jupiter. When the emotional Moon and illusionary Neptune combine, a beautiful spiritual connection is formed. Both these celestial bodies vibrate with energy that is warm and feminine. Together, they create an idealistic...almost divine...relationship that places much significance upon dreams and illusions. Jupiter is considered to be a planet of good fortune and adds a masculine energy to this mix, representative of philosophy, expantion and excesses. The character of this blend offers a utopian union, drenched in emotional intrigue. It is a true celestial bond...emotion, depth, warmth and expansion. Still, both Signs are prone to ask a lot of their love relationships and Cancer must be careful not to cramp his or her Pisces partner, who will suffocate under too many demands. Both Cancer and Pisces are governed by the element of Water. Water is a tangible and physical entity. Thus, these two Signs are generally very compatible. Natives of Pisces are in this world to create human connections and when they come in contact with the intuition and nurturing nature of Cancer, there is no stronger bond. Fortunately, the Cancer partner's stable view of life will hold the couple afloat and prevent the union from washing out in a stream of romantic idealism. But it is not simply a case of Cancer tolerating his or her dreamy Pisces mate. Cancer truly understands emotional ambiguity and can help Pisces stablize his or her ephemeral nature. Although it is possible that the Cancer partner could grow weary of Pisces' faraway character and although Pisces may be bothered by Cancer's self-centeredness, it will always be easy for these two to find a compromise. Cancer is Cardinal in quality and Pisces is Mutable. While intuitive...in love as in life...those ruled by Cancer do like to get things moving with a good idea and solid plan, even going so far as to makes notes in order to keep track. Conversely, natives of Pisces are more concerned with relying upon instinct and would doubtless lose the plan as soon as the Cancer partner handed it over. It will be necessary for Cancer to allow Pisces the freedom to enjoy his or her external interests and to occasionally follow a whim in undeterred fashion. Pisces has the ability to show Cancer that completion is sometimes better than initiation...and that compromise without struggle can reap its own reward. This pair will feed off each others' energies well and should be totally compatible in terms of romance. Perhaps the best aspect of a Cancer/Pisces match is the similarity of their emotional natures. Both have a huge capacity for emotion and compassion...and both can act as teacher and student. This pair complement and harmonize with each other superbly. The overall empathy and commitment that these two Signs value in a relationship is what will keep the ties strong and long lasting.
In essence, this combination is something of a consummate match, due chiefly to the ideal sentimental blend of characters. Even if both tend to have their moments, they will soon emerge into the sunshine once more, ready and willing to forgive and forget. Here, both partners will cherish the home, possessions and friends. There will also be mutual effort to fulfill all obligations. Each mate in this relationship is a romantic soul...with a need to love and be loved. It is likely that this couple can even communicate without the necessity of words or facial gestures. In short, this is generally considered to be a perfect union.
Natives of Cancer are probably most in tune with those governed by Pisces, since Pisces is prone to moods just like Cancer, but of a less volatile nature. This is a couple who will find peace and harmony throughout the majority of their relationship. For the Cancer male, a partnership with an individual governed by Pisces is one where he can drown himself in the charms...which are considerable...of the Pisces partner. In short, this will be a deeply romantic pair. The love, passion and tenderness that can occur in this union is incredible and wonderful...so much so that it can appear almost unreal to outside observers. There is a mutual physical attraction here and the Cancer male will be very appreciative of Pisces' special hidden qualities. Thus, he will idolize his Pisces partner. Together, this is a couple who can tune out the world and create a dreamy love nest. Basically, this is a perfect match both emotionally and romantically...a definite soulmate connection. Indeed, each partner will find comfort in knowing that the other shares the same worries and concerns. The only potential problem is that both tend to dwell on the negative when things are not perfect and it will be necessary for someone to lighten the mood. As long as that can be accomplished, this will be a constantly smooth and magnificent pairing. For the Cancer female, a relationship with an individual governed by Pisces will provide the lavish emotional warmth that the Cancer female seeks in a partnership. The Pisces native is strongly passionate soul who, much like Cancer, dwells within a world of feelings. The affection displayed by Pisces will make the woman governed by Cancer feel completely special and totally adored. In essence, this is a perfect fit between two exceedingly deep-feeling Signs and a true soulmate love match. This couple will ooze with mutual love and devotion. Both partners here understand each other in ways that would perplex an outsider and somehow, each always knows the right thing to say when the chips are down.
Scorpio, another Sign ruled by the element of Water, would also be favorable since Scorpio is equal to the moods of Cancer and capable of great understanding. Cancer finds the Scorpio depth of character intriguing and will certainly appreciate the rich view of life inherent in the Scorpio nature, to say nothing of the awareness and perception associated with that Sign. This is a couple who will likely provide everything either has ever wanted in a relationship. The physical chemistry here is quite amazing...it is long-lasting and only gets better with the passage of time. For the Cancer male, a partnership with an individual governed by Scorpio is one where he can devote himself to making his Scorpio mate feel special. The man ruled by Cancer has emotional staying power and can easily satisfy the Scorpio partner's need for security. Thus, the Scorpio individual can relax in his company and truly enjoy being taken care of. This is a match where both feel treasured. The initial reaction between a Cancer male and his Scorpio partner will certainly be electric and fired by deep emotions. Mood is generally the order of the day when these two Signs get together. Each can inspire the other to wonderful heights...provided neither allows negativity or possessiveness to enter the picture. For the Cancer female, a partnership with an individual governed by Scorpio is one that is magnificent in every respect and the passionate Scorpio nature will certainly draw out the sexy girl who is hiding beneath the Cancer female's good girl exterior. Scorpio can also be trusted not to have a wandering eye. Once the mind of a Scorpio individual is made up, this is a Sign that sticks to a decision. Additionally, the Cancer woman has the ability to make the Scorpio partner feel very secure because of her loving and loyal nature. In short, this is a pairing that can spark an intense and very intimate relationship. The only problem that could occur is one of possessiveness. A relationship is meant to be a shared experience...not one where ownership or domination takes control. If this can be learned by both the Cancer woman and her Scorpio mate, then there are likely to be nothing but good times ahead.
