cancer love match and zodiac compatibility

When it comes to zodiac love matches and compatibility, Cancer seeks security and safety. Cancer's caring and nurturing nature is accentuated by Cancer's empathy, which allows Cancer to easily know his/her partner's feelings and needs.

Cancer wants to feel appreciated by a partner. Because it's so easy for Cancer to be hurt, a tender approach is needed. It won't always be obvious when Cancer is hurt, but the will stew until it can't be contained any longer.

Cancer Love Compatibility

Cancer – Aries: Aries and Cancer want different things in love and relationships. Aries is spontaneous, Cancer things through. Aries is always on the go, Cancer likes to stay at home. Aries is direct, Cancer is cautious. This relationship can be quite challenging because Aries and Cancer are so opposite one another. It will take a lot of work on both partners for this to be successful.

Cancer – Taurus: Both seek comfort and security Cancer, and are loving and passionate. Taurus can add a calming influence to Cancer's moods. Both partners have to be willing to give and receive in this relationship, but if they do, it should work well.

Cancer – Gemini: Cancer and Gemini tend to have little in common, which can actually cause them to be quite fascinated with one another. But over time, your different approaches to love can cause conflict. Gemini prefers to talk through problems, while Cancer believes an emotional connection should be strong enough that words aren't necessary. Gemini is always seeking the next adventure, but Cancer would rather stay at home. Sparks might be intense at first between these too, but the differences can be too difficult for most Cancer-Gemini pairings to last.

Cancer – Cancer: Both of you are protective and caring, sharing the same strengths and weaknesses. Both of you are shy when you approach relationships, so things might be slow to begin. Yet, you'll both be so devoted and caring to each other, you're likely to last.

Cancer – Leo: Cancer wants to feel safe and secure, while Leo wants intensity and passion. Cancer displays love with subtlety, which can bother Leo who wants overt displays of affection. Leo can struggle with Cancer moods, while Cancer will find Leo's flirtatiousness equally challenging. To make this love match work, you both need to reassure each other and show plenty of appreciation.

Cancer – Virgo: Both partners are caring and nurturing, and have an equal desire for security in a relationship. It's easy for you to value one another, and you'll find you often approach things the same way. This is a relationship filled with great respect. The key is to work on your communication as Virgo is less communicative and Cancer might offer constructive criticism that Virgo considers to be rejection.

Cancer – Libra: You're both in tune with each other and try to meet each other's needs. However, you express love differently. Libra is approaches love intellectually, while Cancer approaches emotionally. This might cause both of you to compromise too much to meet one another's needs. Cancer might put up walls to do this, which will block the communication Libra craves. If the two of you don't start playing too many games, Cancer's caring nature should mesh well with Libra's willingness to accommodate.

Cancer – Scorpio: Cancer and Scorpio approach love the same way, which will give both of them a sense of security. Commitment is important to both of you, and you both excel at making the other feel loved. You're equally possessive of your partner. Both of you hold grudges, so it's important that you remember to communicate. If you do, this match can be quite successful.

Cancer – Sagittarius: This can be a complicated match, unless you accept each other for who you are. Cancer likes safety and security, but Sagittarius rebels when things become too boring and predictable. Cancer is very attentive and affectionate, but Sagittarius can be too active to notice. Sagittarius needs to feel like the relationship is going somewhere and has a purpose. If Sagittarius doesn't, it's challenging for Sagittarius, but Cancer has the skills to help Sagittarius in this area. Cancer needs to have enough faith in Sagittarius to give Sagittarius the freedom it needs. If these things happen, the match can be successful.

Cancer – Capricorn: You're both opposites, so it's easy to be fascinated by one another. However, the difference in your approach to love can cause problems. Capricorn takes the logical approach to love, while Cancer is intuitive. It will take some time for you to overcome this, as you both are cautious in love, but you also share a strong desire for commitment. If you're patient, this paring can work.

Cancer – Aquarius: Cancer and Aquarius have different needs and approaches in love. Cancer wants strong commitment, Aquarius lights things light-hearted. Aquarius loves freedom and the direct approach. Cancer is possessive and sensitive. It's going to take a lot of work and learning from each other, but love can make this match work.

Cancer – Pisces: This is a paring based on respect with both partners having similar goals in love. You both value emotions and romance. Pisces appreciates the security Cancer offers. The problem lies in that Pisces cares for everyone, especially the underdog, which can cause Cancer to feel threatened. However, once Cancer understands that Pisces isn't trying to get away, and does indeed value Cancer's protective nature, this love match should be quite successful.
