Feel free to email me if you have questions...Jeanne

Cancer-Aries
This can be one of the most difficult of relationships to successfully maintain. In your own ways, both signs what to be in charge and take the lead. The chance of a standoff causing a breakup is huge. Cancer is emotionally vulnerable and very sentimental. Loyalty to home and family are the bedrock of their lives. They need to nurture and protect those they love. Aries is headstrong, brave and very independent. They do not really care what others think of their actions and tend to move forward without consulting friends, family or lovers. Aries may find Cancer too clingy and possessive. Cancer may find Aries too selfish. If you are considering getting involved, please think twice. Cancer will be the looser in this mix.

Cancer-Taurus
This is one of the best possible combinations for a happy domestic life. Both signs have a deep attachment to home and the land. Both enjoy familiar routines. Both have a deep appreciation for the simple joys of a good meal, the touch of a beloved hand, and the beauty of the day. It can be a romance made in heaven. Taurus is more a creature of fixed habits and Cancer has a stronger need to manage things. If you can appreciate the different qualities you bring to the relationship, you can make this the best of romantic and working partnerships. Unless there are difficult personal aspects in the charts, both signs are very serious and loyal about relationships. Let things develop slowly and naturally. This person can be “the one”.

Cancer-Gemini
With adjoining signs, there is a chance that you may find you have more in common than first would appear. It is important not to rush things here. Be sure in the first excitement of romance that you do no go to far or promise too much. A playful and emotionally sensitive connection is possible if there are other compatible points in your charts. Cancer needs to realize that Gemini needs a lot of moving around and tends to get distracted. Gemini needs to appreciate Cancer’s need for emotional safety and loyalty.
Cancer can carry the memory of a Gemini lover long after the Gemini has moved on. So it is important for the Cancer to be cautious in the early stages. Be sure you have the same goals concerning the direction this relationship is moving.

Cancer-Cancer
This is a combination that can be very secure but not very exciting. It often never gets off the ground because it feels more like being with a brother or sister than a grand romance. You both share a deep love of family and home. You both are naturally nurturing and protective of those you love. You both like to manage your home. It can be” too many chiefs and not enough Indians.” There can be conflicts that simmer just under the surface. It is sometimes difficult for Cancer to talk about their deepest feelings. When you have two people in a relationship who both tend to move sideways concerning conflicts there can be problems. It is vital to speak your mind. Anything can be negotiated if you are both willing to work it out. If you have similar interests and goals, you can be very happy together.

Cancer-Leo
The Moon and the Sun: so different but so complimentary. Cancer is the one who holds the home and relationship together with care and devotion. Leo is the one who inspires and warms the heart with a rich and playful nature. Cancer needs to realize that Leo has a deep and real need to be admired and appreciate for their creative efforts. Leo needs to understand that Cancer is emotionally sensitive and can be quite vulnerable once they give their heart. Leo is more high maintenance: stubborn, proud and prone to short bouts of bad temper. Cancer is more steady and focused on the practical task at hand. In love, this can be a surprisingly good mix. It is important that the Cancer stands up for themselves and not always be in Leo’s shadow. Leo will never have a truer friend. Be sure this is really what you both want.

Cancer-Virgo
This can be the best of friendships and the happiest of marriages. Under a very practical and down to earth focus, this couple can find a lasting love that is more solid and romantic than many of their more flashy cousins. Cancer and Virgo love staying close to home. There is often a shared interest in pets. Virgo is very loyal and can give Cancer the emotional security they crave. Cancer seems both charming and sensible to Virgo. The sexual chemistry is excellent with a calm and very affectionate interchange of energy. Both signs can be a bit reserved or even shy. It will be important to say what you are thinking. Cancer will need to know that Virgo can be a bit picky and critical and somewhat of a worrier. If Virgo is tolerating your moods, it really is a fair exchange. This is a match that needs very little outside help to be successful.

Cancer-Libra
You both are people who prefer a peaceful and easygoing life style. There can be issues as Libra is much more social and has a powerful sense of what is fair and correct. Cancer approaches things from a much more emotional and self protective place. Both signs are very stong and like to take the lead. There is the potential for significant conflicts. Because Cancer has difficulty being direct and because Libra is too polite unsettled differences can simmer until there is a big fight and hurt feelings. This is a match that will be improved by attitional planetary aspects that are more compatible. It will be important for you to keep the lines of communication open. Be willing to see things from the other’s point of view.

Cancer-Scorpio
This is a wonderful mix. Cancer holds the core of the relationship while Scorpio tries to dominate the mix. This may seem like a recipe for trouble, but actually things usually work out well. A strong emotional bond and a respect for each others’ separate interests and areas of expertise goes a long way in maintaining harmony. Cancer protects and supports Scorpio. Scorpio appears not to need Cancer as much, but this is really not true. The deeply emotional and sometimes tortured sensibility of Scorpio finds a nurturing and safe haven in Cancer’s arms. You can be the best of friends. You can achieve much more together than you ever could alone. It is an excellent combination for having children. Cancer will have to be a bit patient with Scorpios stubborn and sometimes biting opinions.

Cancer-Sagittarius
This is a mix of very nearly two different species. One has powerful ties to home and family and needs to manage these areas. The other is an adventurous and outgoing person who is not afraid to express his or her opinions in a very blunt way. Sagittarius can feel misunderstood, managed and smothered by Cancer. Cancer can feel neglected, abused and injured by Sagittarius. Sagittarius needs to explore and plan new things. Cancer may see this as impractical and selfish. Cancer needs to feel emotionally safe and build a solid home base. It may be difficult for Sagittarius to support these needs to the degree that Cancer wants or to tolerate Cancerian moods. Misunderstandings can lead to hard words on both sides. Think twice before getting too deeply involved.

Cancer-Capricorn
Opposties attract in a way that focuses on both home and career. The relationship has a polar focus on one’s place in the world and creating an emotionally save and nurturing place to return to. It can be the best of working teams. Capricorn is generally the one who will focus on practical work in the world and Cancer will create a wonderful nest. It is a very traditional division of labor. Capricorn is much more sensitive than may appear on the surface. Cancer is much stronger and more competent than those who value outside work more than home and family might judge. In love, these two are excellent helpers and can accomplish much. The romantic side is low key but very real. There is quite a “mushy” tenderness that only improves with age.

Cancer-Aquarius
This is an area where Cancer is skating on thin ice. It may seem very exciting at first, but disappointment is very often the result. Aquarius is very friendly and outgoing with a genuine interes in Cancer’s concerns. It can be a good friendship. On more intimate terms, problems can appear. Aquarius is a very mental sign and does not feel particularly sympathetic with the emotional moodiness that colors Cancer’s world. Cancer may come to think of Aquarius as selfish and unfeeling. Aquarius is a future oriented dreamer with strong opinions and a focus on the needs of the group. This can distract him or her from the more personal needs and domestic focus that are the heart of Cancer’s world. This is a romance that often does not last and leaves Cancer with a broken heart.

Cancer-Pisces
Pisces has the rare capacity to meet Cancer in the most vulnerable and beautiful part of their world. This is a wonderful combination, full of genuine caring and real understanding. It has the quality of soul mates who find a heart’s home in the beloved. Pisces has a more dreamy and imaginaitive nature. Cancer is the loyal and down to earth one. Very often this just feels right and it is. These two will share a private world that does not need analysis. Both need time on or near water and do best where there is time to rest and reflect. Since both are sensitve the negative energy, it is important to choose friends and activities carefully. Pisces can be a bit more unstable than Cancer. Cancer will be smart to let this relationship develop slowly.
