Aries + Cancer

In this connection we have the archetype of the child (Aries) with the archetype of the protective parental figure (Cancer). Considering the self-starting ‘cardinal’ nature of both signs, from the moment these two meet and establish connection, there’s likely to exist a sense of innocence or friendly affection.

Following through and maintaining this connection is usually where the challenge presents itself, as Aries’ autonomous and direct nature tends to be at odds with Cancer’s manner of slowly opening up to others.

Overall this pairing is a comfortable one when the two take the time to understand that they are not that different, and when it comes to a need to feel taken care of. Although this may exist on varying levels.

If Aries can acknowledge that Cancer’s strength is their sensitivity, there will be less obstacles in the connection. The two also share what can either look like an overbearing protective nature, or when channeled differently; a passionate desire to be there for one another.

The kind of friendship you’ll find between these two signs is sometimes one with a push-pull kind of dynamic. Aries is incredibly independent, which sometimes Cancer sees as wild and dangerous as the fire element they represent. There’s a lot of potential here for a friendship that is ‘safe.’ We could see Cancer seeking to keep Aries in check too often, or Aries shielding the emotionally sensitive Cancer to an unhealthy degree.

A healthy balance will be achieved when the two learn to embrace the unknowns, allowing the other to live their life, mistakes and all… and simply enjoying the ride.

Taurus + Cancer

Aug 3, 2022

Taurus + Cancer

Love abounds in a Taurus and Cancer pairing. Both are effortless givers, who will naturally spoil each other with physical touch, hearty meals and thoughtful gestures. Cancers are sometimes called the greatest lovers of the zodiac, because they naturally tend to the needs of their loved ones with ease. They can often read our emotions enough to know exactly what we need, and Taurus may find themselves receiving a snack while they vent about their day. It’s important that Taurus is sure to reciprocate this kind of care, because once Cancer’s boundaries are crossed, you may not be allowed back in!

Cancers do appreciate a kind of ‘togetherness,’ which self-reliant Taurus might not be up for. Figuring out a groove and rhythm will take communication and transparency. Neither party is the most forward or open in (voluntarily) expressing emotion, so active effort will be required here, so as not to let it build up or pop.

It’ll also be important in this connection to talk about love languages. Perhaps Cancer needs to be met with acts of service, like helping clean their work space, or doing the dishes. Both of these signs do love going the extra mile to show care.

The sensual attentiveness of Taurus can compliment the emotional attunement of Cancer, to create an incredibly balanced relationship. When Taurus finds themself too focused on practical challenges, they may find a Cancer connection encourages them to tune into their heart for solutions. In return, when Cancer is acting from emotional overwhelm, Taurus will be able to ground them in the more objective realities of the situation, creating a shared space of calm.

Gemini + Cancer

Aug 3, 2022

Gemini + Cancer

Gemini and Cancer tend to operate in harmony with each other, but from two completely different wavelengths. Where Gemini is a roaming free spirit without limits, Cancer is a creature of comfort who is most likely to put emotional safety first. As a duo that’s most likely to thrive the most in an intimate setting, the more serious and committed the bond feels, the more acceptance they’ll find for each other’s vastly different, but equally beautiful nature.

Challenges could arise in the sense that Cancer lives for a classic and comfortable home life. Generally, their emotional wellbeing thrives on knowing that their anchor is secured and their foundation is immovable.

Gemini couldn’t be more different here, as a sign that functions best by emotionally detaching, and diving into spontaneity and change. In one scenario, this could mean that Cancer would come across as clingy to the free floating Gemini, who’ll be equally unattractive to the crab due to their inconsistent nature. There could exist an uncomfortable lack of connection on both sides. Or, in the more evolved version of the story, we see a bond being formed through difference.

For Gemini, nobody will be more nurturing, empathetic and caring than Cancer. For Cancer, no friend will have such a spectacularly intelligent way of communicating, expressing and seeing the quirks of the world. Both signs are deeply interested in the nature of reality, so shared movies, podcasts, documentaries and books can be anchors for this connection.

Ultimately, Cancer can open Gemini up to vulnerability and the tapestry of their inner landscape in a way like no other sign. Gemini can reignite Cancer’s spark of curiosity and wonder about the world – reminding them that life needn’t be so heavy, and emotions do come and go. At its best, this light and flowing connection will feel like poetry.

Cancer + Cancer

Cancer + Cancer

Two Cancers. The memes almost write themselves. Just kidding, in reality – a Cancer-Cancer pairing has the potential to become a long-lasting and incredibly nurturing relationship, like no other.

Cancer is the empress or emperor of feeling in the zodiac. With a rich emotional and intuitive world, these empathic beings move through the world in a very unique way. The Crab tends to have its guard up, presenting its tough exterior in order to protect its soft underbelly. This means that Cancer can be notoriously difficult to get to know. It’s usually a process of patience, reaching out and earning their trust.

When two Cancers come together this can go either way. Either they’re both so guarded that they in fact miss each other, remaining in the gray area of acquaintanceship and small talk (that neither is really very fond of). Or, in the more positive scenario, we see an immediate understanding and acceptance of the other, as they recognize each other for the qualities that they share. When this happens, so does magic. The two can converse about the deepest layers of life, pondering the universe and their place in it. They can get super comfy together, watching movies, crying and connecting with the beauty of feeling so, so deeply. They’ll be able to understand and comfort each other like no other, potentially reaching such a deep place of emotional attunement that they can finish the other’s sentences. There will be lots of meaningful conversations here, as well as the healthy expression and release of emotions.

A challenge can arise in terms of stagnation though, as Cancer can become quite attached to its comforts – particularly what it knows, and the idea of home. This pair will have to consciously step outside their comfort zones every now and then in order to keep things moving and to experience more shades of life. Socializing with wide groups isn’t on the top of any Cancer’s priority list, so again, the pair will have to be aware of closing themselves off to people or places, before they’ve given them a chance.

A universe of just two can feel great for a time, but it has its downsides. Despite their best efforts, this pair may not always be able to emotionally support one another, because they’ll have to take care of their own inner worlds. This could look like long periods of not speaking, despite being very close. As long as either party is okay with that, this connection can continue to blossom in its spring seasons.

Cancer + Leo

Aug 3, 2022

Cancer + Leo

This pairing is one that probably doesn’t get the recognition that it should. Cancer and Leo are siblings in the zodiac, meaning they bring each other both great comfort, understanding as well as an opportunity to grow together.

Cancer’s sensitive side is often overlooked by some of the more collectively-oriented signs. For example, by the time we’re at Virgo or Aquarius – there’s much less of a focus on the ‘individual,’ as it moves rather to the community. This is where Cancer and Leo can understand, empathize and support each other deeply.

These two signs operate primarily from an individualistic sphere. They feel their feelings deeply and are also very connected to their hearts. No pair are more likely to cry over nostalgic memories, or even the beauty of the present. They’ll act as each other’s personal cheerleaders (though Leo will do this more overtly than Cancer). Leo’s natural warmth and authenticity has the capacity to bring Cancer out of its shell, as the lion encourages the beautiful crab that it is safe to share. Cancer in return, offers Leo a sense of intuitive and nurturing support that the lion cannot find elsewhere. Leo might find Cancer to be a bit of a mind reader.

In terms of potential setbacks in this pairing, Cancer may be taken aback by Leo’s grandiosity and vibrant self-expression, as this could be perceived as almost aggressive. Yet, if the empathic water sign takes the time to see that there’s much more beneath the surface of Leo’s loud façade, they’ll find comfort in the lion’s secret sensitivity.

Because both signs do take things quite personally, there’s also the possibility that if a conflict were to occur, there wouldn’t be any turning back. It takes a lot for these two to get over wounds and hurt pride – particularly when it comes to relationships. If there were ever an argument – it would take a lot of self-discipline for this pair to choose a filter other than their subjective lens, to accept and find patience for the other. Still, when the relationship is valued deeply – this is possible. For people they love and care about, Cancer and Leo are about as loyal as it gets.

Cancer + Virgo

Aug 3, 2022

Cancer + Virgo

It might initially seem like this pair would totally clash. Cancer, rules emotion and all things sensitivity – perceiving the world in a way that’s almost entirely subjective. Virgo on the other hand, sits squarely in the realm of practicality. This down to earth sign cares less about underlying feelings than underlying details; and doesn’t tend to self-reflect using emotions as compass. But somehow… with these two, it works!

Cancer can get a little lost in the world of physical manifestation. This is the sign whose zodiacal opposite is Capricorn, which rules all things structure, career and finance. But this is exactly where Virgo can come in, gently guiding the water sign through activities like planning, preparing for job interviews, and figuring out finances. It’s not that Cancer can’t do it… it’s just the last thing they’ll want to do! Still, with a bit of encouragement from the earth sign, the crab will begin to realize sorting out life in a more structured and responsible way is also an act of self-love.

Cancer tends to avoid bureaucracy like it’s the plague – and this is an area where Virgo will have no problem helping. The earth sign thoroughly enjoys details, as well as being useful. Fortunately for Cancer, there can be almost no greater love than another person seeing where they’re at, pausing and trying to help – without enforcing their own beliefs or judgments upon them. And a mutable sign, Virgo is particularly non-judgmental. This sign is more focused on making things work, then tearing them down. It’s for this reason that even notoriously guarded Cancer will feel safe to share.

In the same way that Virgo helps Cancer out, Cancer is going to take the earth sign by the hand and show them the depths of the water realm. Cancer can be a master of accessing pleasure, comfort, and emotional safe space. This water sign takes Netflix and chill… to a whole new level.

Ultimately, this pair is one of the more underrated duos of the zodiac. Together, they can be a quiet force to be reckoned with. You may not see them coming… but when they have their heads together, talents pooled and collaboration in mind – these two can achieve amazing things. Plus, this pair will barely ever have drama, as these are two signs that value kindness and consideration above almost everything.

Cancer + Libra

Aug 3, 2022

Cancer + Libra

Cancer and Libra is a pair with a tendency to miss out on each other. Cancer values depth in almost every way – and this includes their relationships. The water sign is notoriously guarded and can take quite a while to deem someone else as worthy enough to share their inner world. Libra, on the other hand, is the sign of the social butterfly. Ruled by Venus, this air sign governs relationships. Think: networking, socializing, parties, and a general openness to everyone who gives off good vibes.

A wounded Cancer can feel a little threatened by Libra – potentially perceiving the Air sign as being fake or shallow. Libra on the other hand, could simultaneously see Cancer as aloof, unfriendly or even a little dull. If these two are to find their spark, it’ll involve taking the time to open up, accept and study the other. And when this does occur… what a wonderful duo this can make. When you combine Cancer’s creativity, sensitivity and empathy with Libra’s flexibility, openness and general disposition towards harmony, these two become the pair that you want at your party. The Cancer-Libra duo is one that will make everyone around them feel good, while sharing a bond that is enviable.

As mentioned, Libra loves learning about people, for that’s how they take in the world. Studying the contrasting value systems of other people can indeed be fuel for their self-expansion. Cancer’s way of thinking is strikingly different, and this will be a real pleasure for the versatility-seeking Air sign.

At the same time, Cancer’s going to love Libra’s lightness. This happy-go-lucky sign reminds the crab that life isn’t so heavy, and that drama is something that can roll right off their back. Nothing is ever too dramatic or debilitating for Libra – and this can gently encourage Cancer out of the occasional tendency to wallow in self-pity or engage in self-sabotaging behaviors.

As lovers of pleasure and beauty (both signs have feminine planetary rulers), a Cancer-Libra pairing is likely to enjoy massages, beautiful landscapes, music and sensuality. This duo will feel like one that’s fresh out of a Renaissance painting; a true joy for those around to witness.
