Cancer: Zodiac Sign Profile and Compatibility With Every Sign

The self-assured Aries recognizes no boundaries, while the cautious Cancer woman, on the contrary, builds her life by clear rules.

On the other hand, in life together such dissimilarity has its upsides: the ambitious Aries calmly handles work and career, while his lovely other half is busy with home and family.

Moreover, the Aries man and the Cancer woman have good sexual compatibility.

True, Aries sometimes pressures Cancer too much, which can make her take offense and withdraw, but overall their relationship is fairly harmonious and can last nearly a lifetime.

At work, Cancer tends to bring safety, care for the process and a healthy emotional climate, while Aries brings a fast start, initiative and tasks that call for a bold push.

Usually, the Cancer woman cares for the home and the family budget for the two of them, while Gemini, also for the two of them, leads a full, fairly free life.

In such a situation the Cancer woman accumulates plenty of grievances, but unlike many other signs she usually avoids scenes, preferring to deal with hurt in silence.

The independent Gemini is content with this state of affairs.

More than anything he hates being nagged or backed into a corner, so the patient Cancer woman is a real find for him in that respect.

Their marriage can last quite a long time (until the Cancer woman's patience runs out or until Gemini finds a new love), yet however well they complement each other, real closeness between them most likely will never come about.

Practical and dreamy Cancers are so comfortable and at ease in each other's company that all sorts of get-togethers and outings may gradually become a thing of the past for them: to traditional entertainments they usually prefer the coziness of the family hearth.

They have so many shared interests, especially those connected with home and family, that even after living a whole life side by side they may never grow bored with each other.

The other question is that such complete self-sufficiency sometimes leads them into a degree of isolation: contented Cancers simply have no incentive to socialize with friends and relatives.

Of course, if there is harmony and love in the home, all other problems are not so important, yet Cancers can still be advised to add variety to their lives (including their sex lives) so that their marriage does not turn into mere habit.

Usually their marriage has clearly divided duties: Leo handles work and career, while the Cancer woman happily makes the home cozy.

True, Leo can be none too pleased with his wife's habit of staying home, while he himself adores going to parties and shining in society.

But in principle this union has everything that could ensure them a successful marriage: passion, respect for family values and even a desire to understand each other.

But once their relationship begins, it tends to last for many years, if not a lifetime.

Scorpio and the Cancer woman are usually drawn to each other; they feel good together, and the sense of novelty may not fade even after a year of close relations.

However, their views on life and their characters differ quite strongly.

Scorpio is a fighter; he presses stubbornly forward and is drawn to battles on a grand scale, whereas for the Cancer woman the concerns of home and comfort come first.

With his stormy bursts of emotion and burning jealousy, Scorpio can wound Cancer painfully, while she tends to bottle up her grievances.
