Cancer Compatibility

Cancer Compatibility

While astrology is much deeper than Sun signs alone, there are general traits that each sign possesses that make them more or less likely to get along with each other. And in honor of Cancer season, we’ve gone through the compatibility of Cancer energy with each of the 12 signs.

Cancer energy, at its best, is the ultimate caregiver. It knows how to make people feel safe better than anyone else, and can trust gut feelings over anything scientific or obvious. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, after all, meaning there’s an especially intuitive side that isn’t seen by the light of day.

Cancerians make great chefs, interior designers, and parents. While they do get the “homebody” title, not all are wallflowers! They can be adventurous and especially entrepreneurial and know how to make any space they find themselves feel like home. The crab travels with its shell on its back!

To love a Cancer is to embrace your soft, squishy side. Cancerians, at their best, are completely in-tune with their emotions, while not being smothered by them. If you love a Cancer, you appreciate good food, cozy cuddles at home, and a deep appreciation for family.

Read on to learn all about Cancer compatibility, whether romantic, familial, or platonic.

 

Cancer and Aries

Cancer and Aries can flirt with parent-child dynamics that are likely to turn unhealthy fast. It’s important that they both show up as independent adults for this pair to succeed.

 

Cancer and Taurus

Cancer and Taurus are a solid match! They both appreciate luxurious nights in at home and make each other feel especially safe and cared for.

 

Cancer and Gemini

Gemini is a sign that loves a good joke and Cancer can be a bit too sensitive to handle their cutting words…even if it’s all in good fun. If these two can learn to trust each other, they can both learn a lot.

 

Cancer and Cancer

Cancer with its own sign makes for a rollercoaster of emotions! If these too can get in sync with each other (and the Moon) they make an especially nurturing and intuitive pair…with a beautiful home they’re unlikely to ever leave!

 

Cancer and Leo 

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Leo is ruled by the Sun, making these two reflect each other in interesting ways. As long as Cancer is happy to let Leo steer the ship, they will bask in their light and connect over children and loyalty to family.

 

Cancer and Virgo

Cancer and Virgo are an easy pairing. Cancer appreciates Virgo’s affinity for a solid plan and they both know how to take care of each other and the people around them.

 

Cancer and Libra

Cancer and Libra both boast a softness that appeals to most people. But they can get into trouble when neither of them wants to have a direct conversation and name what’s upsetting them!

 

Cancer and Scorpio

Cancer deeply values security and Scorpio boasts a level of obsession that makes the Crab feel especially safe and protected. These two can reach the bottom of deep waters together.

 

Cancer and Sagittarius

Cancer craves stability and someone to come home to…and Sagittarius is always out on a new adventure! They can find common ground by reminiscing on stories of the past.

Cancer and Capricorn

Capricorn is Cancer’s “opposites attract” pair as they’re opposite on the zodiacal wheel. While Cancer wants to be at home, Capricorn likes to be at work. They can complement each other well if they know how to meet in the middle.

 

Cancer and Aquarius

Cancer and Aquarius will be mystified by each other. Cancer has a hidden side and can be quite moody, while Aquarius approaches the world from a logical standpoint. They can connect over how to nurture the communities around them.

 

Cancer and Pisces

Cancer and Pisces easily read each other’s minds. They’re both reflective personalities that have a way of exposing people’s deepest fears…as well as intuitions. They understand each other’s mood swings and enjoy being cozy together.
