Good Matches for Cancers?

"Cancer and Sagittarius, have different approaches to life; Cancer lives on emotion and tradition, and Sagittarius is the restless wanderer. Cancer's emotional tidal wave can be difficult and overwhelming for Sagittarius to accept. And Cancer might be resistant to accepting their Sagittarian mate's restlessness and craving for external activities. A Cancer partner can offer a Sagittarius a secure home base, a place where Sag can go to keep their dreams and ambitions in perspective. The Sagittarius free spirit can lend Cancer's daily life a little diversity and excitement."

Blah, blah, blah...

I've never truly subscribed to the notion that there are specific signs that are more compatible with Cancers. I may be a Cancer, but I also have strong Virgo and Sag characteristics in my natal chart, and I've had satisfying relationships with certain sun signs (whose personalities are also colored by the other aspects of their charts) that are traditionally not the best combo for me, astrologically speaking, that is. My conclusion? People are people. That aloof air sign (for example) may also have qualities that complement your person. Sun signs paint a personality with very broad strokes. Don't let someone's sun sign limit your relationship possibilities! :-)

if we're talkin generalities here, then here are mine:

sagitarrius--> fun to philosophize and party with. but the sag tendency towards impulsivity and shootin' from the hip is too much for me to deal with.

leo-->i liked dating leos but they just didn't get me. relationship doesn't get as deep as with fellow water signs

aries--> there's an attraction at first. but they go as quickly as they arrive. not even enough time to develop a strong connection. can be lots of fun though.


aquarius-->too unpredictable. too detached from feelings. and definitely on different planes. but good as friends, co-workers, and i am able to have good, deep conversations with em because i can appreciate their unique perspective.

gemini-->expert flirts. they can woo me at first, but not the most trustworthy of folks. fun to debate with. better as friends, for sure.

libra-->the most compatible air sign IMHO because they are capable of being emotionally attuned because they are so partner-oriented. but they can be caught up in social rules and superficialities.


pisces--> hit or miss. can be very good or very bad. there's a lot of comfort and understanding between me and pisces but they can be overly into escapism and passive which can drive me nuts.

scorpio--> instant attraction. probably the sign i can have the deepest nonverbal connection with. secretiveness and control freak tendencies can drive me nuts though.

other cancers---> better as friends. too much moodiness is not good with romantic relationships. need some more balance.

taurus---> my absolute favorite. calming, stable, dependable, sensual, and sincere. they like to be pampered and i like to pamper. my current partner is a taurus.


capricorn-->not much experience with this sign. i think that i've tended to like them to a degree but not as much carmarderie there as say with the other earth signs. can be too negative for my taste.

virgo-->they like me more than i like them usually. good as friends but they don't deal well with my changing moods which leads to inconsistency sometimes. can be too finicky.



but of course these are only generalities. one's whole chart needs to be examined. rising, moon, venus, and mars signs, for example....

Bump! I've been with a Scorpio guy for over 11 years, and I'd highly recommend this pairing... The relationship has been intense, sparky, and hot hot hot. Love my Scorp. (he's Scorpio rising and Mercury Scorpio to boot)

i am a cancer, 6-28-80, lady- and i just a pisces boy and hot damn is seems like a great thing- when we checked out compatablity writings about the match it had only really good things to say. we will have to wait and see what the future holds- anyone out there with this combo?
