Cancerians are complex characters. The sign of the crab, these personalities present a hard outer shell but are soft and vulnerable on the inside.
Although this sign can be snappy and cutting, Cancerians are actually kind and considerate. They are sensitive and highly intuitive but have a tendency to be worriers.

Ruling Planet
Diana was an ancient Italian Goddess of woodland. Her shrine in Aricia, near Rome, was on the shores of the lake Nemi. For that reason, she was named Diana Nemorenis, Diana of the Woods.
The rites dedicated to Diana were particularly brutal and included human sacrifices. Every new priest had to kill their predecessor to obtain his office.
Diana was identified with the Greek Goddess of woodland, Artemis. Artemis was the personification of the Moon and her twin brother Apollo was God of the Sun.
Diana believed her virgin body was sacred and not for male eyes. One day the hunter Actaeon stumbled upon Diana while she was bathing. She was so angry she turned him into a stag so he could not speak and tell anyone about her naked body. The unfortunate Actaeon was killed by his own hounds, who did not recognise him when he returned as a stag.

Aries and Cancer
Here is an odd but loveable couple. You have mutual respect, though at times you just tolerate each other. Cancer is a good house-keeper. Aries a charming entertainer. Aries may at times consider Cancer a bit dull and boring, ,whereas Cancer would think Aries is childlike and too flippant. But their differences remain under the surface and there's rarely a showdown. Aries will always be the one to quarrel, and later apologise. But should Cancer feel let down in any manner this could spell disaster. Cancer does not break a relationship easily but cannot take flirting of their mate. Together, they can make it work beautifully.
Aries and Cancer are fascinated with each other at the beginning, but sexual attraction fades in the face of many temperamental differences. Aries leaps without looking; Cancer is cautious. Cancer loves hearth and home; Aries hates being tied down. Resentments build up and they argue over trifles. Aries has a sharp tongue that wounds vulnerable Cancer. The more aggressive Aries is, the more defensive Cancer becomes. There's too little compatibility to work with. When Cancer starts to nag, Aries looks for the way out.
Cardinal signs need a certain amount of control to get intimate. Cancer needs to feel that if they surrender they are going to be taken care of and Aries needs to know that you are still going to be a conquest the next time you get intimate. So Cancer needs to toughen up a bit and Aries needs to soften to experience the kind of passion that both of these strong signs want. It can be HOT physically for both of them as long as the conditions are met.

Taurus and Cancer
With Taurus, a genuine friendship can ensue. But Taurus could also encourage an extravagant streak in you. Taurus is an individual you want to impress. In so doing, you go all out-you spend time and money. Taurus is well aspected to your sign, Cancer, but you must know when to get down to business. Otherwise, the relationship can become one of all play, no work. Then you become resentful of lost time and money you sulk, you become moody.
This can be avoided if you learn to balance business and pleasure. Taurus has lessons to teach you. If you observe, you learn. But if you merely accept and put in time, there is not much to be gained.
In connection with a Taurus individual, you could find yourself going in circles. You start here and end up at the time beginning. Which means, Cancer, you will have to provide the sense of direction. Taurus persons affect that part of your chart having done to with pleasure, aspirations, and friendships. There can also be a strong physical attraction. Although you meet people through Taurus, you are apt to end up ultimately being interested solely in Taurus, which leaves you right back where you started in the first place.
Your Moon and Venus of Taurus could add up to romance. You appreciate each other. More important, you are each tolerant of the foibles of the other. There is the mutual respect inherent in this relationship. It is evident, Cancer that many of your dreams, hopes and wished could be fulfilled through a close association with one born under Taurus.

Gemini and Cancer
This combination may be hard to match. While the gemini is constantly on the alert for change, the cancer, on the other hand, is satisfied to become a truly domesticated partner. However, the cancer moodiness may become too much for the gemini to cope with. There would be a better compatibility in relationships where the women is a gemini and the man a cancer.

Cancer and Cancer
You share common interests. You may not get attracted to each other instantly, but begin to like after a period of time. It could be said that you tend to grow over each other. Both of you love home and family life. Sometimes the wife has to push her Cancer-born husband out of the house to go to work, who would rather spend time at home. Similarly the husband has to entice his Cancer wife to accompany him to a party or for an outing with friends. You match so well, that over a period of time Cancer couples begin to look alike. You lead a contented life together.
Cancers have a lot in common, and that's the trouble. They understand each other perfectly and can hurt each other with little effort. Both are extremely sensitive, demanding and too dependent. Cancers are obsessively concerned with their emotional psyches: Each needs an enormous amount of attention, coddling, and reassurance, and resents the other for not giving enough. On the plus side, they're sensual bedmates whose erotic imaginations are sparked by each other. But that's rarely enough. This treadmill goes nowhere.
These funny little crustaceans are adorable when they are enamored of someone. They bat their eyes, look sad, or shy and make approaching them quite safe. Because of the instant familiarity there is a instant attraction. The only time the crab uses it's pinchers are when they are threatened or when they want something. If both parties read that the other is attracted then it's perfectly safe to make the first move. If it isn't safe at the moment they will enlist anyone or anything to find the object of their affection once again. Cancer's love to cuddle with and hold and love making becomes a tender, often funny, event. Each will go through their shyness to finally express their attraction to the other. The more shy you appear the better the hook.

Leo and Cancer
There's much attraction in this combination; also, Leo is apt to brighten your financial picture. Your Moon combines with the Leo Sun significator to make life interesting. There are enough differences to create healthy curiosity. The relationship is not apt to be dull.
Leo affects that part of your chart related to income, money, and personal possessions. You accumulate additional goods with Leo. This makes it necessary to stimulate income potential.

Leo can be obstinate; you are protective. The relationship is not problem-free; there are obstacles.

But you probably will be the one to give ground if the relationship is to last.
Leo is fascinated by you; the feeling in Leo, where you are concerned, is one of fear mingled with security. Your feelings are more clearly defined; you sense that Leo can provide you with necessities and lead you on to glitter and gold. You may have to permit Leo to chase you until you catch him.
Social life improves when you combine forces with lively Leo. A key word is expansion. You do not stand still with Leo; there is travel, study, writing, advertising, self- expression. Leo could tire you - but you won't he bored.
Leo needs praise, while you require security. These elements can he successfully combined, provided both you and Leo are mature and sincere.

Virgo and Cancer
Virgo persons affect that part of your chart related to journeys, relatives, ideas, and restlessness. The combination of Virgo's Mercury and your significator, the Moon, makes for plans, for ideas, for a desire to experiment. On the negative side, Cancer and Virgo cook up half-baked schemes. On a positive level, Virgo stimulates you mentally and some genuine progress could result. Virgo individuals make you think, and analyze. But, Cancer, you tend to seek perfection here. Virgo prods. Virgo criticizes. Virgo is aware of health, of work, employment. And if you intend to live a life of ease, you had setter look elsewhere, Virgo doesn't let down easily. There is apt to be a steady flow of pressure.
Virgo makes you aware of rivals, of competition. Virgo causes you to be dissatisfied with existing conditions. The two signs are well aspected, but you get along best with Virgo if you do more listening than asserting.
Virgo could irritate you through constant striving toward improvement. Virgo will try to change your diet. Virgo will urge you to see this specialist, that one - and yet another. You will embark on numerous short journeys while relating to Virgo.
There is stimulation here, but the ties need cementing or they snap. It might be best for you to choose a Virgo who is older. Otherwise, the pace, the movement, the changes, the appointments, could prove tiring and contribute to frayed nerves.
The Moon-Mercury combination can best be described as brittle. Virgo loves doing things for you. But you may find it difficult to pin Virgo down; just when you are ready to settle down, Virgo is on the move. The biggest problem is likely to be deciding how and where to live.
Virgo admires you, is more than mildly interested and this admiration and interest serve as a stimulus for you. If, Cancer, you don't expect perfection, and can put up with some friendly criticism, then Virgo is for you.

Libra and Cancer
With Libra, you become concerned with security, with your position later in life. Libra makes you aware of investments, savings programs, home, and solid structures. Libra gives you a solid frame of reference which you can under- stand. This relationship, however, could get bogged down in a kind of work pattern, which does not nourish you in other directions.
In association with Libra, you become security-conscious. You gain a degree of stability, because Libra affects that part of your chart. Libra emphasizes your Fourth Solar House - this is connected with domestic surroundings, Home, property, land and the foundation for a prosperous future.
Generally, there are obstacles to this relationship. Libra churns your apprehensions - makes you so aware of the need to build that you could despair of ever accomplishing your goal.
But, Cancer, if you are ready to settle down if ready to concentrate on Home and family then you may Have found the right person in Libra.
A thorough understanding is required before coming seriously involved. With you and Libra, that understanding comes about through a dialogue. You can't take things for granted with Libra. Everything has to be direct and on the line. Do some thinking and analyzing, state your conclusions to Libra, and then evaluate the reaction.
The Venus significator of Libra combines with your Moon indicator to suggest material success. Certainly, your portfolio of stocks could grow, if this Holds your interest, with Libra, the aim is toward having something ready for tomorrow.
But you are apt to be so well prepared for tomorrow that you miss living today. That's one of the problems of a relationship between Cancer and Libra. Understand and perceive if wise and determine, you could make it work.

Scorpio natives touch that part of your chart relating to love, to excitement, to speculation, to children, to courtship, to charge, to change, to variety- and adventure.

The attraction gets Cancer and Scorpio together. How you build from there is another story. But what I am trying to say, Cancer is this: just because there is an attraction does not mean you will live happily ever after. That depends on how your complete charts blend.
Basically, the two signs harmonize. You will have to be the receptive one -Scorpio presses, is forceful and dominant. If you are wise, and if you want the attraction to grow into something permanent, take appropriate steps Utilize your innate wisdom, Cancer. If you do this, Scorpio indeed can he for you.

There is a constructive outlet, an explosion occurs. Scorpio is especially good for you when dealing with children. Scorpio helps you tap creative resources, aids in understanding emotions, including those of the primitive variety. If you can't stand the heat, though, don't' mingle Scorpio.

Sagittarius and Cancer
Both the signs have great differences in nature. Without good communication cancer will be isolated because Sagittarius is far too wayward and freedom-loving.Sagittarius is mentally, emotionally and physically independent which can make Cancer feel insecure. Both are generous in different ways, Cancer tends to cling, which causes Sagittarius to feel smothered or trapped. When this twosome first meet, they can have a terrific time together..They'll think they have made it. But almost from the moment they tie the nuptial knot, the rot will set in.
This duo have desperately different outlooks on life, with the Cancerian always hankering for habits and preferring the familiar, because it's safer and the Archer always off in search of pastures new, because they always want to know what's round the next corner. If they can't sort something out, they might both decide that it's just not worth the bother. The Sagittarians captivating candidness can become bruising bluntness and that's something Cancerians can't cope with.

Capricorn and Cancer
You are ideally matched, especially if you have similar family/financial background. Difference in social status could only spoil the felicity of this combination. Cancer loves the security provided by Capricorn. Cancer is flexible. Capricorn feels overly protective towards Cancer. You make a happy couple.
There's an initial sexual attraction between Cancer and Capricorn because they are a polarity in the zodiac. If they can overcome their opposites in temperament, they can make a winning combination. But career-oriented Capricorn has too many other interests to give Cancer all the attention it needs. Cancer is shy, sensitive, and needs affection, while Capricorn is brusque, aloof, and domineering. Cancer takes Capricorn's reserve as a personal rebuff, and becomes moody and critical. The differences may prove too great for long-term happiness.
Cancers need safety and Capricorns need loyalty. There is almost instant attraction here because what one needs the other naturally provides. Cancer see the security and protection inherent in the very possessive Capricorn and the Mountain goat sees the loyalty and little child in Cancer. These 2 can make passion and sustain longer than most any other sign...and the chemistry is about a 10 on the meter of 1-10.

Aquarius and Cancer
