Cancer Moon Sign Compatibility

Cancer, despite being the sign of the crab, is usually very sensitive, good natured and caring, and if they feel secure then their mood swings will be few and far between. Cancer has a great longing to cling to the past and a love of all things sentimental. They crave security, and once they’ve found it they are very resistant to change.

Victims of habit, Cancer tends to hold onto things long after everyone else has let it go. They seek reassurance from everyone and in everything they do, and often cover up signs of weakness with an extrovert exterior. They are very protective of those close to them, and once they’ve made a friend they’ll keep them for life.

COMPATIBILITY

Here, compatibility is largely dependent on the willingness of the other person to accommodate Cancer’s need for security and stability. This is something that Aries, for example, won’t be able to do. Aries is particularly restless and un-sentimental, and won’t be able to understand or provide Cancer with the stability that they seek.

Equally, Gemini is likely to feel uncomfortable by Cancer’s deep emotionality, and will often respond to moments of crises with a sarcastic comment rather than sympathy. This could make Cancer feel unwanted, and Gemini’s restless nature is likely to make Cancer insecure.

However, Taurus could be a great match. They both have the same emotional needs and will be able to appreciate each other and their need for security. Both very domestic and lovers of the familiar, they’ll be very dependable and respectful of each other.

Leo, although much more outgoing and dramatic than Cancer, could prove to be very complementary. Leo’s need for appreciation is well-matched by Cancer’s supportiveness, and they’ll both be fiercely loyal and protective of each other. Similarly, Cancer’s ability to be non-judgemental will help with Virgo’s sense of doubt, and Virgo’s steadiness will be able to reign in Cancer’s temperamental emotions.

A relationship with a Libra could prove difficult. Although domestic harmony and pleasing people is important to both, differences arise in the way they treat each other and those around them. Cancer is more sentimental and tied to family, whereas Libra likes to focus more on their romantic relationships.

Scorpio and Cancer, however, could be particularly compatible, with both having a strong desire to form connections and lay down roots. They’re both very emotional and can become very dependent on loved ones, and once they’ve found a partner they become intensely attached to them.

Similarly, Pisces shares a lot if traits with Cancer and both will be able to understand each other implicitly. Likely to form a lasting attachment and very intuitive and sympathetic to those around them, both crave a peaceful home life and are likely to have a very loving, sensitive and emotional relationship.

Cancer is an extremely emotional and caring individual, and their compatibility with others will be determined by their ability to reciprocate and be comfortable with such emotion.
