Cancer, the Crab, enters the sky on June 22-July 22. Like a creature that carries its shell everywhere, Cancers are homebodies. If this is your birth sign, family is everything and you tend to your inner circle mindfully.
You are highly psychic, so it doesn’t take you long to measure up potential matches in your life. The only problem with your aptitude is it can make folks a little uneasy. Your accuracy is renowned, and “game players” don’t like it one bit! Few can keep secrets from you.
To the world, you always seem hard like the Crab’s exterior. But get to your underbelly and you are a mush. You keep your front solid because you’re loyal and emotional. In order to open up, you need trust.
Storytelling comes second nature to you (and your expansive imagination). In some ways, you are a modern bard, with magic all your own when you use your words. People are naturally drawn when you speak, being captured by your expressiveness and creativity. Charm pours out of you, along with a good sense of humor.
Even with close friends you sometimes have trouble relating your feelings. You internalize a lot. This creates a level of moodiness that people have come to understand over time. Your biggest challenge is staving off the green-eyed monster.
Cancer Matches
Taurus
Your Taurus partner appreciates your affection and understanding. They know you will always provide emotional support, and always show gratitude. You find that highly inviting.
The two of you are matched well because you have a lot in common. Your focus on your home, stability, love, nurturing, and financial resilience is just a small part of the bigger picture. You want your house to feel welcoming and cozy, so when people enter they sigh with relief. Put the two of you in the kitchen and you’ll cavort with canapes as foreplay.
If you are going to socialize, you’d rather welcome people into your space than go out. It saves money, you want to “show off” your home, and you just feel more comfortable. When new guests arrive, they’re treated to a tour of the most treasured items you two have gathered.
There are few, if any, power struggles between Cancer and Taurus. They are often of one mind. You don’t have to force affection, either, with a love life filled with eroticism and sensuality.
Virgo
The Cancer-Virgo matchup brings out the best in both individuals involved. You “get” each other, and have a natural desire to provide mutual support. Virgo really builds Cancer’s self-confidence.
Because you’re emotionally unpredictable, Virgo tries to remain patient. They know that swing will pass. In the meanwhile, they keep you from hiding in your shell too much.
Both Cancer and Virgo value having strong cornerstones, so there’s a mutual effort and focus on loyalty and creating security. You never had those awkward moments at the outset of dating. The comfort zone was energetically there already.
You can be fairly emotional and moody at times and therefore unpredictable. In this match it’s no bad thing, as your Virgo has the patience and understanding to take these moods in their stride, and their natural stability will do much to ground you until they pass. So long as you remember your Virgo needs a little more private time than you, and all will be well. It’s nothing personal, but how they destress.
One limitation this relationship faces is a tendency for fault-finding. You both do it, and it often comes across like nagging. Watch your words. Also, stop worrying so much!
Cancers bring Virgo’s sometimes reserved sexuality out of the proverbial closet. Your ability to be spontaneous fuels their passion (and yours). There is an ebb and flow between you, that’s gentle and inspiring.
Scorpio
Those born under the sign of Scorpio cannot help but appreciate Scorpio’s emotional depth. When you two meet, sparks fly right away (and never seem to burn out). Even with all that electricity, there’s a sense of patient understanding, and enduring love in this connection.
So what do you have in common? Lots. Both of you aren’t really party goers. Your privacy matters. There are only a few intimate friends in your circle, and that suits you just fine. When the people in your life see you together, they may call you soulmates, the connection is that tight.
One thing that’s important to your Scorpio is alone time. It is a necessary part of your relationship in order for them to give their best. The more you push when they’re not talking much, the longer it will take before that span ends.
Compatibility in the bedroom is certainly no problem. The word “dull” doesn’t even exist. You are wholly present together and can anticipate each others’ desires.
Pisces
It is hard to describe the intense emotional connection between Cancerians and Pisces. They always feel close, even when 3,000 miles separated. They also recognize each other’s wants and needs and make an effort to meet every single one.
With your Pisces partner, romance is always in the air. You’ll treasure the hours of sitting and dreaming together about your hopes and goals. Each moment of your time together will be documented with pictures and mementos. Sentimentality is both rich and enriching in this relationship
Sometimes the two of you will get caught up in each other so much that it becomes easy to crawl into your love nest and never want to emerge. This is lovely and healthy for you both. Just make sure you don’t miss important matters, like that doctor’s appointment it took three months to book.
One caution for this pairing is that if one is forlorn or maudlin, the other can get sucked into that orbit. Find coping mechanisms for those times. Take a breather. Walk silently together, feeling the sun on your back. Watch a comedy movie. Whatever it takes to lift spirits.
You prefer planning for future security, but your Pisces might not be thrilled by black and red spreadsheets. In this matter, take the lead and share the results.
