Since you're birds of a feather, you have the potential to grow closer than most
couples. Just remember when you're involved with a Cancer, you're involved with
a parent, a patriot, a nurse and a night-owl. If you can give each other
emotional commitment and security, a loving home and some care for children, you
have a better chance of getting each other's love and affection.
When two Cancerians come together in a love affair, a loving and yet very
emotional domestic relationship ensues. A Cancer-Cancer match makes for a deeply
devoted duo, endlessly loyal to one another. Both will learn the ins-and-outs of
their partner, the best ways to heat each other up or, if necessary, to cool one
another down. Both will also find great comfort and satisfaction in their
underlying commitment to one another. This couple is faithful and caring,
helpful and sympathetic of individual needs and very oriented toward making a
home and creating a sense of family - especially when they can get over their
brooding, manipulative and self-pitying habits. If they can find a way to keep
their fluid and moody emotions in check, this relationship will nurture both
lovers.
When two Crabs come out of their shells and size each other up, an emotional
tidal wave is unleashed. Tidal waves generate massive amounts of energy, but are
usually short-lived, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake.
Cancer and Cancer spend a great deal of time in the world of feelings emotions
and intuitions. Each one of you experiences life as an ebb and flow of emotional
tides and currents. Neither one of you deals with people so much by their
outward appearance as by their inner states. Each one of you has a degree of
psychic power. You can cultivate a mutual appreciation of music and art.
Work on your non-verbal communication together.
Learn to dance together. Share a ride on a water bed. Intangibles play a great
role in your life together. To share greater success, develop a greater
understanding of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all forms of
life. In other words, develop your empathy, compassion and emotional rapport.
Cancer and Cancer can create success by sharing a vision of the future.
Cancer the Crab is a Water Sign, so both of you are deeply emotional and
sensitive, almost to the point of being psychic. You are so sensitive in fact
that you have learned to build a tough shell around your tender heart, for
protection. This is part of the symbolism of the Crab, along with the tendency
to sidle around a problem, rather than face it head-on. As a lover you seek
security and fidelity, and, although you are not above a few flirtatious
peccadilloes of your own, you can be deeply wounded if the one you care for
betrays your trust. Cancer is poetic and romantic, but also practical in matters
to do with the home and raising a family. Cancer is reassuringly protective,
even possessive, but can be a jealous lover, though more from insecurity than
simple desire to dominate.
Essentially, you're both good people who need to deal with family and emotional
issues. Your hugs are world class and snuggles are second to none. You're both
naturally inclined to be touchy about some, but not all relatives and needs to
work on the family tree and make some sense of it all.
The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and this Sign is sensitive to the moods that
ebb and flow with the Moon's monthly cycles. The Moon, the maternal orb of the
heavens, is the celestial force behind Cancer's great maternal and care-giving
nature. The energy of this instinct creates a warm, secure home environment, a
perfect love nest for the growing and cultivation of a healthy relationship.
Each of you has moods that change about four times a day, every two and a half
days, every month and every 18 or 19 years. You need to make the most of these
cycles, and establish goals with corresponding deadlines.
Your vein of sexuality runs deep, but follows a path strewn with obstacles,
often of your own making. Ruled by the Moon, you tend to flow with the tides and
are very reflective of your environment. Opening the floodgates of emotion to a
fellow soul is an enormous relief, but this can often lead to a serious problem
as time goes on. Sensitive Cancerians under pressure can retreat within
themselves and allow repressed emotions to bottle up until they either explode
with devastating force, or implode catastrophically, causing general meltdown.
Neither one of you is necessarily the most direct individual. Security is
something you're both aware of. Usually it's a top priority. Together, you are
definitely strong and protective of turf. You both like to start things and to
take the initiative. You're each restless, energetic, outgoing, opportunistic
and ambitious. Probably, you're both more busy than bored.
A Cancer's place is in the home. Once safely entrenched in their personal
sanctuary, the moody Crab may forget about the world outside, not paying mind to
the opinions of others, only concerned with what's going on behind their own
closed doors. This attitude carries over into relationships: Like their
cherished possessions and material comforts, Cancer never hesitates to defend a
loved one if threatened. This devotion and willingness to fight and toil for the
survival and success of their relationships are really a Crab's greatest
contributions to the game of love. It's no wonder Cancer's symbol is the
'crabby' scuttling Crab, for outbursts and flare-ups are common with this
emotional crustacean. While their mood swings may injure each other's feelings,
it's a Cancer's subtle mastery of the fine art of emotional manipulation that
one should watch out for.
The fluctuating Moon can reflect a moodiness in your nature that is not always
understood nor appreciated, even by another Crab, especially when you allow
irrational emotions to rule your otherwise sensible head. The problem is this:
when one Cancer is on an emotional high, so is the other. This is fine, isn't
it..? But what about when both Crabs are have a bad dose of the moody blues and
are both crawling dismally along the bottom of a very muddy pond? You have a lot
in common, and that's the trouble. You understand each other perfectly and can
wound each other without even trying. Both are too sensitive, too demanding, too
dependent. Cancer needs the sinuous flirtatious worship of the Fish, or the
slinky, supportive sexuality of the Scorpion, not the agonising nippers of a
fellow Crab. Enjoy it while it lasts, but don't become co-dependent. Unless you
have fabulous Moon and Ascendant connections, look elsewhere for love.
