Star Sign Compatibility Reading

Cancer with Aquarius

  

When Cancer and Aquarius make a love match, it can be a case of opposites attracting. Cancer takes an emotional approach to life, Aquarius, an offbeat, unconventional approach. While Cancer often retreats into its shell, Aquarius takes every opportunity to be the extrovert, the organizer and party animal. They love to find themselves amongst friends; social settings are simply their thing! If a Cancer and an Aquarius can find a way to combine these qualities in a positive way, they can go anywhere together. Essentially, Cancer is a good person who needs to deal with family and emotional issues. Cancer's hugs are world class and Cancer's snuggles are second to none. Cancer is 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. When Cancer meets an Aquarian it can be love at first sight, for the sexual attraction is intense. This fascination is partly due to the very different ways in which you each approach the world. Aquarius is intellectually adventurous, emotionally detached and fairly self-contained. Cancer is creative, yet deeply emotional and quite tender at heart, beneath that legendary shell. Cancers sensuality and romantic imagination will intrigue the Water Bearer, whose sexual fires are stoked by your willingness to enjoy the excitement of those unconventional Aquarian appetites.

Cancer is not necessarily the most direct individual. Security is something Cancer is always aware of. Usually it's a top priority. Cancer is definitely strong and protective of turf. Both Cancer and Aquarius can be ambitious and determined. They want to get their way, and neither likes to conflict. Cancer can be old-fashioned, attached to tradition and routine, their morals more conservative than progressive. Aquarius, on the other hand, is very modern and likely numbed by routine, yawning at the dull and the boring in which Cancer sometimes finds comfort. Cancer may be intrigued by their Aquarius lover's sense of excitement, but this traditional Crab could get frustrated trying to keep up with this revolutionary's mind. Though Aquarius won't appreciate the possessiveness of a pinching Crab, they could find great comfort in the solid base Cancer provides. Just try to get them to admit it!Aquarius is friendly and likes people. But if the people are emotionally needy, then Aquarius needs space. Aquarius can march to the beat of a different drummer. Aquarius can have an eccentric temperament and can be just a bit strong, original, independent, unpredictable and contrary. Aquarius is well suited to become an idea person.

Cardinal Cancer, a Water Sign, is ruled by the changing Moon, while unconventional Aquarius, an Air Sign, is ruled by structured Saturn and offbeat Uranus. Saturn is intellectual, cool and structured, while the Moon is nurturing, inward-looking and growth-oriented. This mixture, when put in a structured goal-directed environment, can be very productive, due to Cancers canny creativity and motivated emotional power, combined with the Water Bearer's lateral thinking and ability to maintain a steady approach. The combination of nurtured growth and structured development and of masculine and feminine energy is potentially rewarding, but you'll need to develop mutual goals and work together on projects that you can share, so that the energies can be put to work instead of degenerating into jealousy and restlessness. Aquarius can become a fabulous communicator, perceptive, intelligent and highly intuitive. Aquarius is no snob or hypocrite. On the contrary, Aquarius has the potential to develop tremendous social skills. The more Aquarius adopts the "live and let live" attitude, the more friends Aquarius will make. In the relationship between Cancer and Aquarius adjustment is the key. You both need to give more than you get. This association requires extra sensitivity. At first, each may be somewhat irritated about each other. In time, with work, the very thing that caused the irritation may lead to personal fulfilment. You can't force growth in this alliance- go along with the changes. To beat the odds, change your routines.

The Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and Saturn (Karma) and Uranus (Rebellion) rules Aquarius. The Moon is a radiant, feminine energy and Saturn is a cool, contained masculine energy. Uranus is about all things abnormal and novel. The Moon is emotional and concerned with growth and domesticity, both of which become central themes in many Cancer's lives. Saturn deals with hard work and the discipline required for achievement, while Uranus symbolizes forward thought. This combination makes sense for an Aquarian, as they are futurists unafraid of getting their hands dirtied by labour. Cancer mates can teach social, intellectual Aquarius lovers the value of emotional impulses, and their feminine influence will bring beauty and comfort into the home. While Cancer teaches the valuable lesson of an open heart, Aquarius can come right back with the usefulness of a detached heart. Aquarians are blessed to be able to extricate themselves from uncontrollable situations and to re-evaluate goals if they get off-course. Not necessarily cold, Aquarius could still benefit from Cancer's warm, feminine Moon-based influence.

The Water Bearer's need for freedom and independence can be quite threatening, for stability and security are high on your list of needs. Aquarius, who is fundamentally a lone wolf, likes to spend plenty of time alone to explore the mental avenues so dear to that Sign. To be fair, Cancers emotional nature, which is both demonstrative and possessive can imperil this independence and hem in the Water Bearer, who will then retreat to an ivory tower, if not actually packing up and moving to Katmandu. You need emotional closeness, but Aquarius fears this kind of intimacy. If you love an Aquarian, you'll need to modify your demands if you want to keep the relationship alive.
