I am Pisces, My Lover is Cancer

I am Pisces, My Lover is Cancer

This is a match made in heaven. Both of you are water signs, so you both feel emotion on a very deep level. You have a delicate touch with one another's feelings, and would never be insensitive if criticizing the other. Cancer's need for home and family is comforting and satisfying for Pisces. Your need for creativity and self-expression will inspire your Cancer lover, and you will share a magical blend of romance, sentimentality and enchantment.

Cancer and Pisces will create a private, safe haven together against the bustling world. Since stressful, busy times could bruise you both, you will find comfort together by taking time out near water, which you both love. Vacations with one another to locales where there is a beautiful view of the sea or a lake to paddle in could be the way to block out everyday cares, refresh your relationship, and take time to enjoy one another.

Cancers tend to be wise with money and like to invest, something that doesn't interest Pisces. They also know how to find bargains better than any of the other signs. Your Cancer could be good for your financial future!

Cancers are usually more moody than Pisces. At times their sulkiness could get you down, especially if you feel you may have slighted them in some way you can't quite figure out. Keep in mind that Cancers are delayed reactors -- they will respond to incidents that took place days or even weeks earlier. This could be the source of your confusion, Pisces. Getting a Cancer to talk when he or she is out of sorts will help dissolve the problem. You will have to gently pry open your Cancer's shell, though, which is not always easy. Intuitive Pisces feel their lover's pain as if it's their own, so Pisces know when to inquire and when to leave Cancer alone. Both signs are excellent listeners, shoulders to cry on, and sounding boards for advice. This strengthens the bond between you two enormously.

Sexually, you both intuitively know what the other one needs and wants at a given moment -- you each know what the other is feeling. Because of this intuitive link, Pisces and Cancer raise lovemaking to a truly high art.

You both are water signs, and water cleanses, refreshes, purifies, and stirs the emotions. This match can produce the kind of love great literature is written about.

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Cancer

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Cancer

Can Cancer, an emotional water sign, find true love with Aquarius, a rational, objective air sign? Not easily. You will find Cancer's need to stay at home difficult. Long after they have attended to their children's needs, they want to lavish even more time on family, and this could drive you to distraction. Just one more Sunday with your in-laws and you'll scream! Cancers will want to know why you aren't more interested in maintaining your roots and you will ask why they're so attached to the past.

Cancers need lots of attention -- something you don't often have time to give -- for your sign usually directs your energy out toward the world at large. If you love a Cancer, direct it outward to the world during the day, but save quality time for your tender Cancer in the evenings. They will honor you with their fidelity and will nurture you tenderly and compassionately. They will also cook you amazing dinners, create and maintain all kinds of fun family traditions, and provide you with the old-fashioned kind of home life you didn't think still existed. Be careful, because your unsentimental nature is very different from your romantic partner's, and you could unconsciously hurt your Cancer's feelings. The hardest part of this relationship is maybe having him or her plead with you to spend more time at home.

If you want this union to last, you will have to work at it. Your sensibilities are quite different, but if you want it to happen, it will!

I am Capricorn, My Lover is Cancer

I am Capricorn, My Lover is Cancer

Your Cancer sweetheart is born six months away from your birthday, so he or she will be either complementary to your personality or diametrically opposed to everything you value. In short, this pairing will bring you either perfection or pandemonium. The final outcome will be up to you.

Let's look at the pros and cons. Your sign rules the fame and honors house of the horoscope; thus, you are very ambitious and hope to achieve a responsible leadership position. You do very well in big organizations and politics, things others would have difficulty accomplishing. You understand chain of command, and you like orderly hierarchies because everyone in them knows what is expected. Your sign is an earth sign and therefore very practical.

Enter Cancer, an emotional water sign very different from your own. Cancer's natural domain is the home and family. While they work hard at their jobs, they are not willing to put in the single-minded effort that you do. This could be a lovely match, however, because a Cancer will nurture you and your children and provide the kind of life you dream about but have no idea how you are going to fit it into your schedule. We won't call your work habits your lifestyle -- for Capricorn, there usually isn't much time left life outside of work!

The problems that surface between you two could relate to the time you spend away from home. Cancer cannot fathom why you find work so interesting, and if he or she becomes upset, your Cancer will get sulky and moody. You, on the other hand, consider the Cancer focus on home and family a bit obsessive, and you think they spend too much time there. If you are dating a divorced Cancer with children, this can be especially true, for they will talk about the kids nonstop and may make plans to spend time with them that make you feel left out.

Capricorns are family-oriented too, and you will willingly visit your in-laws now and then, for you see benefit in upholding tradition and are interested in family lineage. You especially like talking with old-timers about life when they were young. Hearing history first-hand is exciting to you -- you could become the family biographer. Cancer would help you here, maybe by assisting you as you try to find old family photographs.

You are more practical than your partner and have talents for finance. But your Cancer is no spendthrift; they save money, bargain-hunt, and treat their income wisely. This is a good area of common ground.

Cancers are more emotional than you and may find your detached, earthy nature a bit too cool. Cancers like frequent displays of affection. When it comes to sex, however, you are both sensitive. In fact, it is hard to match the lovely emotional warmth of a Cancer. Cancers want to see fireworks when they make love, so woe unto you if you wear your wristwatch. They want your complete attention, and rightly so! Your Cancer will love you with an intensity that will thrill you. I suppose some Capricorns may find this kind of love smothering, but they are in the minority.

My bet is this relationship will be a strong and healthy one, where each of you gives exactly what the other lacks.

I am Sagittarius, My Lover is Cancer

I am Sagittarius, My Lover is Cancer

Can a Centaur (you) and a Crab (your lover) make things work? This is a hard relationship, but with some effort, you might get it working well. It won't be easy. Let's look at the obstacles.

Fundamentally, you come at life through different doors. Your lover is a water sign, highly emotional and moody. A Cancer in a bad or depressed mood for days at a time could be hard on your nerves. You, on the other hand, are a fire sign, an element that does not mix well with water. Being a mutable sign, you are more flexible than your partner. You could find your lover's hesitancy to deal with change puzzling at best, and irritating at worst. You keep your vision trained on the future, while Cancers like to look back. This would be all right, if only they didn't engage in "I coulda, shoulda, woulda" so frequently when looking back on events. You don't feel this serves any purpose, and sometimes you are right.

On the plus side, your Cancer will nurture you from the depths of his or her soul. Cancers are excellent listeners and will pay careful attention to what you say, offering their sound advice at the end. You will know your Cancer loves you -- few signs give as much in a relationship as Cancer. Cancers are slighted easily, so watch your Sagittarius' penchant for brutal honesty; it will bruise your tender Cancer's soul. Once you blurt something out that's hurtful, it is impossible to take it back; Cancers, of all the signs, will remember what you say forever. Cancer has the memory of an elephant.

Sexually, Cancers can bring lovemaking to heights you have never experienced! Be careful not to take this intimacy with your lover too lightly. This is no casual affair to him or her -- still waters run deep. Cherish your Cancer. The love you receive in return will astound you.

In all, this is a hard relationship to make work because of the differences in your temperaments. But it is possible if you give each other lots of tender loving care.

I am Scorpio, My Lover is Cancer

I am Scorpio, My Lover is Cancer

Are you in love with a Cancer? Then you have chosen one of your best possible matches. This pairing gets a "10!" Your Cancer is as deeply emotional and empathetic as you are, and together you will develop a rich, intimate life unequalled by any other sign match (except for Pisces and Scorpio). Both of you have your moods, but you allow that in one another, and view the changing emotional landscape as interesting and adding texture to your life. Cancer is a water sign like you, and your lover understands the need for strong, intuitive bonding. Of the two, you are the more inflexible, but Cancer's ability to flow with changing events will be an asset to you.

Sex together will be outstanding. Cancers want a family, and Scorpio rules procreation, so this could well be a very fruitful union. Cancer also rules nurturing, so you will have the kind of home life you always dreamed of.

Now a word of warning: Scorpios want one great love in their lifetime, so if they marry the wrong person due to pressures and circumstances, the results can be disastrous. Prince Charles is a Scorpio and was married to Princess Diana, who was a Cancer. But his true love was the other Cancer -- Camilla. So here you see a Cancer-Scorpio pair that did not last. The moral, Scorpio, is to be sure that you marry your one true love. Even compatible Sun signs can't override that rule!

A Cancer in love, whether in the beginning or after years of life together, offers food as an expression of love. So cook together, feed one another, make love in the kitchen. Have fun! You've got lots to look forward to, Scorpio. Don't let this one get away!

I am Libra, My Lover is Cancer

I am Libra, My Lover is Cancer

Think twice about this relationship, Libra. It can work if you try, but you may find that the temperamental differences are so great that it may be impossible for you to bridge the gap. Why? For starters, your Cancer lover is a homebody and you like to go out as much as possible. You love new experiences and meeting new people, while they find that kind of lifestyle to be a waste of their time. Cancer's domesticity might drive you up the wall, especially when you realize that your lover hoped you were June or Ward Cleaver from the old '50s sitcom "Leave it to Beaver" -- you never will be anything remotely like that. Many Cancers are walking around with an old-fashioned vision of what family life ought to be, and in the early stages of the relationship you may not see this coming. But a lovely, warm, and inviting home is something you both want, so at least that is on your side. The difference is you like to entertain friends, but they want to entertain family.

Secondly, you are an air sign -- an analytical, communicative, and intellectual creature. Your lover, on the other hand, is a water sign, full of sentimentality, romance and feelings. Now this may sound great to you at first, but in time, you may find Cancer's changing moods unfathomable. A Pisces or Scorpio would have the patience and intuition to understand where Cancer is coming from, but after a while you probably won't have the stamina or interest to figure those moods out.

Sexually, your Cancer is a talented lover; he or she will lavish you with attention and romantic gestures. At first this will be wonderful, because Cancers are a dream in bed. However, later they can become a bit possessive or even jealous of your time, asking you to explain your schedule in detail. Your lover will wonder why you can't be more emotional and compassionate with him or her, and you will wonder why he or she can't be more rational and just let you be you.

If you love your Cancer, you may have other planets in your horoscope, which meld beautifully with his, or hers -- so don't give up hope. Even if there are no such planets in either of your charts, remind yourself that astrology is not destiny. If you truly love someone, no obstacle is too great to overcome.

I am Virgo, My Lover is Cancer

I am Virgo, My Lover is Cancer

In astrology, the water sign Cancer and the earth sign Virgo are considered a very nurturing combination. Cool waters enrich the earth and give birth to fresh life. Thus, if you find areas of disagreement with your lover, you are likely to find a way back together; the aspect between your two Suns is called a "sextile" or opportunity aspect. Communication will always be especially good.

Both of you are worriers because you are dependable, reliable people. But you will have a soothing effect on your Cancer lover. Cancers are far more emotional than you are -- something you may not see until later. Cancers can be unpredictably moody. Watching a Cancer's face is to see the changing landscape of the soul -- at once cloudy, then sunny -- it can actually be a beautiful thing. Cancers often don't react to things that happen to them right away, preferring to chew on their feelings for a while. The moodiness you see is them running through all the possible reactions they could have to whatever they're focused on. Often there is no indication their internal weather is about to change. This can be a bit unnerving, but just take their moods with a shrug and a smile, and rest assured all will be right again soon. In the meantime, you may need to go off by yourself to avoid adopting your lover's internal turmoil. Cancer may not understand your need to withdraw, but the Virgo yearning for meditation will become too strong to for you to resist. Virgos need to figure things out and analyze problems, whatever they may be. If your lover is smart, he or she will give you the space you need. The elasticity of the bond between you will ultimately keep your union strong. Soon you will be back together, stronger than before.

You both like to work, but for different reasons. Cancers are sure every rainy day is tomorrow. They like to stock up on things, whether it be food, money in the bank, or anything else they think they will need to guard home and family from disaster. This instinct to save is what makes Cancers quite wealthy sometimes. Virgos like to work for the sake of working, and take pride in their accomplishments. You, Virgo, are programmed to harvest the fruits of the earth at the end of summer, the time of your birth.

In bed, you move together in your own beautiful unique dance, listening to the whispering sound of water running over earth. Earth responds and conforms to water, accommodating it as the two melt into one another. Cancers realize you are reserved and delicate and respect your yearning for gentle, refined tenderness. Neither of you feels sex should be a casual or offhand affair, but rather a commitment and blending of souls in a sacred way. You find depth and beauty in your relationship.

Hold on to your Crab. Cancers can get possessive early on in relationships, which could go against your grain, but before you leave in a huff, ask for more time. You have a natural flow with one another, and an ability to heal and forgive each other when problems surface. Your stars will work to help you succeed.

I am Leo, My Lover is Cancer

I am Leo, My Lover is Cancer

Signs side-by-side on the zodiac wheel are often opposites; the second sign makes up for what the first sign lacks. Thus, when you met your Cancer, you instinctively knew this person has traits you wish you had, and knows things about the world you wish you knew. Cancer is, after all, the most caring and sensitive of signs. Cancers read body language easily and always seem to know where people stand emotionally. This is because they are a water sign, and have been given a certain amount of telepathic ability. Cancer will use this ability to soothe you and nurture you exquisitely.

A Crab in love is wonderful to experience -- they are tender, warm, and loving in the most genuine way. Cancers will not play mind games or lead you on. As a Leo, you grab life with both hands and enjoy it to the max. Your Cancer loves this in you, even though they can't quite master your art of living. They enjoy your grand and elegant generosity, your sense of style and purpose, even though they freak out at the money you spend. Crabs are thrifty bargain hunters, something completely alien to you, because they always (gasp!) save money! This could pose a problem later, because money and its allocation is the number one thing couples fight about.

You will admire their deep love of home and family. You don't think you will ever have the patience to get up and down all night with a fussy baby. But you will crawl around the floor with a little one and enjoy playing pretend. You won't cook up huge feasts on holidays as Cancers do, but you will surely want to contribute your specialty dish and enjoy the compliments that result. If it's your idea rather than your responsibility, you can easily see yourself as a part of a family. You are so dramatic that you have to watch taking too much credit for your Cancer's efforts (bringing up the children, and those aforementioned dinners, for instance). If you only look for the big picture of the happy family, you may not be aware of your tendency to overlook who did what, and this will hurt the feelings of your Cancer lover!

Cancers wish they had your confidence and elan. You don't worry about things like Cancer does (nobody could), and this is another area of potential conflict. Cancers react after, not during the event. A month after an incident happens, they may discover they didn't like your attitude (or their own), or the way something was handled. This will come out of left field for you the first couple of times, but you will begin to see the pattern in their behavior. They are moody and they tend to look back into the past a lot. This is all news to you, for you don't do this, nor did you notice this in your Cancer when you met. Cancers withdraw to quietly go over things again and again in their minds. When you notice this (and years may go by before you do), you must realize Cancer's restlessness and frustration will increase as long as there is no way for them to let their feelings out. Unless you pry open their shell and get them to talk as soon as you can, Cancer is liable to burst with a sense of deep unhappiness until they can come to terms by themselves with what is troubling them.

At first you may need to give your Cancer a little time alone. Some of the first smoke signals they send up may not be what is really wrong, but what they think you want to hear. You will need to dig deeper. You may not be equipped to handle this as well as a water sign might, because they have a special third eye helping them unravel mysteries. A great deal is going to depend on your attitude. Make sure it is one of cheerful helpfulness, not criticism. Cancer is ruled by the moon and the changing tides, and even they don't always know what troubles them. You can help them sort things out if you try hard. And if not you, who will?

Cancers trust their lovers above anyone else, which is why you have the ability to hurt them deeply. Realize that because you are a fire sign and Cancer is a water sign, Cancer has the ability to destroy the relationship if he or she feels threatened. Water puts out fire. Cancers are not weak and helpless, although you may think they are. Believe me, they are not.

Another pattern of Cancer you may find troubling is their knack of going into things indirectly, in a sideways motion, like when confronting an issue. If you don't see this coming, it may seem like a sneaky tactic. This is a sign Cancer has lost his or her confidence; only the brave face things head-on. In this case, cut your lover some slack and be grateful that he or she had the courage to raise the issue at all.

When you are alone with your Cancer, in the darkened bedroom, you will discover the thrilling lover you have found. The chemistry will be like catnip to you, and you will purr under Cancer's spiritual, loving and endlessly considerate attention. Cancer will spend as much time on you as you could ever fantasize he or she would, and not because Cancer feels obligated or is hoping you'll reciprocate in kind. No, this is emotion communicated with a free spirit. You will be astonished by Cancer's spiritual depth. If you baby your lover, your lover will baby you back, taming the roaring Lion into a frisky kitten. Cancers are so used to taking care of the world and everyone in it, that to be taken care of in return is beyond their wildest expectations. Treasure your Cancer, and hold on to them. You aren't as different as you may think.

I am Cancer, My Lover is Cancer

I am Cancer, My Lover is Cancer

Cancer and Cancer is a true Romeo and Juliet combination -- a pairing of two moon-in-June romantics. Can your relationship work without the same disastrous results of those star-crossed lovers? Absolutely!

Cancers need emotional intensity as well as frequent, honest displays of affection, attentiveness and warmth. This is true not only in the early stages of a relationship, but after many years have gone by, too. Cancers who feel short-changed will shrivel up and die like unwatered plants. Your Cancer lover understands your needs exactly, for he or she needs the same thing. You both value home and family above all else and make excellent, caring parents. This is a relationship that doesn't depend on words for communication; you speak to one another in symbols and gestures, whether they be acts of kindness or a tender gaze.

You are both ruled by the moon, so the downside to the relationship is that you both are moody. When you are going through a hard time, chances are your partner will be, too. But that is a tiny price to pay for such a compatible and sympathetic partner.

You also have to watch out for too great an emphasis on the past. Cancers like to look back and reminisce. As a matter of fact, Cancers tend to complain about the present, and then rewrite history in glowing terms, longing to go back. This can be a problem if both of you indulge. If one of you is divorced with children, you may treat your lover like he or she isn't as important to you as your kids, which can feel insulting to your sensitive Cancer.

In bed, you both are sweet, tender and caring. Together you have the ability to make the earth really move! Water signs read gesture and expression better than any other sign, so bed is where you can express approval, admiration, joy, celebration, forgiveness, and, best of all, love. You both have a near-psychic ability to read each other's thoughts and transmit reassurance.

Sprinkle your bed with rose petals and celebrate love with your sentimental Cancer. They could be the best of the best for you!

I am Gemini, My Lover is Cancer

I am Gemini, My Lover is Cancer

On the surface, it could seem like there are too many differences between Gemini and Cancer for this union to work. But if we look closer we can see why such a pairing could be the best thing for both, provided you give it a good try. You're an air sign your lover is a water sign, and together that is an effervescent mix!

First, the differences. Cancers are rooted in their home and family and need to set up roots. But Gemini, you can live out of a suitcase indefinitely, for you want to see as many different places as possible. You're eternally curious and could travel the world your whole life long. I think the character of Francesca in "The Bridges of Madison County" must've been a frustrated Gemini -- for after just a handful of hours with her photographer lover, she was ready to bolt despite her family obligations.

Your Cancer lover wants traditions, family holidays, children, a house, a back yard, and a mortgage. You would most likely prefer the variety and excitement of living in the city, or maybe even several cities, over a few years' time. You need change and stimulation; and without it you will become dull and depressed. You want children too, perhaps, but you'd rather just sling them on your back and bring them along as you globetrot. "The experience will be marvelous for them!" you think. Your lover would rather create a sheltered, storybook sanctuary for the kids to grow up in. But cut off Gemini from the stream of life and they become like the Emperor's Nightingale from the children's story: entrapped in a golden cage, they are no longer able to sing.

But on the other hand, Gemini, you need some water influence in your life. Cancers are highly sensitive and in touch with their feelings. Your Cancer lover is very sensuous, and could teach you a thing or two about enjoying touch, taste, sound, smell and sight. He or she will bring poetry and beauty into your life, and together you can explore a wider emotional spectrum than you ever could on your own. Your Cancer may even -- lo and behold! -- extend that famously short attention span of yours!

A Cancer will appreciate all the fun new people you add to your circle of friends, and will have a much more interesting life because of it. Cancer is a bit reserved, and may have to get used to the partying and socializing that come as naturally to you as breathing. This is just Gemini's way of keeping in touch! Cancer's meticulous maintenance of family correspondence with cousins, in-laws, siblings, parents, neighbors, old school chums, and so forth could get on your nerves. But you'll be flexible Gemini and cheerfully agree to tag along.

In bed, Cancers expect lovemaking to be a life-altering experience every time. What surprises you, Gemini, is that it usually is, because Cancer's feelings are authentic and deep. They may wish yours went deeper, but things may develop in time. Your Cancer will help you dive to the depths of the relationship, and, in so doing, you will not only learn about him or her but yourself, too. You are the stronger of the two partners; Cancer can be a bit tentative sexually at first. But you can certainly use your charm to seduce him or her into seducing you! Your contribution to the pairing is a sense of lighthearted fun, something Cancer will anticipate with relish.

Go for it Gemini, even though this is not a classic pairing. You both have your challenges, but each of you could give to the relationship what the other lacks. Gemini and Cancer are a combination that has the potential to be as sweet as chocolate & peanut butter, and just as addictive!

I am Taurus, My Lover is Cancer

I am Taurus, My Lover is Cancer

You've found a soul mate. You and Cancer want the same things: family, home, stability, security, and a nice nest egg. Both of you are sensual, and Cancer's innate ESP will sense your every wish before you can even open your mouth. Your lover will baby you so you will get the hint and baby them back -- something Cancers love. How can this relationship fail? It should be cuddly, close and cozy warm during your private time together.

As a Taurus, you probably keep your Cancer lover supplied with herbs from the garden and flowers for the dining table. Your Cancer shows love best by cooking and you are happy to accept such tasty offerings. You both love to eat and whip up amazing dishes together, so you can start your seduction process in the kitchen and later head to the bedroom.

Having enough money means a lot to you both, although Taurus will spend for more luxuries than will Cancer. Cancer will buy a wonderful coat and wear it for a decade. Taurus will buy insurance, stocks and bonds, and then spend the rest on a stereo or a new car. Cancer will buy enough food to supply a small bomb shelter and bank the rest of the money in a conservative, safe, savings account. If your Cancer lover needs something special, he or she will wait for a sale or get it wholesale. You, on the other hand, are enjoy shopping retail in fine boutiques. If Cancers need more money, they'll cut back on expenses. If you need more money, you'll march out and find a better job, an additional job, or a new investment strategy that generates more income. This difference in money style doesn't matter in the end, for the result is the same -- a bigger bank account. Unlike Leos or Capricorns who need money to earn respect, you and Cancer just need it to have a happier life.

In bed, thanks to your earthy erotic style and Cancer's deeply emotional approach to love, you have a passionate, nurturing union of two souls. Taurus like to take their time seducing their sweethearts, which is just fine with a Cancer. Since you only get better with time, Taurus, and hit your sexual peak later in life, you and your lover have a lot to look forward to! Cancer will want little love notes now and then or at least some candles around the bedroom. Can you oblige by being more romantic? Try! When you make love you are both as tender as can be and so genuine in your expression of feelings. What more could either of you ask?

I am Aries, My Lover is Cancer

I am Aries, My Lover is Cancer

Your lover has different attributes than you do, but how this relationship shapes up will depend on your attitudes. Cancers put down strong roots and need their families. You, on the other hand, have a perspective focused outward toward the world. You want to take risks, try new enterprises, and test your strength. Your Cancer craves stability and could actually fear your quest to put your individual stamp upon the world. He or she might ask you why you can't just have a "real job" like other people do, working for someone else. Even if you work for a company, no doubt you harbor plans to become independent someday. You will probably plot your departure with the same relish as a prisoner about make a run for it -- through the ducts, over the wall, and into the river toward freedom.

Your Cancer will ask you why you aren't home more often. You'll retort that he or she has no idea what it takes to be successful -- that it take more time, energy, focus, and strategy than he or she could ever imagine. Cancers have little of your driving ambition, so your lover will readily agree with you but will still wonder why you want such a workaholic life.

You can have a good home life with a Cancer, if you set aside your differences. With a Cancer you can have the cozy home life you never thought was possible with your frenetic schedule. Your Cancer will make a loving and attentive mate and parent, for Cancer finds ultimate fulfillment in family. You may have to visit relatives now and then (yours and theirs), which isn't so bad -- you could stand to strengthen those ties, Aries.

In bed, your different styles will surface dramatically. Your lover wants romance, but you are all about raw passion without finessing or caressing. You aren't very sentimental, which could be disappointing to your lover -- you might have to try harder on this count, Aries. It wouldn't hurt to try writing a love note or two. Also, when your confidence flags, you might indulge in a dalliance to bolster your morale, something your moon-ruled lover would never allow, so be careful of those impulses and think twice, for it will ruin your relationship.

Cancer is a highly emotional sign, and moody too. Their moods don't always come and go on a daily basis, though sometimes they might. Cancer can be sunny and mellow for months -- even years -- and then suddenly hit a funk which lasts for hours, days, weeks, or even months. When your Cancer withdraws, chances are you may not have the patience to pry his or her shell back open. To an Aries, a Cancer can seem to sulk and whine, but you may come off as heartless and preoccupied if you complain. Cancers fear letting go and being abandoned. Aries are afraid of being hemmed-in and losing their freedom. If this relationship is to last, both of you are going to have to be more empathetic.

Of course, there are laid-back Aries, perhaps living on Mars. There could be a non-emotional Cancer, but likely living on the moon. Face it: This relationship is going to require hard work; however, the rewards are worth it -- a more romantic and sensitive inner emotional life for you and a more exciting, adventuresome, and vibrant outer life for your Cancer lover. The final resolution? It's up to you.
