Cancer, the Crab
It's all about the home and family, for this is the sign of The Great Mother. You are kind, maternal and nurturing, and symbolized by the Crab, who is also fond of staying in his home. Like the crab, you also try to blend into your environment and retreat to the safety of your shell when you feel threatened or hurt. You are nurturing, highly intuitive, protective and comforting. You are the astrological Teacher.
Cancers are the Children of The Moon; in ancient days, the Moon was referred to as The Great Mother of the Sky. It's no wonder that many of you either have, or want large families. Your main focus in life is on your home and family, and you work hard to create a comfortable, cozy nest for your loved ones. The Moon is a mysterious and feminine energy. It affects our ocean tides and represents our subconscious. Diana the Huntress (the Virgin Goddess), rules over the Moon.
Your element is Water, which influences the emotions. This element indicates an acute intuition and heightened sensitivity. You feel emotions deeply, it's rarely middle of the road for you, black and white with little to no gray. You are never just alright; you are either deeply sad or exuberantly happy. When hurt emotionally, you feel cut to the core and will retreat until you are able to cope with the pain. It is because Waters are ruled by their emotions, and they feel them so deep, that they are among the most empathic in the zodiac. As a Cancer, you are also highly nurturing and protective because you never want anyone (especially those whom you feel who need protecting), to feel the sting of emotional pain the way you do. You want to wrap your arms around the world and bring comfort to the afflicted.
Mondays are your luckiest day of the week with evening as your luckiest hour; your numbers are threes and sevens. Your colors are violet and silver, and your astrological birthstone is the pearl. Pearls are also known as Raindrops from Heaven. In ancient times, it was believed that pearls were the heart of the oyster, and it was said that a pearl formed when a drop of rain fell from the Heavens and landed on it's shell. The flowers associated with Cancer are the Larkspur and Accanthus.

Cancer Compatibility with Aries
The combination of water and fire signs can present some challenges. You and your Aries mate are polar opposites. Cancer always feels the need to take care of others and fix their problems, and that may have been the initial attraction for you with Aries, who sometimes will find themselves in situations that need some fixing. You are highly compassionate and the relationship works on that level, but you also prefer a quieter life and Aries has a tendency to be a bit loud, plus they have a more forceful personality. For this combination to work, you'll have to toughen up your crab shell and be more expressive in your passion; your Aries is unlikely to be the first to compromise, but when in love, they will definitely show it.

Cancer Compatibility with Taurus
This combination of water and earth is simply beautiful. You both want the same things, a great family life, a comfortable home and security. Both of you are sensual and communicate on a higher level, even telepathically. Your Taurus is a faithful partner and so very down to earth, a perfect partner for you. A Taurus has an eloquence in their romantic whispers, and you will fall dreamily under their spell. Both of you feel more secure when your finances are in order, and having a nest egg is important to each of you. Cancer will be the one who saves while Taurus will find ways to earn. This is such an excellent union for marriage and long term relationships, including business.

Cancer Compatibility with Gemini
Water and air, and this can pose some difficulties. You prefer the comfort of home, but your Gemini is a wanderer who really likes to be on the go. The security you seek is difficult for your Gemini to provide because they have dual personalities and can change their minds, attitudes, preferences and even topics of conversation from one moment to the next. Gemini is out-going and flirtatious and this can have you feeling jealous or possessive. If you are able to tolerate the craziness of Gemini without compromising yourself in the process, and if Gemini is willing to calm down a bit, this could be an interesting union.

Cancer Compatibility with Cancer
The combination of water and water is always wonderful, but when it's with two Cancers, you have the makings for a beautiful love story; a real life fairy tale. This is one of the strongest unions in the zodiac and very romantic. You are both empathic, sensitive and emotional; you have the ability to communicate with each other telepathically, and you do so without even thinking about it. The only downside to this relationship would be possessiveness and jealousies, both of you can be insecure at times; the good thing is that you each understand those feelings, and are more forgiving of them than the other sun signs. A lifetime union, love, marriage, best friends, business, whatever you name it, this is a great combination.

Cancer Compatibility with Leo
Water and fire! Not the easiest combination to maintain. When things are good between you two, they can be great, but not all good things last. It will take an awful lot of effort from you to make this union work. Leo is ruled by the Sun and has a need to be the center of your universe. Your Leo's sophistication and over the top display of romance will definitely have you smitten with your lion-kitten. There is a love story about the Sun and the Moon; they are very much in love, but because the Sun and the Moon must remain on different sides of the earth, they cannot marry. But, there are times each month when they are closer together in the sky; during daylight, when the Moon is close to the Sun, you will see a crescent in the sky, that's him shining love beams upon her while she smiles back to her true love, the Sun. Cancer and Leo can be deeply in love, but in order to make this union last, one of you will have to spend more time in the realm of the other. You are more flexible and more giving; just don't lose yourself there.

Cancer Compatibility with Virgo
Water and earth, and a great partnership with each sign complementing the other. Hugs and other sweet displays of affection are exactly the gifts you adore. This exciting combination has a great chance for success. You have so much in common, and Virgo will love that you care enough to get jealous. Virgo will tend to show love rather than speak it, which suits you just fine. Virgo is thrifty, and you like saving; together, you each receive the financial security you both desire. This will be a very happy relationship.

Cancer Compatibility with Libra
Water and air; Cancer and Libra. On many levels, this is nothing short of a very difficult relationship. You are mysterious, and your cheerful Libra may not always understand your darker moods; Libra is sensitive to your feelings though, so speak up when you feel hurt. If you choose instead to crawl into your shell, you will only build a wall between the two of you. While you love staying around the home, maybe cuddling on the sofa and watching a good movie, Libra is the Social Butterfly of the zodiac, and would find life around the house tiresome. Both of you love family, and this common ground is a great foundation for you to build on. To make a relationship with Libra work, you would have to let go of jealousies, because Libra hates any form of arguing, and scandalous displays make them run. This union works in the short term, but to make it last one of you would have to change dramatically; most likely, it will be you.

Cancer Compatibility with Scorpio
Water and water, Cancer and Scorpio are perfect together. Both of you are similar in many ways. You both are deeply sensitive and like your symbols, the crab and the scorpion, you two have tough outer shells. Each is happiest at home and since Scorpio is highly dominant, and you are more easy-going and nurturing, this relationship will flow smoothly. Another commonality is jealousy, you both have issues with it, but you understand each other so well that it won't cause a struggle, and actually that is the way you each define love, by possessiveness. Even though you know how deep emotions can run, it will still be a lot of work for you to lift Scorpio from the deep recesses of their insecurities. Scorpio prefers to hide inside the safety of it's shell; you do as well, at times. This sweet combination of sun signs is a real life love story with a happy, fairy tale ending... and they lived happily ever after.

Cancer Compatibility with Sagittarius
Water and fire... OUCH! Be careful you don't get burned. Sagittarius is a wanderer and Cancer has a very sensitive, nurturing, stay-at-home personality. People are drawn to your Sagittarius, and because you can be such a possessive crab, this could have you feeling like you may want to show your claws. It will be hard to pin down a Sagittarius, as they love to go from one adventure to another. The greatest difficulty though is that Sagittarius tends to be rather blunt, and does not have the depth of emotion that you do; they may not understand why their words can hurt you, and certainly not as much as they actually do. You are both so different, that in order to make this relationship work, your Sagittarius would have to settle down quite a bit, and learn to be more tactful when expressing themselves. It will be difficult for sure, but anything is possible. When the flames are extinguished, the water evaporates; just be careful.

Cancer Compatibility with Capricorn
Earth and water, and in this case it can go either way. This is a very interesting combination because you will either complement one another or oppose each other. There is an equal chance either way. In many ways you are a perfect fit; Capricorn feels misunderstood by the world, and you are understanding, and can bring them great comfort. Both of you have the same attitudes concerning money, and Capricorn can certainly earn it. Neither of you are extroverts, and family is very important to you both. Jealousy most likely won't be an issue because Capricorn is very loyal. On the other hand, Capricorn is more of a realist and you can be a dreamer. You understand people intuitively and can see the good in them, even when you have to dig deep to find it; Capricorn can be more guarded and slower to trust. You will just adore Capricorn's quirky sense of humor, but will have difficulty understanding why they work so many hours, after all, you enjoy each other's company and would like to spend more time together. So, as you can see, this is a complicated union, but if you two can make it work, it's a powerful combination.

Cancer Compatibility with Aquarius
Water and air rarely work well together. Aquarius is the scientist of the zodiac, with an inclination towards research, technology and reasoning They are guided by the rational, and you are guided by intuition and emotion. Aquarians are independent and this could be an issue for you. Also, they are less flexible and more dominant, so in order to make it work for the long term, you would have to be the one to adapt.

Cancer Compatibility with Pisces
Water and water, and boy does this work! This is an amazing combination for many reasons. Your Pisces will just adore the way you pamper and spoil them; they will love way you create a happy, comfortable home and family life. You are both highly empathic, and more so with each other. You need financial security, and so you must be the one to handle the finances, because your Pisces has an incredible and generous bleeding heart and will give away all you've saved to every poor soul who asks, and sometimes even before they ask. This union is more than wonderful, it's magical.
