Because of this, they appeal to Aquarius and Libra, signs that just love to eat up affection and attention. Granted, Gemini also wants a level of attention, but not as desperately as Aquarius and Libra. Gemini also does pretty well with other Geminis, because they're able to handle each other in ways that other signs may not be able to.
Because Cancer can be a bit jealous, due to having watched too many romantic comedies growing up, Scorpio and Pisces fit the bill. Scorpio, with their meticulous attention to detail , can weave things in such a way so as to diffuse any jealousy on the part of Cancer. Pisces, although equally romantic as Cancer, provides a more even tone to the pairing, allowing for a smooth-sailing relationship — but not too smooth-sailing.
Cancer does love their drama, after all. So Pisces would never take that completely away from them, meaning, Pisces can be dramatic when the moment calls for it.
Best Matches
You're most compatible with Sagittarius, Libra, Gemini, and Aries. Because Leos tend to be demanding when it comes to love, these signs are willing to put up with this behavior. Like any lion who thinks they run the show, Leo also needs to be admired, adored, and treated like royalty. While Sagittarius, Libra, and Gemini have no qualms in doing this for a Leo they love, Aries is a bit tougher to crack.
Cancer & Taurus
What makes Aries and Leo work so well is the challenge they present each other: the lion and ram, staring each other down, inspiring a lust for life and love. Since Virgo is an Earth sign , it's important that they stick to other Earth signs like Taurus and Capricorn. Not only do they complement each other, but they share a practical approach to all that life has to offer. Honestly, practical and practical go together like peanut butter and jelly. Yes, the peacefulness is a lovely contrast to brash Leo, but Libra and Leo also share something else: a love for the finer things in life.
However, similar to Gemini, Libra can also be compatible with a fellow Libra, making for a "beautiful and peaceful relationship.
Cancer Love Chart
It's the mysterious quality that these signs share that make for a powerful union of love and happiness. Two Scorpios together feed off each other's love of secrecy, solving problems, and finding truth and justice. Pisces, although very much a contrast to Scorpio, also works, because they both have a seedy side to them that only each other can truly appreciate. Both are also fearless in their devotion to those they love, and when you're a sign that values devotion, you want to be with someone else that puts it on a pedestal too. You're most compatible with Leo, Aries, Aquarius, and Libra.
Since Sagittarius can get bored easily and a lot faster than most, they are able to deliver and keep things nice and spicy — a quality that these four signs find very desirable. Although Leo will never bore of talking and thinking about themselves, they will bore of situations, which make them and Sagittarius a fit. As two of the most laid-back, anything-goes signs of the astrological chart, Aquarius and Libra are always up for an adventure, and adventures are Sagittarius' specialty. Aries may seem a bit uptight, at first glance, for Sagittarius, but Aries needs Sagittarius — even if it's only for a short-lived, whirlwind romance.
A proper whirlwind would do Aries good. You're most compatible with Pisces , Scorpio, Virgo, and Taurus. It's doubtful that both signs will swim out of their dream world to take care of the mundane, but one of them must eventually dip into the real world long enough to pay a few bills and figure out the budget. At first, this will seem like the perfect relationship, but unless it's tempered with a few doses of reality-checks, a Pisces and Cancer couple could end up being carried too far off course and caught in a rip tide or worse, tossed onto the beach.
Metaphors aside, one partner will need to be better grounded in reality in order for this relationship to flourish into the once-in-a-lifetime love it could be. Earth signs work well with water signs to co-create a life together. Earth gives water form and contains the many energies and ideas flowing from water signs. Water signs nourish earth and help grow ideas into profitable business ventures as well as a home and family. Cancer longs for security and stability. People of this sign want a solid financial foundation and a home they can enjoy.
Capricorn's ambition excites Cancer who understands the importance of goal setting. Home and business will be closely interconnected. Cap would make a great business partner with Cancer. This pair could build a dynasty and love every moment working together to create it. Cancer will expect Taurus to come charging in, but will be pleasantly surprised by the bull's sense of style and taking things slowly - at first.
Taurus' sensual nature and deep appreciation for beauty will quickly win over the sensitive Cancer. The Bull's love of the finer things in life fits in with Cancer's appreciation for creating a home. Together, this pair knows what they want, and they can have it all. This match moves along at a snail's pace.
Virgo doesn't take risks, especially when it comes to love. In bed, Cancer is happiest with long, passionate lovemaking. While props, toys, and shower sex can all be fun, Cancer's absolute favorite is any position that allows plenty of eye contact with his or her lover. Crabs want to cuddle after sex if they feel trusted and in love , and they're always up for a lazy day spent entirely under the covers.
