Cancer Compatibility – Of all the astrological signs, Cancers are the most protective of their home and loved ones. Security is number one for them. Because they are a water sign and also associated with the Moon, they are infamously known as being ultra sensitive, emotional, and extremely moody. Because they are so sensitive, they are able to read the motives of others very clearly, however sometimes they can come across as being too overprotective. When all is stable, they are as calm and cool as a quiet lake or stream. If they feel the least bit unstable, they can act like a rushing river. Thus, when encountering Cancers, it is best to give them that atmosphere of security and stability.
However, when giving them their love and stability, you must make sure that it’s to their liking and not what you think they like because they will be able to see through your motives.

Dating Compatibility
Cancer is compatible with quite a few other zodiac signs. Aries Cancer love works quite well as Cancer provides the attention and adoration Aries craves. The Cancer Taurus relationship also works well as Taurus fulfils Cancer secret sexual desires and provides the home security that Taurus loves. Leo is another sign that seeks Cancer out for the adoration and applause Cancer will give to Leo. In addition Leo will treat Cancer with tenderness and affection. In bed the sparks definitely fly between these two signs. Cancer and Libra are another great combination as both are focused on home and family. When these two get together talk centers around marriage, heart and babies.
Sex Compatibility
Looking at the astrology sex profile, Gemini is not very compatible with Cancer as they are not interested in being faithful to their partner and can not stand Cancer s jealousy. The Cancer Aries relationship will also not work, as Aries is too much in love with their independence to tolerate Cancer s overwhelming attentiveness. In bed however, they are very compatible as Cancer does all possible to satisfy Aries demanding and unusual sexual needs. As for Sagittarius, Cancer will find this sign a little to flighty and free for their liking and Sagittarius will not like Cancer s clinging nature. Physical attraction and sensuality are the main features of a relationship between Virgo and Cancer. They both enjoy a long passionate session of lovemaking and will soon find themselves talking marriage and a family.
Remember though, every compatibility situation is unique and it is important to use the deep reflection and insight offered by a good compatibility reading to understand truly how compatible you are with another.

When in a Bad Mood
