Are Virgo and Cancer Compatible?
They hit it off pretty well when they meet for the first time. Virgo brings a high level of intelligence to this relationship that helps them navigate life together, and cancer brings the feelings and Sensibility that the virgin is looking for in a relationship.
The Virgoan is a little bit more grounded when it comes to their feelings. Keeping that in mind, they might have a hard time understanding how their partner has the ability to swing their moods back and forth. As time goes on, they’ll be able to adapt to the moods and, in fact, be able to help them manage them more.

The crab will bring a lot of sensitivity to the life of their partner at the same time. The closeness they have together will help them form a relationship with pretty good compatibility.
How Are Cancer and Virgo in Love?
Even though it was just mentioned that they have good compatibility, this is a relationship that, on the surface, lacks substance.
They get along very well as individuals, but as they get into a relationship, they might find things can have their ups and downs. It’s almost like, at the very beginning, they lack happiness and depth in their relationship. This would be something that, as things progress, they would naturally work on.
Insecurity would slow them down as well, so they would both have to make sure that they felt secure in the relationship they were sharing. One of them needs to step up and become the decision-maker for the two of them.
Cancerians are very bad at handling criticism, and sometimes Virgoans can be highly critical of their partners and other people. When the crab receives criticism for something, even if it’s done constructively, they will still take it to heart.
For this relationship to really work out, the Cancerian needs to toughen themselves up and be able to take a little bit of criticism now and then. On the other side of things, the Virgoan really needs to use a little bit of tact when it comes to being critical of their partner. They need to express their feelings but do it with soft hands.

Experts Discuss This Couple:

This relationship has potential but ultimately it will be up to the Virgo to make the most effort in working things out.
Laura: Cancer will appreciate Virgo’s sense of order and down-to-earth, sunny nature. With no big surprises or ego to contend with, Cancer will feel able to express himself without fear of being squelched or overshadowed. At times, Virgo’s cutting remarks, or observations will hurt Cancer to the core, but Virgo’s original intent is to try to perfect the crab. Once Virgo realizes Cancer’s limits or boundaries, a Virgo and Cancer couple can work very well together.

He’s also sensitive about money matters, but he’s a good businessman, and you’re a good money manager. You have a common fear of poverty and a love of comfort, you’re well matched to put financial worries “beneath the radar” and become more successful as a couple than you would be as an individual.
He learns to trust in time.
There are times when he can become quite possessive, and may take issue with your need to take occasional time to yourself or seek a career or further your education. He can be somewhat insecure about your being on your own, but you aren’t the kind of woman who makes a big deal of your independence or acts in a showy attention-attracting fashion; eventually, the trust will grow between you.
Let him draw out your passions.
His sentimental, romantic, and sensitive nature has the ability to help you discover or draw out the intense passion that dwells within you. You’re not likely to take romance lightly, because you can certainly do just fine on your own, but to do without if you have a shrewd and intelligent man to share your time with would not be “sensible.”

Summary
You always know where you are with a Virgo, as their emotions are so out in the open and ready to support and cherish you, so for Cancer, this will be quite perfect. This is a bond that comes without much effort and can turn into something very long-lasting, if you want it to. You will find you have the same thoughts on many of the important issues in life, so restricting each other at certain times should not be necessary.

You also need a good mixture of nights in and out together to keep the sparkle going.
