I get so emotional baby, ain’t it shocking what…love can do?
This astrology match is a cascade of watery energy. With Cancer we have, of course, a water sign ruled by the Moon and a double dose of Cancer brings an extraordinary amount of emotional intensity, intuition, and also vulnerability into the mix.
On the plus side, we have two lovers who understand each other’s complex need for nurturing, both to mother and be mothered. They both desire a secure family life, and to cultivate a relationship with powerful foundations and a romance built on nostalgia, caring for each other, and also enjoying a fairly traditional, cozy romance.
The Moon rules family and the home, so one would expect, with two Cancer together, home and family life will play an enormous role. The couple will either want to have their own family if they get together earlier in life, or later in life it will be very important that they are both accepted by their respective families and that their children get on. They can have a highly successful blended family, because that is paramount to their emotional well-being.
Two Cancers together will have a powerful need to settle and to have security, but this is an ambitious couple, so the relationship won’t be boring. We’re not just talking about people who sit having fireside chats, no, we’re talking about a zodiac match who chase after information, who want to expand themselves, and who want to succeed and find a prosperous future. They often have very powerful mutual interests in making money, homemaking, and having the property of their dreams.
If you see a really nice house in town with a beautiful, well-kept garden and everything looking very swish, that’s probably a Cancer couple living there.
When you have a double dose of Moon and water, sometimes the tides of emotions are turbulent. This could be a stormy relationship, one of overreactions and hurt feelings, and that’s why it only gets a 60% chance of success. Of course, any problems can be ameliorated if there are powerful earth Moons and ascendants, or possibly some air — a Gemini or an Aquarius ascendant or Moon in one of them.
Romantic Compatibility
There’s no shortage of romance and creativity between this couple. They are likely to develop a strong attraction to each other and immediately want to go further and explore that bond.
They are both romantic by nature, they enjoy music, movies and going out but they also love spending time together, just being alone, exploring each other emotionally, and enjoying physical intimacy.
This is a nostalgic couple who thrive when creating memories, and the longer the relationship goes on, the more romantic it becomes, as they build up this repertoire of romantic rituals, favorite places and things they do together that become bonding, reassuring, and comfortable.
Romance between these zodiac twins is a lot about emotional connection, deep layers of understanding, and also being fairly tender and understanding that each is sensitive. However, what it can lack for both of them is a little bit of drama and flair. Sometimes one or the other tries to create a hint of drama because even an argument can disrupt things and reawaken a little bit of passion that they are both looking for.
So, while neither likes arguments, sometimes they inadvertently create them, as it makes the romance more poignant.
Sexual Compatibility
This particular sun sign combination is not necessarily the best sexual partnership. Sex between them is great if there’s a lot of tenderness and if they treat each other well,l or if it comes off the back of a really enjoyable evening with friends or dining out.
When they are relaxed and at one together, sex can be deeply bonding. However, there are often timing issues. The big problem with sex between these two is when one wants it, the other doesn’t. When one’s hot, the other’s cold.
There can also be many other factors that seem to arise to complicate their sex life. Their sex life is something that always promises to be exciting and rewarding, and yet somehow it never happens as expected. Between one thing or another — it could be the children, work life, or bad experiences in previous relationships — there’s always something making it more difficult.
So, in order to make their sex life awesome, there has to be quite a lot of discussion and ironing out of these problems, and both of them need to fully come to terms with previous relationships and hurts.
Friendship Between Two Cancers
These two can be the best of friends, but at other times they can also repel each other. What we have here are two rather restless, moody characters whose ebbs and flows can create awkward emotional eddies.
As a water sign, Cancer is affected by any toxicity, perhaps in their working environment or within their family, so their non relationship environment can affect their well-being and thus the relationship. They are also signs which have a long, long memory, and therefore things that happened in their past will always be triggers.
In this cosmic relationship, you have a double dose of sensitivity, emotional moodiness, and susceptibility to being triggered. That means they don’t always communicate well. Very often they read too much into what the other is saying, or they overreact to things that should be taken with a grain of salt.
It’s actually very helpful if one or both of the partner’s has a lot of earth, or an Aquarius Moon, or a Libra ascendant, because that brings balance. What this relationship often lacks is moderation as two water signs together can become a little neurotic, perhaps too precious, and therefore even small tides rock the boat.
What the friendship needs to be stronger is more pragmatism and both of them need to focus on slightly more logical, less knee-jerk, emotional responses.
Where the friendship is strong is that there’s significant unspoken understanding, they kind of get each other at a deep level. Where it’s weak is that there are too many overreactions.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
The longer these two are together, the more likely the relationship is to last. What’s powerful in this relationship is that they both want to invest in the future. They are both personalities that take relationships and family life seriously, and at heart, they want to be in a stable relationship that can anchor them, sustain them emotionally, and be very nurturing.
What’s powerful in the long term for this sun sign couple is that they are both business and security-minded, so they are likely to put a big effort into goals like having the property of their dreams, creating a secure financial future, and also enjoying the finer things of life together.
They are fairly sociable, they enjoy entertaining, and there’s so much that can bring them together. Plus, they are naturally adapted to each other’s personalities and understand each other’s needs.
Where this is, however, difficult for marriage, is that both can have long memories and can be grudge-bearing. They tend to play the blame game and both don’t know when to let things go. There’s also the danger that one partner will end up being much more compromising, and the other can become increasingly moody and passive-aggressive, simply because they want more but aren’t able to articulate it.
This can be a good marriage if they learn to put emotions on the shelf and use logic to work through important matters. They should leave the emotion for romance, but also know when to put their emotions into proper context.
Strengths and Challenges
The wonderful strength in this match is being mutually understanding and sympathetic to each other’s complex emotional needs. These are two characters who, while ambitious, are sensitive and need periods of privacy or consolidation and also periods of adventure and activity.
There are ebbs and flows within the Cancer character, and they both neatly understand that each other’s emotional nature is sometimes inscrutable and sometimes quite reclusive.
They will unite beautifully romantically, as they are enchanted by the promise of romance and exploring an emotional connection. As they are both fairly nostalgic and enjoy music and entertaining, there will be many things that they can enjoy, and the more memories they make, the more they will cherish those and each other.
There is a nurturing, protective quality to both of them, and therefore they are likely to be understanding and good listeners. Neither of them needs to be the boss. Sometimes they are a couple who will have an unspoken communication — a communication via body language, mirroring, and simply doing nurturing and practical things for each other as tokens of love. This can dramatically help the relationship. Affection and physical contact is what brings them together, but quality time is quantity time for this couple. They don’t do well if they are separated for a long time or in long-distance relationships.
The challenges are that they can both be very needy and both could want more and more out of the relationship while putting in less and less. Both of them can become very unrealistic, and often when emotions cloud their judgment, they don’t make good decisions as a couple, or they can fall prey to blaming each other without taking personal responsibility.
As they are both very sensitive, it’s easy for them to occasionally hurt each other, even unwittingly. As they are both fairly unforgiving and have long memories, when things go bad they can stay sour for a very long time with neither wanting to take the risk of changing their attitude to improve things.
With two water signs ruled by the Moon, this can be a very hormonal and also a stormy relationship. Both of them are heavily influenced by Full and New Moons, and therefore there is a constant barrage of astrological weather that makes this a rather choppy ocean. This isn’t really a calm Mediterranean, this is more like a stormy Atlantic when it comes to love.
Final Verdict
Two Cancerians will certainly have an immediate emotional rapport. There’s ample opportunity to exploit their nostalgic natures by enjoying music, film and entertaining, making memories along the way.
They feel comfortable and safe together, and the relationship can actually proceed quite quickly, with them even wanting to move in together and create a family life.
One of the drawbacks in this match however is high levels of emotional subjectivity and the abandonment of reason and logic. They are both likely to fear hurting each other, and they might struggle to cope with each other’s deepest fears and insecurities. They frequently misalign sexually which can be interpreted as rejection, which is unlikely the case.
While they can achieve financial success and a beautiful home together, the relationship can sometimes be stormy and, as both don’t detach long enough to see reason.
This couple must take care not to drown in each other’s moods if they maintain emotional boundaries and learn to channel their sensitivity into creativity or spiritual growth, this relationship can be a beautiful, lifelong union.
This cosmic match is often magical as two Cancer share an unspoken emotional understanding and an intuitive bond that feels destined, but blame games, neediness and holding grudges can sour the bond.
This has a 60% of success but both need strong coping mechanisms and the ability to exercise self care and detachment.
Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
