When two Cancerians come together, a loving domestic
relationship ruled by emotions will ensue. A Cancer-Cancer relationship forms a deeply devoted duo that will remain loyal.
Both will learn how to best heed and cool the flames of their partners outbursts, and both will feel comfort in the underlying
commitment to one another. This couple is devoted, nurturing, family-oriented, helpful and sympathetic, when they're not brooding,
emotionally manipulating, or self-pitying. If they learn to keep their emotions in check, the relationship will nurture both
partners.
Cancer's place is in the home. The moody Crab is not as concerned
with the opinions of the world as they are with the condition and activities of the household. With fierceness, Cancer will
not hesitate to attack when a loved one or their domestic security is being threatened. These devotional qualities are the
Crab's greatest contribution to the relationship: working and fighting for its
success. The Crab (often known for being a touch "Crabby") must not give in to their ungrounded emotional flare-ups and ability
to injure the other's feelings. Beware of Cancer's fine art of emotional manipulation.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and this Sign is most sensitive
to the moods that ebb and flow with the Moon's monthly cycle. Historically,
the Moon is thought to be the Great Mother, thus the instigator of Cancer's great maternal and care-giving nature. Cancer's instinct and energy geared toward the home environment provide a comfortable place for a growing
relationship.
Cancer is a Water Sign. Their emotional response and instinct
is the backbone of the relationship. Since Cancer's emotions are trampled so easily, it is not unusual for them to hide within
their Crabby shells. This tendency to draw within one's self makes Cancer a difficult partner at times, but two Crabs together
should be able to recognize this need for personal space and respect temporary time-outs. Their Element of Water acts as a
safe buffer zone separating themselves and their loved ones from the outside world.
Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. The Crab is not shy about getting
exactly what they want from their partner. The protecting feral beast within is the first emotional element to leap forward
under stress or a threat to the pack. However, this emotional call to arms is exactly the kind of toe trampling that will
crush Cancer's tender feelings. Fierce loyalty binds the Cancer-Cancer relationship, but can also threaten its very existence.
Both partners must constantly try to perceive their emotions from the others perspective.
The best aspect of the Cancer-Cancer relationship is their utter devotion to enriching their commitment and the strong
emotional bond between them. Together they will keep themselves safe from the outside world and nurture a loving family and
domestic life.
