Cancer, being a water sign is feminine and treasures home and family. They are very protective about their partners, and have an emotional angle to their romantic fantasies. Are you a Cancerian, or are you dating one? AstrologyBay gives you the zodiac signs that are most compatible with Cancer.
Zodiac Compatibility Rule!
✦ Water ~ Water ✔
✦ Water ~ Earth ✔
✦ Water ~ Air/ Fire ✗
A pure Cancerian is extremely attached to his/her home―family and closed ones, like a crab is attached to its home. This water sign would rather betray their own self than those who they care for. They are very loyal, and may expect the same from their partner. If they get hurt, they would distance themselves from the world, like a crab hides itself in its shell. This sage-like sign would never attempt to take a revenge on those who’ve hurt them.
Gentle and sensitive, Cancers would never go for flings. They crave for love and emotional contentment. They believe in lifelong friendships and permanent partnerships. So if you dream of a domestic life, never let that Crab crawl outta your life.
As far as the basic rules of zodiac compatibility are concerned, firstly, water would be most compatible with water, and next, would share a great comfort with Earth. Therefore, Cancer, being a water sign can be paired up with other water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) and Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo). Let’s look at the signs that would blend well with Cancer.
COMPATIBILITY OF CANCER WITH …
With Cancer
