Two Cancers build a home from day one. They take care of each other, protect each other and understand each other without speaking. The risk is retreating so far into that shelter that the outside world stops existing.
How you fit together
You two understand each other without words because you're so alike. There's chemistry from day one, but your flaws add up too. When one of you gets angry, the other gets just as angry.
Cancer and Cancer in love
Few couples are this tender. You remember birthdays on both sides of the family, cook for each other and turn any apartment into a cozy place. One look tells you if the other is sad, and when something goes wrong you have endless patience to care for each other. The loyalty between you is huge.
The hard part is that you're both sensitive and changeable, like the Moon that rules you. If one of you is down, the other sinks too, and when you're hurt you both crawl into your shells and wait for the other to make the first move. That's how a fight can last days without anyone saying what happened. You can also become very dependent and close yourselves off to new people and plans. You need to open some windows.
Between you there's tenderness, warmth and a lot of trust. You need to feel safe to give yourselves fully, and you almost always do. Just keep an eye on home routines so they don't dim the desire.
As friends
This friendship is forever. You listen to each other for hours and defend each other like family. You know each other's favorite dishes and old wounds, though it's better not to turn every misunderstanding into an offense.
At work
You look after each other as a team and create a good atmosphere around you. Making tough decisions and keeping personal and professional separate is hard for you. If one of you takes charge of setting deadlines and saying no, you work beautifully.
What brings you together
- You never stop caring for each other.
- Loyalty and a strong sense of family.
- You understand each other without explaining.
Where you clash
- Silent sulks that drag on.
- Mood swings are contagious.
- A tendency to shut out the world.
Your elements
Two water signs feel each other fully and understand each other without speaking. The danger is drowning together in the same fears.
Your modalities
You both want to take the lead. You have plenty of drive to start things, but you'd do well to take turns at the wheel.
When something hurts, whoever feels it should say so that same day.
