Cancer and Cancer. Cancer and Leo

Cancer and Cancer

 When two Cancerians form a friendship, a nurturing relationship ruled by emotions is the result. A Cancer-Cancer friendship forms a deeply devoted pair who will remain loyal to one another's interest. Both will learn how to best heed and cool the flames of their confidante's outbursts, and both will feel comfort in their underlying commitment to getting things done. They are nurturing, helpful and sympathetic, that is, when they're not brooding, emotionally manipulating or self-pitying. If they learn to keep their emotions in check, the friendship will nurture both of them. 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 their intimate combination: They will fight for each other's successes. 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 comfort and domesticity provide a cozy environment, perfect for a growing friendship between two Crabs. Cancer is a Water Sign. Their emotional response and instinct is the backbone of their connection. 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 companion at times, but two Crabs hanging out 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 close friends and loved ones from the outside world. Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. The Crab is not shy about getting exactly what they want from their friends. The protective, 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 friendship, but can also threaten its very existence. These two must constantly try to perceive their emotions from the other's perspective. The best aspect of the Cancer-Cancer work friendship is their utter devotion to enriching each other’s emotional and home lives, and the strong bond that develops through their shared experiences. Together they will keep themselves safe from the cruel world and nurture a warm, understanding and supportive friendship.

Cancer and Leo

 When Cancer and Leo form a friendship, they are often able to recognize and satisfy each other’s basic needs. Both need devotion and care, but Cancer values stability and a solid emotional balance, while Leo likes compliments and wants to be admired. They are both strongly loyal,

often possessive of each other when other friends and acquaintances view for their time. They are also both committed to a lasting, successful friendship. Each is able to provide what the other needs because their aspirations are so similar. Both partners like comfort and security, often doing things on a grand scale. Cancer and Leo both enjoy a lovely environment and a close-knit crew of friends. Leo tends to be flamboyant, and Cancer will be the less colorful, more sensitive counterpart. Leo is bigger and bolder and vivid, the epitome of splendor and stature. Because both Signs are so determined, these friends really need to work to understand and accept each other. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is about ego and self, and it radiates warmth and light. Leo indeed radiates this kind of energy and enthusiasm. The Moon is about nurturing and emotion. Together the combination of masculine and feminine energy is why they admire and support each other. The Sun represents life, and the Moon represents cultivation; as long as they are careful to understand each other, their combination is a positive one. Cancer is a Water Sign, and Leo is a Fire Sign. Leo wants glory and recognition, while Cancer yearns for security and stability. Both Signs want to be in charge, but in different ways. They may have a number or arguments around this issue. As long as they reassure each other that their relationship is important to both of them, they can usually find a happy medium. Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Leo is a Fixed Sign. Leo can be opinionated and inflexible, Cancer being the subtle manipulative force. Cancer can be more persistent when it comes to planning things, while Leo will see it through to completion. The Crab prefers a career calm and stable life. Leo loves to shake things up and embraces the unexpected and the novel. Once Leo and Cancer have committed to their friendship, each of them will follow their natural instincts to devote themselves to its upkeep. If they have differing ideas, they may find themselves on a never-ending emotional roller coaster. Cancer is more quietly controlling than Leo, though, and might --to a degree -- manipulate their friend when it seems practical to do so. The best aspect of the Cancer-Leo friendship is their mutual commitment to a sincere connection. Together this duo can support each other in positive and healthy ways. They are seen as a great team by others, and their mutual desire for a secure, caring friendship makes them strive for harmony.
