When Cancer and Aquarius make a love match, it can be a
case of opposites attracting. Cancer takes an emotional approach to
life, Aquarius, an offbeat, unconventional approach. While Cancer often
retreats into its shell, Aquarius takes every opportunity to be the
extrovert, the organizer and party animal. They love to find themselves
amongst friends; social settings are simply their thing! If a Cancer
and
an Aquarius can find a way to combine these qualities in a positive
way,
they can go anywhere together.
Both Cancer and Aquarius can be
ambitious and determined. They want to get their way, and neither likes
to conflict. Cancer can be old-fashioned, attached to tradition and
routine, their morals more conservative than progressive. Aquarius, on
the other hand, is very modern and likely numbed by routine, yawning at
the dull and the boring in which Cancer sometimes finds comfort. Cancer
may be intrigued by their Aquarius lover's sense of excitement, but
this traditional Crab could get frustrated trying to keep up with this
revolutionary's mind. Though Aquarius won't appreciate the
possessiveness of a pinching Crab, they could find great comfort in the
solid base Cancer provides. Just try to get them to admit it!
The
Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, and Saturn (Karma) and Uranus (Rebellion)
rules Aquarius. The Moon is a radiant, feminine energy and Saturn is a
cool, contained masculine energy. Uranus is about all things abnormal
and novel. The Moon is emotional and concerned with growth and
domesticity, both of which become central themes in many Cancer's
lives. Saturn deals with hard work and the discipline required for
achievement, while Uranus symbolizes forward thought. This combination
makes sense for an Aquarian, as they are futurists unafraid of getting
their hands dirtied by labor. Cancer mates can teach social,
intellectual Aquarius lovers the value of emotional impulses, and their
feminine influence will bring beauty and comfort into the home. While
Cancer teaches the valuable lesson of an open heart, Aquarius can come
right back with the usefulness of a detached heart. Aquarians are
blessed to be able to extricate themselves from uncontrollable
situations and to reevaluate goals if they get off-course. Not
necessarily cold, Aquarius could still benefit from Cancer's warm,
feminine Moon-based influence.
Cancer is a Water Sign, and
Aquarius is an Air Sign. Aquarius sees life as an intellectual
exercise,
a constant exploration and expansion of the mind. Cancer's more
pragmatic. Cancer stops to ask, 'how does this feel?' while Aquarians
keep asking 'what else is there?' It may be tough for one to get
where
the other is coming from, and conflicts can arise if Aquarius gets a
little too cool or Cancer too emotionally demanding. They may end up
working at cross-purposes: Cancer asks for more and more, Aquarius may
pull further and further away. By accepting that their worldviews are
dissimilar, Cancer and Aquarius can move on and celebrate their
diversity, learn to say 'vive la difference' rather than feeling
threatened by it.
Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Aquarius is a
Fixed Sign. Both persevere when working toward goals. If they have a
set
path, they'll follow it to the end. With this sort of shared
perseverance -- and if they both place a high value on their
relationship -- this couple will never be dissuaded from that knowledge
and will constantly think of one another. If they run into snags,
Aquarius will discover that Cancers, though they may seem shy and
retire
into their shells, can actually be very tenacious and dogmatic, not
above using emotional manipulation on their loved ones. Also, Aquarius
could be bothered by Cancer's over-emotionality. If they agree to work
toward a common goal, these two can get along.
What's the best
thing about the Cancer-Aquarius love match? When they decide to come
together, they are an indomitable force! When they decide to combine
their disparate energies, Cancer and Aquarius can find their own
natural
balance and have fun with their differences rather than letting them
frighten them away from a chance to love.
