When Cancer and Sagittarius make a love match, they
both need to be patient and give the relationship time to grow and
mature. As it develops, each love partner will discover that they have
much to offer one another. At first, it just seems like Sagittarius is
the thrill seeker who enjoys the occasional adrenaline rush, and that
Cancer derives much more satisfaction from emotional security. Early in
the relationship, Cancer may want more of a commitment than Sagittarius
is willing to give. But as time goes by, Sagittarius will learn to
appreciate the strong emotional support that Cancer offers.
These
two lovers, Cancer and Sagittarius, have different approaches to life;
Cancer lives on emotion and tradition, and Sagittarius is the restless
wanderer. Cancer's emotional tidal wave can be difficult and
overwhelming for Sagittarius to accept. And Cancer might be resistant
to
accepting their Sagittarian mate's restlessness and craving for
external activities. A Cancer partner can offer a Sagittarius a secure
home base, a place where Sag can go to keep their dreams and ambitions
in perspective. The Sagittarius free spirit can lend Cancer's daily
life a little diversity and excitement.
The Moon (Emotion) rules
Cancer, and Jupiter (Philosophy) rules Sagittarius. The Moon is about
love, nurturing and the maternal instinct. Jupiter focuses on
expansion,
optimism, luck and travel. Together this is combination of growth and
expansion and of masculine and feminine energy; the two can sustain
each
other. When working toward a common goal, these two can combine their
energies to great effect.
Cancer is a Water Sign, and
Sagittarius
is a Fire Sign. Sagittarius desires freedom, while Cancer longs for
emotional security and stability, and these basic needs color their
approach to life, to projects and to relationships. One lover may not
always get where the other lover is coming from, but when they put
their
complementary energies together, sparks can fly and dreams can come
true. If they value their intimate connection and their friendship and
respect one another's opinions, their conflicts can usually be
resolved.
Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Sagittarius is a
Mutable
Sign. Sagittarius moves from idea to idea and venture to venture as the
feeling takes them, while Cancer is the instigator of new plans. A
Cancer mate must give their Sagittarius lover the freedom to explore
their own space and interests external to the relationship. Cancer can
bring Sagittarius' great ideas to life, even if Sagittarius has lost
interest and moved on. Sagittarius teaches Cancer the virtues of an
open
mind over constant and inflexible determination.
What's the
best
part of the Cancer-Sagittarius love match? The security they can give
one another (once Cancer gives Sagittarius the freedom to offer that
security freely). They make a compatible couple once they open
themselves up to one another and accept as valid each other's
differing
life philosophies. If the lines of communication remain open and clear,
and as long as these two take time to appreciate and celebrate their
differences, theirs will be a stable and happy relationship.
