When Cancer and Leo make a love match, they understand
and
know how to satisfy basic emotional needs within one another. Both
these
Signs require dedication and tender, loving care, but while Cancer
seeks
stability and emotional harmony, Leo craves heartfelt compliments and
sincere admiration. Both are strongly loyal, even to the point of
possessiveness, Cancer for safety's sake, Leo for the sake of their
self-confidence. They are also both committed to a enduring, rewarding
connection. Since their desires are similar, a Cancer and a Leo may
fill
very important voids in each other's lives.
Both Leo and Cancer
prefer comfort and security, and they prefer both on a grand scale.
Cancer and Leo enjoy a lovely home and a close-knit family. Leo
provides
the flair and the passion, and Cancer brings to the home a sensitive
but
intense instinct to nurture. Leo is the bigger and bolder and more
vivid
of this couple, the picture of majesty and status. Because both Signs
are so strong-minded, these two must always work attentively to
understand and accept one another.
The intense and emotional Moon
(Emotion) rules Cancer, while the bright, bold Sun (the Self) rules
Leo.
The Sun is about ego and self, radiating warmth and light, and vibrant
Leo indeed radiates this kind of energy and enthusiasm. The Moon
concerns itself with nurturing, with creating and maintaining emotional
connections. This combination of masculine and feminine energy is why
the Sun and the Moon adore and sustain one another other as they do.
The
Sun represents life, and The Moon cultivation and growth; as long as
they are mindful of their inherent differences, their combination can
be
a positive one.
Cancer is a Water Sign, and Leo is a Fire Sign.
Leo strives with an ardent energy toward praise and appreciation, while
Cancer yearns more for security and stability. Both Signs like to take
charge, but they come at a leadership role from very different
directions. No small number of disputes can rise from this difference.
As long as Cancer and Leo never take for granted their relationship, as
long as they reassure one another in practical and romantic ways that
this 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.
Under stress, Leo becomes opinionated and stubborn, and Cancer can act
as a subtle manipulative force. Cancer's the persistent initiator of
shared plans, and Leo channels their energies and works doggedly to
move
plans to completion. If given the choice, the Crab would choose a calm
and stable life, having no need for glamour or acclaim. Leo, on the
other hand, loves to shake things up and embraces the unexpected and
the
novel. Though a Leo and a Cancer may commit emotionally to a
relationship, each of them can continue to follow their natural
instincts AND devote themselves thoroughly and completely to one
another. If, however, they haven't made their love intentions clear to
one another, they may find themselves on a never-ending emotional
roller
coaster ride. Cancer, hiding behind that innocent shell of theirs, can
be the more quietly controlling of this pair and might -- to a degree
--
manipulate their Leo loved one when it seems practical to do so.
What's the best aspect of the Cancer-Leo relationship? Their
mutual commitment to a sincere relationship. Together this pair can
share a supportive, positive and healthy vibe. People see them as a
winning combination, and their mutual desire for a secure, loving
relationship makes them strive for harmony.
