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.
