Cancer and Cancer compatibility
Two people who know what the shell is for.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22.
Are Cancer and Cancer a good match?
It can be a very good match, and it asks for one thing: that one of you be willing to look at what neither of you wants to see.
I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.
What draws you together
You understand each other's tides. With no explanation at all, you know when to bring tea and when to leave the room. The home you make can be the most tender place either of you has ever lived.
The hard part
Two moods can feed each other. When you are both hurt, you both retreat, and each waits for the other to come out first. Old wounds can become the furniture of the house.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You share a sign, so you share an element and a way of moving through the world. Older astrology treats this as recognition more than ease. You understand each other quickly, and you also share the same blind spot.
Water with water feels everything twice. You can sense a mood through a closed door, and you can also drown together in one neither of you can name.
You are both starters. Each of you expects to set the direction, so the question in this house is who leads, and when.
What each of you is really asking
Cancer is asking: Is it safe to come out of the shell?
You are both asking it, which is why neither of you hears it. You each bring shelter, and you each fear being left after showing the soft part.
The desire under the question
You are each asking not to be left. Ask whether you are holding each other, or holding on.
Finish this line, privately
I want ___ ; I accept ___ ; I will not surrender ___ .
Fill it in about this person. Whatever you write first is usually the truth.
Two signs are only the first line.
Bring both birth dates and I'll set your signs side by side, free. If you want to stay a little longer, the Lovers' Ledger opens both charts, the pull between you, and the conversation you keep not having. One reading, $14.
