Cancer and Virgo compatibility
Two people who love by taking care of things.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22. Virgo: August 23 – September 22.
Are Cancer and Virgo a good match?
Tradition calls it a good match, with one warning: it is so pleasant that the real conversation can wait for years.
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
This is a quiet, deep match. Cancer feels and Virgo acts, and between you very little gets forgotten. Each of you has spent a lifetime looking after people, and you may be the first to look after the other.
The hard part
Both of you worry, and you can each amplify the other's. Virgo's corrections can hurt Cancer more than Virgo realizes, and Cancer's moods can feel to Virgo like a problem it cannot fix.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit two signs apart, a sixty-degree angle astrologers call a sextile. The tradition counts this as friendly: your elements feed each other without either having to become the other. The door is open, but it asks to be walked through.
Earth holds water. One of you gives the other a shore, and the other keeps the ground from going dry. It is one of the most naturally tender combinations there is.
One of you sets the course and the other finds the way around what is in it. This works when the one who adapts is also asked what they want.
What each of you is really asking
Cancer is asking: Is it safe to come out of the shell? Cancer brings shelter and fears being left after showing the soft part.
Virgo is asking: Could you love me on a day I do it wrong? Virgo brings devotion in small things and fears being found lacking.
The desire under the question
Each of you wants someone to do for you what you do for everyone else. Ask if you have ever told the other that out loud.
