Air meets Water - balance takes work
The last sign an Aquarius will find harmony with in love is Cancer; the quincunx between them is one of the most demanding angles in the zodiac. Since on one side there is the Cancer, after a more private relationship, and on the other the Aquarius, who wants to live every moment sociably and be active at every moment of life. So there is constantly a different way of living and a different outlook. Suppose, for instance, that an Aquarius and a Cancer are married: in this relationship the Aquarius will be entirely turned outwards.
Between their social circle, their social life, the groups they meet through it and the events, they will feel they have to keep one eye outside at all times. On the other side, the Cancer will be waiting - very calm, giving a great deal of importance to their home, caring only about the person opposite them and the relationship. That being so, what should and should not be in a marriage will be present in their most extreme forms. Naturally, after a while bickering, quarrels and unwanted endings start to arise; so being careful in Aquarius-Cancer relationships matters a great deal.
A Cancer, whom we know for their emotional nature, lives love and passion in every cell of their body and makes others live it too. And whoever they give that feeling to is very lucky, since a Cancer will raise the person they love to the skies. Aquarius men and women alike are flirtatious; a Cancer does not much mind a wandering eye but dislikes real flirtation. A Cancer is faithful and expects the same loyalty in return; so an Aquarius should not forget they are in a serious relationship. If an Aquarius is not thinking seriously, they should not begin a relationship with a Cancer at all, because Cancerians do not much like short relationships; when they begin one they devote themselves to it.
An Aquarius and Cancer relationship, which reflects a union of the water and air groups, can work if they can get used to each other''s different ways at the start. In fact this relationship will be something quite unlike any other. An Aquarius, whom we know for their ease, can be happy with a Cancer, known for their patience; but for that there is work for both of them.
Aquarius woman and Cancer man: love and compatibility
While the Aquarius woman spends all her attention and energy on social life and on having an enjoyable time, the Cancer man wants the relationship to be private and to have real work put into it. The pair, who cannot agree here, will run into trouble often. But for a Cancer man who manages to make an Aquarius woman fall head over heels in love, it would not be right to speak of this problem; because the Aquarius woman, feeling real love, will make sacrifices over social life and enjoyment, and a relationship will emerge that meets both sides'' expectations.
Aquarius man and Cancer woman: love and compatibility
The Aquarius man''s eye is always outside, always out and about. The Cancer woman, meanwhile, will expect to be fussed over and treated as precious. The Cancer woman, who will step back once she has impressed the Aquarius man, tries to draw the partner she has caught slowly towards the relationship''s private moments. If she succeeds, a long and passionate love can be spoken of. But the Aquarius man is not a partner easily kept in hand either. In this demanding relationship, being or not being is in the Cancer woman''s hands.
