Water meets Earth - balance takes work
Communicating with Virgos is in fact very simple. Virgos always behave warmly towards people and can easily let you know they like you. You can fall in love with a Virgo easily, because they are always the ones standing off to one side, who have not been with many people and only want affection. You can love a Virgo for a lifetime, because a Virgo is someone to fall in love with. Some people call you shy, but Virgos are shy too; they will not come to you and say "I love you", because Virgos are always the ones in love with you and they carry that love somewhat hidden. But if they see the smallest interest in you towards them, they can do anything for you. They can surprise you, but they are also a little jealous; if they see someone of the opposite sex beside you, even a friend of yours, they will be jealous, because they do not want to share you. Some commentators tell you that you are shy; in fact they are right, you hesitate to express your love. You wait for the first move from them; you wait for them to show that they love you and to teach you how it should be done.
You want them to be emotional, like yourself; you would rather cry at even the smallest frame of a film. Some astrological sources describe Virgo as dull because of that shy nature. This is quite wrong; a Virgo will surprise you with their passionate feelings. With an emotional partner like you in particular, their fiery, enthusiastic side comes out. You get along very well over routine matters; you are practical and orderly, and you do everything you can to make the other person feel that you love them. Time matters a great deal to you and you want everything to be there at your first choice. In daily life too you get along well. A Virgo is practical, orderly, organised and, like you, in search of security. They are a little short-tempered and can flare up quickly; but as long as you do not touch a nerve, they will keep in constant touch with you.
A Virgo is patient and does not turn rude even when angry. They are careful with money, never wasteful, and succeed through hard work. They value moral principles and are always for what is right; because they dislike deceit, they will stay faithful to you. You very much want to go on holiday together, but because you are both a little thrifty you always look for the best-value places. The sextile between you lets these two signs meet easily on this common ground.
Cancer woman and Virgo man: love and compatibility
The Virgo man greatly enjoys criticising whatever he sees. The Cancer woman, meanwhile, does not enjoy being criticised at all. Although both signs are thrifty with money, it is very hard for a Cancer woman and a Virgo man to get along. For these two signs, who will be in constant friction even as friends, building a relationship will be hard on both of them. Because when they begin a relationship it will be full of argument and storms; and that wears both signs down. So finding harmony and happiness together takes real work for these two signs.
Cancer man and Virgo woman: love and compatibility
When a Cancer man and a Virgo woman build a relationship, there will always be a reticence between them; and that gets in the way of their having an entertaining, passionate love. That in turn makes their relationship monotonous over time and drives them apart. But if they try to get past some of the problems they see in themselves and hold on to each other, they can begin a long relationship. Alongside this, if they can feel for the person opposite them, they can find happiness and harmony between them. But they have to put some effort into their relationship.
