Relationships can be successful between any of the Sun sign combinations. However, because all relationships have their ups and downs I have included details of the potential problem areas that may need more work.

To find out more, page down to find your combination.

Cancer and Cancer
On their first meeting Cancerians see another Cancerian like looking in a mirror and only see the confident front they are each hiding behind. They are very romantic and have a passionate nature so there may be tremendous sexual attraction between them. But they will both be worried that the other will reject their advances so they won't make any. These two will probably become very close friends and keep their true feelings for each other well hidden until they feel secure enough to make them known. It may take a long time for them to get to know the real Cancerian hiding underneath.

But when these two do finally get together they instinctively now they will not hurt each other as there is a real emotional bond between them. Sexually they are extremely well matched as they are both equally tender and caring. They are more likely to be interested in love than sex but with the two combined they will find complete satisfaction. They will understand each other's needs totally but their downfall could be the lack of strength in either of them to give support against feelings of insecurity. This pairing could last just on the amount of love they share but they will need some lighter moments to keep depressive thoughts at bay.

Cancerians want loving security and they will be able to provide this for each other up to a point. If they can also control their mood swings and if both have planets like Venus (love) and Mars (desires) in other more compatible signs then this will be a very successful match. If not it may be that they become so possessive of each other that the love they had is forgotten and turns into a total lack of communication. This relationship will be hard work but if they can learn to be open about how they feel and express their love in words as well as actions they will make each other happier than they ever thought possible. back to Relationships

Cancer and Leo
On their first meeting Cancerians see Leos as genuinely confident and sociable unlike themselves, someone to really admire. Leos see Cancerians as extrovert like themselves because they only see the front the Cancerian is hiding behind. Both signs have a passionate nature so there may be an instant sexual attraction between them. The Cancerian will see the Leo is loving and strong under their rather arrogant exterior. The Leo finds the Cancerian is really sensitive and gentle in a very attractive way.

Cancerians normally keep their true feelings to themselves but because Leos are very open about how they feel the chance of them being hurt by rejection is small. Sexually they are quite well matched as the Cancerian is loving and giving and the Leo likes as much attention and praise as they can get. Cancerians need constant reassurance from their partner which may be in short supply as although the Leo is very loving they can be too self interested to notice their partner needs attention too. Because of this the Cancerian may become moody causing the Leo to look elsewhere for a boost to their ego.

Cancerians want security and Leos want to be the centre of attention.. This combination sounds difficult but if both have planets like Venus (love) and Mars (desires) in other more compatible signs it can be a very successful match. If not it may be that the Cancerian gets too clingy and the Leo starts to think they may have made a wrong choice of partner. This relationship will be hard work but if Cancerians can learn that Leos need reassurance too and Leos can learn to appreciate a truly loving partner they stand a good chance of staying together. back to Relationships

Cancer and Virgo
On their first meeting Cancerians see Virgoans as refined and easy to talk to, someone who will treat them kindly and not take advantage of them. Virgoans see Cancerians as confident and secure because they only see the front the Cancerian is hiding behind. Cancerians need a supportive partner and they see this quality in Virgoans which adds to the attraction. Cancerians will find that although Virgoans are a bit unemotional they do share a need for commitment and Virgoans will find Cancerians sensitive and emotional, quite opposite to themselves but at the same time hard to resist.

Cancerians are scared of rejection but find the honest and affectionate nature of Virgoans gives them the confidence to show how they feel as they know it will be accepted. They will be well matched sexually as they are both loving and caring but they will have problems with their different emotional needs. The Cancerian needs emotional understanding and support but although the Virgoan has the strength to provide support they have no emotional depth themselves so find this part difficult.

Cancerians want security and Virgoans need order in their lives. This combination sounds difficult but if both have planets like Venus (love) and Mars (desires) in other more compatible signs it can be a very successful match. If not it may be that the Cancerian starts to feel totally insecure and the Virgoan despairs and resorts to criticism. This relationship will be hard work but if they are prepared to work at it Cancerians can learn to be content with more down to earth support and Virgoans can learn to provide some emotional support to a partner who can truly love them.

Cancer and Libra
On their first meeting Cancerians see Librans as sociable and funny, someone they love to be around. Librans see Cancerians as confident and sociable because they only see the front the Cancerian is hiding behind. They will find themselves instantly attracted to each other both romantically and sexually. Cancerians will see Librans as beautiful and charming with a kind nature so not likely to ever hurt anybody. Librans will find Cancerians are emotionally insecure but a very gentle and attractive companion all the same.

Because of the romantic attraction between these two it's very likely they will rush into a physical relationship despite the normally cautious nature of the Cancerian and indecisiveness of the Libran. Sexually they will be quite well matched as they are both seeking pleasure and love. This all sounds too good to last and it probably is because the Cancerian is emotionally insecure which is made worse by the Libran need to go out socialising and leaving the Cancerian behind. The more jealous and possessive the Cancerian becomes the less likely the Libran is to talk about it or stay around.

Cancerians want security and Librans want pleasure with an easy life. This combination will always be difficult but if both have planets like Venus (love), Mars (desires), the Moon (emotions) and Mercury (mentality) in other more compatible signs it can be a successful match. If not it may be that they stop communicating completely and find no reason to stay together. This relationship will always be difficult but if they are prepared to work at it Cancerians can learn to be less dependent on their partner for their emotional well being and Librans can learn to dispel the Cancerian moods with laughter. back to Relationships

Cancer and Scorpio
On their first meeting Cancerians see Scorpios as having an emotional nature like themselves but more intense and powerful, someone truly strong they can rely on. Scorpios see Cancerians as mysteriously hiding behind a confident front, someone they just have to investigate further. Both signs have a deep emotional and passionate nature so there may be tremendous sexual attraction between them. Cancerians find Scorpios are magnetic, enigmatic and extremely attractive. Scorpios find Cancerians have a gentle and sensitive nature which they find very appealing.

They will both realise from the start that this will be a very special relationship with deep feelings involved and a real future. They both find that they are unable to hide their feelings from each other and this forms an essential bond between them. Sex will be deeply satisfying emotionally for both of them as the Cancerian is very caring and the Scorpio gets the deep understanding they need which is lacking from most of the other signs. But the Cancerian will not appreciate the Scorpio trying to control them and this could lead to problems.

Cancerians want loving security and Scorpios want to possess. This combination can be one of the best especially if they both have planets like Venus (love) and Mars (desires) in compatible signs. If not it may be that the Cancerian moods make the Scorpio feel their own insecurity which results in emotional outbursts. However, if they are prepared to work at it Cancerians can learn to provide their partner with as much emotional support as they need themselves and Scorpios can learn that they've found a partner with enough mystery to keep them interested for a long term relationship.

Cancer and Sagittarius
On their first meeting Sagittarians see Cancerians as confident like themselves because they only see the front the Cancerian is hiding behind. Cancerians see Sagittarians as genuinely extrovert and not afraid to speak the truth which to them is quite refreshing. Both signs have a passionate nature so there may be tremendous sexual attraction between them. Cancerians will see Sagittarians as lively and popular, someone who will cheer them up and Sagittarians find Cancerians a bit too sensitive but with a sensuality they find hard to resist.

Cancerians keep their true feelings to themselves until they are sure they will not be hurt by rejection. Sagittarians can not see the point in hiding the truth and think the Cancerian is being secretive and dishonest. Sex is a bit of fun to Sagittarians, something to laugh about and enjoy. But to Cancerians it is an emotional expression involving deep feelings and sensuality. This can cause obvious problems. The more truthful the Sagittarian is the more hurt, withdrawn and depressed the Cancerian becomes.

Cancerians want security and Sagittarians want to be free. This combination is almost impossible but if both have planets like Venus (love), Mars (desires), the Moon (emotions) and Mercury (mentality) in other more compatible signs this match can work. If not it may be that the Sagittarian gets fed up with the Cancerian moods and the Cancerian looks elsewhere for emotional comfort and security. This relationship will always be difficult but if they are prepared to work at it Cancerians can learn to be less sensitive and moody and Sagittarians can learn to be more supportive and less blunt with the truth. back to Relationships

Cancer and Capricorn
On their first meeting Capricorns see Cancerians as confident and secure because they only see the front the Cancerian is hiding behind. Cancerians see Capricorns as strong and calm, someone who they could rely on. Both signs need a supportive partner and they see this possibility in each other as an instant attraction. Capricorns will see Cancerians as sensitive and emotional, quite opposite to themselves but at the same time hard to resist. Cancerians will find Capricorns a bit unemotional for their liking but with a need for commitment they understand and share.

Capricorns are cautious about entering into a relationship until they know where it's heading and Cancerians keep their true feelings to themselves until they are sure they will not be hurt by rejection. This means it may take a while for them to get together. To Capricorns sex is unemotional and shows commitment, something not to be entered into lightly. To Cancerians sex is an emotional expression involving deep feelings and sensuality. This difference could cause serious problems as the more unemotional the Capricorn is the more hurt, withdrawn and depressed the Cancerian becomes.

Capricorns want to master and Cancerians want security. This combination will always be difficult but if both have planets like Venus (love), Mars (desires), the Moon (emotions) and Mercury (mentality) in other more compatible signs it can be a successful match. If not it may be that the Capricorn gets fed up with the Cancerian moods and the Cancerian looks elsewhere for emotional comfort and understanding. This relationship will be hard work but if they are prepared to work at it Capricorns can learn to be more emotionally supportive and less businesslike in relationships and Cancerians can learn to be less sensitive and more realistic about life.

Cancer and Aquarius
On their first meeting Aquarians see Cancerians as a challenge as they can see through the confident and sociable front the Cancerian is hiding behind and want to know more. Cancerians see Aquarians as very friendly and yet unusual, someone to keep them talking and smiling. There may not be an immediate sexual attraction between them on either side as Aquarians just want to be friends and Cancerians are afraid to be hurt by rejection. The Aquarian finds the Cancerian has a depth they can't quite fathom and the Cancerian finds the Aquarian wants to know everything which makes them more inclined to hang onto their secrets.

Aquarians need sex to be satisfying mentally whereas to Cancerians it is an emotional expression involving deep feelings and sensuality. If they do get together for a sexual relationship the Aquarian will find the Cancerian much too emotionally sensitive and the Cancerian will find the Aquarian's coolness not at all what they want from a partner. The more unemotional the Aquarian is the more hurt, withdrawn and depressed the Cancerian becomes causing big problems.

Aquarians want to be friends with everyone and Cancerians want security. This combination is almost impossible but if both have planets like Venus (love), Mars (desires), the Moon (emotions) and Mercury (mentality) in other more compatible signs this match can work. If not it may be that the Aquarian escapes to search for a less clingy partner and the Cancerian looks elsewhere for emotional comfort and security. This relationship will always be difficult but if they are prepared to work at it Aquarians can learn to be less of an individual and be more supportive and Cancerians can learn to be more independent and less sensitive. back to Relationships

Cancer and Pisces
On their first meeting Pisceans see Cancerians as having a sensitive nature like themselves but notice they keep it hidden away behind a confident front. Cancerians see Pisceans as caring and emotional, a kindred spirit. Both signs have a passionate nature so there may be tremendous sexual attraction between them. Pisceans will see Cancerians as someone they can truly rely on who won't hurt their feelings. Cancerians find Pisceans very attractive in a dreamy way which strangely enough they feel they understand.

Pisceans are normally very careful not to reveal how they feel too soon as their emotions are very important to them. Cancerians tend to keep their true feelings to themselves until they are sure they will not be hurt by rejection. But when these two get together they instinctively now they will not hurt each other as there is a real emotional bond between them. Sexually they are extremely well matched with the Piscean providing their imaginative expertise and the Cancerian their extreme tenderness. This pairing was made to last as they provide each other with the kind of support they need.

Pisceans want to live in a dream world of their own making and Cancerians want loving security. This combination can be one of the best especially if they both have planets like Venus (love) and Mars (desires) in compatible signs. If not it may be that the Piscean needs to be more sociable than the Cancerian whose possessiveness gets totally out of hand. However, if they are prepared to work at it Pisceans can learn to trust a partner who will always be there for them and Cancerians can learn to appreciate being loved for who they are. back to Relationships

Cancer and Aries
On their first meeting Ariens see Cancerians as confident like themselves because they only see the front the Cancerian is hiding behind. Cancerians see Ariens as genuinely extrovert and not afraid to be themselves, someone to really admire. Both signs have a passionate nature so there may be an instant sexual attraction between them. Ariens will see Cancerians as very attractive in a gentle and sensitive way. Cancerians find Ariens directness about how they feel quite inspiring.

Ariens are very quick to express their attraction to someone but Cancerians keep their true feelings to themselves until they are sure they will not be hurt by rejection. But because the Arien is so daring and bold the Cancerian may feel that they can be the same and rush headlong into a relationship. Sexually they are opposites as the Arien is pure physical energy whereas the Cancerian is tender and giving. This may not ever be a problem but eventually their emotional differences will be.

Ariens want to be first in everything and Cancerians want security. This combination will always be difficult but if both have planets like Venus (love), Mars (desires), the Moon (emotions) and Mercury (mentality) in other more compatible signs it can be a successful match. If not it may be that the Arien finds they can not cope with such a sensitive partner and the Cancerian looks elsewhere for emotional comfort and security. This relationship will be hard work but if they are prepared to work at it Ariens can learn that they will be appreciated for expressing their sensitive side and Cancerians can learn to be less clingy with a partner who can give them all the loving they need.

Cancer and Taurus
On their first meeting Taureans see Cancerians as confident and secure because they only see the front the Cancerian is hiding behind. Cancerians see Taureans as serious but caring, someone who would give them the emotional support they need. Both signs have a passionate nature so there may be an immediate sexual attraction between them. Taureans find Cancerians are gentle and caring, someone who will understand their needs and desires. Cancerians will find Taureans are not scared of commitment which provides the necessary feeling of security.

Taureans need to feel that a relationship will lead to something more permanent before they make their feelings known and Cancerians keep their true feelings to themselves until they are sure they will not be hurt by rejection. Despite this delay in expressing how they feel they both have a sensual nature which will pull them together like a magnet. They are well matched sexually as the Taurean will find the Cancerian is a very giving partner and the Cancerian will find the Taurean very warm and loving. This sounds perfect but there will be problems when the Taurean doesn't back up their actions with loving words causing the Cancerian to become withdrawn and depressed.

Taureans want to have and Cancerians want security. This combination sounds difficult but if both have planets like Venus (love) and Mars (desires) in other more compatible signs it can be a very successful match. If not it may be that the Taurean gets fed up with the Cancerian moods and the Cancerian looks elsewhere for emotional understanding. This relationship will be hard work but if they are prepared to work at it the Taurean can learn to express the love they feel and the Cancerian can learn to accept that actions sometimes speak louder than words. back to Relationships

Cancer and Gemini
On their first meeting Geminis see Cancerians as a puzzle waiting to be solved because they can see through the confident and sociable front the Cancerian is hiding behind. Cancerians see Geminis as clever and cheerful, someone who can keep them feeling happy. There may be an immediate attraction between them because the Gemini will think the Cancerian is complicated enough to be interesting and the Cancerian will find the social antics of the Gemini very appealing. Geminis will find Cancerians more inclined to hang onto their secrets than they realised and Cancerians are amazed by the Gemini's very graphic imagination.

Geminis can be very persuasive and Cancerians may find it difficult to listen to their normally cautious nature and not rush into a physical relationship. Sexually they will find that they are complete opposites as the Gemini needs an unemotional and mentally rewarding experience whereas the Cancerian needs an emotional expression involving deep feelings and sensuality. It is possible that they will be able to maintain the physical side of the relationship but their other needs will not be fulfilled by each other.

Geminis need excitement from stimulating conversation and Cancerians want security. This combination sounds difficult but if both have planets like Venus (love) and Mars (desires) in other more compatible signs it can be a very successful match. If not it may be that the Gemini disappears to search for a new game leaving the Cancerian feeling let down and hurt. This relationship will be hard work but if they are prepared to work at it Geminis can learn to be more caring about the feelings of others and Cancerians can learn not to rely totally on others for their happiness. back to Relationships
