Cancer
is more attached to family, m ore nostalgic, and more
domestic
than Aquarius. Aquarius is very friendly but not as
emotionally involved with family and has much broader tastes
and interests. Cancer, for example, becomes very emotionally
attached to familiar surroundings and is inclined to live in
one place for a long time. Aquarius on the other hand, is
more willing to follow whatever direction that career
changes and other demands necessitate.Aquarius quickly makes new friends and does not need as high
a degree of intimacy as Cancer and therefore finds the
transition to new surroundings much easier. Cancer is also
more concerned with having financial and material security
and is more inclined to worry if circumstances are not
stable and secure. Cancer needs to be needed and wants a
level of emotional bonding and nurturing that Aquarius may
be incapable of. Both of you have a strong concern for
people, but while Cancer is very personal and responds
mostly to family or to people in the immediate environment,
Aquarius has broader concerns, more universal sympathies,
and an interest in human welfare in general. Aquarius often
puts friends, social concerns or causes, or involvement in
the world at large ahead of family loyalties, while Cancer
isn't inclined that way at all and may feel neglected and
hurt by Aquarius's attitude.
The two
of you are quite different in other respects also. Cancer is
sentimental and emotionally attached to the past, to
familiar places and people, and to the safety, security and
comfort of the known. Aquarius, on the other hand, craves
newness and excitement, and is rebellious or at least
indifferent to convention and the traditions of the past.
Aquarius is not averse to making radical changes in
residence or lifestyle, while Cancer holds tightly to things
as they are. Also,
Aquarius values personal freedom and needs to maintain a
sense of individuality even in close relationships, while
Cancer is very dependent on loved ones and may be made very
anxious and insecure by Aquarius's independence. Aquarius
needs to be sensitive to Cancer's feelings and attachments,
and to recognise that change which is too rapid or sudden is
very upsetting to Cancer. Another difference between you is
that Cancer is very emotional and subjective, while Aquarius
is clear and objective, and frequently out of touch with
emotions. Positively, Cancer can help Aquarius get in touch
with deep feelings, sensitivities, and emotional needs that
Aquarius has buried, and Aquarius can help cancer get some
more clarity and perspective on Cancer's sometimes confusing
or overwhelming feelings and moods.
This
relationship changes course suddenly and unexpectedly. There
is a great deal of unpredictability to the relationship. At
best, your relationship is exciting and unconventional, and
at worst it leaves Aquarius frustrated by Cancer's
unwillingness to be more committed and devoted to the
relationship. The unpredictable nature of the relationship
and the lack of constancy and security may cause either, or
both, of you to feel very uncomfortable. The two
of you frequently approach work and goals in very different
ways, and consequently you are inclined to step on each
other's toes. Aquarius may feel that Cancer is pushy or
insensitive to all of the issues and concerns that are
involved in a situation. You can work together very
effectively, but it requires you to allow each other the
freedom to approach problems in a very different way than
you would. Very often you can accomplish more by working
separately from each other on different aspects of a problem
rather than attempting to work jointly.
Romantic love and sexual attraction is very strong. You pour
your hearts out to each other and feel like you are able to
express your feelings to each other very fully. Sexually
there is an electric excitement and energy between you that
comes and goes. You are apt to be highly adventurous - if
not downright deviant - as sexual partners. Combining
variety with truly satisfying intimacy, mutual enjoyment can
be achieved. When you try out new varieties of sexual
expression, it is important to define your sexual
desires,
to avoid confusion. Oils and creams may appeal to you. There
is a magnetic, rather intense attraction between you, and it
is very likely that you will go through many intense
challenges and emotionally powerful experiences together. The two
of you have a strong intuitive understanding of each other,
and you inspire each other's imagination, idealism, and
aspirations. You help each other to become clearer about
your ideals and religious inclinations, and together you
develop a greater sense of meaning and purpose in your
lives. You help each other to look beyond the daily problems
and issues of your personal lives and focus more on
altruistic goals and broader issues.
