Leo and Cancer Love Compatibility
Cancer rules the moon and Leo rules the sun, hence these two zodiac signs are diametrically opposed.
This does not necessarily imply that they are destined for cosmic incompatibility. After all, the sun and moon are in a never-ending dance with each other, thus Cancer and Leo solar signs may frequently find themselves drawn together—especially for friendship, but also for a soap opera-style relationship.Cancer and Leo will experience a multitude of hot-cold, push-pull, will-they-or-won't-they dynamics, similar to how the sun and moon change their perspectives on each other during the month. Each of their separate best friends will be made aware of the fresh dramas emerging in this dramatic epic, leading those friends to wonder what brings these two together. It may be a question that Cancer and Leo struggle to express in words, but it will be much more difficult for these two to let each other out of their particular orbit.
It's a good thing both of these indicators can tolerate spectacular shows of affection. Relationships, at least once in the lives of these two heartbroken, lovelorn romantics, require a plot worthy of a feature film. While they both may declare that they can't take any more drama, they may also find themselves active participants in this cycle.
Fortunately, their emotional highs can be rather pleasant. Cancer enjoys receiving gushing, amorous overtures, which over-the-top Leo readily provides. Leos are very generous with their offerings. Cancers are quite liberal in their expressions of affection. As a result, both will feel taken care of.
Cancer, unlike the attention-seeking Leo, prefers privacy. If Leo is not paying close attention, they may misinterpret Cancer's demand for space as ghosting or a personal insult. In turn, Leo will feel slighted and may push a confrontation that Cancer does not desire. Cancer will not necessarily comprehend Leo's problem, which will sting Leo's pride the more. While Leos consider arguments as a good way to express their emotions, Cancers find fights disruptive. When Leo wants to talk things out, the Crab prefers to retreat and digest their feelings, making Leo feel invisible and unappreciated. And for someone dominated by the warmth of the sun, that amount of freezing chill will not last long.
For the partnership to work, both parties must commit to addressing their own anxieties. This will necessitate collaborating with the other to achieve elemental balance, so that the other person does not feel like they are extinguishing their fire. When this back-and-forth dynamic reaches a crucial point, both parties will have to actively seek compromise. Alternatively, they may be compelled to conclude that their different energies work well as friends.
