An interesting contrast

You are built differently — and that is both the difficulty and the pair's chief value. Wherever you learn to translate between your languages, the differences become strength. This is a union that teaches both partners a great deal, if both are willing to learn.

Cancer and Aquarius is a meeting of water and air. Cancer senses a room before entering it. Aquarius lives a couple of years ahead of the calendar: your ideas are first called strange, then obvious. Together this is a combination with plenty to teach each other.

Cancer in a relationship

In love, Cancer builds a nest and guards it seriously. She needs quiet certainty that your back is her back too — not loud passion for show.

Aquarius in a relationship

In love, Aquarius needs a friend first and everything else after. Jealousy and control put her out; trust and a shared "why" turn her into the most loyal ally there is.

Elements: Water and Air

Air and water live in different dimensions: one in thoughts, words and ideas, the other in feelings and depth. He sometimes thinks she feels everything too much; she thinks he reasons a little coldly where he should simply feel. But let air learn to dive and water learn to speak, and you get a rare pair where mind and heart finally share one language.

How you act as a pair

A beautiful tandem: one sets the direction, the other holds the course. The initiator invents; the steady one delivers and won't let things be abandoned halfway. It only asks that the leader respect the follower's pace.

What the stars say

An even, unobtrusive combination: no fireworks “at first sight”, but plenty of room to get to know each other calmly.
