Sun Signs which are two signs apart from each other, such as Cancer and Virgo, are ruled by complementary elements, here Water and Earth, and for this reason are traditionally considered to get on very well in a love relationship! What makes these signs so compatible is that the two are linked by sufficient similarities to allow them to function harmoniously together, yet at the same time there are enough differences to provide an alternative perspective and create that all important spark of excitement.
In this case both Cancer and Virgo are natural born carers with the same desire to look after – and at times fuss rather unnecessarily over – each other. Cancer and Virgo, both big worriers, tend to have a lot of sympathy for each other's little anxieties and can provide each other with strong mutual support in a long-term relationship. Actually, they often make ideal partners, both being talented home-makers, with the Crab providing the loving touch, while Virgo looks after the practicalities.
Cancer and Virgo are somewhat unalike, of course, in that while Virgo's strengths are its pragmatism and attention to detail, Cancer takes a more intuitive and sensitive approach. And whereas Virgo tends to be quite down-to-earth and emotionally self-contained, the watery Crab is much more concerned with feelings. However, because these traits balance each other well, they have the potential to be a highly successful team!
