Aquarius Woman x Cancer Man

The Aquarius woman and Cancer man have more in common than you might think. Although Cancer is known as the home living sign, and Aquarius is renowned for a need for freedom, the two can co-exist very happily indeed with just a little bit of give and take. For the Aquarius woman and Cancer man, compatibility needs working on, but it brings great rewards.

The only things the Aquarius woman loves more than freedom and independence are humanity and compassion. The Cancer man is almost unique in his ability to offer her these qualities while convincing her that it is worth putting down some roots too. She absolutely adores his kindness and his ability to empathize with others. She is a true humanitarian and is exceptionally friendly and kind herself, but she does lack the emotional depth to truly feel how someone else is feeling – she knows her Cancer man can do this, and is frankly in awe of him for it. Aquarius woman Cancer man compatibility has a strong foundation in this admiration.

The Cancer man also recognizes a kindred spirit in the Aquarius woman. Her refusal to be tied down may alarm him at first, and he will always worry, at the back of his mind, about whether she'll just up and leave him one day, but he can see through the emotional aloofness to find emotions she didn't even realize she had. The Cancer man touches something deep within the Aquarius woman's soul, and both partners sense this. There's an almost mystical element to this attraction. It won't be at all obvious to others, who will wonder how this couple got together, but for the Aquarius woman and Cancer man, compatibility has many intriguing possibilities.

Of course, this couple can run into problems, just like any other. For the Aquarius woman, sex is not a high priority, and her take it or leave it approach to Cancer in the bedroom can be very wounding for her Cancer guy. She is aware of this, though, and does make an effort for him. She will even try to be a little more touchy feely in every day life for the sake of her Cancer guy, because she values him so much. Where she draws the line, however, is his demands for her to make a "proper commitment". She doesn't feel the need to sign a bit of paper or to constantly say that she loves him – she knows she does, and she feels that he should know it too. So this lack of an official commitment can cause problems in Aquarius woman Cancer man compatibility.

It's also common for the Aquarius woman to tire of the Cancer man's unfathomable moods. She just doesn't understand his moodiness, and will take it personally. In order to avoid her deciding that it's just simply too much trouble, the Cancer man will need to tone down his moods a shade, or at least commit to telling her what the problem is rather than sinking into a sulky silence. The Aquarius woman is an air sign and is not afraid of discussing problems – but she can't discuss what she doesn't know or understand. For the best chance at Aquarius woman Cancer man compatibility, greater verbal communication is needed.

This couple soon learn the lesson they need to learn, however. The Aquarius woman is a fixed sign, and if she is determined to make the relationship work, nothing will stand in her way. Her Cancer man is a cardinal sign, and he too will pour great initiative and determination into making things work. It's this shared force of will, together with their shared humanitarian streak, which really underlines their love. It's what makes Aquarius woman Cancer man compatibility work so well – to the surprise of the rest of us!

Aquarius Woman and Cancer Man Compatibility

The hidden quality in this relationship is a something they share called "zaniness". Both parties see the world a little tilted and enjoy their perspectives immensely. There is some gender bending as well. The Cancer man is nurturing and caring while the Aquarius woman provides clarity and vision. As you can see by the famous couples listed, it can be a very positive and enduring relationship. All three of the couples are synonymous with "great loves".

Cancer is the most protective sign while Aquarius is the boldest. Often the man is looking for an intellectual component – a cold shower as it were – which is a big relief to the Aquarius woman who is too often expected to dumb down. Her intellectual capabilities come not in terms of logic, culture or education. Rather it is her strokes of genius which come in terms of inspiration, bolts out of the blue, those shocking things Aquarians say with which there is no arguing and after which you never look at the world the same way again. Their deepest connection, however, comes from Aquarius' desire to lead a conventional lifestyle and Cancer's ability to provide just that. Having a big sweet hunk of a guy take care of you, gives Aquarius the perfect cover. People will think she's normal, just like other women.

These two can be quite devoted to one another especially as there is little ego connection between them. They can be selfless in each other's presence like no two other people.

Degree of Marriage

This seemingly unlikely combination makes an excellent and lasting marriage. Cancers never want to end anything and Aquarians are among the most loyal of the zodiac. Both "believe in" marriage.

Aquarians pay a huge price for their Promethean qualities and often stand alone and exposed in the world they are trying to help. Cancer gives them a safe place to take respite.
