Cancer and Aquarius are signs who don’t seem to have a lot in common at first. One is dominated by water and the other by air, so any chemistry between them is likely to be fragile. When Cancer and Aquarius are together, they share a common imagination and a certain carefreeness.

They can get on very well together but they still have a very different view of how life should be lived. Cancer is very interested in their past; always analyzing their feelings and emotions. Aquarius is naturally avant-garde and very focused on the future. What’s more, the air sign wants more of an intellectual than an emotional connection with their partner and that doesn’t suit the water sign at all.

Aquarius needs a partner who will support them without constraining their freedom, they need to feel free to act as they please. They love change and meeting lots of new people whereas Cancer dislikes being in the wide world and prefers small groups and the warmth of home.

Nevertheless, these differences don’t represent an insuperable blockage. If each loves the other sincerely, they are capable of making compromises to ensure their story lasts.

Communication and emotion between Cancer and Aquarius

In order for Cancer and Aquarius to learn to understand each other they must both be willing because communication between them is liable to misunderstanding. Even though they get along well enough if they are working on a common project, they find it hard to get on the same wavelength and agree with each other. Aquarius finds it hard to deal with Cancer’s hyper-sensitivity and the water sign doesn’t understand why Aquarius finds it so hard to say what they feel.

And when it comes to emotions, they also find it difficult to reconcile their different natures. Aquarius is too fast moving and active to understand the sensitivity of Cancer who only really feels happy when the atmosphere is calm and comforting. The water sign is easily upset by the air sign’s rebellious nature. However, when they do find a balance and learn to tolerate each other’s differences they can lead a very pleasant life together.

Trust between Cancer and Aquarius

Cancer is a generally honest sign who does not feel the need to flirt with others in order to feel alive. The only time the water sign won’t say what they are thinking is if they think Aquarius won’t like it and they don’t want to hurt the air sign. Sometimes with an air sign like Aquarius Cancer doesn’t dare say what they are thinking because they are worried about being misunderstood.

The water sign just doesn’t believe that Aquarius can be empathetic and caring. When it comes to the air sign, Cancer may tend to be mistrustful because Aquarius’ constant need for change can lead Cancer to believe the air sign is unfaithful. What is a real pity with these two signs is that neither of them necessarily wants to lie to themselves, but there is a sort of barrier that stops them believing their relationship can last.

Intimacy and sexuality of Cancer with Aquarius

When it comes to intimacy between Cancer and Aquarius, everything is a question of balance and at the beginning of their relationship this may be difficult to find. Cancer is renowned for their excessive sensitivity and gets easily stressed if they feel they can’t impose limits on their partner. Aquarius, on the other hand constantly needs something new, including in their sex lives, but also likes to know where they are. That is to say, they like change but not a revolution!

The objective for these two will be for Cancer to worry less and let their rational side be catered for. Aquarius needs to control their overwhelming energy and refrain from insisting their partner tries new things. If they can reach a good understanding, Cancer will bring Aquarius tenderness and gentleness while Aquarius will ensure that things don’t get too routine in the bedroom.

Compatibility in love
