A love story between Gemini and Cancer is not obvious. In the early days, Cancer will be charmed by Gemini's childlike humor and carefreeness. When with the air sign, life is immediately softer and lighter for the perpetually anxious water sign. For their part, Gemini quickly lights up for Cancer because they are attracted by the water sign's softness and sensitivity. Gemini would love to be carried away by Cancer's eccentricity and learn to discover the world.

Their relationship can be as intense as the love between two teenagers where everything is beautiful, new and without any constraint. They live for the moment and are very happy with that. However, Cancer will probably be the first to tire of this situation as they love stability, the family and constructing a home.

Gemini wants to enjoy life and preserve their freedom for as long as possible. The air sign likes conquest, change and novelty. In fact, they don't really have the intention of committing to anyone. Gemini's preference is to be free because they fear boredom more than anything in the world.

So, if Cancer suggests marriage, children and a mortgage, chances are they'll run like the devil, unless they are really head over heels for the water sign.

Communication and emotion between Gemini and Cancer

If there is one sign with whom you can talk about anything it is Gemini. They are champions of communication and love chatting for hours. Admittedly sometimes they just do it to fill an inner void, but they feel able to trust Cancer with personal things that they wouldn't reveal to another sign. In Cancer's behavior Gemini recognizes an almost maternal thread that attracts them and makes them feel safe talking about anything that goes through their head.

On the other hand, sharing emotions will be much more difficult because Gemini avoids serious emotion like the plague. It's not that they feel they have to avoid difficult subjects, just that doing so helps them maintain their personal balance. To be able to move forward without looking behind and without burdening themselves is their creed. However, Cancer is a being totally governed by their emotions; if they can't talk openly with their partner, they will feel sad and frustrated.

Trust between Gemini and Cancer

Gemini is a being who is always in motion and it is very difficult to trust this air sign. Nobody can imprison them or impose constraints on them; their freedom is paramount. If they get bored or feel overwhelmed nothing and no one can force them to stay in a relationship. Gemini is an honest sign in the sense that they do not feel the need to lie or deceive their partner. The only thing that could spoil their trust would be to try and interfere with their freedom of movement.

Cancer, being a particularly emotional and anxious sign, will find it incredibly difficult to accept that Gemini likes to spend a lot of time outside the home. When they are in a romantic relationship with Gemini, Cancer must be prepared to spend a lot of time alone and this can go against everything they want from life. The water sign wants a family and a secure cocoon while the air sign lives only for independence and adventure.

Intimacy and sexuality of Gemini with Cancer

Bedroom antics are not the most harmonious domain for Gemini and Cancer. For Cancer, intimacy comes from tenderness. They need a safe place and a propitious moment to give themselves completely. And as Cancer is dominated by the Moon, they prefer to do things in the dark and don't like their intimacy to be visible to others. On the other hand, Gemini is much more physical and erotic, wanting to try things that are out of the ordinary.

For Gemini, sexual relations are not necessarily the result of love. This attitude is likely to displease the water sign because it is the opposite of how they feel. It can also cause Cancer emotional pain as they are both very conventional and very romantic. Therefore, they probably won't feel very comfortable with the air sign's propositions and even less so with the idea of sex without love.

Compatibility in love

A Gemini man with a Cancer woman: both are a bit like children, but one wants constant adventure and the other complete security. Mr Gemini and Miss Cancer certainly agree that they do not want to grow up, but that is not always enough for them to lead a harmonious life. Since the air sign is not a model of stability, he won't give the water sign the protection she desperately needs. Miss Cancer, on the other hand, won't understand Mr Gemini's irrepressible need to move and to flirt and will easily retreat into her shell.

A Gemini woman with a Cancer man: if this relationship is to be long-lasting it's best it is based on a solid friendship first. Mr Cancer and Miss Gemini truly live in two very different worlds. The water sign is a great dreamer who prefers to live in his own little world. But the air sign is unstable and fragile, not at all designed to manage the difficulties of everyday life. However, it is on her shoulders that the organization of their couple will rest. The greatest worry is that both these signs

Delicate

At work, Gemini is very attached to their independence; they like to be left alone to organize things the way that suits them. Putting a Gemini and a Cancer on the same project can pose some productivity problems. In fact, there won't be any animosity between them but rather a kind of mutual indulgence which means neither will react to or motivate the other. In short, there is no energy between them.

Cancer is very sensitive, always thinking about their family and has a constant need to lean on solid people at work in order to be able to externalize. When they have to work with an air sign, relationships can be tricky because Cancer finds Gemini completely lacking in stability. In absolute terms, these two signs are supposed to complement each other well since Gemini offers overflowing creativity while Cancer brings strong support and remarkable assiduity.

In fact, their characters are so different that they find it very difficult to form a strong professional alliance. They do not have the same working pace at all. While Cancer is calm and collected, Gemini moves at a hundred miles an hour, scattering ideas in every direction. The water sign is reserved and orderly, so will always check their work several times to ensure there are no errors. On the other hand, the air sign does not clutter their lives with details like this. They make decisions on a whim and don't worry about details.

communication, adaptability, creativity

A friendship between Gemini and Cancer is unlikely to last long. The air sign may find the water sign pleasant, but they also find them too smothering. Gemini hates feeling suffocated in any relationship. In short, when with Cancer Gemini will feel a serious lack of air and will want to escape at the first opportunity. Although they can appreciate Cancer's safe and tender side this is not enough to make the friendship last for a long time.

Although Gemini and Cancer are both naturally friendly signs and the first to offer help in times of need, this doesn't make their relationship any better. In fact, they have little in common and their hobbies won't bring them together either. The idea of going on holiday together would be impossible! Gemini dreams of holidays full of action, improvised trips, cultural visits, lively evenings with lots of people. Cancer wants a quiet holiday away from the hustle and bustle.

Cancer's idea of a great holiday is rest, small family reunions, a little nature appreciation, out of the way places and few people. In short, they have totally opposite desires, and their communication can also be complicated. Gemini has a double nature so they can be both gentle and communicative but also snappy and cutting in their replies. This duality can easily upset Cancer who will immediately retreat into their shell and hold a real grudge against the air sign. Alas, even if they manage to start a friendship it has very little chance of long term survival.

Within the family understanding between Gemini and Cancer is not great, in fact you could even say it is nothing to write home about. These two signs find it very difficult to understand each other and are definitely on different wavelengths. Gemini is turned towards communication, they are very volatile and need to be surrounded by people to chat, grow and make new discoveries. Cancer is much more self-contained and discreet, always oriented towards emotional analysis, emotional security and family values. So these two don't have much in common except blood ties. Gemini quickly feels stifled by Cancer's behavior and the water sign thinks that it has no influence on the air sign. It is therefore better for them to be together as rarely as possible in order to avoid tension.

As for marriage, the chance of a successful marriage between Gemini and Cancer is slim. They are not completely incompatible but let's say they get along much better in other spheres than romantic relationships. Unless there are common goals and interests, the air sign and the water sign are not meant to lead a long-term relationship. Moreover, it is likely that their bond is destined to end abruptly, and that Cancer will not have seen it coming. When the water sign finally understands that their relationship is about to end, Gemini will already have packed their suitcase and turned on their heels to search elsewhere for the distraction they lack
