Leo and Cancer Compatibility

Leo Astral Profiles and Compatibilities

The Leo is the fire that has expanded and takes care of everything. It reflects the strength of life, the joy of living, the ability to love, the arts and personal talents to be developed. This native lives in search of great love and prepares all its life to find it. But it doesn't want a calm and gentle love; it accepts nothing less than an eternal, burning passion, as in the first encounters.

According to Astrology, Leo has greater astral compatibility with Aries and Libra. Aries gives courage and encourages Leo's adventurous spirit, while Libra accentuates its charm and grace. Leo also gets along well with Sagittarius and Gemini. Leo is less akin to Cancer and Virgo, signs with very different personalities than Leo. However, the Leo and Cancer combination can work if the male is Leo and the female is Cancer. Leo and Capricorn's relationship is equally difficult. Both want to be in charge, they have difficulty negotiating and their personalities have little in common.

According to Astrology, the signs of the Zodiac that share the same energetic charge, the Primordial Element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water), energize each other, while signs of different Elements may have greater difficulty in relating to each other. Fire follows the motto “it is better to travel with hope than to arrive”; Earth prefers “arrival”; Air works “as a function of intellect and logic”; Water follows "the ebb and flow of the tide of feelings". Together, the four Elements represent opposites but also the complementarity of astrological archetypes.

Compatibility of Leo and Cancer

Leo is a Fire sign, Fixed, and ruled by the planet Neptune, a star associated with the absence of borders, the world of feelings, escape, letting go with the tide. But also to dreams and fantasies, to confusion or charm. This is one of the most affectionate and generous signs in the entire Zodiac. A supportive Leo is loving and pays attention to its partner, friends and family. It is also very generous with the time and attention it gives to others. Their instinct is to give.

Cancer is a sign ruled by the Moon, feminine, being considered the most lovable, sensitive and available among the signs of the Zodiac. Cancer has a charming and whimsical personality, dreamy, wildly intuitive and extremely sensitive. But it's also fascinating, fatally attractive, a little strange, vaguely medium. And the native Cancer can be all of these at the same time, depending on the character that the person in its life awakens in it.

In a Leo and Cancer union, the different energy charges of the Moon and the Sun meet and, despite their differences, they have enough affinity to complement each other. Cancer admires Leo's strength, vital energy and vibrant courage. Leo is seduced by Cancer's intuition and sensitivity. But, Cancer Water can extinguish Leo Fire and this can evaporate Water. When confronted, this relationship may not have the necessary foundations to evolve and last.

Cancer is a sign that suffers from great mood swings. Like the tides commanded by the Moon, Cancer's disposition balances between moments of great serenity and others of profound sadness. Leo doesn't know how to handle this and cannot stand this indecision and wants a more affectionate partner.

The Leo Sun rules the day and the Cancer Moon rules the night. Both have a leadership profile and like to rule, but Cancer can dominate Leo, and Leo hates to be commanded. This can give rise to power struggles. The proud Leo does not stay and Cancer takes refuge in its protective shell and attacks with its deadly pincers.

Cancer men and women appreciate their freedom and don't like Leo holding them back. Although Leo is fascinated by Cancer's emotional and sensitive personality, it may find its partner overbearing and aggressive. In situations of open conflict it can be very difficult to find a point of balance unless the feeling, or the interests that unite them, overlap with the personality of each one. The mutual desire to preserve and protect the family can keep them together for years to come.

How the Fire and Water Signs Relate to Each Other

Scalding steam or damp fuse. Water has difficulty dealing with Fire's independence; hurt feelings abound. The fiery combination of the Fire and Water Elements can produce explosive moments, charged with turbulent passions and emotional complexities.

Both like to live a permeated existence with strong emotions; the joviality and fires of Fire give way to the inflamed feelings of vigor and excitement of Water. When these feelings are shared, a joyful state of harmony and peace remains between them.

The relationship begins to strain when Water places too heavy demands on Fire, leaving Fire responsible for its happiness and contentment. Regardless, Fire has a lot to give to itself and little to give to relationships, making Water have some difficulty dealing with this lack of surrender. It is in this sense that the relationship between these two elements may result in a slow estrangement, which will end, later, in an eventual rupture.

For a relationship between Fire and Water to survive, both natives need to be more acutely aware of their missing aspects: Fire needs more patience, consideration and sensitivity towards others; and Water needs to get away from itself to see that the world is much bigger than it thinks.

The Fire Element and the Astral Personality

The Fire native is dynamic, enterprising, physically active and full of energy. Overwhelmed by enthusiasm, it has a tendency to exaggerate and overexpress himself. With a Choleric temperament, the genius of these natives is easily inflamed – everyone who lives with a person of this Element is well aware of their typical outbursts of bad temper.

In emotional terms, Fire's temperament is not very demonstrative and its “dryness” can make it rigid and even insensitive. Impatience makes it ungracious in its expressions, reaching to rudeness and hostility.

It reacts with great intensity to external threats or challenges, and it can be conflictual or even violent. In extreme cases, the combination of lack of sensitivity and the ease with which they express your anger can make them cruel.

The Water Element and the Astral Personality

The most obvious feature of the Water Element is sensitivity. Unlike the Fire Element signs, which represent activity and faith in “moving mountains”, the Water Element signs represent emotions, sensations, perception. Empathy, intuition, fantasy, dreams, affections, feelings are the field of action par excellence for this personality.

The Water signs are like sponges. When placed in a positive environment, where everything is fine, the person is fine and feels emotionally balanced. If, on the contrary, you live in a toxic environment, charged with negative energies, you feel bad and pessimistic.

A Cold and Wet Element, it is a personality that easily molds itself to people's opinions and to the characteristics of the environment. It collects various influences, but it fails to organize them and give them coherence. It is a whole made up of several loose parts that cannot be linked together.

Astrology and Compatibility Between Zodiac Signs

Affinities in relationships manifest themselves in a variety of ways and Astrology can give some clues about how the signs interact with each other. Astrology tells us that the greatest compatibilities arise when two people belong to the same astrological element, as they share the same vision of reality and have a similar way of being and living.

Likewise, the attraction between two opposite signs can be instantaneous and the relationship tends to be harmonious. However, this does not mean that there are no affinities between people belonging to signs of different elements. Where there is love, affection and understanding, life happens. How the relationship evolves depends on many factors, astrological profiles being just one of them.

This is a result of the astrological profiles of the signs that you chose based on the analysis of the compatibility between temperaments, energies and characteristics. This analysis is based on general data, being valid for all types of relationships, whether love, friendship or work.

A detailed and personalized study is only possible through a synastry report. Although the profiles of the signs allow us to deduce whether they are more or less compatible with each other, only through the birth chart is it possible to make a realistic interpretation and draw true conclusions.

Remember that relationships are influenced by multiple variables, astrological being just one of them. The force of will, commitment and free choice condition the way in which relationships can or cannot progress in a favourable way. Any relationship, regardless of the influence of the stars, can work as long as there is a desire for it to happen, on both sides.
