Cancer is a cardinal water sign ruled by the moon and Aquarius is a fixed air sign ruled by Uranus. Cardinal signs are more flexible and intuitive than fixed signs, which can be stuck in their ways. Emotional water signs and intellectual air signs can get along if they prioritize communication and work to balance feelings and logic in their relationship.

Cancer is willing to experiment to please their partner and partially put aside their need for an emotional connection in bed. Aquarius gets curious about their partner’s ticks and is willing to slow things down so Cancer can feel emotionally secure.

These signs’ emotional incompatibility can be overcome with compromise if they are dedicated to each other. They both have a desire to care for their partner, and this common ground can stabilize their emotional exchange.

Neither sign wants to lie to each other. However, they might feel the need to shield some of their thoughts and feelings from the other to maintain harmony.

These opposite signs can bond over travel. If Aquarius and Cancer can agree to build a strong home base, they’ll enjoy learning new things and seeing new places together.
