Cancer women have a tendency to withdraw into their own shells and protect themselves. Because she feels safe with a Libra man, she doesn’t feel the need to do that.
Libra’s masculinity is balanced by his feminine ruling planet, Venus. It makes him softer and more protective—not brash and aggressive like other masculine signs. A Cancer woman affirms and exalts his subtle masculinity, making him feel like a knight in shining armor.
The ever-optimistic Libra man tends to calm the more pessimistic Cancer woman. He lifts her up and frees her to be more open and experimental with life, while she teaches him to be more cautious. While a logical Air sign would normally have trouble with an emotional Water sign, Libra’s ruling planet, Venus, gives him a more emotional bent when it comes to matters of the heart.
Cancer, lean on your Libra man when you need a logical decision. He’s able to set aside his emotions in a way you might have a hard time doing. He can bring rationality to a situation where your heart is torn. Libra, trust your Cancer woman’s innate intuition. Because she understands and values emotions, sometimes she just knows what’s right. She can help bring compassion to your fight for justice.
Cancer, recognize that your Libra’s logic and rationality don’t mean he’s cold and heartless. Use your innate listening skills to gain a new perspective from him that could improve your overall understanding. Libra, you’re the consummate intellectual. You want a woman who’s both refined and smart, who can hold her own in a conversation with you. With a Cancer woman, you feel as though you’ve met your match—you just need to understand that she’s going to consider her emotional needs over anything else.
Cancer, learn to be open and express your feelings immediately rather than repressing them and letting them build up quietly. You don’t have to fear confrontation because he will immediately reassure you of your place in his heart. Libra, since you’re an Air sign, communication is your strong suit. You look at things intellectually and logically, but you need to understand that your Cancer woman is going to focus on the emotional side of things first.
Cancer, be direct and honest about your feelings and tell him what you need. A Libra man loves to feel needed and he’ll do everything he can to make you feel secure—he just needs to know what that is. Libra, give your Cancer woman constant reassurance of your feelings for her. She’ll be more inclined to trust you if she has no doubt in her mind about your love and devotion.
Cancer, capitalize on your natural femininity here. A Libra guy falls head-over-heels for the demure, slightly innocent, classically feminine look. He has a more subtle masculinity that appears stronger next to a softer silhouette. Libra, you’re ruled by Venus, the planet of love. Some even say you invented romance, so you have no problem wooing your Cancer woman. She’ll always feel comfortable, warm, and secure in your protective arms.
Cancer, don’t let your innate shyness hold you back. Your Libra man cares about both your physical and your emotional needs and will go above and beyond to ensure you’re sexually fulfilled. Libra, be open and direct. You might need to ask a Cancer woman about her needs and expectations in bed because she won’t always feel comfortable expressing them. It also helps if you’re willing to take the lead in the bedroom, especially at first.
Cancer, use your innate intuition and nurturing love to gently guide your indecisive Libra man. He’ll appreciate your support and understanding, which will give him the confidence he needs to stand strong. Libra, use your diplomatic nature to help your Cancer woman see another side when she becomes too inward-facing. She’ll feel safe and comfortable with you, which will calm her emotional turmoil.
Cancer, make an effort to speak up when something’s bothering you. If you feel too shy to just blurt it out, maybe write your Libra guy a letter telling him how you feel. It’s always better if these things are out in the open. Libra, check in with your Cancer woman regularly and encourage her to tell you when she’s feeling off. At the same time, make sure you’re not writing off your own emotions.
