Aquarius and Cancer
This couple doesn’t have a lot going for it I’m afraid. The Aquarius is a light and heady mix of airiness and independence, whilst the Cancer character is far more possessive and in need of security. Perhaps at first these two maybe intrigued by one another, but this may after a while lead to frustration.
The Aquarius subject is rather aloof emotionally and it is hard for most mortal beings to understand the going’s on of this mysterious air sign, the poor Cancer will no doubt try and work out the inner workings of their air sign partner, but to no avail. Cancer is emotional, deeply emotional, and ever so caring. He/she may feel as though they are on their own at times in this partnership. The Aquarius subject care’s you see, but not in a way that you would always notice.
Surprisingly this couple could make it work. But to do that one of them will need to become rather more submissive, and I personally don’t see that being the Aquarius. One of the great things about this water/air union is that the Cancer will always be there. When the Aquarius finally comes home after whichever mission they have been on he/she can guarantee a nice soft lap to crawl into and snuggle up and forget about the nasty world out there. Will the Cancer want to take on the position of the Aquarius’s nurturer? This I do not know. But I do know there must be a lot of understanding on both sides if this is to work. The Cancer must understand their Aquarius’s need to go off on their own and be independent and the Aquarius must understand the Cancer’s need for quality alone time without the rest of the world.
Sexually this could be quite a sweet union, however, as I have said before the Cancer is a more conservative person than the Aquarius and maybe put off by some of the idea’s this air sign wishes to try out in the bedroom!! The good thing though these two will get along well as friends, whether it will last forever, well, that is for them to answer.

I am an aquarius woman that was dating a cancer man. and boy, was it hard! yes, i had a hard time talking to him about my feelings, but here’s the deal: to really talk about stuff like that, i have to feel safe and secure. but yet, every time i opened my mouth, he’d be all snippy or rude, which of course did not make me feel safe at all. it’s funny, because i really care about him, and i know he really cares about me. but i just don’t think it’s going to work out. i think i’m too sensitive, and he’s too confrontational.

I’m an Aquarius female and have been in a relationship with my Cancer-Leo boyfriend/best friend for nearly four great years. Yes there are ups and downs, like any other relationship, but I find the loyalty, sincerity, sensitivity, and deep emotional attachments(so very different from my own)beautiful. We learn so many things from each other, and although we do not have much of anything in common, it makes for an interesting (definitely never dull) relationship and. I believe that challenge expected with this match is worth it.

Hi, I’m a teenaged girl Aquarius. I take theatre and there’s a boy I really like. He’s a Cancer and I immediatley liked him and we hit it off right away. Usually with guys I’m pretty mean because they end up liking me if Im nice and I hate touching. But he HATES being touched and that makes me feel good about the relationship. Whenever I’m with him alone, we have the greatest conversations. Would dating EVER work?

im a cancer and my boyfriend is an aquarius. weve been together for almost 15 months. the only reason weve lasted this long is because of me. i understand that i am emotional and tend to over think things but its not something i do on purpose. i care about him so much and i wish that he SHOW tha the cares about me the same way. i know that he loves me, he’s made it clear to me several times. he told me that hes not great at saying how he feels hes better at showing it which is completely true but sometimes..hes not that great at showing it either. i startd looking up all this horoscope crap up and now i cant sotp looking at it~!lol
me and my guy are so perfect together and i loveeeee being around him but at other times hes a total emotionaless douche. the relationship was really great at the beginning…like PERFECT!lol hed show me that he cared alllll the time, he’d tell me, he’d hug/kiss me in public. but we got into a little clash about 6 months into the relationship and ever since then it just hasnt been the same. we argue alottt and mostly because of me feeling like he doesnt care. he tells me he does all the time but idk , i jst dont believe it anymore. now..he doesnt evn want to claim me as his girlfriend, he tells me he doesnt want commitment but he still wants me to be with him, he gets jealous easily. . when i distance myself from him, he wants to be around me alllll the time. calling like 3 times a day, constant hugs,etc. . hes a walking contradiction! I DONT UNDERSTANDDD WHAT HE WANTS@!!!! and when i cut off the relationship (which has happened several times) he all of a sudden wants to be the best boyfriend ever and all of a sudden starts giving a shit about me. i just want him to make up his mind..so that i dont have to go through the emotional roller coaster ride of him trying to figure his shit out…ugh. i love him i lov ehim i love him but hes killing me. wwe have the best time together when its just me and him and when were hanging out, hes the closest friend i have and all we ever do is laugh. but when we argue which is mostly through texting, hes a complete dick!! im going to start avoiding aquarius’s from now on!. after i find the balls to end it with my love now ): ugh.

i am an aquarian female just starting to date a cancer man. this is the first cancer that i have ever dated, so when I started looking to see how compatitable we are, all I was finding was how the relationship would be “doomed”. Needless to say it worried me because I have feelings for this man and I really want this to work. I am a flight person, but I wouldn’t say that I am detached from my feelings. However, he is more emotional than I am, but because I enjoy communication, I do not mind talking with him about his feelings, and thats only if he is willing to admit them. I do believe that this relationship will work out for the best, and reading the testimonies of thoses in successful Aquarian/Cancer relationships, it gives me even more hope!

**all smiles** The one thing that does worry me is the fact that I love being out and having fun and that he will want to spend lots of time around me. I do not mind that, don’t get me wrong, but I am the type of person where I need my space for my own sanity. I believe that we would be able to work through those issues and make our relationship last for the long haul…or at least I’m hoping.

Well. For a long time, I’ve dated/been engaged to/ a cancer man. I’m only 18 years old, and he is 19. He’s in a wheelchair, is german, and was born albino. You know what? I don’t care. I don’t judge. I’m a true Aquarius, and I like it that way. We fit together so perfectly, until he couldn’t understand why I was always with him, then went off on my own. I tried to explain to him why I was doing that, (Only because I need my space) and automatically, like the sweet cancer he is, he started worrying that he was losing me because he was unsure of why I need my space. Poor Alex, he worried so much. But together, we were unstoppable. And there’s one thing in the profile that doesn’t describe me. Sadly, in all ways, I’m the jealous type… But that’s always half good, I suppose, because that means I won’t let anyone take my special someone away from me. I have to admit, I’m needy and I want and need love 24/7, only because I’ve been betrayed so much in my life, that I’m always worried about whether I’m going to be betrayed again. I’m not really a risk-taker, but when I take risks, they’re big ones. Alex and I have broken up, and now I’m with a very sweet Sagittarius. I love him, and he gives me all the love I want and need. So to those out there having a tough time with love, don’t give up. There’s always someone out there for you.

This is just not the case I am Aquarius it makes me sound like I have a rock for a heart. I am very caring and sensitive and display I care often. My Cancer mate however is the one who is aloof emotionally. Not open and this tender heart that is written here at all……

Cancer gal with a 1 1/2 younger aquarious man! i feel like i made the biggest mistake ever. he wants control over everything and thinks that he can say whatever he wants.
i can’t stand him and read to leave him
