Are a Cancer and Scorpio well matched? How would an Aries and a Cancer be compatible in a relationship? All aspects of a birth chart must be examined.

An experienced astrologer would normally use the Moon, Mars, Venus and the Rising sign when comparing a couple potential for lasting romance. Comparing two Sun signs however, is a good start in the right direction.

Condensed Sun Sign Cancer Potential Matches

The following are generally considered to be good Sun Sign Matches for Cancer, "the crab" of the zodiac.

  • Cancer with Cancer – A Cancer and Cancer couple may never leave the house, but they won't need to with all the warmth and love in this relationship. As long as one person in the couple has the wherewithal to bring home the bacon, they'll live in bliss with little unwanted interference from the outside world. Not that they don't care about socializing, it's just they don't need it as much as most couples do. These two also can't resist the urge to mother those who appear to be in need, most people won't mind, in fact many are flattered by this refreshing approach to humanity.
  • Cancer with Leo – Cancer could very well find a natural home under the powerful shine of the confident lion. Leo's positive and sure nature, can be like a guiding light for Cancer, insulating the crab from darker moods. Leo will appreciate and admire the depth of Cancer's emotions. Cancer will need to curb a tendency to put out Leo's fire at inopportune times. Socially, others truly feel welcomed as they sense the inner calm that these two bring to the table, as they are non-judgmental and magnanimous to boot.
  • Cancer with Virgo – Cancer will appreciate Virgo's sense of order and down-to-earth, sunny nature. With no big surprises or ego to contend with, Cancer will feel able to express himself without fear of being squelched or overshadowed. At times, Virgo's cutting remarks, or observations will hurt Cancer to the core, but Virgo's original intent is to try to perfect the crab. Once Virgo realizes Cancer's limits or boundaries, a Virgo and Cancer couple can work very well together.
  • Cancer with Libra – A Cancer and Libra couple will love the cozy feeling they get when they're alone together. Neither wants conflict and both strive for total harmony. If Cancer also doesn't try to hinder Libra's natural desire to socialize, these two will get along even better. Libra is easily able to pull Cancer out of it's shell, making Cancer a much more evolved person all around.
  • Cancer with Scorpio – These two Sun Signs will have a natural affinity for each other right off the bat, as if they've known each other from another time and place. Both members of a Scorpio and Cancer couple are perceptive to a fault, with sensitivity levels that are unusually high. Scorpio admires Cancer's vulnerable side and is careful not to exploit it, unless the crab gets out of line. Cancer will not not make too much of a fuss allowing Scorpio to wield a natural love of power.
  • Cancer with Sagittarius – Sagittarius loves freedom, Cancer loves togetherness, if these two can find common ground between their polar emotional make-ups, it could make for an interesting ride. Sensitive Cancer may find straight shooting Sagittarius quite a handful at first, however Sagittarius's philosophical side can also be the bridge that Cancer yearns for. Cancer can be outgoing and quite enterprising when the occasion arises, which can impress Sagittarius.
  • Cancer with Capricorn - Cancer the Crab will admire the worldly way in with which Capricorn carries itself, while Capricorn will be drawn to the emotional calm of Cancer. Being at opposite ends of the zodiac, each person offers what the other is missing. Capricorn lifts Cancer up into the world of possibilities, while Cancer shows Capricorn how to tap into his emotional side – away from the colder, detached business world.
  • Cancer with Aquarius - The Aquarius and Cancer couple will likely be fascinated by each other initially, they both have a natural love of people and they share a similar type humor. However, when Aquarius wants to party and Cancer wants to stay home, they'll need to find more common ground. If Cancer can indulge Aquarius a bit more socially, and if Aquarius can pass up a social outing, they could do well together.
  • Cancer with Pisces - Few will ever be able to see inside this very secretive, loving union and that's just fine by the Pisces and Cancer couple. Cancer's sensitivity is what Pisces has longed for and Cancer loves to get lost in those sensitive, hypnotic eyes. Each usually knows what the other is thinking usually without saying a word – a look, or a bit of body language will usually tell them a whole story.

Factors in Comparing a Couple's Astrological Signs

If a Cancer and Aquarius match seems doubtful, keep in mind that the Aquarius person may also have three Pisces planets within the birth chart, thereby contributing to a better overall compatibility rating. Therefore, it's important to remember that entire birth charts must be examined and compared when determining if a couple is likely to be compatible based on astrology.
