Sun Sign Compatibility 

An Aquarian has no value for rules, whereas the Cancer will want to ensure that no rules are broken. This can make for a challenging match in a relationship, but great fun as a friendship. Being emotionally detached, the Aquarian will not always know how to comfort the Cancer in the manner in which they need it. They both will focus on trying to please each other in different aspects of the relationship.

If these two share a child(ren) together, there will be constant conflict on how they should be raised and what role each parent takes in the children's life. Learning how to navigate these conflicts will be paramount in raising healthy, well-adjusted kids into adulthood.

Modality Compatibility  

Although the Aquarian will be resistant to unexpected change, the Cancer has the ability to show the necessity of the change in a light in which the Aquarian will be less likely to resist. This may not be an easy task for the Cancer, but they will need to utilize their dynamic energy to pull them both together for the long haul. Learning how to understand each other's dynamics will prove to ease tensions in this relationship.

Element Compatibility ​ 

Intellectual, emotionally detached, and communicative, the Aquarian will not always understand the raw emotional, intuitive, and internal approach that the Cancer will take when trying to problem solve. There will often be an atmosphere of disconnect where each other struggles to understand the other's peculiarities. Psychic guidance or having a third party perspective may help enlighten each other to grow towards one another instead of pulling away from each other.

Energetic Strengths ​ 

As the Aquarius continually changes their perspective, the Cancer will enjoy persuading them to join their viewpoint. The Aquarian loves to solve problems, even when the issues are not theirs to solve, which will be appreciated by the Cancer who just wants everything to be okay. Making the home harmonious may help to ease tensions. Using color themes of blue, silver, and white will bring together these two opposing signs to create peace within the environment.

Energetic Challenges​ 

The Aquarian who will pause to look at the bigger picture from an intellectual perspective will often clash with the Cancer who in the first few moments has already judged what needs to be done and will have a difficult time communicating what they feel. Working together to resolve these challenges may mean spending more time together playing party games with other couples or taking a vacation that requires them to do personal growth as a couple.

How to Create Astrological Balance ​ 

This is a partnership that will challenge each partner to grow, but will take some work to create longevity. Both partners have the desire to care for others, but their approach on how to accomplish that is quite different. If they can come together to create relationship ground rules that work for each person, they can be successful. However, if they are not clear on what each person needs, the relationship will cycle through conflict, disconnection, and then likely the Cancer will walk away.
