Sun Sign Compatibility 

These two Sun signs are opposite in all the wrong ways to create a successful life long romantic relationship. Cancer's need for tradition and familial desires quickly aggravate the non-committal Gemini, who enjoys being restless. Stability rarely happens between these two.

There is an opportunity for them to learn about platonic love and the value of true friendship with this union. Because each of them comes with their own ideas of what makes a better relationship, they can learn from that and take that lesson into their next romantic relationship with someone else. Love and acceptance, of each other and of themselves, is the takeaway from these two having known each other.

Modality Compatibility  

Cancer's cardinal energy pushes against Gemini's mutable energy. Gemini's flexibility is too much for Cancer to handle. This is where Cancer's emotional inconsistencies hit against Gemini's restless and freedom-loving nature. These two tend to trigger each other and bring out the worst in each other from time to time. Learning emotional regulation will help them get along more smoothly.

Element Compatibility ​ 

This Water and Air sign won't fly well together. Whereas Cancer wishes to have fluidity and stability in the relationship, Gemini's intellect is too detached to see it. Each wants something different in life. They may do well in spending time going out together in a group setting where they can interact with other people and not just each other. This will help Cancer see the Gemini for the social butterfly that they are and make it more visible how different they truly are.

Energetic Strengths ​ 

The strength in this relationship is imagination. They each can inspire the other with how they view the world, especially in an artistic sensibility. If they are open to new ideas and sharing that with one another, there is potential. Learning how to appreciate each other is key to making the relationship work on any level.

Energetic Challenges ​ 

With Cancer's critical judgment rubbing against Gemini's tendencies to overthink and be afraid to commit, these two have too much to overcome. They would each need to learn how to appreciate each other's time away from one another to create a successful relationship. Going on separate vacations or nights out with their separate friends will help ease tension.

How to Create Astrological Balance​ 

When it comes to a romantic relationship between these two, it is a definite no-go. Each other's emotional needs and values will not be met and conflict will be rife. The two, however, may be best suited for friendship where they can learn from each other and see other ways of being, if willing. This relationship may not be romantic in nature, but has the potential to teach each person how to love unconditionally.
