Sun Sign Compatibility  

Affection and passion may be expressed differently between these two, but it will be a daily part of their relationship. Both people will focus a great amount of devotion to their family, but in very different ways. Lucky for Leo, Cancer loves to listen and will be happy letting Leo take the lead in social settings.

The attraction between these two is clear from the beginning and Leo has a deep appreciation for Cancer's nurturing ways. Leo will find Cancer's presence healing and romantic. Dating will be traditional in nature, but in extravagant settings that Leo will enjoy.

Modality Compatibility  

Whereas the Leo may resist any upcoming change, the Cancer will help the Leo to see the change as an opportunity to affect the world around them. If these two were to become parents, their parenting styles would be comparable. Leo makes a great leading disciplinarian and Cancer is the perfect nurturer. Any children will feel loved and adored.

Element Compatibility ​ 

Whereas water and fire normally do not match, it is a different case for the Leo and Cancer match. They are both so loyal, that their loyalty will help them to step aside and be open to their partner's way of approaching life. Leo's larger than life presence will make room for the quiet Cancer. Home life will be intimate, yet still catering to the needs of the social Leo.

Energetic Strengths ​ 

Leos and Cancers will meet in a space of loyalty and creativity. Leo's generous nature and natural open heartedness will be a welcome environment for Cancer. These two can create a yin and yang dynamic that is more traditional in nature. Love is a strong possibility, if these two are willing to be in set roles.

Energetic Challenges ​ 

Leos will likely be unaware of any hurt that they cause the Cancer and the Cancer will never speak up about it. Issues will be buried deeper and deeper until they become an insurmountable mountain to climb. The best way to overcome these challenges is to seek perspective from a therapist, counselor, or psychic intuitive so they can learn how to actively listen and healthily communicate with one another.

How to Create Astrological Balance​ 

This is a match that will take some conscious effort. It will not be a natural match, such as Leo and an Aries, nor as combative as a Leo and a Virgo. They have the ability to learn from each other, if only they will talk about their feelings. Achieving balance will be possible as long as the Cancer learns to express their feelings and not internalize them.
