Sun Sign Compatibility  

These two Sun signs have high hopes of developing a long term relationship together. What they end up finding is lessons on love and life as the two want these things in different ways. Love and conflict is the central element of this union.

As friends, there is room for longevity and soul growth. Libra's listening skills can make the Cancer more likely to speak the truth they so often hide from others. When this connection has a positive vibe, there can be growth but is unlikely to result in a romantic relationship.

Modality Compatibility 

The cardinal energy between them creates an imbalance that challenges their relationship. Each wishes to change the other and a lack of acceptance creates an emotional disconnect. They will need to learn how to argue productively and pick and choose battles that are of importance and to let go of the smaller things. Friends and family may also create tension in this connection.

Element Compatibility ​ 

This Air sign and Water sign don't mix well together. Libra's fair-mindedness doesn't always sit well with the perceptive Cancer. Libra will enjoy Cancer's hopeless romanticism at first, but will become rather listless and surprisingly lose optimism from Cancer's constant pessimism. These two are unable to inspire each other to see the other person's point of view.

Energetic Strengths ​ 

The strength in this relationship is sympathy and compromise. If each is able to lean into these two ideals, they may have a chance at making the relationship work. They will need to learn how to get out of each other's way and see the other person's value instead of seeing their faults and what they lack. Learning to listen to their own intuition and not outside opinions will help strengthen any fondness for each other.

Energetic Challenges ​ 

The challenge in this relationship is frustration and internalization of feelings. These two signs are too willing to compromise so they lack the willingness to be vulnerable with each other and honest with themselves to make it work. Outside forces will also be at play and encourage them to end the relationship for the better. Having a strong sense of self and what they want from life will be key in overcoming this.

How to Create Astrological Balance​ 

When working on a romantic relationship, these two aren't very compatible. Although they both want a harmonious connection, they are unlikely to get that through each other due to each other's over willingness to compromise and make the other happy. These two are better off as friends instead of a couple.
