Sagittarius/Cancer

Sun Sign Compatibility  

These two Sun signs enjoy each other's company at first. Sagittarius loves to talk and Cancer loves to listen, but not visa versa. These two will have to grow as individuals first before pursuing a relationship together.

The dating life may be one filled with romance from the Cancer to the Sagittarius, but there may not be enough emotions or vulnerability shared. This relationship is best pursued slowly and easily so they can take the time to get to know each other. Sagittarius may need to become more responsible in order for Cancer to fully accept them as a potential partner.

Modality Compatibility  

Sagittarius' mutable energy works with Cancer's cardinal energy at first, but dissipates over time. Even though Sagittarius is very flexible, they tend to lose interest in Cancer's traditional mindset over time as it collides with their needs to be free and reckless. These two will benefit from taking things at a slower pace and focusing on building the foundation of friendship first. Sagittarius' friends and family may feel Cancer is a good influence, but too needy for them.

Element Compatibility ​ 

This Fire sign and Water sign lose energy over time. Sagittarius' impulsive nature attracts Cancer at first, but Cancer's cautious demeanor and need for grounding in reality repels Sagittarius. There is a push-pull here where Sagittarius yearns to be free, but knows that some grounding would do them some good. Sagittarius also sees the positive effect they have on Cancer who can be a bit too restrained.

Energetic Strengths ​ 

Romance and devotion could be the strength of the relationship, if Sagittarius desire's to have a relationship with Cancer. Sagittarius would need to lean into their kindness and generosity constantly to help build a secure foundation for the Cancer to thrive in. Allowing the relationship to evolve slowly over time will help create a solid connection and lead to better acceptance of each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Energetic Challenges ​ 

Their challenges will be directly related to communication. Sagittarius' tendency to overshare and be too blunt doesn't work well with Cancer's tendencies to internalize and not express feelings. They will need to learn how to communicate in a healthy manner for it to work. Healthy boundaries and vulnerability will be key.
