Cancer & Libra Marriage & Intimacy Compatibility

by Astro Ved Online Astrology Consultation

Cancer and Libra may not look like an enduring couple. Cancer is shy and focused on home and security. Libra is a charming and flirtatious social butterfly who likes to be surrounded by people. They are very indecisive and tend to fall in and out of love several times. But the relationship between them can be deep at times. Libra will be attracted to Cancer’s calm presence attracts Libra while Libra’s fun-loving personality attracts Cancer. Both are romantics who seek long-term partnerships, and they’re also cardinal signs.

Both these signs may lack passion and initiative when it comes to sex. But Cancer finds Libra’s tactful and pleasant nature soothing. This is due to the fact that Saturn, which rules Cancer’s opposite sign, is exalted in Libra.

Cancer seeks emotional connection, while Libra desires physical contact before they get too emotional. Libra may not fall in love with Cancer at first sight. But if they are on the rebound after a breakup, they may be attracted to Cancer’s loving and caring approach and decide to take a chance on the relationship. If their love affair develops from friendship, it can actually boost their sex life as they may already share deep emotions.

Trust

Cancer does not trust easily, but once they trust someone, their trust is deep. But, while Cancer prefers to have a quiet family life, Libra seeks the company of other people as well as their love and approval. Both are needy, but in different ways. At some point, Cancer might wonder if Libra is as invested in the relationship as they are. Libra, on the other hand, may feel rather suffocated by Cancer’s possessiveness. And the more Cancer sulks and pouts in silence, the more excuses Libra will find to keep away from them. If Cancer can understand Libra’s need for social ties and if Libra can do what it takes to make Cancer feel emotionally secure, such trust issues may vanish eventually.

Communication

Their communication may not be problematic unless Cancer turns moody once too often on Libra. Libra, being an Air sign, may find Cancer’s moods a bit hard to handle, and they will be out of their depth at times. Libra has a tendency to make promises that they have no intention of keeping. It is more out of a desire to please than to hurt. But this could offend Cancer terribly and erode their trust. If Libra can learn to interpret Cancer’s silences and Cancer can read between the lines when Libra talks, they may be able to understand each other better. Libra prefers a partner with fire and passion. These may be lacking in Cancer. They tend to have good relationships with fire signs in general, as they complement each other.

Emotions

As the Moon and Venus represent emotions, these two signs, which are ruled by these entities, are very emotional. But the emotional contexts may differ. Cancer looks for a down-to-earth love, while Libra wants an ethereal and otherworldly love. But Cancer may want a more grounded partner who can deal with the nitty-gritties of life.

Both are signs of relationships – family relationships in the case of Cancer and relationships with partners in Libra’s case. So they value joyful connections, and if they find it with each other, they will not easily let it go.

Values

Peace and harmony in relationships are very important for Libra. But Cancer’s passive-aggressive behavior and silences may frustrate Libra. If Libra allows Cancer to wallow in their feelings, they will appreciate it. Cancer does not feel the need to talk about everything, but Libra feels it is the only way to resolve things. As both signs do not lack patience, they will be able to work things out. For Cancer, home and security, financial and emotional, are paramount. They always put their family’s needs first. Libra may not be family-oriented to the same extent. This could, at times, create tussles between them. But both value relationships, so they will fight for their relationship if things get tough.

Shared Activities

Cancer is a homebody, while Libra is a party animal. But Libra also likes a beautiful home, and this is where their interests may merge. One of their favorite shared activities would be to create a lovely home. While Cancer will focus on making it cozy, Libra will focus on making it elegant. Both will love shopping for things they want for their dream home. They also share a love for children, so taking care of children and their needs is something they will enjoy doing together.

Summary

What they both expect from each other will be the biggest issue between Cancer and Libra. Cancer wants someone to take responsibility and also bring some practicality to balance their emotional nature. Libra wants someone who is strong, energetic, and good at taking the initiative. If such expectations are not met early on, the relationship can fizzle out. If Libra can cut down on their socializing, and Cancer can rein in their moods, they can have a pretty good relationship, despite their differences.

On a scale of 1-10, the marriage compatibility of Cancer and Libra would be 6/10.
