The Spice Of Life

Mutable Earth and Cardinal Water
Cancer and Virgo start out on the right foot, since both are reserved, and neither tries to force their love on the other. Their courting may look downright old-fashioned to more restless types, with polite respect shown on both sides. Cancer appreciates how Virgo takes note of personal tastes, and tries to come up with well-chosen date ideas. Virgo feels needed right away, seeing how much Cancer could use help in practical matters. Virgo might try to "organize" Cancer from the get-go, which is a definite sign of interest. Cancer will appreciate being the center of this kind of attention unless it goes to far.

This mating brings two worriers together, but as a team they can cover all the bases. They'll be comforted by all the planning that goes into dates, and later, the pre-planning of everything helps minimize the shared fear of the unknown. A key word is Security, since once they've got it, Cancer and Virgo can truly be themselves. If they're successful at creating a foundation of trust, the relationship deepens, and more layers are revealed. Cancer and Virgo appreciate the routine of life, with the promise of lots of time to work out the kinks, and grow closer.

Virgo is a senser-thinker and Cancer is a feeler, and sometimes this can lead to misunderstandings. Without realizing it, Virgo can offend Cancer by talking about things in an unemotional way. On the flip side, Virgo may find the lunar moodiness a bit jarring to their love of order. This difference turns into a gift when through osmosis, Cancer gains much-needed perspective, and Virgo grows aware of emotional nuances.

In relationships, the Cancer-Virgo match can be loving, sensual and devoted. Cancer values the loyalty that Virgo offers, and tries hard to show it through day to day nurturing. Virgo starts to feel secure in the caring atmosphere that's created between them. Intimacy can be yet another chance to please each other, with Virgo's masterful attention to detail and Cancer's languid sensuality. This pairing is marriage material, and once the commitment is made, will likely be for life.
