When it comes to water signs, the ocean has been used to describe the depth of their emotional capacity. Scorpios are the top layer, Cancers are the middle layer and Pisces are the bottom layer. At the top is where you find the frothy water that runs along the shore. It’s where you see the top of a crashing wave and a limited amount of aquatic life ranging from seaweed to starfish. If you aren’t a surfer, you’re unsure of what the middle and bottom layers hold. Astrology, however, via the ocean diagram, says that Cancers and Pisces are closest together in proximity, approach and sensitivity. Where they differ, they’re able to learn from one another and where they’re the same there’s a level of compassionate understanding. Ready to go deep? Here’s a closer look at Cancer and Pisces compatibility.
What Are Cancers Like?
Born June 21 through July 22 and ruled by the moon, these signs have a luminary quality about them. Not only in how they shine because a Cancer definitely believes in “stepping out,” but in what they’re able to pull out of you whether information or emotion. Cancers see a need for control and look the other way as they tend to be impulsive and roll with the punches or the waves rather. Their power to show and expose, when used for good, can lend itself to results-driven careers. That’s probably (almost) every industry these days, but we’re talking high performance, solid numbers and rewards.
Being of the ocean, shiny things stand out to them whether in the form of jewels or people. They themselves possess everything needed to soar and stand out, but sometimes look to others for that confirmation or permission. However, a Cancer that understands the strength of their power, to move water on earth and in our bodies, looks no further than themselves to affirm their shine. And they’ll affirm yours too; prepare to be gassed up 24/7. Hardworking, loving (in semi-private), and just a solid person at the core, Cancers are self-sufficient like their crab symbols and always on the move.
What Are Pisces Like?
Born February 19 through March 20 and ruled by Neptune, these signs are masters of illusion. Their planet, known for creativity and dreams, breed fantasy in these signs represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions. These mystical beings can manipulate for good and bad; let’s keep it a buck. When using their powers for good, they can motivate the people around them to run faster and dream bigger; including themselves. The depths of their emotions allow them to empathize in a real way, offering an ear to hear and several thoughts for advice (whether you ask or not).
Pisces excel in spaces of expression whether musicians, writers or teachers. They nurture and predict as a means of safety, but also in a semi-witchy way. As leaders, they’re compassionate, sharing a piece of themselves with every party involved. Adventures call their name and, if they like you, they’ll ask you to tag along.
Cancer and Pisces Romantic Compatibility
Majestic and reflective, singularly and in their connections, these signs have the power to drown you. Now, if you don’t mind the experience, then you’re in the right place. Reflection is a part of their romantic compatibility. Old memories passed (or the process of creating new ones) brings joy to this fish and crab. Together, they’ll try new restaurants, go on trips, or veg out on the couch. They won’t stay down long though, as there’s so much to see and do.
There’s a kindredness here that fuels the romance, an acknowledgement of authenticity which goes a long way for both of these signs. A romantic day/night might look like a trip to the boardwalk, a night at the local gallery and/or a yummy dinner at a new/established restaurant with rave reviews. It comes down to thoughtfulness and time spent with this dynamic duo that gets each other instantly; the rest is just icing.
Cancer and Pisces Sexual Compatibility
Dreaminess is amplified in the sexual experience shared by Cancer and Pisces. Freak flags fly for these water signs that believe in pushing the limits. Comfort matters too both personal and joint so get used to checking-in during the act. Laughter is also key as it means the two see one another not only in their attraction and yearning, but as two people in this thing at the moment. It can be easy for these two to latch on rather quickly as the sight of potential can present itself as something shinier than it actually is.
However, these lovers of love can draw lines in the sand quickly and you’ll want to be on the right side. Down for a good time? Great. Honest about that? Even better. Unclear and a mess? Prepare for their wrath (and/or water works). Although in solid connections, these two have a coveted closeness that makes them friends and lovers for today, next month or several years to come.
Cancer and Pisces Friendship Compatibility
As friends, these water signs get each other. They like to spend time in similar ways and feel similarly about pressing issues whether fashion trends or political climates. They’re deeply emotional so they care about the greater good, but also know that we can only pour from full cups. While getting that cup back to a full place can prove difficult from time to time, these signs support one another in that quest. Their word is bond as they appreciate the one that they share with you. Annoyances may occur around time wasted or selfishness as these signs may need to go to extreme lengths for alone time or space to lick their wounds. However, reformed water signs, Cancer and Pisces in particular, are able to communicate their needs, creating an open and loving friendship that makes both of them all the more better for it.
Are Cancers and Pisces Compatible?
Definitely – they’re from the same neighborhood! Expression matters here so feelings are shared. Intuition is refined as a skill so what isn’t shared is felt and brought to the surface anyway. These signs, ruled by the moon and Neptune, get each other in their mysticism and depth. Not everything need a reason, nor does it need to be explained. Their love for one another is understood even if the details need ironing out. True friends and lovers to one another, Cancer and Pisces find in each other what they’ve always wanted from other connections: trust, understanding and minimal judgment (unless it’s deserved and then they’ll just laugh about it).
