Love feels at home in the sign of Cancer. This water sign believes in real, fairytale loves above all else, so there’s also a lot of heartbreak when they realize that not everyone prioritizes relationships like they do.
However, when it comes to love, there are a few signs that are marriage material for the big hearted Cancer!
Take out your and your loved one’s astrology charts and pay attention to the signs Venus and Mars, as these are the planets that dictate love and attraction respectively.

If your Venus and Mars placements match up well, you should definitely text your crush after reading this article!
Cancer and Aries
Cancer and Aries compatibility initially feels like the spark of a bonfire. Passion can arise quickly and race through both of your hearts like wildfire, but like any fire, there is a chance that you will get burned. Aries and Cancer have a lot of love, but while Cancer was made to weather the storm, Aries was born to run, so this can sometimes turn into a maddening cat-and-mouse chase.
Cancer and Taurus
Cancer and Taurus are much compatible with each other. They both like to be cozy and comfortable in love, so it’s easy to find common ground and make the other person happy. When it comes to long-lasting love, this couple has what it takes, but it takes a little romantic touch to take these two from BFFLs to ’till death do us part.
Cancer and Gemini
When it comes to love, Cancer and Gemini want different things. Where Cancer is sweet and caring, Gemini is excitable and witty, making this couple a bit of an odd couple. The deep sensitivity of the water sign Cancer may not always be able to handle the jokes and (loving) jabs that Gemini throws their way. However, you can’t write this couple off completely, it just takes good communication and finding common ground.
Cancer and cancer
You might think that Cancer and Cancer would be a good match… and you wouldn’t be wrong! Cancer likes to feel safe and seen by others and who better to provide that than another Cancer? It’s important that they practice sharing their feelings, otherwise an unbearable amount of passive-aggressive resentment could end up building between the two.
Cancer and Leo
One thing that Cancer and Leo have in common is their enormous propensity for love. Love may be the most important thing in the lives of both Cancer and Leo, but what makes this match particularly good is the way they balance each other out. Leo helps bring Cancer out of his crab shell and Cancer helps Leo slow down and appreciate the little things in life.
Cancer and Virgo
By all accounts, Cancer and Virgo are very compatible, but in all the ways this relationship can go well, there are corresponding forces pulling them apart. Both Cancer and Virgo are introspective and emotionally intelligent – sometimes to a fault. These two can bring out worries and fears in each other, which can lead to a general fear of going outside their comfort zone. As long as they can both keep their feet on the ground, this is a good love match.
Cancer and Libra
Cancer and Libra are two adorable lovebirds, as long as Cancer doesn’t get too jealous. Libra is a Venus-ruled sign, so love and dating come naturally to them, which fits nicely with Cancer’s tender romantic heart. However, because Libra is an air sign, he can be quite flirtatious by nature, even when he doesn’t mean to, which can make Cancer feel like he’s being given less priority in the relationship than he would like.
Cancer and Scorpio
Cancer and Scorpio are a love match as old as time. Cancer is drawn so deeply into the cool, dark depths of a Scorpio partner… for better or for worse. Cancer will brighten Scorpio’s world for a long time to come, and Scorpio will be drawn to the deep wells of love that Cancer can provide. With all the feelings going on between this couple, be careful with a Romeo and Juliet situation (stay away from the priests and drinks).
Cancer and Sagittarius
This is a difficult combination for friendship, let alone a lifelong love match. Sagittarius is blunt, honest, and easily excitable, which can make Cancer want to retreat into their crab shells, as this water sign will read everything. So if you’re around someone who tends to say or do whatever they want (without too much thought), this couple will find themselves in rough waters romantically.
Cancer and Capricorn
Listen to me, Capricorn offers the kind of intense love they crave from their Scorpio partners. The problem with Cancer and Capricorn compatibility is that Cancer needs to be patient because Capricorn has a lot of walls around his heart. But once those walls are down, there is a sweet, dark, sensitive, sensual partner underneath who also dreams of love that will last a lifetime. All in all, it’s a match made in Heaven!
Cancer and Aquarius
There is certainly an initial attraction to Aquarius from Cancer. Aquarius is interesting, unique and a bit mysterious. Cancer will be attracted to their aloofness with the belief that their love can tear down the walls Aquarius has put up. However, Cancer can become frustrated by their Aquarius partner’s lack of emotional depth because they need warm, life-giving love and this air sign is not naturally open-hearted when it comes to love.
Cancer and Pisces
Both Cancer and Pisces are true, blue romantics at heart, ready and willing to dive into the deep depths of love when the feeling strikes. For that reason, they will likely start quickly and rush into a relationship, but if they can’t find anything to anchor their relationship to earth, their love boat could sink! Cancer and Pisces are very compatible, they just need to make sure they set good boundaries and have clear communication to move forward.
