Cancer and Aquarius

Five signs apart, 150° (a quincunx): the aspect of adjustment. You have almost nothing in common, so the attraction is often strange and fascinating, and it asks for constant small adjustments.

The elements

Water and air are unlike elements: in the old language one is active and the other receptive. This is no verdict against you, but you will have to learn each other’s language, because what feels natural to one can feel foreign to the other.

In love

In love, Cancer is tender, protective and deeply attached; it needs security, family and a partner who makes a home with it.

In love, Aquarius needs friendship, freedom and an original partner; it loves the mind first and fears being possessed.

Counsel

Do not let old hurts close the shell; feel, then let go.

Let your heart be as open as your mind.

Correspondences

♋︎ Cancer
Water, cardinal · tenderness, memory and a fierce instinct to protect
♒︎ Aquarius
Air, fixed · independence, originality and loyalty to the future

What this comparison can and cannot say

This compares only the Sun signs, as the old almanacs did. A real comparison of two people, called synastry, reads both whole charts: the Moon, Venus, Mars and the Ascendant often matter more than the Sun. Read this as a first sketch, not a verdict.
