Cancer and Sagittarius

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 fire 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, Sagittarius needs freedom, adventure and a partner who shares its ideals; honesty above all.

Counsel

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

Keep your promises as faithfully as you chase your dreams.

Correspondences

♋︎ Cancer
Water, cardinal · tenderness, memory and a fierce instinct to protect
♐︎ Sagittarius
Fire, mutable · freedom, faith and a thirst for distant horizons

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.
