Compatibility in percentages
Cancer and Leo in love
These signs stand side by side on the wheel yet see the world very differently. One begins where the other ends, so at first each can seem strange to the other. This pair bonds slowly but learns a great deal: each gives the other exactly what they lack.
Water and Fire
Fire and water attract each other strongly and unsettle each other just as strongly. Fire is direct and fast; water is sensitive and careful. If fire learns tenderness and water learns to say its feelings out loud, this bond turns into deep passion.
Rhythm and temperament
The cardinal sign starts, the fixed sign sees it through. A good team, as long as the first doesn't rush the second and the second doesn't resist every change.
Cancer in love
Cancer is tender, caring and very sensitive in love. What matters most is the feeling of home and emotional safety. It needs a partner who takes its feelings seriously and answers warmth with warmth.
Leo in love
Leo is generous, warm and loyal in love. It loves attention, admiration and grand gestures, and gives just as generously. It needs a partner who is proud of it and never wounds its dignity.
Advice for this couple
Give it time: what seems strange at the first meeting often turns out to be the most precious part.
This is the general picture for Sun signs. Two people's real compatibility also depends on the Moon, Venus, Mars and the Ascendant: an exact answer comes from comparing two full birth charts.
