Cancer and Aquarius?

What do you guys think of this combination base on your experience?
and what do you like/hate about them? how long did the relationship last? :3

This is a pairing that can either go horribly wrong or horribly right.

The goods:
1. They balance each other out. Cancer teaches Aquarius that it's OK to use emotion, while Aquarius teaches Cancer how to function primarily using logic. Both are valuable

2. Cancer's loyalty, down to earth personality & affectionate ways draws Aquarius out of their shell a lot more quickly than a sign who is more aloof in this area. Aquarius tends to have stronger relationships though with more aloof signs b/c they often trust more the relationships that moved slowly moreso than fast-paced. Aquarius is not obsessed with the idea that 2 people fell in love the same day they met like some other more mushier people/signs

The bad:
1. The 2 things they have in common is stubborness & a heavy resistance/sensitivity to criticism. B/c this pairing will have more tough work to get through than other pairings, the likelihood that both people will openly allow the other to be inspired to change to make the relationship work is a lot lower.

Both Aquarius & Cancer guard fiercly who they are & are adamant about not changing. Problem is, when there's time for a change or when it's time for 1 person to learn from the other in a way that puts them outside of their comfort zone, both signs are intensely stubborn, which only allows more room and opportunity for both to feel misunderstood

2. Aquarius is not nearly as sensitive or emotional as Cancer & will often feel that the Cancer needs to suck it up & stop being so whiny. When they perceive a certain trait as weakness, it's very hard for them to respect it, therefore it's very hard for them to accept that & learn to work with it

However Cancer sometimes feel that Aquarius is too damn logical & not emotional enough, which is just as annoying & hard to deal with too.

It will take A LOT of work b/c this pairing is basically OIL & WATER but it CAN work! It'll probably best work if both people were friends for a long time 1st. The chances of them coming into it with an automatic/natural understanding of each other will only help in the long run

I've always had a good working relationship with Aquas, and even friendships. And its true there is a lot they learn from each other.
Going across that line, for me its unexplored territory.

too emotional kinda creepy for me too.. i will go with the logical one xD
and I'm not as emotional as my sign tells me,
but i do feel what is needed to be felt and appreciated, if you get what I'm trying to say? xD
i have 4 air signs in my natal chart though, i guess

It's always better if a Cancer has fire or air somewhere in the chart. That way they can at least relate somewhat to signs that tick/work the complete opposite

Same vice versa. An Aquarian is much easier to deal with & understand if they have earth placements somewhere in their chart. I think the only reason I'm so balanced (emotionally & logically) is b/c my Sun is in Aquarius, moon in Cancer & Rising in Pisces.

I am the perfect balance b/w emotional when it's time to be & logical when it's time to be. I can only imagine how aloof I'd be though if I had all fire/air elements in my chart...I'd be a nightmare to deal with lol

lololol!!! xDDDD

I've only had a friendship with a cancer. The cancer I knew taught me how to be part of a group of friends that are like a family. I showed loyalty to him and picked him up whenever he was down or a drunk mess xD

I know two married couples of this combo...my own sis and close family friend..they are in the early years of marriage..2 yrs..i think they can be soulmates if there is genuine love or it may not work out..similar what krysenee mentioned. and one thing about cancer guys i hate...they have no bloody spine!! and im somehow not able to respect such people.

what do you mean by they have no spine? :/

Probably that they are physically weak, or won't stand up for themselves, would rather run and hide then stay and fight. Mommas boys.

I think that Cancers and Aquas can work but, there is a trade off. Both parties have to know their role. The Cancer's role is to the home and hearth thing and the Aqua has to provide the excitement. I think these relationships are best when the couple is older.

I can't see that a cancer would understand the need for space that aqua will require.
I can't see that an aqua could understand the constant reassurances a cancer requires.

i had a LDR with a cancer guy - lasted a month - after 2 weeks being in this LDR with him I felt somehow depressed because I was drying out mentally. we both just didn't match well. he was mr perfect with everything but he didn't have any edges, or I should say they weren't obvious to me lol. he would say yes and amen to everything I say, he didn't show any sign of being manly. it frustrated me and it bored me in no time.

he is a really nice guy but he couldn't stimulate me mentally or emotionally - I felt like I was 40 in my head!!! too old for my actual age - not good.

I'm not an aqua, but I only lasted one month with a cancer guy. He was way too clingy and pouty when he didn't get his way. Drove me nuts wanting constant reassurance.

My cancer friends are like that. Always whining and pouting about something. I'm just a friend, and they are super clingy with me. If I don't speak to them for a week, I get an earful.

My best friend boyfriend is a Cancer and we hit it off from the start, we get each other.
