At all times, the union between representatives of the fire and water elements seemed simply impossible. The outcome of such a pair, it would seem, is predictable: either the fire will evaporate the water, or the water will put out the fire. However, everything is far from being so simple. Each sign has a number of unique qualities that distinguish it from other signs of this element. And not necessarily these qualities should be incompatible with the characters of the opposite elements. So, Cancers, representatives of the elements of water, are characterized by excessive emotionality, are prone to a developed sense of empathy and most often live based only on their feelings. While Sagittarians stick to common sense and logic.
Cancerians are emotionally unstable by nature. They are more than all other signs prone to sudden changes in mood or way of thinking. Cancers can be called the slowest of all the signs of the zodiac, especially in relation to physical activity. The representative of this sign are conservatives, family values play a major role in their lives. An equally important part of Cancer life is their home, where they try to spend as much time as possible. However, at the same time, Cancers are notorious for their jealousy and desire to control their partner.
These relationships have a special atmosphere, since Cancers are very sensual natures, and Sagittarius are extremely straightforward. And this straightforwardness is very impressive to the representatives of the water element, because they are not afraid of tricks from Sagittarius. And Sagittarius also believes that Cancers are special, therefore, he wants to further develop relations between them.
Unlike Cancers, Sagittarians are active, sports are far from the last place in their lives. Such people are active, their life is a constant movement. These are philosophers who seek the meaning of life and tirelessly pursue noble goals. In addition, Sagittarians highly value freedom. This is both freedom of movement (travel or change of residence), and freedom in personal life. Unlike all the same Cancers, striving to create a family, Sagittarians prefer to remain single as long as possible and are especially attentive to a potential spouse.
couple compatibility in love
The relationship of such a pair can be called contradictory, however, the characters of the partners complement each other. A calm and balanced Cancer man will restrain the impulses of an energetic Sagittarius adventurer, and the latter, in turn, will motivate her lover to do various things. It is not so difficult to win the heart of an amorous Cancer, and it will not be difficult at all for the universal favorite and beauty Sagittarius. The relationship of such a couple will begin rapidly, most likely due to the fact that the fiery heartbreaker will be fascinated by the modest and romantic Cancer, and he will not be able to look away from such unearthly beauty.
However, the relationship of this couple will be far from ideal. Active Sagittarius will not have enough rare walks and even more rare joint outings with passive Cancer, so the fiery beauty will seek adventure on her own. Such impulses will often kindle fires in the soul of a jealous partner, which will often result in scandals and showdowns.
The temperamental Sagittarius will miss the range of feelings that the restrained Cancer is ready to provide her. The latter often withdraws into himself and likes to close himself off from everyone, building a wall around himself that protects him from all negativity. The representative of the fire element will absolutely not like such hide and seek in a crustacean shell, and all because it is very important for any fire sign to see the manifestation of feelings in his direction. And the crayfish feelings may well be offended by the straightforwardness and excessive honesty of his beloved. Sometimes such a “truth” will seem to sensitive Cancer as real attacks in his direction and an attempt to offend him.
Yes, they are waiting for a difficult grinding of characters: a war between fire and water. And, interestingly, Sagittarius will most likely be the loser, because he does not know how to cheat and manipulate, as Cancer masterfully does. However, the Cancers themselves will also have a hard time: after all, the Sagittarius woman “cuts the truth-womb” right in the face and can easily hurt with a sharp word. Of course, no astrologer will take the responsibility to say that such a couple has no future, because the success of the relationship depends on the efforts of both partners.
Married couple compatibility
If the couple managed to find a compromise and build a healthy and happy relationship, then very soon it will result in something more. Following the lead of the most famous family man of the zodiac circle, the freedom-loving beauty will take this step and part with her “bachelor” life. The marriage of these signs can be called one of the exemplary. The extravagance of Sagittarius will be able to curb restrained Cancer. That is why financial problems are almost impossible in such a family, despite the inability of Sagittarius to handle money. The love of the Cancer man for the house can result in the construction of a cozy family nest, where more than one generation of the fire-water family will live.
If Cancer is in charge of finances, then the resolution of various kinds of situations and the adoption of important decisions will fall on the fragile female shoulders. The insightful and decisive Sagittarius will easily be able to resolve conflicts and choose the right solution where the naive Cancer cannot figure it out. As in the days of the candy-bouquet period, misunderstandings can arise in marriage. The same excessive directness of the obstinate fiery girl is to blame for everything. Each remark from his wife, a vulnerable water man will take it personally. In addition, the passivity of a man can become a cause for conflict. Having got used to the fact that the proactive spouse does literally everything for her beloved husband, Cancer can finally relax and stop being active, which, of course, will not be to the liking of an active girl. Mutual claims about the growing difference between lifestyles may well lead to frequent quarrels.
Compatibility in bed is limited by the natural difference in characters. Sagittarius loves to do everything brightly and quickly: the passion in her unfolds with incredible force, crushing and splashing out. And a cancer man prefers a long foreplay with hugs and kisses. Representatives of water signs perceive intimacy as empathy for emotions. Therefore, they need a long time to come to compromises in an intimate way. The situation is aggravated by Sagittarians, who are not able to share their emotional experiences in terms of sex. And at first, Cancer does not know that she is uncomfortable. However, after a while, Cancer’s natural empathy takes its toll. The man understands what Sagittarius needs, and she, in turn, is liberated. It is worth noting that it is for this couple that such relationships are characteristic, which are not found in other unions.
However, if a balance is reached and the spouses manage to agree on mutual concessions, the atmosphere in such a family will be extremely positive, and the marriage of such a couple will last for many years. The most important thing is a huge love, which is able to overcome all obstacles.
By the way, these signs will not be able to be friends. After all, Sagittarius loves to travel, and Cancer is a homebody. It is very difficult for them to cross anywhere. He does not like to attend noisy events and clubs, she cannot live without entertainment. He prefers to sit on the seashore in a romantic setting, covered with a blanket. And she – to hang out in a circle of cheerful friends. In general, it’s hard…
Any zodiac couple has its advantages and disadvantages, because no relationship can be called ideal. The fiery-water pair of Sagittarius and Cancer cannot be called typical, the differences in the nature of the elements make themselves felt.
- Partners can teach each other a lot.
- For Sagittarius, a relationship with a sensual water sign can help him better understand all the subtleties of the characters of such people. The straightforward Sagittarius will learn to approach the subtle nature of the water sign, and will not take its coldness personally.
- Cancers, in turn, will be able to adopt some of the qualities of the fire sign, and learn to motivate themselves on their own. Instead of lazy weekends, a water man will train himself to spend his free days to his advantage.
- If everything is in order in the family, Sagittarius will bloom right before our eyes, trying to be the ideal for their Cancer.
- Cancer will become a reliable support for her beauty, literally carrying her in her arms and fulfilling all desires.
- Sagittarians have a wonderful sense of humor, so they will react gently to the coldness of Cancer, turning everything into a joke.
But still, people tend to adopt each other’s bad habits. Therefore, the union has many disadvantages:
- If Cancer has a considerable influence on his companion, she will be in a vulnerable position. An active Sagittarius may begin to give up active pastime and will give preference to rest and laziness, which will affect the life of a fire sign extremely negatively.
- From Sagittarius, Cancer can take on a temper, which, coupled with already sharp mood swings, can completely ruin a person.
- Cancer, having seen enough of his freedom-loving partner, may begin to go on a spree, misunderstanding her motives.
- In order to avenge the attacks of jealousy caused by the free temper of his beloved, Cancer may begin to try to cause jealousy in Sagittarius. Of course, this will end in scandals and quite possibly, a break in relations.
- The main disadvantage of such a relationship is Cancer’s desire to be dominant in a relationship. Often, Cancers become domestic tyrants, believing that they have all the rights to their partner.
- Both signs consider themselves right in any situation, regardless of what happened. Sagittarius will in no case tolerate such behavior, and Cancer will not want to let go of his partner, often resorting to various kinds of manipulations. Such relationships, of course, will end, however, both signs will come out of the situation as losers, having ruffled each other’s nerves.
So, it is impossible to say for sure whether the relationship will be happy. It all depends on how partners are willing to invest in the development of relations and whether they are ready to compromise. The key to a happy relationship is mutual understanding and a willingness to listen and understand your partner.
