The Relationship between Cancer and Sagittarius

So here we have the Crab, hard as a rock on the outside, soft and gentle on the inside. And very, very sensitive. A keen eye for every shade of meaning, every nuance of a remark. And unusually vulnerable.

And here we have the Archer, cheerful and warm-hearted, basically kind, but sometimes brutally honest.

And all this seasoned with a pinch of tact (or even half of it).

What happens when the hypersensitive, cautious Cancer meets the carefree, unpredictable Sagittarius, whose destiny is to release arrows of truth that sting even against his wishes?

This, in essence, depends on the phase of the Moon, since it rules Cancers, and on its changeable vibrations.

So people of this sign will react to the "blows and arrows of cruel fortune" and the remarks of Sagittarius in different ways.

Irritably, by retreating or by pinching (and Crabs have sharp claws).

Or by hiding under the hard crab shell, in order to experience everything over and over again.

Or by remaining in place, deeply offended and with a trembling tear on their eyelashes.

A Crab, plunged into black melancholy because of a careless person who has treated his feelings so heartlessly, is one of the saddest spectacles in the world.

The sight of this sweet, sensitive creature brought to tears is soul-changing.

Even when he bravely tries to hide his hurt, his chin trembles piteously, and his eyes look at you with such reproach that it seems as if you are crying yourself.

This is what the Archer often feels when he has just realized that he has inadvertently said or done something that has caused his friend, partner, relative, lover, or spouse to feel the terrible "lunar" torment of rejection.

Immediately repenting, the Archer will try to heal the wound he himself has inflicted with "soothing speech."

Something like: "Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you when I said you were stupid. Don't cry.

You're not really a giant of thought, and in general, intelligence is far from the most important thing.

Well, have you calmed down now?"

Although it may seem strange, often sensitive Cancers eventually realize that it is impossible to explain their tactlessness to Sagittarius.

Then they find it all funny, and they start laughing hysterically.

In fact, close relationships with a person of this sign are even beneficial for Cancer.

At first, they may be painful, but eventually, the Crab will come to the conclusion that it is not worth being so sensitive.

Since everything in the world is relative, another advantage will be that after spending time with a Sagittarius, the occasional careless remark from someone else will seem like a compliment to the Crab, and life will become a little more pleasant as a result.

It's as if you were crying from a toothache and suddenly broke your leg. Of course, you completely forget about the toothache.

Or as if you were complaining about a bee sting and then the Archer came along to hit you over the head with a verbal baseball bat.

The only thing left to do is to graciously thank him for teaching you to stop whining about bee stings forever.

A couple of stitches - and your head or self-confidence will be like new again.

Here Sagittarius will agree quite a bit, considering these observations very logical and very philosophical.

Someone may even say: "That's right! Every cloud has a silver lining!"

Sagittarius, like Libra, loves this motto of optimists.

Of course, it is difficult to consider Jupiter's arrow, which hit your Achilles heel, as good. But the fact that Sagittarius are optimists is undeniable.

Sometimes the sensitivity and compassion of Cancer together with the direct sincerity of Sagittarius give a favorable combination of qualities - for example, very clear thinking. This can manifest itself both in relationships between people of these signs, and in one person whose Sun sign is, for example, Cancer, and the Moon or Ascendant is in the constellation Sagittarius.

The Crab and the Sagittarius may sometimes clash over money, which always burns a hole in the pockets of the Sagittarius. This rarely happens with the pockets of the Cancer, rather they will burst from the weight, because Cancers simply love to save money in large quantities and keep it as close to themselves as possible.

They will have clashes over finances, but they will try to find a common language or at least want to do so.

From an astrological point of view, it would be most useful if Cancer, in a motherly (or fatherly) way, patched up the burnt pockets of the Sagittarius, gently teaching him restraint, and Sagittarius did not let the pockets of the Cancer burst, unobtrusively offering to spend some of his money together. Sagittariuses are terribly lucky in various games of chance, even in such as the stock exchange, the biggest game of chance of all. This has a double benefit: it will teach Cancer to be more generous, and it will also make him very happy when he gradually realizes that the Sagittarius, if not always, can still double his money in an unexpected way.

Of course, anyone can lose, but Jupiter treats typical Sagittariuses too well to allow them to lose big too often. If this does happen, the Crab must refrain from discontent, irritation and grumbling, otherwise the Sagittarius will simply leave, leaving Cancer in tears, making a few remarks about stinginess and refusing to do favors in the future, since they are not appreciated.

Cancer, whether male or female, will clearly be a subtle leader of this union, because Cancer is a Cardinal sign, and Sagittarius is a Mobile one.

The first makes a person secretly claim the place of the main one and openly refuse to follow the orders of others. Some difficulties may arise here: although Sagittarius is not very interested in the role of a leader and is more satisfied if he is mobile, free and full of new ideas, he does not really like to be ordered around. The human half of the Centaur may be able to take this philosophically, but the horse half will kick with all its might.

Sagittarius is one of the double Sun signs, half horse, half human.

And one part of it is quite reasonable, often highly educated and optimistically philosophical, and the other part is stubborn, unyielding and unpredictable... and amazingly quick when it is necessary to run away from problems.

And also capable of kicking when something threatens its freedom.

Crabs really cannot do anything with their innate possessiveness, except to use it wisely, turning it into a virtue. But when they surround Sagittarius with their caring protection, caution is needed here, because Archers need a lot of freedom to remain themselves.

If Cancer succeeds in this and does not interfere with the free manifestations of the Sagittarius personality, and the Archer sometimes thinks before opening his mouth and smashing the tender feelings of the Crab with merciless observations, these two will be able to spend a good time together.

Over time, Sagittarius will be glad to be useful to Cancer sometimes, because Archers feel some kind of mystery in "lunar" people, which is inaccessible to them.

With all the curiosity inherent in the sign of Sagittarius, something always keeps the Archer on the edge of mystery, and, perhaps, he even likes to watch with fascination the ebb and flow of the tides under the full moon. But there are periods when the Centaur becomes restless, and he needs to gallop alone, racing with the wind - and this enchants Cancer.

Endowed with the benevolent humor of Jupiter, the Archer loves to play pranks on people, but the Crab may sometimes not appreciate the jokes. Then the Archer will gently nudge him with his elbow, and the Crab will finally laugh. And it's not just a joke. It's just that Cancer is deeply touched by the idealism and naivety, courage and optimism of the Sagittarius, who clumsily falls, then rises with a smile, to try to win again.

When he manages to win, the happy and generous Archer will probably immediately give half of the winnings to the Cancer, filling his pockets with childish delight.

Perhaps the Sagittarius will be able to teach the Crab the wonderful joys of giving, cheerfully revealing to him, timid and fearful, his truths.
