The combination of these two Signs have some things in common, but rarely enough to outweigh the differences and neither truly understands what makes the other tick. For this pairing to work, a lot of work is in order. Both are seekers of peace and harmony with regard to life itself and relationships, and neither enjoy conflict or confrontation, avoiding such situations if at all possible. In addition, both are generally friendly, easy-going individuals. However, Cancer is sensitive, moody and emotional with a love of the past and the status quo, preferring the familiar to the untested. This individual can also be clannish and something of a nitpicker, relying on feelings and intuition in order to makes decisions. On the other hand, Libra is objective, reasonable, fair and usually detached, weighing and countering decisions before they are made. Libra also loves style , grace and is very aware of the importance of a good image. With an inherent sense of aesthetics, Libra adores having a home which makes a statement, for this is a sign which is normally very concerned with what others might think. In addition, Libra is also fond of the new and trendy, preferring to be in a relationship as opposed to "going it alone."
This partnership has the potential for success if Cancer is willing to give Libra space, and Libra allows Cancer to indulge in his or her preferably relaxed life style . However, Libra tends to be judgmental and may criticize to the point where Cancer feels deeply hurt (to say nothing of inadequate) by Libra's words and actions. In short, if the Libra partner is not willing to spend a considerable amount of time catering to the needs of Cancer, then there is probably not going to be much chance of a long-lasting union. That having been said, it should be noted that both are thoughtful individuals who are considerate, sensitive to and aware of the needs of others. However, Libra is more objective, rational and fair when compared to Cancer, who is subjective, emotional and biased by personal sympathies and loyalties. Though seemingly unsympathetic, Libra can be surprisingly cool and intellectual when problems arise between this combination, whereas Cancer will respond in a very personal and emotional manner. Libra tends to require more communcation and conversation than does Cancer. Libra also considers it important to relate to any partner as an equal and/or peer, while Cancer desires to either mother or be mothered by his or her mate. Thus, Cancer is more comfortable with becoming emotionally or financially dependent, or to have the chosen partner dependent in such a manner. Libra, on the other hand, wants a more egalitarian relationship. These differences can cause misunderstandings, but if handled delicately may not necessarily turn into a source of major conflict.
