Cancer and Gemini make an unlikely couple. While Gemini is an Air sign, Cancer is a Water sign. Gemini is mutable, and Cancer is cardinal. Their personalities are totally at variance. Gemini loves to socialize, while Cancer is a homebody.
Personalities of Gemini and Cancer
Gemini is a chatterbox with a wide circle of friends. They will even change their personality according to each friend group. Highly intelligent and witty, they’re extroverts. Cancer is shy and more of an introvert. They have few friends, as they take time to get close to people. Unlike Gemini, they don’t care much for partying and socializing. A social butterfly, Gemini likes to flirt. Also, they fear commitment, as they don’t wish to settle down in boring domesticity.
The intuitive and affectionate Cancer is very emotional and sensitive. But, as a cardinal sign, Cancer has good leadership skills. They are not easy to befriend, but once they accept you as their friend, they will be loyal to you for life.
As Friends
Due to their differing lifestyles and interests, Gemini and Cancer do not run in the same social circles. However, they can learn a great deal from each other. Gemini is good at making Cancer loosen up, while Cancer can help Gemini feel special. They are both creative. While Gemini is a wizard with words, Cancer might prefer to play with colors and lines. As creative collaborators, they can be excellent.
In Bed
Cancer and Gemini have different needs in bed. For Cancer, sex is a means to establish an emotional connection. For Gemini, on the other hand, sex is a fun activity. They love to try different things and experiment in bed. They also like to talk dirty. Cancer may have a traditional and conservative approach.
In A Relationship
Gemini likes to hang out with friends and have fun, while Cancer prefers to chill out at home and watch TV. Gemini might find Cancer a stick in the mud and resent them for it. Cancer’s overactive mind will conjure up all kinds of scenarios on what Gemini is doing. The fact that Gemini can be an incorrigible flirt doesn’t help matters either. Gemini’s sociable nature can trigger Cancer’s possessiveness. This can make Gemini feel suffocated in the relationship, and it won’t be long before they break free. Breakups can be devastating for the emotional and sensitive Cancer, but for a Gemini, it’s no big deal. But, if Cancer can trust Gemini and give them enough room and space in their relationship, things might work out between them. The restless Gemini will find a loving anchor in Cancer, who will help ground them forever.
When they first run into each other, Cancer will be attracted to Gemini’s friendly nature and sense of humor. Gemini, on the other hand, will appreciate Cancer’s caring nature and warmth. The Twins will feel very comfortable with the Crab. However, it won’t be long before Cancer realizes how fickle Gemini can be. Gemini seeks freedom in relationships, while Cancer seeks security. Geminis like to date many people as they believe that variety is the spice of life. But Cancer wants to find their soulmate. Even if they develop deep feelings for each other, their different approaches to love will result in problems.
In Marriage
If they do decide to tie the knot, it means that they accept each other’s differences. They understand each other’s moods and whims. Gemini’s outgoing nature and Cancer’s shyness complement each other. Having a creative pastime in common can further elevate their relationship. Get your free horoscope from AstroVed!
