Take care of me while I don’t forget about you
Take care of me while I pretend I’m who I wanted to be

Cancer matches Leo?

If Cancer and Leo are willing, they can exchange a lot of tolerance and learning in a combination between them.

However, if the two are not willing to do so, one can destroy the other, just as Water (Cancer’s element) and Fire (Leo’s element) destroy each other.

Leo tends not to have much patience with Cancer and the Crab is not willing to learn the lessons that Leo has to teach.

Cancer natives are probably not very happy right now reading this statement. But the truth is that if Cancer tries to teach and exercise dominance in this relationship, Cancer’s chances of getting along with Leo are practically nil.

Therefore, for Cancer and Leo in love to work, the native of Leo has to roar and not allow the crab to drown his enthusiasm and adrenaline.

Just as Leo needs to be himself, the same rule goes for Cancer – don’t run away from your essence.

The person of the Leo zodiac sign will protect the sensitive emotions of the Cancer native from the cruel blows of the world. In return, Cancer will repay all protection with love and care.
