Cancer and Pisces is a great match, very often with soulmate potential!
These scores show the averages for data collected from my clients over the past 20 years. It's important to note however that individual relationships vary enormously. This is a summarized picture, a real compatibility reading is needed to judge a real relationship. It's also worth noting that Soulmates can be found in any sun sign match, even those which are statistically likely to have low compatibility.
This article is in two halves, the first is written from the viewpoint of the Cancer man or Cancer woman, and the second is written from the viewpoint of the Pisces man or Pisces woman.
An ideal match for you, your Pisces is a partner who will absorb your moods, ensuring you're always on the same page and moving in harmony. More than anything else, this is a partner who will always understand you.
This is fantastically intuitive, caring and affectionate match. You're both deeply romantic and sentimental, and intuitively understand each other, providing the sensitivity, tenderness, compassion and stability you both need. This is one of your very best sign matches.
It's likely you'll be in control of many aspects of this relationship, while your Pisces provides the emotional support and understanding you need. A very effective match.
Financially, your Pisces is likely to have relatively little interest in money (or material possessions) however your influence in this area will help build a solid future.
On the negative side there can be such a deep and emotional connection in this match that spiritually you can isolate yourselves from the real world. It's hard to really call that a bad thing though - the world can wait! Also, you can both be pessimistic at times, and may sometimes have difficulty cheering each other up, instead of empathizing and consoling.
You both enjoy the home, seek loyalty and commitment, and often prefer staying in rather than going out to socialize. You both sometimes need alone time to recharge. As in all other areas you mesh very well here.
Romantic, tender, affectionate, powerful and dreamy - 5 stars!
Never shallow, your Pisces takes sex seriously, using it as a way to increase emotional connection. You're both so intuitive that you'll both know what the other wants, and be able to provide it like few other signs could!
This is one of those matches where words can't do justice to the level of emotional connection available. Just grab hold and don't let go!
It's important to note however that we're looking only at sun signs here. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on someone's personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique. Generalizing too far based just on sun signs can therefore be misleading.
To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.
This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information: everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments with them etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the compatibility readings page.
This is a very intuitive, caring and affectionate match. You're both deeply romantic and sentimental, and intuitively understand each other, providing the sensitivity, tenderness, compassion and stability you both need. Truly the stuff of romance novels.
Your Cancer lover is a very emotional and moody person, and needs someone who can read them and react accordingly. You're a master of empathy, and will always be there for them, making an ideal partner.
A key thing to know about your partner is that while they react sensitively to things, just as you do, they can take substantially longer before being affected. Often days can pass before your Cancer reacts. Don't assume they're upset or happy because of the 'here and now'.
Financially, your Cancer likes to plan for the future and build some security, while you're unlikely to be overly interested in such endeavors. It's still a very valuable trait to bring to the team. Unlike many differences of opinion in this area however, this one is unlikely to cause any arguments.

So is this article conclusive? No! This article is based only on sun sign interaction. In order to provide a lot of people with information it's a convenient and fast way to generalize, but it's far from conclusive at this broad level. To get a complete picture we need to take all the other planets and their interactions into account for each of you, with a real astrology reading...
