They share the same sign: they recognise each other in the mirror, with the same strengths and the same quirks.
What is love like between Cancer and Cancer?
Water with water is a deep emotional bond: the two understand each other almost without speaking, and the risk is following the same tides together. A Cancer loves with tenderness and memory, and needs to feel safe before opening up; with someone just the same, they feel understood straight away.
And friendship?
It is a friendship of confidences and unconditional support. A Cancer is the friend who remembers birthdays and looks after whoever is feeling low, and here they meet their match.
And working together?
Two cardinal signs both want to lead: together they get a lot started, as long as they agree who decides what. A Cancer protects the team, reads people well and does best in an atmosphere of trust, and as a pair that doubles, for better and for worse.
Where might they stumble?
The biggest challenge is that the flaws are the same too, and nobody makes up for what both are missing. A Cancer can retreat into their shell when hurt, instead of saying how they feel, and as a pair the risk doubles.
One piece of advice for both
Look outside the couple for what neither of you has, and laugh at the quirks you share.
