Just imagine it: two crabs sitting beside each other, gazing at the moonlight reflecting and dancing on the calm ripples of the sea. This is not just another beach picture; every gesture has deep meaning to a Cancer-Cancer relationship. When two lunars come together, they create such a tidal wave of feelings that nothing remains as it used to be in their world. From quite the ocean of Zodiac, Cancer-Cancer couples establish a niche. It is a world of: Water emotions increase gradually and continuously, without levelling off at any ‘ceiling’. All thoughts are expressed organically and directly, so words are not necessary most of the time. This is not only the concept of a place; it is also the concept of a space of being! Well, this combination is not just compatible but discovering one’s zodiac twin. However, does twice the Cancer equal double the peace? Let us see.

Emotional Telepathy: These two are mood readers. They can pick up each other’s mood like the best novel. One dampened brow, the other tendered benediction, all sans spoken words.

Homebody Heaven: Netflix and chill? More like sit on the couch build a pillow fort and never come out. Perfecting their love of soft spaces allows them to escape this insane world for a while.

Nurture Overload: There are two inherent caregivers in this home, so needless to say their relationship is wrapped in softness. Think of a household where as soon as there is a hint of a cold, chicken soup is made and where there is always someone to hug.

Mood Swing Symphony: So they both share their emotional swings but who keeps the balance in all this? Their domestic environment can get luscious and overly dramatic.

The Crab’s Clutch: Two securing people may have reasons to not want to let the claws go. Stagnation of development happens when both parties are too comfortable to leave that bubble.

Reflection Overload: It’s as if they were looking into a hall of mirrors where all they do is reflect what the other needs without knowing who they are.

Embrace the Ebb and Flow: It is inescapable that emotions cannot simply be ‘talked out’ and can arise from within, so rather than fighting it, learn how to work through it. Sock drawing? Or doodle emotions out with forty different colors, whatever that means.

Moonlight Adventures: Explore limits as a duo. How about starting out with a new theme for every full moon? And from there as you both start to immerse in more and more activities, more of these boundaries will be broken.

Crab Walk of Independence: Have individual activities and friends. Just like the crab walking sideways, breaking up once in a while is also a good way to bond.

Pincer Power for Good: Turn the love inside out! Take a pet or join an effort to help shelter animals. Even within the shelter of earned love, waves can be made.

A Cancer-Cancer relationship is not simply a love which can be shared, it is a passion which carries the power of nature. The former is at its best, a safe place during the turbulent storms of life, a source of compassion in an otherwise cruel society. The latter is at worst, a reservoir of insecurities, a maelstrom of codependence. Yet, here’s the beauty of it all: with awareness and effort, these moon lovers are able to construct a love so enduring, as the moon to the tides. They have within their capacity to forge a relationship which is not only a house but a universe, where comprehension is of oceanic depth and every heartbeat shared adds a bit more to the ever-growing monolithic structure called – love. And in the panache of the zodiac story, the Cancer-Cancer love story teaches us that occasionally the most exciting journey is the one where you find someone who completes your nest. And these moon babies do find each other in a most delightful sense and gentle affection: gently step by step.
