At the beginning the encounter between Cancer and Libra seems promising but soon the two lovers realize that they have both been dazzled by illusions. It is true that these are two romantic signs that aspire to a couple that is harmonious and serene, alas that is not enough!

Cancer and Libra have two very different sensitivities and their points of view are sometimes radically opposed. The water sign dreams of a cozy home, of intimacy and a cocoon of tranquility with their partner while the air sign dreams of being in the world, communication and exchange. Social relationships are Libra's oxygen and they find it impossible to be confined away from the world with only Cancer for company.

As the relationship progresses, each of the signs realizes that the other is not at all what they imagined at the beginning. Libra is at risk of becoming powerless in the face of the lunatic and susceptible side of Cancer, who is always very nervy. As for Cancer, they see Libra as seriously devoid of empathy, and not focused enough on sharing their feelings.

This will certainly not reassure the water sign who already tends to doubt people's good faith. Suffice to say that sustaining a relationship between Cancer and Libra requires a lot of compromise and adjustments on a daily basis.

Communication and emotion between Cancer and Libra

On the communication side, Libra is a very social sign, so should not have too much difficulty in establishing a dialogue with Cancer. These are two signs that need bonds and harmony, so they will be able to talk to each other quite easily even if they do not necessarily have the same interests. If they have a project in common conflicts may arise because Cancer expects a lot from Libra when it comes to making their ideas a reality. But as a good air sign, Libra often finds this difficult. The water sign will get very annoyed by this and wish the air sign could be a bit more down to earth.

On the emotional side, both Cancer and Libra are sensitive but not in the same way at all. The water sign seeks a concrete relationship, sometimes a little down to earth, but their constant search for security manifests in this. On the other hand, the air sign wants lightness, they want a relationship that will make them feel so high they'll be happy to live on love alone. In short, they are not at all on the same wavelength in terms of their respective expectations.

Trust between Cancer and Libra

When Cancer feels good in a romantic relationship, they give their trust easily because they want to commit to building their dream couple. Feeling safe, having a harmonious home and a fulfilling family life is all that motivates the water sign. Unfortunately, Libra doesn't really feel the same way; they have a visceral need to please others and to flirt in order to reassure themselves they are accepted.

And even more worrying for Cancer, the air sign has a real blockage when it comes to long term commitment. Libra worries so much about being wrong or making a bad choice that they constantly dither about which path to take. Therefore, Cancer finds it difficult to have blind confidence in Libra when they understand they might be thrown over from one day to the next if Libra is overtaken by an unmanageable existential anxiety.

Intimacy and sexuality of Cancer with Libra

Cancer and Libra are not likely to be brought to together by the passion of their sex life. In fact, their intimate lives are marked by a certain distance, a lack of initiative and ardor. The positive point is that Cancer is reassured by Libra's cautious nature and patience. Nevertheless, the water sign can sometimes be destabilized by Libra, they have difficulty synchronizing themselves with the air sign. The desires of Cancer and Libra are very different.

The water sign wants to create an emotional bond through sex while the air sign is all about the pleasure of the senses. What they lack to feel complete satisfaction is a strong emotional connection. Ideally, they should get to know each other first as friends, so they have things to share and feelings that are not necessarily related to sex and romance.
