When it comes to Virgo and Cancer compatibility, this is a match not often talked about in astrological compatibility. Both signs tend to fly under the radar; these two form a soft, quiet, easy match. Their similar personalities make these two a strong pair and highly compatible in love and romance.
The main reason for this is that Virgo is an earth sign and Cancer is a water sign, both elements that are said to go very well together. The earthy, practical Virgo holds the emotional sensitivity of Cancer very well, helping the Cancer to feel contained, safe, and secure. Cancer, on the other hand, softens the harder edges of critical Virgo, helping them develop more self-compassion. Their nurturing energy makes Virgo feel cherished and protected, a rare feeling for a sign that so often tends to take care of everyone else but themselves.
Both Virgo and Cancer prize security and commitment, which is yet another reason for their strong compatibility. They know they’ve found in each other someone who will stick around through good times and bad. This makes their relationship very special indeed—a rare jewel to be appreciated and treasured. These two worry for each other, which shows just how much they love and care for one another. This is a match made in heaven, a true deep love connection. Read on to dive deep into what makes this couple work so well.
Are Cancer and Virgo a Good Match?
Could it be said that Virgo and Cancer are a good match? Without a doubt. Virgo and Cancer are some of the best-matched couples out there, as they share many of the same qualities. The outstanding quality that makes these two so similar is that they are both true nurturers. They love to be needed, and they love to give. Usually, for both signs, they’re so used to being in the giving position that it may initially be disconcerting to find themselves as the recipients of care. It may take a while to adjust and accept that this love will be shared.
For example, Cancer is the type of person who will show care through their gentle empathy and deep intuition. They simply know exactly what the Virgo needs in order to feel safe and loved. Cancerians are excellent at anticipating the needs of others. Whether it’s a cup of tea or a chat, Cancers will go out of their way to be there for their beloved Virgo.
Virgos, on the other hand, tend to be practical caregivers. They love taking care of the physical needs of their Cancer mates. They enjoy running errands for them, doing the washing up, bringing home a delicious meal, as well as giving a listening ear and advice when it’s most needed. Virgos are, admittedly, a little more cerebral than the emotive Cancer, but this actually makes for an excellent balance.
Can Virgo and Cancer be Soulmates?
With regards to Virgo and Cancer compatibility, is it possible they are soulmates? Does their natural compatibility count towards being each other’s “One”?
There’s indeed a very high chance that these two are certainly that person for one another, yes. Virgo may be a little more cautious and careful as they assess the relationship to see whether it’s something that can last. Being an earth sign, Virgo people tend to be highly commitment-oriented, which is the main reason why they tend to be more cautious and careful about diving in too quickly until they can be sure. Their analytical nature can also make them stand back from the relationship and assess it for a while. Once a Virgo makes their decision, however, they’re all in.
Cancer, being a water sign, tends to develop feelings very quickly, although they can also be quite defensive against getting hurt. So, they too may approach with a certain degree of caution, holding back until they can be absolutely sure of what they want—that the Virgo is the right person for them. Once they fall, however, they’ll soon realize how safe and secure they are with Virgo and how grounded they feel. This is what a soulmate should feel like. Intensity and drama are usually not positive signs of any relationship, and usually, these are not signs present between Cancer and Virgo. Soulmates feel comfortable and relaxed—as if they have known each other “forever.” This is very often how these two feel around each other.
What Makes Virgo so Attracted to Cancer?
So what is it about Cancer that Virgo finds so attractive and delightful? Well, firstly, Cancerians are always changing. One day they may be funny and witty, and the next, sweet and soft. The shimmering landscape of their inner beauty is something that Virgo will find fascinating and compelling. Cancerians also have a way about them that is deeply sensitive and intuitive, which the cerebrally-inclined Virgo will find a wonderful contrast to their overthinking. Cancerians simply “feel” things, whereas Virgos “think” things. This balance between head and heart can prove very attractive to Virgo. They sense that Cancer has something that they deeply need.
Cancerians can also be hilarious when they want to be. Their humor is often quite wacky and different, which appeals to the equally witty and clever Virgo. Together, these two can make each other laugh, making them both very attractive and appealing to each other. Not only is Cancer quite clever, but they’re also emotionally intelligent, which Virgo appreciates. Cancerians just understand how the Virgo feels without them needing to always explain themselves. This feels like a deep relief to Virgo, who sometimes struggles to express their emotions or overshares.
Finally, Virgo is the only “mutable” earth sign, which means that although they like security and stability, they also need variety. Cancer people adore change and need plenty of it. Together, these two will safely navigate life’s ups and downs, thoroughly enjoying the journey with each other.
Virgo and Cancer Compatibility: Will Virgo and Cancer Marry?
Marriage. Is that something that appeals to Virgo and Cancer? Absolutely. Cancerians seldom show it, but they often dream of their wedding day upon first meeting anyone, especially someone as solid and reliable as Virgo. They can sense, deep within, Virgo’s desire for commitment and security. This helps Cancer to feel extremely safe, and because they feel safe, they’ll immediately start thinking of marriage. It may take some time for Cancer to open up and fully express their desire for this, but they’ll find ways to drop the hint. Virgo is not an unintelligent sign—they will quickly pick up whatever the Cancerian is putting down and respond accordingly. Regardless of gender or societal norms, it’s likely that Virgo will be the very first one to put marriage on the table, at least in terms of having a conversation about it. Virgo loves the idea of marriage just as much as Cancer does—they, too, want to feel safe, secure and held and enjoy the containment that marriage or a deeply committed relationship can offer.
It may take some time before these two actually tie the knot, and they’ll do it in their own way. They may have a commitment ceremony or go the legal route. They’ll know what each other needs and how to make each other feel as safe as they can. Once they do settle down, these two make a strong, lasting couple. Their marriage may be something that many other couples aspire to, with their gentle care for each other, their devotion to helping each other, and the way that they always worry for each other’s well-being and happiness.
What are the Cons of a Cancer and Virgo Relationship?
Are there any cons when it comes to Virgo and Cancer compatibility? Like any relationship, there will be difficult moments. Luckily, for the most part, Virgo and Cancer get along well and understand each other’s needs perfectly. They’re both very nurturing signs, making them genuinely want to be there for each other and care for each other in the best way that they possibly can.
The problem areas may simply be that both worry a little too much about each other. The Cancer partner tends to sometimes smother their partner in worry, whereas the Virgo partner may analyze an issue to death, thus worrying not only about their partner but also the relationship as a whole. The Virgo tendency to overthink an issue may stress Cancer out, who is more of a “feeler.” Sometimes, the constant mental chatter of Virgo can become onerous for Cancer, prompting them to withdraw from the relationship and take time out. Their defensive, prickly energy can further perplex Virgo, making them wonder if there’s a problem that needs to be fixed. Virgo can be guilty of seeing all the faults in a situation rather than being grateful for what they have, whereas Cancer’s moods can also become heavy for Virgo to deal with at times. Yet, through clear communication and empathy, this couple will excel.
