When Cancer and Leo make a love match, they understand and know how to satisfy basic emotional needs within one another. Both these Signs require dedication and tender, loving care, but while Cancer seeks stability and emotional harmony, Leo craves heartfelt compliments and sincere admiration. Both are strongly loyal, even to the point of possessiveness, Cancer for safety's sake, Leo for the sake of their self-confidence. They are also both committed to a enduring, rewarding connection. Since their desires are similar, a Cancer and a Leo may fill very important voids in each other's lives.

These two will usually make a good combination. The huge heart of the leo will soon forgive the moody outbursts that the cancer can show from time to time. The cancer will feel a bit more at ease around the leo and will probably let the leo run things or at least let them think that they are in charge. On the other hand, the leo will appreciate the attention of the cancer, and the relationship will work as long as he can forget that he feels neglected from time to time when the leo is out running the world.
