Cancer Man and Cancer Woman Relationship Dynamics

Both are ruled by the Moon, the planet of moods and mind. The connection is telepathic. They are both incredibly caring and will compete to see who can nurture the other more. However, the Moon is cyclical; when the cycle is low, the relationship can drown in sulking, passive-aggressiveness, and hypersensitivity. There is no 'solar' energy here to burn off the fog.

Double Water means immense depth. Intuition is high. They value the same things: home, family, memory, and sentiment. They can build a fortress against the outside world. The danger is drowning in their own emotions. They lack the Fire to take action, the Air to think objectively, or the Earth to be practical. Decisions are made purely on feelings.

Two Cardinal signs mean two leaders in the domestic sphere. Both want to 'mother' the other, which can sometimes feel smothering. They might clash over how to run the household or raise children, as both have strong, instinctive ideas about protection and care. However, they usually align on the end goal.

The 1/1 relationship is powerful for validation. They validate each other's erratic moods, which is comforting. However, it lacks polarity. There is no 'opposites attract' tension to keep things exciting. They can become so insular that they isolate themselves from friends and society. It is a 'cocoon' relationship.
