The Cancer/Virgo combination can be a very productive one. Watery Cancer gives emotional nourishment to her partner, and earthy Virgo gives her partner solid support and grounding. Both women in different ways are concerned with the process of caring and nurturing. Cancer cares for others with emotional tenderness and empathy. Virgo caring is given with conscientious regard for being of service and stems from her desire to be useful. Together these two women will establish a relationship based on care nad consideration for each other's needs.
Each of these women will be supersensitive to the needs of the other. At times, these two can be almost too solicitous of each other and may tend to suppress valid anger when this arises. Each woman is acutely tuned in to the other, sometimes to the point that it may be a problem. The Virgo may have a tendency to be picky in little things; the Cancer will note the slightest criticism and feel rejected. The Virgo woman is also acutely aware of the Cancer's emotional demands, but if she finds them too demanding she may not express resentment because of guilt. Therefore, a lot may be going on beneath the surface between these two that may not always be healthy.
Except for these difficulties, however, things usually go well with these two women. The Cancer woman will appreciate the practical focus her Virgo partner gives her, and the Virgo woman will enjoy the tenderness and affection that the Cancer woman gives her, expecially in the home. They would also make excellent business partners. Virgo is shrewd and practical, and Cancer has an instinctive sense of what the public wants. Together, these two would give conscientious attention to any task they undertook. Sexually, these two women should be very compatible, although the Virgo woman will need to overcome some reserve in order to respond to her partner's emotional needs.
