The Cancer and Libra relationship is very hard to maintain. Although both are fairly sensitive, do not like confrontations, and like to communicate – this is where the similarities end. He can seem to be overpowering to Cancer’s emotional side. He makes her feel as if she is suffocating in the relationship. The Libra man can drown a Cancer with his feelings when she does get him to open up completely to her. She feels overwhelmed and loses control when he becomes emotionally needy. Usually the Libra man will seem detached from the Cancer woman and this turns her off. She wants to feed the emotional bond between them but going slow is important to her. Libra is a very romantic partner and he can shower her with every fairy tale scene she wishes to reenact but this does little to assure her feeling of uneasiness when Libra wants to go out to party and leaves her at home.
Resentment, hurt, and conflict can seep between these two easily and most relationships between them rarely last a lifetime. Cancer and Libra are an incompatible astrological pairing.
