When the Cancer and Pisces fall in love …

There are many things that make the relationship between a Cancer and a Pisces beautiful. For starters, both these signs are emotional.

When they fall in love, Cancers become nurturing and self-sacrificing. Pisces are no different. Also, people in this sign are known to have psychic abilities and guess other people’s feelings.

As Water signs, they will react slowly, so it will take some time before either one of them makes a move to hit on the other.

When it comes to money, the Pisces and the Cancer won’t be able to agree. The Cancer puts aside for a better future, while the Pisces will spend on the most ridiculous things, or donate to whatever organization they see fit.

And as far as self-respect goes, Pisces always doubt themselves, this is a very pessimistic sign. People in Pisces need to work on their self-confidence more than other signs. They often settle for less just because they believe they don’t deserve more.

Sensitive and caring, giving their love will come easily to them. Sociable and friendly, they will have people love them wherever they may be going.

The Cancer needs to understand they are both likable and that no one wants to take the Pisces away. On the other hand, the Pisces needs to be more understanding with the Cancer’s wish to have a secure financial future. Cancers hate it when nothing is planned, and they definitely don’t like people who are lazy. And Pisces can often procrastinate, not to mention that they don’t know their way around money.

If they would take into consideration a few things about each other, they would be happier and their Pisces-Cancer relationship will last longer. The Cancer won’t mind helping the Pisces be more positive because they are often overwhelmed by depression.
