Sign compatibility
Cancer and Virgo
Sextile · it flows
What tradition says
Your signs are two signs apart: a sextile, which Ptolemy counts among the aspects that agree. Your elements complement each other and your signs share the same polarity.

| Mode | Cardinal | Mutable |
| Polarity | Feminine | Feminine |
What it's like together
Things flow easily: one picks up what the other starts, and conversations go far without effort.
The trap
A sextile asks to be used: left to itself, it stays a good understanding, nothing more.
One thing to do together
Start something together, even something small, that needs what each of you is good at.
What your signs don't say
Here we only compare your two Sun signs: one point each, out of about ten in a chart. Two people who are Cancer and Virgo may have nothing else in common: the Moon, Venus, Mars and the rising sign weigh just as much. Real compatibility compares the two charts, planet by planet.
