Both Leo and Cancer prefer comfort and security, both on a grand scale. Cancer and Leo enjoy a beautiful home and a close-knit family.

Because both Signs are so strong, these two must always work attentively to understand and accept each other.
The intense and emotional Moon (Emotion) rules Cancer, while the bright and courageous Sun (the Self) rules Leo. The Sun is about ego and self, radiating warmth and light, and vibrant Leo really radiates that kind of energy and enthusiasm. The Moon is all about nurturing, creating and maintaining emotional connections. This combination of masculine and feminine energy is why the Sun and Moon adore and support each other as they do.

Cancer is a water sign and Leo is a fire sign. Leo strives with fiery energy for praise and appreciation, while Cancer desires more security and stability. Both signs like to take charge, but they take a leadership role in very different directions. No small number of disputes can arise from this difference.

Cancer is a cardinal sign and Leo is a fixed sign. Under stress, Leo becomes stubborn, and Cancer can act as a subtle manipulative force.
