There's often an instant rapport here, since both are sensitive, imaginative water signs. Pisces is drawn to the nurturing air of Cancer, and the promise of something enduring in romance. Cancer understands when Pisces drifts off, tuning into some far-off melody. Some Fishes will seem too diffuse in persona, too slippery for Cancer, who doesn't see anything to "cling" to. If Cancer tries to get Pisces to commit to reveal who the heck they really are, the latter, sensing danger, will quickly swim away. A key to this working is not trying to figure the other out -- some things will remain enigmatic and unknowable.
Both absorb psychic impressions and energies while out, and can retreat together to the safety of home. Together they can explore music, the arts, and the Neptunian realm of the cinema. A deep bond forms when they trust the other to be the guardian to that vulnerable sensitivity. Cancer can be a guiding hand for Pisces, helping find tangible gifts for the imaginative world within. The gentle nature of Pisces puts Cancer in an unguarded frame of mind, opening their own creative potential. As collaborators, they've got an infinite well of emotional impressions and vivid images to draw from.
Prospects for long term depend on how each manages their changeable emotional selves. Pisces has a tendency to escape in fantasy or addictions, and Cancer, wanting to protect and give of themselves, can become like the harried Mother to the Pisces little boy or girl lost. Cancer is a cardinal sign, but with confidence problems and sensitivities of its own to manage. This is a sea of love, and both could end up drowning. Both can fall into deep depressions, and have to guard against the relationship becoming stagnant. As long as the beautiful pools of sentiment don't turn to swamps, this relationship is a definite love connection.
