This brings together a clinger and a player, and that could spell trouble for both. The initial sparks come through humor, since these two love to laugh at the absurdity of life. But the dating agenda is very different, with Gemini finding it a game and Cancer out for a sure thing. Cancer gets nervous at the Twins' light, non-commital air, becoming aloof out of self-protection. Gemini may want to be in the mix, among fabulous people, and the Crab craves intimate spaces, and loves home most of all. Cancer wants to feel someone out emotionally, and Gemini hovers more in the mental realm. When the natural flirty Gemini nature comes out, Cancer gets frightfully jealous, and trouble ensues.
This pairing works when other complimentary signs bridge the gap. In general, Cancer helps Gemini get in touch with their sensual and emotional side. Gemini's detached vision can lift Cancer up out of their subjective swamps, and help them gain perspective. Together they're astute people watchers, and can share notes on the nuances of body language, speech patterns, and especially what's not said. They've got the full spectrum covered, and would make a great writing duo for dramedies. When Cancer accepts and learns to trust the flighty Gemini nature, and Gemini shows the wisdom to tread lightly on the Crab's feelings, things could work out. With love, and some evolution, this union becomes like a seabird -- there's high flying punctuated by plunges into oceanic depths. The key is learning to be gentle with the other when they're not "in their element."
