Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the cerebral planet, while the Moon, a symbol of instinct and sensitivity, rules Cancer. Between these two signs, it is easy for misunderstandings to arise.

Geminis can appear disinterested and apathetic in the face of a Cancer who always needs attention and proof of affection. On the contrary, the apprehension of Cancer will quickly tire the Gemini who will feel suffocated by the incessant questions and reassurance of Cancer. However, these two signs form a winning couple at work, Gemini brings their concrete vision to a more creative and dreamy Cancer.

Sexual compatibility and intimacy

The Gemini would go out and have the strangest sexual experiences, and the Cancer would stay home and wait for the night to be loved by their tender partner. This isn’t always the case, of course, but it’s very rare for a Gemini partner to be able to relax their Cancer and have them participate in their sexual adventure. However, there is a link between them, which is quite strong after all. Cancer continues in the sign of Gemini, and in a sense their nature is a consequence of endless conversations and rational explanations.

Confidence

Gemini is a sign ruled by Mercury, our little trickster. It is not easy to trust a Gemini partner, especially if you are trying to take away their freedom. As a rational sign, they usually find no reason to lie or cheat on their partner, until they feel threatened by the intimacy they are not ready or bound for.

Communication and intellect

There is probably not a single sign in the zodiac that Gemini cannot talk to, so their communication skills mark this category a little higher either way. In their relationship with a Cancer partner, they usually feel the need to open up a little more and share things they wouldn’t do with other people. There is a certain maternal glow around Cancer, male or female, which gives Gemini enough space to release their inner child.

Emotions

The main negative possibility here would be in the fact that Gemini doesn’t always listen. It is often said that Gemini is a superficial sign, but in reality they like to float and keep away from difficult conversations due to their need to move on. Cancer can try to share their emotions too often for Gemini to be patient enough to understand them, and this can be devastating to their emotional relationship.

Values

They have completely different systems in which they evaluate things in life. While Gemini is a rational sign, which values everything that comes out of their mind, Cancer is an emotional guru, who values the things their heart beats for. When it comes to relationships, they are probably the most vulnerable to differences in this category, as the differences here make their primary goals different. Although both will be motivated to find love, the way their partner behaves in a relationship could be considered wrong due to its opposite nature to what each of them values.

Shared activities

The activities that Gemini and Cancer might share depends primarily on the energy level of the Cancer partner. If they have enough to follow the Gemini chaotic schedule, they may find a lot of fun things to do together. Cancer is a sign that exalts Jupiter, and her representatives love to travel, as much as they love to feel at home because of the sign itself. While the Gemini partner doesn’t really have to go that far, they may find a middle ground in traveling to the places they both want to visit.
