Ordinarily Cosmic next door neighbors don’t get along very well, but I think these two are the exception. I say this based on the fact I knew a couple once from these Zodiacal persuasions and they got along great. They didn’t always agree, but they accepted each other’s differences in a good-natured way and were very happy together.
In writing these compatibility profiles I’m attempting to combine my knowledge of astrological sign personalities with practical experience. (NOTE:-- If you happened to read my Libra – Scorpio profile then you saw an example of a sign next door combination that in my experience didn’t work at all. This one is to balance that one out.)
Here we have an Air and a Water sign hailing from the 3rd House of intellect and 4th House of home environment respectively. Air and water aren’t necessarily a bad combination since bubbles can be quite entertaining. Water under pressure can cut steel, but that’s not what we have here. Hopefully, anyway. Air likes to talk a lot and Water likes to feel a lot. Not mutually exclusion by any means and often a good complementary relationship.
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, master of communications and Cancer by the Moon, which can introduce moods into the equation. However, Crabs are usually basically good-natured and big-hearted, one of those into group hugs and kissing everyone hello, good-bye, etc. If they have an emotional meltdown for some reason, they might make a bit of a scene, but they’re not malicious as a rule. Of course they could be, given the right (or wrong, as the case may be) Ascendant or Moon sign, but this is not in the core nature of a Crab. Cancer is also a Cardinal sign, which is a nice match with Gemini’s Mutable (that’s MUTABLE not MUTATION). Gemini might have a slight tendency to bounce around a bit, and the Crab can lend some healthy stability to the relationship. On the other hand, the Gemini wit and multiple interests can be very enlightening and entertaining to the Crab.
Thus, all the differences between these two tend to be complementary and very workable in the big scheme of things. Throw in the Moon and Ascendant signs and this could go either way from there, but in general this couple will have good potential.
