Cancer and Cancer
♋ Cancer (Water, Cardinal) · ♋ Cancer (Water, Cardinal)
Cancer and Cancer recognize each other right away: they're the same sign. They share virtues, tastes and rhythm — and also the same blind spots, which nobody makes up for.
Cancer and Cancer in love
A couple of enormous emotional depth and empathy. The risk is that one's sensitivity amplifies the other's.
In friendship and work
In friendship and work, both want to start and decide: they get a lot going, but they have to share command or they clash.

Polarity. They share Yin polarity (inward, receptive energy): they go in the same direction.
