The most educational of the difficult angles: beside this person you become noticeably wider.

What works
The most educational of the difficult angles: beside this person you become noticeably wider.
What to watch
Neither element nor modality matches. Almost every conversation needs translating from one language to the other.
How the pair works
Cancer man feels more deeply, Sagittarius woman reacts faster. The attraction is strong, but fire wounds without meaning to and water sulks in silence. The pair holds where there is a habit of naming the hurt the same day.
♂ Cancer man
The Cancer man is a rare type: he genuinely wants a family and is not embarrassed by it. He notices details, remembers dates, cooks, makes a home and protects his people quietly and stubbornly. The other side is touchiness and retreat into silence: instead of saying "that hurt" he closes up and waits to be guessed. He is strongly attached to his mother and to the house he grew up in, and a partner must reckon with that territory. He is warm company for anyone who can ride his moods and does not mistake gentleness for weakness — he always gets his way in the end.
♀ Sagittarius woman
The Sagittarius woman is independent, quick to move and disinclined to drama: she is easy and interesting company. She needs a partner who will not hold her back — control feels like an insult, and jealousy extinguishes her feelings fastest of all. She is direct in conversation and will not hint: if something is wrong you will hear about it the same evening. She values wit, humour and shared plans above gifts and status. She gives generously to a relationship but leaves without long scenes once she sees the growth has stopped.

♀ Cancer woman
The Cancer woman makes a home wherever she lands — and it is through the home that she expresses love. She senses her partner’s state before he does and can be extraordinarily supportive, but expects the same and takes inattention hard. She needs certainty about tomorrow: an unpredictable partner exhausts her more than poverty does. She tends to mother the people she loves and dissolve into them, only to find she has forgotten herself. Her hurts run deep, go unspoken for a long time, and are never forgotten.
♂ Sagittarius man
The Sagittarius man is easy company, generous and usually surrounded by people: with him life is lively and roomy. He courts keenly but dislikes a relationship taking the shape of obligations too fast — pressure to speed things up makes him retreat. He values freedom above comfort and expects a partner to have her own life and interests rather than constant presence. He is honest to the point of bluntness: lying bores him, though forgetting an arrangement comes easily. He settles down late, but sincerely — and then becomes a dependable, magnanimous partner.
