ZODIAC: GEMINI AND CANCER COMPATIBILITY FOR LOVE – BE THEY A SINGLE MAN OR WOMAN

Gemini Cancer compatibility?

When people ask “As a Cancer – will I be compatible with a Gemini man” or “Or as a Cancer – will I be compatible with a Gemini woman” generally they are referring to their sun sign because that is all they know about.

In Western Astrology you are considered Cancer if you are born between (and including) June 21 – July 22. But in Vedic Astrology Cancer sun is from July 16 – August 17. So often you may be a Cancer in Western Astrology, but in Vedic Astrology (because it also considers the north and south nodes of the moon), you may not be a Cancer sun at all. It is pushed back three weeks, so you may actually be a Gemini sun. So if you were a Cancer in Western Astrology, you will only remain one if you were born between and including July 16 – July 22. But if you thought you were a Leo, you may now be a Cancer!

In Western Astrology you are considered a Gemini if you are born between May 21 to (and including) June 21. But in Vedic Astrology Gemini sun is from June 15th to July 16th. So often you may be a Gemini in Western Astrology, but in Vedic Astrology (because it also considers the north and south nodes of the moon), you may not be a Gemini sun at all. It is pushed back three weeks, so you may actually be a Pisces sun. So if you were a Gemini in Western Astrology, you will only remain one if you were born between and including June 15 – June 21. But if you thought you were a Cancer, you may now be a Gemini!

Dating and marriage compatibility depends more on the Lagna

In Vedic Astrology, your sun sign isn’t considered very important. It is more important what your ascendent (also called your “rising sign” or “Lagna”) is. This is calculated based on the day you were born, the year you were born and the time (in hours and minutes). Sometimes you can find your time of birth on your birth certificate. In other cases you may need to contact the hospital to find out. Of course, sometimes hospitals don’t record this information very accurately (generally they write it down after you were actually born), so a Vedic Astrology rectification is recommended. Contact us if you would like to be put in touch with a Vedic Astrologer who can do this.

What are the qualities of a Cancer rising?

Cancer zodiac sign

The main qualities of Cancer (called “Kataka” in Sanskrit) are:

  • Emotional
  • Intuitive
  • Doesn’t walk in a straight line
  • Sensitive on the heart level
  • Perceptive
  • Intelligent
  • Imaginative
  • Decisive
  • Kind
  • Frugal.

The Lord (controller) of the Cancer sign is the Moon (“Chandra” in Sanskrit). So this house is also affected by how happily the Moon is placed in your chart and the sign in which it is situated.

However, these qualities can be reduced by the effects of other areas of your chart. Please Contact Us if you would like to be put in touch with a Vedic Astrologer (also called a Jyotishi) who can tell you more about your chart and about Gemini Cancer compatibility.

What are the qualities of a Gemini ascendent?

Like their symbol the crab, Cancer people tend to have a soft emotional side hidden beneath their exterior. Their home and family life is very important to them, although they do tend to keep it private.

What are Gemini ascendents like in terms of their ability to love and date?

Gemini zodiac sun sign

Like twins, Geminis like to play and have fun, so this can make having a relationship with them very enjoyable. Sometimes this can be the case in the bedroom as well. However, because of their attraction to duality, sometimes they may be as attracted to their job as they are to you.

If you are dating someone with a Gemini or Cancer sun sign (according to Western Astrology), find out if you are both compatible astrologically

Many aspects of a person’s chart affect who they are (e.g., their ascendent and the house and sign their moon is in). So to really know if you will be compatible with them, the best way to tell is to have a Vedic Astrology Compatibility Report based on both of your birth times. It look at all aspects of your life together such as:

  • how you both approach work
  • whether there will be power or dominance issues in your relationship
  • whether being together will help you both be healthier
  • whether you will grow in wealth together
  • your sexual attraction
  • whether you could produce happy children
  • how much love and harmony there will be between you both.
