Cancer is ruled by the moon, while Leo is ruled by the sun, so they both tend to be the center of attention, but in very different ways. Because of this, they may find that they gravitate toward each other because there’s a sense of familiarity, but whether this friendship can stand the test of time is complicated. Cancer is a cardinal water sign all about emotional support and security, while Leos are far more interested external praise and expressing themselves as boldly as possible. Because of this, Cancer may oftentimes see Leo as self-absorbed, while Leo may feel that Cancer is oversensitive. Though they both care deeply for their loved ones, they express it in different ways: Cancers are the shoulder you cry on; Leo reminds you that you’re a boss. An interesting dynamic, and definitely one that may not be sustainable over time.
Leo And Leo Compatibility
This friendship is either instant or impossible, because these two have very large personalities. The good thing is, two Leo friends can naturally understand the other one’s needs, but because this zodiac sign has a tendency to be a little demanding, they may not always mesh well. Since Leos are incredibly dominant people, they typically need someone who’s not as needy as they are, so that the other person can give them the attention they’re looking for. Two Leos in a friendship may struggle with meeting the other one’s desire for validation, because they’re looking to obtain it for themselves. While this friendship could easily work out, it’ll depend on how flexible this pair can be when it comes to supporting and encouraging the other, without feeling as if their own needs are being neglected.
