Communication is likely to be the bedrock of a Cancer man and Sagittarius woman partnership, as it is their most compatible area with a score of 55%. Both partners are moderately skilled at communication, but each have contrasting communication styles.

Cancer men are more in touch with their emotions than their Sagittarius counterparts, finding it easier to express themselves through indirect communication of their feelings. While their understanding of their emotions is admirable, and a trait the Sagittarius woman needs to learn from, their indirect communication style can sometimes skew towards passive aggression.

Sagittarius women, on the other hand, are notoriously direct in their communication style, thanks to their ruling element, fire. However, they can struggle with emotions, preferring to focus on what they deem the ‘facts’ of any situation to be.

This is the most compatible area for this pairing because both partners have traits their partners can benefit from, if they open themselves up to learning from one another. In learning how to tap into her emotions, the Sagittarius woman will feel more seen and valued, while learning how to be more direct will help the Cancer man feel more understood.

Cancer men and Sagittarius women are fairly compatible in terms of sex and intimacy, with a score of 46% - their second highest across the key relationship variables.

On the surface, this pair’s sexual appetites may seem too conflicting - the Cancer man is adventurous in the bedroom, while the Sagittarius woman prefers to remain more conservative. However, sparks can fly in the right circumstances.

Though the Sagittarius woman is generally more reserved in terms of sex, she may sometimes feel the need to let her fiery side out, and so she is drawn to the more adventurous spirit of her male Cancer counterpart.

Likewise, as we have seen, Cancer men are emotionally intuitive, but they need the right partner to feel this in the bedroom. Sagittarius women, with their conservative intimacy style, place a focus on connection with their partners, which will engage the Cancer man.

This pairing struggles with social compatibility. As water and fire signs, respectively, Cancer men and Sagittarius women don’t naturally play well together, and this is evident in their weaker score of 39% for interests and hobbies compatibility.

Though Cancer men and Sagittarius women have somewhat similar energies - with a moderate-paced and fast-paced attitude to life, respectively - both partners are fiercely independent. They never want to feel they are being held back or missing out on an experience, as misguided as this feeling may be.

Sagittarius women prefer outdoor-based activities that get their hearts racing, while Cancer men are intellectually hungry. For this partnership to work, each person needs to devote time and energy into understanding and engaging with their partner’s interests. Their strength in communication will be vital here.

The weakest area for this duo, Cancer men and Sagittarius women achieve only 38% compatibility in the area of trust and loyalty.

The Cancer man is conflicted. Though he is naturally independent, he is also a more emotional person, and he can feel vulnerable in relationships. He places importance on the values of trust and loyalty, but he may struggle to respect his partner’s boundaries as much as wants to set his own.

On the other hand, Sagittarius women are naturally hot-headed, and feel too restricted by the concepts of trust and loyalty. Her independence is her most valued attribute, and she may mistake respectful boundaries for control.

For a romantic relationship to work, this area needs to be the number one focus for Cancer men and Sagittarius women. They must learn to compromise - fortunately, as both partners are independent, they should be able to value this quality in one another and set boundaries that work for both of them.
