If you want to know about the compatibility between Pisces and Cancer, you only have to look at the animals they're represented by. Pisces is represented by the fishes (theyâre sometimes called "the mermaid of the zodiac"), while Cancerâs symbol is the crab. And both, of course, are water signs. Picture an aquarium or even an ocean full of aquatic animals, chilling. Thatâs what a relationship between Pisces and Cancer is like. Donât get it? Let me explain:

As two water signs, Pisces and Cancer have a lot in common. Theyâre both introverted, emotional, and intuitive. Both are incredibly loyal to their friends and loved ones. Theyâre both artistic and creative, valuing the arts. Their differences are slight: Cancer is a bit more of a homebody than Pisces, but introverted Pisces is happy to stay at home and immerse their imagination in a movie or book. Cancer is also a bit more practical than head-in-the-clouds Pisces, who can get so caught up in their thoughts that they forget day-to-day stuff, like where they put their keys.
Pisces and Cancer: Friendship Compatibility
Pisces and Cancer are the same element, which means they are four signs apart from each other. This is an aspect that astrologers call a trine, and itâs associated with supportive, good energy. In other words, these two are a natural pair, whether as friends, lovers, romantic partners, family members, or even business partners. They have a ton of interests in commonâthey likely share creative hobbiesâand similar personalities, too.
Sex between Pisces and Cancer can go one of two ways. Either theyâre totally on the same wavelength, going with the flow and having incredibly romantic, erotic sex. Piscesâs imagination is used to its best, and cardinal sign Cancer is comfy making suggestions, too. But on the other hand, they could find that theyâre too similar, and sex is just kindaâŠwell, boring. Sextiles make for great getting-along energy, but it can be a connection thatâs low on ~sexual tension~. It all depends on the two individuals.
This pair has a lot in common, including an incredible loyalty to their loved ones, a caring and nurturing personality, and a shared interest in art. These two just âspeak the same language,â as they say. The only thing to watch out for here is that as water signs, Pisces and Cancer are both a little bit sensitiveâŠmeaning they can accidentally hurt each otherâs feelings when theyâre feeling down, especially because neither is confrontational and both (but especially Cancer) tend to let resentments build up. If these two can work on communicating directly and honestly when something is wrong, they have a lot that will help them make this relationship strong.
Pisces and Cancer are two peas in a pod - or two aquatic creatures in the ocean. They have similar personalities, values, and desires, so in a marriage or other long-term commitment, theyâve got a lot going for them. As I mentioned, it will be important that they can learn to communicate directly when thereâs an issue, rather than letting resentment build up until it explodes. But if they can work on their communication skills, these two are a perfect pair.
Astrologically, signs that share an element are some of the most compatible matches possible. That definitely applies to water signs Pisces and Cancer, who have so much in common that theyâll thrive in just about any situation.
