Is a Pisces and Cancer Combination Like Oil and Water or Peanut Butter and Jelly?

Dear Ann,

I am a Pisces and he is a Cancer. Are we like oil and water or peanut butter and jelly?

Dear Susie Q,

Well, you both have great capacity to be compassionate and nurturing. It is likely that you are very understanding of each other. However, your sun in Pisces and his sun in Cancer doesn't necessarily tell you anything about your compatibility. The placement of Venus in the birth chart will tell you a lot more about what you want from a relationship and how you are in a relationship. You have Venus in Aquarius in the 9th house (ruled by Sagittarius). This likely means that you are looking for a solid intellectual connection with your partner. He must be original and open minded as well as high minded to connect well with you. You require a lot of freedom and you cherish honesty from your lover. I also see some other placements in your chart that tell me that when you are overly emotional you may fall into a deeply worried state. At these times, you may question absolutely everything in your life including your partner. One of your challenges is to learn how to have faith and bring that into your work and your relationships.
