Cancer and Cancer
Two Cancers can build a remarkably loyal private world. They notice each other's weather and take feeding people seriously, literally or not. The house can also become a mood aquarium: both people protecting, both people indirect, nobody willing to be the one who says the sharp true thing and risks the shell.

Love
Tenderness is abundant. So is memory. They feel safe and then, if hurt, they retreat in stereo. Someone has to stay in the conversation. Care should not become a contest over who sacrificed more for the home.
Friendship
Deep, familial, a little exclusive. Let other people in or the friendship becomes a bunker with good snacks.
Work
Strong in care, food, housing, and team culture. Weaker at public conflict and at ending a project that feels like family. Appoint a decision owner so consensus does not mean delay.
Where it rubs
Indirect anger, scorekeeping of care, and a shared talent for reading dismissal into a neutral sentence.
What helps
- Say the hurt the day it happens, in one or two sentences.
- Take turns being the person who does not manage the mood.
- Keep a life outside the nest so the nest is a choice.
