When Aquarius and Cancer Collide

Ours is a love story not everyone understands... We went against all odds... even our zodiac signs said we're not good together. I'm an Aquarian and you're a Cancerian, two signs that never really mix. According to easterastrology.com:

Cancer and Aquarius? You are so different that only with a great effort (especially from you, dear Cancer!) you'll make the relationship work. Aquarius is an Air sign, and you are a Water sign: two elements that don't stay together too much and they never mix. 

Aquarius is a sort of "science man" of the zodiac: (s)he is inclined towards research and technology, and (s)he is guided by reason in everything (s)he does: love itself is rational to an Aquarius. And as you are guided first of all by intuition and feelings, your reactions can be very different in similar situations. As a Water sign, you have a certain instinct in relating to people, an instinct that Aquarius doesn't have and doesn't understand. It's not something that can be felt, seen, smelled, analyzed. 

Aquarius can seem (and often is) a little distant, cold and... (s)he doesn't seem to get involved as much as you do or as you would like him/her to. You were probably very attracted to his/her mysterious look, but you will soon discover that it isn't just a way to seduce: this is how Aquarius is, mysterious. And no matter how hard you try to understand what happens in his/her soul, you'll always have the impression that there is an invisible barrier, beyond which you cannot pass. 

This Air native loves adventure too much to stay at home: Aquarius hears the song of sea maids more often and (s)he follows it. And "home" is the place you enjoy the most. Aquarius is very independent, and this will hurt you, because it will increase your feeling of insecurity (that is characteristic of many Crabs) and your jealousy.

But it's been 10 years since we said those fateful words "I do" and so far we made it work... we make it work. Yes, there have been times when one or both of us wanted to give up. We're only human after all. But in spite of our differences, you still make me laugh. Despite  the insurmountable troubles we encountered along the way, here we are still, willing to continuously embark on this wonderful, exciting, and mostly happy lifetime journey. You are still the one baboo... my bestest friend, the mate of my soul, my anchor, my true north. And I will go through everything all over again if that's the only way I can be with you in this world. I love you... all of you, with all of me, flaws and all.

Happy 10th anniversary my love!
