Cancer in love
You want to feel emotionally safe, not just wanted. Small things matter to you — remembering details, checking in, noticing your mood, making space for you. You can love very deeply, but you need to know that your softer side isn't going to be used against you.
Sagittarius in love
You need a relationship that doesn't feel like a cage. You want someone who can be your partner and your friend, someone who is curious about life and doesn't try to shrink you. You can be deeply loyal when you genuinely choose someone, but you need the relationship to keep evolving.

How to make Cancer and Sagittarius work
- •Translate your needs into specifics instead of hoping they're obvious.
