A not too serious outlook on the pairing between you Leo & Cancer 

A lion hooking up with a crab is as bizarre as the woman who had frequent sexual relations with a dolphin.

But where could a lion and a crab actually meet?

In Africa,

Well, there was a real-life story where a little crab was spotted by a lion pride at the sandy part of the MalaMala Game Reserve.

The Lions became so rather bemused with their new four-inch friend that they “stalked” the little thing, which had its pinchers up and was running backward, retreating to safety.

Like your four-legged symbol, you may be interested in learning more about your crab, but as the old adage goes, “curiosity killed the cat.”

In your relationship:  

In truth, Cancers and Leos are quite a common pairing, and this could well be the perfect combination because you both are creatives and homebodies at heart.

That is, if you, Leo, can find Cancerians’ gossiping to be a great form of relaxation. So, having general conversations about other people could be something that unites you two.

But the lions’ obsession with the crab stemmed from their need to find common ground with their newfound interest. But in all honesty, Cancers, and especially male Cancers, aren’t all that fascinating—a little too shallow.

Another issue here is that cancer may end up feeling like your servant, like your employee. But meeting your demands, Leo, is a difficult task for anyone.

Domesticated Cancer will initially relish the opportunity to show off in the kitchen. They will like to show off not only in terms of cooking but also with how clean they are.

However, in reality, Cancers are hoarders, so the house can look very uncluttered.

Either way, you, Leo, get a chance to put your feet up while watching a game while the cancerian is tending to your every need, since it will be the Leo that has brought home the bacon.

Thus, the roles here tend to be reversed; perhaps there’s an age difference between the two of you.

Either way, a Cancer especially if the Cancerian is a man, may end up feeling that you are lazy and they are doing too much for you. As a result, the crab questions what you, Leo, do all day.

Cancer’s response is actually jealousy of you. Cancer may be envious or resentful of your ability to relax and earn a living through hobbies, whereas Cancer is a nervous wannabe actor.

What can you do?

Although Cancer can enjoy doing stuff for you, Leo, the lion or lioness must have generous qualities to give Cancer something in return.

You could cheer up your spouse after a stressful day at work. You do not necessarily have to make them food, but you must try to give positive reassurance to Cancer, and to provide them with much-needed quality time.

Leo you have high expectations of a Cancer. You’ll know Cancer won’t attend to your every desire, but you’ll get used to them helping you.

Thus, a Cancer may be scared that they are not living up to the expectations of a Leo. Perhaps they are unable to please your fiery side because Cancer knows that you, Leo, can please yourself.

Therefore, Cancer can do only so much for the Leo but neglects ones own interest because of being too busy catering to you.  

Anything else?

The difference between the two of you is regardless of the gender or sex you Leo are more extravagant. You will want to spend more money, but you might not like the fact that the Cancerian is cheap.

Even if the Cancer has money they will not spend it like you want.  

Let’s say there was expensive gifts given but this is the type of person that will give a gift but the gift was re-gifted, and of course you won’t know this until more time is spent with this cancer person and all is revealed.  

Cancer zodiac gives away what was given to them or what they no longer want. This phenomenon isn’t restricted to celebrities or content creators who receive gift bags or samples in exchange for reviews. Thus, a Cancerian behaves like an employee who gives out free tickets or lets you into the facility for free.

But when it comes to giving their own things—their own possessions and belongings like their own money—they do not behave the same, so do not be under the delusion, Leo, that a Cancer especially a male cancerian will splurge on you; he will not.

Leo’s love attention just as much as Cancer. Leos crave attention. You demand attention. If anyone wants to piss you off, they should ignore you.

And the one thing you, Leo, regardless of your situation, will struggle to deal with is the lack of attention the cancer man gives when he’s in one of his moods.

Pros and Cons

Positives: Cancers cater to you. Is thoughtful.  

Negatives: May need more attention than you. Their moods take the spotlight away from you. A Cancer partner is a little bit scared of you. They think you’re lazy. May be jealous of your confidence or your lifestyle. 

Advice: Leos, if you can give Cancer attention in the form of words of affirmation and crave some quality time in return, you get someone who provides “acts of service” by attending to your every need.
