♋︎ Cancer
Cancer loves carefully and deeply: turns any space into a home, remembers small details, senses a partner's mood without words. In return they need the same emotional honesty, not just words.
♒︎ Aquarius
Aquarius loves through a friendship that grows into something more: they need a like-minded partner, not just a romantic object. Personal space isn't optional for them — it's a condition for a healthy bond.
