Cancer and Sagittarius in love
Cancer: You love by taking care. Your affection wraps people in emotional safety, and you need the same devotion in return. Once you've bonded, you're in for life. Give your heart to someone who treasures how much you feel.

How you communicate
Cancer communicates in feeling and reads what goes unsaid; Sagittarius says it straight and wants passion behind the words. Learn each other's dialect and you translate beautifully.
Chemistry in private
In private, Cancer wants emotional merging and to feel truly safe, while Sagittarius wants heat, spontaneity and to be pursued. Different heat, worth learning.
Your strengths

The friction
Cancer is still working on not absorbing everyone's moods, and Sagittarius on following through on what you start. Name it early and you spare each other the friction.
The long game
One sets the direction, the other adapts. It flows as long as someone keeps pointing the way.
As friends
Your Water and Fire natures move at different speeds, which makes for a friendship that teaches you both something, once you stop expecting the other to be you.
