Water, which is compatible with earth, enhances the merits of this combination. Cancer proves sincere, loyal and conscientious so will appreciate the hallmarks of Virgo which are care, attention to detail and thoroughness. Cancer is patient and, therefore, willing to accept Virgo will not be happy with quick but shoddy work. Virgo is too much of a perfectionist to do things in a hurry. Cancer is hypersensitive and easily hurt, so Virgo should curb the tendency to criticize when Cancer errs. Cancer should remember that Virgo is not too demonstrative when it comes down to expressing feelings of love or affection.
