Across love, work, friendship, and money
Love
●●●○○
Warmth is shared but the expression is completely different. Leo shines publicly; Cancer nests privately, and the tension between those two pulls is real.
Work
●●●○○
Cancer's loyalty and Leo's leadership can work well when roles are clear and Leo appreciates what Cancer quietly contributes.
Friendship
●●●●○
Warmer as friends than as partners. Leo's generosity touches Cancer; Cancer's consistent care sustains Leo in ways Leo doesn't always acknowledge.
Money
●●●○○
Cancer saves for security; Leo spends for pleasure and status. The gap requires negotiation but isn't unmanageable.
