Cancer ascendant Leo: the characteristics of this generous and romantic sign
The horoscope tries to decipher our fate in terms of love, work and health, while the astrology tries to outline our personality, with its strengths, defects, interests and compatibility in love relationships and friendship. based on the influence of the zodiac signs, in particular the one in the main position of our birth chart, called the "house of the Sun", and the ascendant, that is the zodiac sign that was rising at the exact moment of birth.
Let's briefly review the main traits of all the zodiac signs before discovering one in detail: the Leo ascendant Cancer.
The characteristics of the astrological sign of Cancer
All those born between 22 June and 22 July are of the sign of Cancer. Together with Scorpio and Pisces, it is part of the so-called zodiac signs of Water and is directly influenced by the Moon, a symbol of femininity and sensitivity, which, in the common imagination, represents the mother figure. Not surprisingly, Cancer people are very sensitive and emotional, with a high level of empathy.
Endowed with a strong imagination, Cancerians are famous for turning out to be great dreamers with a romantic attitude and remarkable artistic skills. They are attracted by travel and the discovery of the world but, on the other hand, they are distinguished by their being attacked. to the home and the family environment. In fact, Cancer is the sign of the family par excellence, to which he is strongly devoted and with whom he has an unbreakable bond. He wants to build a family of his own and for this reason he mainly seeks serious stories in love.
All these qualities collide, however, with certain implications due to the strong influence of the Moon. In fact, Cancer people are moody and particularly susceptible. Their touchiness is combined with the unmistakable melancholy typical of the sign and a very lazy nature that can be dampened in some way by the ascendant. The need for certainty towards the partner can turn into jealousy.

Together with his brother of Water Pisces, Cancer is the romantic sign of the Zodiac. Love plays a central role in his life: he constantly searches for it, dreams of it and does everything to be fulfilled in the private sphere. What does he want? Simple, a family. The bond that every Cancer has with the family and home environment is visceral, also due to the influence of the Moon. Not surprisingly, he shuns the short one-night adventures, being in his nature only the important and lasting stories. In the couple relationship he always reveals his generosity and sensitivity, while he needs constant security from his partner.
All this does not mean that for Cancerians love is only platonic. In this aspect they are very reminiscent of Scorpio, because for them the physical component is as fundamental as the mental one. In this way they manage to combine their sweet and affectionate side with a more transgressive one. and sensual, reserved, however, only for the partner. There remains the risk of a bit of naivety and immaturity in the initial stage of the relationship and also an sometimes excessive attachment to the partner that can lead to outbursts of jealousy.
In terms of compatibility, he usually agrees with Taurus, also linked to family and loved ones, Virgo, for his stubbornness in achieving goals, and Scorpio, for his passion and sensual love. His cognate opposite sign is Capricorn, with whom he creates an excellent bond for his determination. More difficult is the situation with the Fire and Air signs, especially with Gemini and Sagittarius, but it can vary depending on the ascendant.
Leo as an ascendant
Unlike Cancer, Leo is one of the Fire Signs, along with Aries and Sagittarius. As an ascendant he maintains many of his main characteristics, among which courage, positivity and fortitude immediately stand out. In his working life he demonstrates an unmistakable charisma, also due to the determination, stubbornness and ambition that distinguish him. These qualities combine with the generosity and protective side he reveals towards others and make him a valued and respected leader.
However, like other Fire ascendants, Leo's can be too impulsive. In addition, he is famous for his pride and constant pursuit of attention, which can turn into exhibitionism and vanity. Beware of starting a fight with a Leo ascendant because he will do anything to win it.
Usually, the Leo ascendant ties with the natives of Fire, Libra, Virgo and Capricorn. More complex is the affinity with Aquarius, Gemini and Pisces. In fact, with the former she will find it difficult to forge a relationship due to their free and independent spirit that arouses leonine jealousy, while for the signs of Water the difficulties are connected to their extreme sensitivity that risks being hurt by the Leo's temperament.
The personality of those born in Cancer ascendant Leo
According to astrology, in the native Cancer ascendant Leo very different character traits are mixed, also due to the different themes of the two signs, with Water on one side and Fire on the other. All this can lead to imbalances, but also strengthen the introverted and shy nature of Cancer. In fact, the Leo ascendant brings more sociability, making the sign of "Water expansive and inclined to" go out "of his world. Thus, relationships with others will be dissolved and casual and you will notice an improvement in this sense also with regard to work. This is because a Leo ascendant Cancer is quite ambitious and determined: the typical laziness of the Water signs - such as that of the Air signs especially Gemini and Libra - is attenuated by the stubbornness of those of Fire or Earth.
In this way, he will commit himself with dedication to his work, not being debased by criticisms or fears. On the contrary, the natives show a certain desire to excel that can take them far. Cancer ascendant Leo very inclined to such professions.In the relationship with friends and colleagues they surprise with their generosity and the tendency to protect and help anyone in difficulty.
However, the vanity of the Leo ascendant is often felt and for this reason they risk sin of presumption and sometimes of tyranny with those around them.Furthermore, we continue to notice the typical touchiness of Cancer who here struggles to accept the no and the defeats. One of the first reasons for contrasts is certainly pride.
The affinities in love of the Leo ascendant Cancer
Unlike the other Fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius, Leo is already in itself inclined to stable relationships and, therefore, it is not surprising that a Cancer with such an ascendant makes love one of the constants in his life. in this personality the main characteristics of each sign are best combined. One immediately notices a sweet, affectionate, romantic and protective side of the water sign and, at the same time, the extreme fidelity and sensuality of that sign do not go unnoticed. of fire.
Therefore, a Leo ascendant Cancer partner does everything for those they love and is always ready to help their partner struggling with any difficulty. In return, he asks "only" this: loyalty - because the slightest suspicion brings out the jealousy that hides under his shell - and attention. In fact, despite the greater awareness, this Cancer needs reassurance and feel loved constantly.
As the studies of astrology and horoscope point out, there are always affinities in love more or less precise depending on the combination of the zodiac sign and ascendant. As for those born in Cancer with a Leo ascendant there are different scenarios, due to the combination in the birth chart of a "feminine" and a "masculine" side.
First of all, there is a good compatibility with the other signs of Water, Scorpio and Pisces, because they share the great passion for creativity of these natives and also the basic ideas for establishing a relationship. Often they also create an excellent understanding with Taurus, always regarding the sharing of the same family values, and with Capricorn, with whom they have determination in common, a little less with Virgo. However, Leo ascendant Cancers can be affected by the initial coldness of the Earth signs, so it will be necessary for both to take a step in the direction of the other.
The Leo ascendant makes it easier for relationships with the same Fire signs and also with those of Air, normally (almost) impossible with a Water chart. Libra manages to dampen the more touchy character of these individuals, while with Gemini there can be a lively relationship, which can perhaps lead to more friendship than love. The strong attraction with Aquarius is irrefutable, but it will never be a serious story if the latter is not willing to accept all the rules of life as a couple.
