The StarMatch(tm) astrological compatibility report helps you compare two charts by 1) identifying each partner's emotional needs by describing their Descendant (7th house cusp), Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars; and 2) examining the way their two charts interact. After describing what each partner needs in their love life, the report assesses their interaction by describing the significant aspects between their charts. These aspects identify areas of attraction, harmony, and conflict. The "Strength" noted for each aspect shows its degree of influence on the relationship. The Strength combines the aspect's closeness of exactitude with its positive or negative value for compatibility purposes. The higher the Strength is, the more strongly the aspect is likely to be felt and acted out in the relationship.

You look for a partner who is loving and supportive, one with whom you can establish a comfortable home. You love to be lavished with gifts and affection, but are very shy about asking for what you want. Because you are very sensitive to the needs of your mate, you are usually protective of them. Quite often people with Cancer on their 7th house cusp are attracted to people who are less mature than themselves.

With Cancer on the Descendant, you may tend to become very emotionally attached to your lover and find it difficult to let them go. You will grow a great deal through marriage as you learn to be more spontaneous with your mate. You are attracted to people who appreciate good food, drink and a comfortable environment.

You are highly sensitive and intuitive and do not deal well with rejection, which causes you to shy away from making romantic advances. You take love and sex very seriously, and a measure of emotional security is important if you are to enjoy sex with your partner. It is essential that there be mutual trust and respect in any relationship you develop.

Persons with Capricorn descendant often marry partners who are older than them. You admire the qualities of honor and dignity in your mate and enjoy being "taken care of," although at some level you may also resent it. Relying on your lover to take care of your needs is one thing, but developing a totally dependent relationship is another. You would be happier with the former.

Life is an intense experience for you, and you need to express your passion in all that you do. You go for either all or nothing in your relationships (nothing in between) and won't hesitate to let your partner know this. You can be very persuasive and seductive, and you should resist the temptation to use sex to get your way. But your deepest wish is for a long-term commitment, and you can be just as intensely loving and loyal as you are jealous and possessive.

Your love relationships may be somewhat turbulent, and fights in Scorpio relationships are quite common. You may have a tendency to dig deep into your partner's psyche to reveal their darkest secrets, and they may feel they are being constantly probed. Those who enter into relationships with you will not emerge without going through a transformation. You need a partner who can withstand the intensity of your emotions and your sexuality.

You are strongly devoted to the one you love, and no sacrifice is too great to make for them. Because you are so sensitive, you can physically tune in to your lover's frequency and anticipate their needs. Love is a spiritual experience to you, and you appreciate a mate who understands and preferably shares this perspective.

Be sure to insist that your needs are also met in relationships; don't become a sacrificial lamb to your partner. You need a partner who is grounded and earthy, one who can provide stability and practicality to the relationship. Be careful not to overidealize your lover. Try to see them as they really are.

Your style of lovemaking is very changeable and adaptable, and your primary concern is pleasing your partner. With this Moon placement, you can easily become an expert at sexual technique. You have little difficulty discussing sex, and therefore you are able to communicate with your partner and find out what their needs are and to pass on your own preferences.

You need a partner who is not prone to jealousy or possessiveness, because you need to feel that you are free, even if you choose to remain captive. Be sure that your partner has a good sense of humor and is willing to play at sex. Just don't let the physical side of sex overcome the emotional one. It takes a certain amount of seriousness to convey your love to your partner or to accept theirs.

You are subject to wild mood swings, ranging from blissful excitement to deep depression, and have a tendency toward possessiveness regarding both material things and lovers. Women with this Moon placement make very nurturing mothers, while men are responsible providers for their children. Although you are quick to bestow favors on loved ones, you always expect something in return and feel dejected if you don't receive it. Be careful not to use guilt to obtain your emotional goals.

You are good at planning for your retirement, and often once people with this placement pass forty years of age, they seem to become more youthful. It is important to you that you have the opportunity to be a grandparent. With business associates you are very shrewd and capable of making money quite easily, especially when it involves real estate and businesses located in the home.

You approach sex as you do most other things in life: as an opportunity to have a new adventure. Your style of lovemaking is enthusiastic and open. You approach your needs and those of your partner very directly, for you can see no reason to be shy. The communication and joy shared by the two of you is as gratifying to you as the physical pleasure you experience.

Since you feel so comfortable about your own sexual expression (just ask your neighbors who are within earshot of your bedroom), you can also help your partner to dissolve inhibitions they may have about their sexuality. Your greatest value as a teacher to your partner comes in the example you live rather than the advice you give.

Your mind moves very quickly, and you often act impulsively without considering all of the possible repercussions of your deeds. Your challenge is to develop concentration and self-control. If you can consciously slow down your mind now and then, you'll be less likely to overlook the small romantic details which your partner loves so much.

With your active sexual imagination, you need a partner who will enjoy acting out your fantasies as much as you do. You tend to be very direct about communicating your sexual needs, and you need a partner who is similarly inclined. It would be best if your partner were more "tame" than you as a balance for your impulsive nature.

You are seeking transformation through your love life. A superficial romance does not stimulate you; you need intensity and passion. You are a loyal and committed lover, but you can be possessive and jealous of your lover, and it sometimes seems that intensity is more important to you than comfort in your relationships.

You are aware of everyone and everything around you, and you can often "pick up" your partner's thoughts and feelings without the need for verbal communication. Passionate sexual expression is very important for you, and you can be persistent in stalking someone who attracts you. Your partner should be able to join you in fantasies and other bedroom games to further heighten the intensity of your sex life.

Your desire nature is very intense, and you desire a direct and impulsive lover. Although you are romantic, you are not necessarily subtle. You seek immediate gratification of your needs--in effect, move in for the kill. If a potential lover shows no interest, you will not wait around until they do. You approach each new love with enthusiasm and joy, enjoying every moment for itself.

Because you are harder to "tie down" than the average person, you would be better off with a lover who is more stable and patient than you. They would serve as an anchor to keep you still long enough to appreciate being grounded in a love relationship. They must be able to see that you are not really fickle, but rather childishly enthusiastic about life.

You are a warm, loyal and open lover and are extremely generous with your partner. You don't have much patience for elaborate courting rituals, but you are a very attentive lover once the ice has been broken. You will go to extreme lengths to make your lovemaking sessions perfect and to be creative in the bedroom. Be sure not to steal the show, though; let your partner come up with his or her own ideas.

Mars in Leo gives you the gift of being able to make any love affair or romantic situation a magical one. You treat your lover like royalty, and you are very pleased if they return the favor. Most of all, your partner must respect you and allow you to maintain your dignity (the famous Leo pride). You would not be happy, for instance, with someone who was obnoxious or otherwise embarrassed you in public.

You have a direct approach to romance and lovemaking, and you need a partner who does not require a great deal of courting and who will not mind that you are most often the initiator in your relationship. You are eager to get to the physical part of lovemaking and should be careful not to leave your partner behind emotionally once you get involved. The lessons you need to learn are self-restraint and patience.

Be careful not to act rashly and impulsively in making commitments in love relationships. Also, be sure to get all sides of the story and think things over carefully before acting in anger. Otherwise, you may regret it when you calm down.
