There can be an unusually warm loving bond between you, though your temperaments are quite different. Leo is very proud and wants recognition, appreciation, respect and love from a partner. Cancer wants to be needed and desires sympathy, tenderness, and emotional support from a partner.

Leo has difficulty accepting and expressing needs, sadness, or weakness and is uncomfortable when Cancer expresses doubts, insecurities, weaknesses, or moodiness. Leo is the more dominant of the two of you and is likely to take the lead in your relationship, which is fine with Cancer, who has no need to be on top.

Virgo can suddenly become irritated and critical over minor annoyances and at such times be capable of intense sarcasm.  This can be extremely disconcerting to Cancer's tender, sensitive feelings.

Virgo must be prudent and Cancer must strive to be forgiving when things go a little awry. However, both are capable of enormous devotion to one another and to your children if you have them and taking care of one another will come naturally. 

Cancer will be a nurturer, taking care of the home, but may not be particularly tidy, which can be a problem for Virgo who usually have exacting standards.  Both caring types, these too can be comfortable, if Virgo can resist the urge to nag and Cancer can avoid using emotional blackmail.
