Cancer and Sagittarius compatibility
Cancer and Sagittarius meet at a quincunx, one wanting to come home and one wanting to leave. The pair can grow if the traveller brings the world back and the homebody keeps a door open.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius needs a bigger map. It is curious, candid and freedom-hungry, with a gift for finding meaning in the detour.
The angle between Cancer and Sagittarius
150 degrees, quincunx
A quincunx is a hundred and fifty degrees, an angle of adjustment between signs that share nothing obvious. Cancer and Sagittarius keep discovering that the other person's normal is not theirs. The attraction is real, and the pair works when the adjustments are made out loud instead of being stored as evidence.
In love
Sagittarius brings energy and possibility, and Cancer brings warmth and a base. The attraction is real, and so is the mismatch in how much movement each person needs. The pair lasts when Sagittarius makes the return a ritual and Cancer makes the home a place worth returning to, not a test of loyalty.
Communication
Cancer implies and Sagittarius announces. A blunt Sagittarius sentence can land on Cancer as a lack of care, and a Cancer mood can land on Sagittarius as a trap. Sagittarius should say the kind part of the truth, and Cancer should say the concrete need.
Trust and conflict
The trust question is about reliability. Cancer needs to know the trip is real and the return is real; Sagittarius needs to know the relationship will not punish it for having a horizon. A calendar is a romantic object for this pair.
Friendship
As friends they are an interesting mix: Sagittarius brings the invitation and Cancer makes the gathering feel like home. The friendship lasts when Sagittarius does not disappear for months and Cancer does not make the return feel like an audit.
At work
At work Cancer holds the culture and Sagittarius finds the new market. This pair is strong in education, travel and community work. Give Sagittarius the outreach and Cancer the follow-through, and do not let the vision outrun the capacity.
The practical version
Agree on the return date. Sagittarius should keep the promise, Cancer should find an adventure of its own.

The sign pair is the headline. The real comparison uses both birth charts: the Moon, Venus, Mars and the angles. This is the same two-person calculator used on the synastry page.
Both birth times give the Moon and the angles; without them the result is marked approximate.
