Why 60%?
water and fire live at different speeds: one wants to go out, the other to stay in; one talks, the other feels. It works if each accepts the other as is.
One proposes, the other sustains: the cardinal starts the plan and the fixed turns it into a tradition.
Cancer as a friend
Cancer is the friend who remembers your mother's birthday and sends you a photo from fifteen years ago just to remind you how you both looked. They take you in on their sofa with a blanket and soup when everything collapses, but fail them once and they shut down for weeks.
Leo as a friend
Leo is the friend who throws your surprise party, buys the first round and ends up blowing out the candles with you. They tell the holiday story for the third time with new details each round and, if someone else holds the table, it shows on their face. When you shine, they clap first.
🧩 What each needs from the friendship
- Cancer: Needs to know they matter to you, to get a call for no reason and never to be mocked for feeling things deeply.
- Leo: Needs their wins celebrated with the same energy they bring to yours, plus an audience that laughs at their jokes.
