Gemini and Leo women can draw Cancers in, but rarely work long term. Cancers do work well with Earth signs.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
What can you say about the Libra Lady? She's charming, social, indecisive but longs for balance, harmony, and justice. She may seem self-centered, but when she finds a woman who appreciates her for who she is, she can actually give away too much of her power just to please her partner.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Looking for someone ambitious, practical, patient, diligent, disciplined, and focused on wealth and success? Look for a Capricorn woman.

It might be challenging to break through her walls but if you do, she will protect you and stick with you till the end.
Lesbian Compatibility: Because of how cerebral Capricorn are, they need the emotional depth and support that Water signs offer, which is why they do better with these signs than any other. But grounded Earth signs can make great partners for Capricorn lesbians too.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
What do you think of an Aquarius woman? How about that she's friendly, intelligent, visionary, a great communicator, idealistic, and eccentric.
