A person is their Sun sign and the characteristics should be evident, unless the individual is still doing the whole “personal planets” dance thing; then things can get more complicated.
First off Cancer and Aquarius have the 8th house/6th house antithesis thing going on: His sun is in your 8th house and your sun is in his 6th.For long term compatibility this can be tricky. Even though water and air are drawn to each other and seek each other out; air is fascinated by the still, but intricate/complex nature of water, whilst water is drawn to the sociable, friendly and seemingly inviting nature of air.
The irony is, as much as you two are drawn to each other because of these qualities, you will also be frustrated by them.
Aquarius tends to imploy cool logic in even the most complex emotional situations; not withstanding a water Asc or moon.
Cancer, unless a moon or Asc in air, tends to wear their heart very much on their sleeve.
Even though you two do not necessarily conform to the rigid descriptions; your moon is conjunct his Sun in air and his moon is in the passive, easy-going, placid nature of Taurus. The nature of your Sun signs will show itself up as this is the directive of who you are trying to become and where your priorities lie.
His Venus opposes your sun very closely; oppositions can create wonderful rapport but also tension. They certainly do add to sexual tension.
Your Mars is in wide opposition to his Sun; again the opposition effect can be irresistible.
Mercury in Cancer opposes his in Capricorn
Your Venus opposes his in Capricorn too.
I think there may be too many oppositions for this to work.
Despite having your moon in Aquarius, the Sun, mercury and Venus in water suggests someone who is very sensitive but is caught between detaching their emotions (Moon Aquarius) and projecting a confident self-affirmed personality (Leo mars).
He, on the other hand has very little emotional content (sorry). Moon, Mercury, Venus in Capricorn and Mars in strategic Scorpio certainly does not make him cuddly.
But I see that you saw the other side of his nature which seemed gentle and affable, but I caution against seeing what you want to see.
Capricorn is latent when it comes to revealing emotions and with Aquarius sun and placid Taurus moon, you may not get the warmth that you so hope for any time soon.
The opposition effect of his planets against yours may make you feel very attracted and somehow drawn to this seemingly “stifle” individual, but will you be able to live through it when he does not reciprocate as warmly or as tenderly as you’d hoped?
To be honest, I just don’t see how this relation can work out happily.
Perhaps the sweetness that you glimpsed was his Taurus moon trine his responsible Venus in Capricorn (wide). But you have to remember that earth can be cold and logical as opposed to water; which is a lot more “invested” and complex. He has too many detached personal planets for your emotionally rich nature; I just don’t see it happening: Not at all.
