Cancer and Capricorn Love Compatibility
Opposites do attract, as the pairing of Cancer and Capricorn demonstrates. When Cancer's cardinal water and Capricorn's cardinal earth align, it's typical to hear comments like "those two couldn't be more different" from an outsider's perspective. However, the two persons in the relationship recognize that their synergistic combination of elements, mutual comprehension of each other's modes of operation, and mutual attraction are what keep them going, even if no one else can perceive it. It doesn't matter—they see one other and know they have instant chemistry, as well as long-lasting staying power.
Cancer and Capricorn are the zodiac's quintessential mother and father characters, and they take their jobs seriously. They are both tradition-oriented, therefore holidays, anniversaries, and other milestones will be extremely important in their relationship. Furthermore, they both provide and receive emotional and material security for each other, which are two tentpoles that they both prioritize, albeit in slightly different ways. As cardinal signs, they will have extremely selective and discriminating tastes, thus they will not dispute over quality issues. They'll both agree that it's essential!
Capricorns prioritize tangible possessions, but Cancers foster an emotional environment in which they can both appreciate them. That teaches Capricorn a valuable lesson in relaxing! When these two treat each other with the reciprocal respect that two equals deserve, they form an unstoppable force. This is the primordial power duo, a perfect match of opposites. The danger zone occurs when each indicator goes too far forward in expressing the stereotypes of the aforementioned character. At any given time, and by definition, one person must lead while the other follows. That is not to say that one of the members of this relationship is always identified as the leader.
When two cardinal forces are combined, it is easy to see two persons wanting to lead at the same moment but from opposing perspectives. Cancer may like to lead from the heart, whereas Capricorn rules from the brain. Whoever has the stronger personal dynamism may end up dominating the other person. This energy can quickly become overly limited, leading to bitterness. While the moon and Saturn may endure being out of the spotlight at times, if they are never given full expression, they will eventually explode. And eventually, all of the sexual energy and fire that drove this pair together will go away, leaving bitter feelings at best and hatred at worst.
Mutual respect is essential for the success of any interaction between diametrically opposed individuals. Both partners must provide equal validation for the other's emotional and physical priorities, without making the other feel as if their beliefs and perspectives are less significant. As long as Cancer and Capricorn can work it out together, their encounter will be the beginning of something fantastic.
