Cancer and Capricorn are traditionally considered to be one of the most perfect astrological pairings. They complement one another beautifully and each is searching for traits the other has to complete them. Plus, they balance one another’s weak points; Cancer’s over-sensitivity is balanced by Capricorn’s self-assured tendencies and realism, while Cancer’s nurturing and homemaking skills give balance to Capricorn’s drive to work. They are often considered the mother and father signs of the zodiac. Though no pairing is perfect, this is perhaps one of the closest to perfect pairings out there, as long as both parties are willing to put a little effort into understanding and communicating with one another.
Why Do Cancer and Capricorn Seem Wrong for Each Other?
While on the surface these two seem as though they would be completely emotionally incompatible, they are actually ideal for one another. Though Capricorn shies away from shows of emotion that Cancer is famous for, they secretly long for someone to show them emotional closeness and very much appreciate Cancer’s sensitivity and sentimentality. Likewise, while at first Capricorn’s standoffish nature may make Cancer a little uncertain, once they realize how attached the Capricorn really is, they will blossom into someone much more self-assured, showing amazing poise and confidence.
For both partners, love and relationships are serious matters, not to be taken lightly or dealt with frivolously. Both are likely to take the relationship very seriously, and be very faithful. Both Cancer and Capricorn can approach one another with trust and respect; neither is likely to stray. Their relationship will likely fall into old standards, with each partner fulfilling their old fashioned gender roles naturally and live a very conventional lifestyle. These are people who believe that traditions are around for a reason and there’s no reason to rock the boat and try to change them as we go over in our star sign matching page: astronlogia.com/astrological-zodiac-signs/zodiac-matches/.
Capricorn and Cancer Still Have To Work Things Out!
Just because Cancer and Capricorn are well-suited to one another doesn’t mean they won’t have things they need to work on together. Cancer may want and need a stable home life, but sometimes they aren’t prepared for the amount of work they will have to put into the relationship in order to achieve that stability. Plus, Capricorn tends to be preoccupied with work and career, leaving the home and all its duties to Cancer which can cause resentment. Both parties must be sure to discuss their roles and expectations in order to avoid this frustration, and Cancer must remember that Capricorn may need the occasional reminder. Further, Capricorn’s may feel deeply, but they dislike emotional displays so having to constantly soothe Cancer can be a bit of a strain. Cancer must make an effort to self-soothe while Capricorn must make an effort to be a bit more open with their emotions and take the time to display the affection they feel for their partner.
Cancer and Capricorn Compatibility In Summary…
Overall this relationship is one of the most stable and sure to succeed. With communication, care and understanding, Capricorn and Cancer pairings create a stable home life, even if they are a bit boring to others. They may need to shake things up on occasion, but they will be very happy together.
Reading all these cancer and capricorn compatibility “essays” makes me very happy and hopeful. I am soooo in love with a cancer I know (me being a capicorn) she knows I like her but she seemed to already known before the crush even developed. I was honestly surprised. I don’t know if she likes me back though. I told her one of my “trigger points” that made me fall in love with her. And I honestly thought then she would stop, but she continued?! I presumably fall in love with her every night when I have romantic dreams. But I still don’t know if she feels the same way. I looked up why I dream of this person every night and the response is because I miss them and I feel romantic towards them. But it sucks because I can’t see her because of the Coronavirus. I just want to know if she feels the way I feel.
