Cancer and Scorpio compatibility
Two water signs, and very little needs to be said aloud.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22. Scorpio: October 23 – November 21.
Are Cancer and Scorpio a good match?
Tradition calls it a very good match. It stays good if ease does not become the only thing you are doing together.
I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.
What draws you together
You trust each other's depth almost at once. Cancer gives Scorpio somewhere safe to bring its secrets, and Scorpio gives Cancer an intensity and a loyalty that does not flinch. Few pairings feel this private.
The hard part
You both remember everything. Cancer sulks and Scorpio stings, and a small slight can go underground for a long time. Closeness can tip over into control, from either side.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit four signs apart, a one-hundred-twenty-degree angle astrologers call a trine. You share an element, and the tradition counts this as the easiest angle on the wheel. Things flow. The risk of flowing is that nothing gets built.
Water with water feels everything twice. You can sense a mood through a closed door, and you can also drown together in one neither of you can name.
One of you starts things and the other keeps them. That is a working partnership, as long as neither mistakes it for a contest of wills.
What each of you is really asking
Cancer is asking: Is it safe to come out of the shell? Cancer brings shelter and fears being left after showing the soft part.
Scorpio is asking: Can you bear all of it, and stay? Scorpio brings depth and fears being betrayed after handing over the keys.
The desire under the question
Each of you wants never to be betrayed. Ask whether you have mistaken watching each other for trusting each other.
