Nothing is as important to Cancer as having and maintaining a home, creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels welcomed and nurtured. It values ​ relationships a lot and takes care of others like no one else. It is available to respond to the needs of its offspring and puts the family above anything else.

According to Astrology, the signs of the Zodiac that share the same energetic charge, the Primordial Element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water), energize each other, while signs of different Elements may have greater difficulty in relating to each other. Fire follows the motto “it is better to travel with hope than to arrive”; Earth prefers “arrival”; Air works “as a function of intellect and logic”; Water follows "the ebb and flow of the tide of feelings". Together, the four Elements represent opposites but also the complementarity of astrological archetypes.

Compatibility of Cancer and Scorpio

Cancer is a sign ruled by the Moon, feminine, being considered the most lovable, sensitive and available among the signs of the Zodiac. Scorpio is a Water sign, ruled by Mars and corrected by Pluto, belonging to the category of Fixed signs. This sign is rich in unconscious matters. It lives, simultaneously, fascinated and afraid of the unknown.

When two people from the Water Element fall in love, they do it with abandon. Each one suffers not to leave the other, even in the most desperate situations. A native of Water has the ability to love and protect, and when two people of this element come together, an alliance is formed with all the conditions to flourish and last. People from Water do not seek economic security or social recognition, but rather the intangible support that arises from an intimate relationship with others. The relationship between them is enough to make them feel secure.

For many sign combinations, the compatibility between a male / female or female / male relationship is not particularly significant, and there may be slight variations in how they relate and balance each other out. However, when it comes to the union between Cancer and Scorpio, there is a big difference in compatibilities between a Cancer male / Scorpio female and Scorpio male / Cancer female relationship.

In the case of the link between Cancer and Scorpio, the reasons that justify this difference come from society's expectations regarding gender roles and not from any natural difference that may exist between men and women. A Scorpio male / Cancer female relationship is as pleasant and harmonious as the relationship between Cancer and Pisces. In this pair, the Scorpio male tends to assume a dominant role, while the female is dedicated to taking care of him and his family. This will be a very traditional relationship.

In a Cancer male / Scorpio female relationship, the social roles traditionally assigned to a male and female can be reversed. In a relationship of this type, the man can give up his career to stay at home with the children and the woman assume the role of the main source of income for the family, for example. As these natives are somewhat conservative and seek to respect established social norms, they may be concerned about what others think about their family dynamics. However, if they manage to overcome this challenge, they make an excellent team.

Cancer has a dreamy personality and what it is most looking for is a safe and tender love and to create the right conditions to take care of its family. Scorpio is a mysterious, unsettling, fascinating and disturbing sign. The presence of Pluto, lord of hell and sexuality, gives him an enormous sexual charge. Together, they form one of the most successful duos in the Zodiac.

Scorpio is jealous and Cancer possessive. Both signs are dominant and like to rule. Because both belong to the Water Element, emotions are lived to the limit, which can result in open warfare. But in the end, these two cannot give up on the relationship. After all, there is no better companion for Water than Water herself, because they both understand and appreciate her unfathomable and unpredictable sentimental nature. As long as they manage to respect each person's personality and invest in good communication, few adversities can separate these two.

How the Water Signs Relate to Each Other

This relationship creates lifelong empathy. Emotions run deep and unite these two. Even after the physical separation, the emotional bond remains.

The combination of two people belonging to the Water Element results, most of the time, in a perfect harmony. Water has the spiritual desire to find a soul mate, and when they both fall in love, they do it with abandon.

The Water and Water relationship essentially seeks emotional stability. Because of their need to give and receive love, they look to the other for intangible support. The Water native who has inner security is a formidable companion to another person of the same Element, as he has been blessed with the ability to love and protect.

As two similar natives, they have the ability to understand each other's feelings. However, the intensity and emotional depth of this Element can lead to disagreements between them. Furthermore, when partners of the same Element have very similar temperaments and are motivated by identical concerns, they may eventually fail to admire in the other what they easily express for themselves.

However, whatever the face of this relationship, the Water personalities remain united until the end and hardly give up fighting for the relationship. The relationship itself is enough for both of you to feel secure and, if successful, it can last a lifetime.

The Water Element and the Astral Personality

The most obvious feature of the Water Element is sensitivity. Unlike the Fire Element signs, which represent activity and faith in “moving mountains”, the Water Element signs represent emotions, sensations, perception. Empathy, intuition, fantasy, dreams, affections, feelings are the field of action par excellence for this personality.

The Water signs are like sponges. When placed in a positive environment, where everything is fine, the person is fine and feels emotionally balanced. If, on the contrary, you live in a toxic environment, charged with negative energies, you feel bad and pessimistic.

A Cold and Wet Element, it is a personality that easily molds itself to people's opinions and to the characteristics of the environment. It collects various influences, but it fails to organize them and give them coherence. It is a whole made up of several loose parts that cannot be linked together.

Astrology and Compatibility Between Zodiac Signs

Affinities in relationships manifest themselves in a variety of ways and Astrology can give some clues about how the signs interact with each other. Astrology tells us that the greatest compatibilities arise when two people belong to the same astrological element, as they share the same vision of reality and have a similar way of being and living.

Likewise, the attraction between two opposite signs can be instantaneous and the relationship tends to be harmonious. However, this does not mean that there are no affinities between people belonging to signs of different elements. Where there is love, affection and understanding, life happens. How the relationship evolves depends on many factors, astrological profiles being just one of them.

Zodiac Signs Compatibility

This is a result of the astrological profiles of the signs that you chose based on the analysis of the compatibility between temperaments, energies and characteristics. This analysis is based on general data, being valid for all types of relationships, whether love, friendship or work.

A detailed and personalized study is only possible through a synastry report. Although the profiles of the signs allow us to deduce whether they are more or less compatible with each other, only through the birth chart is it possible to make a realistic interpretation and draw true conclusions.

Remember that relationships are influenced by multiple variables, astrological being just one of them. The force of will, commitment and free choice condition the way in which relationships can or cannot progress in a favourable way. Any relationship, regardless of the influence of the stars, can work as long as there is a desire for it to happen, on both sides.
