Scorpio and Cancer: characteristics of the union of the signs of Water and possible relationship problems
Cancer and Scorpio are two representatives of the same governing water element. It would seem that such a couple is a classic example of the ideal compatibility of horoscopic signs, but even in their relationship there are pitfalls, be it the interaction of colleagues, lovers or parents and children. Knowing about potential problems will help build relationships harmoniously, avoiding potential rough edges in the relationship.
Characteristics of signs
Cancers are born from June 22 to July 22 under the influence of water. Their patron planet is the Moon. She defines the mysterious character and depth of her charges. Cancers are capable of great feelings, but they are usually hidden under a thick shell of coldness and a somewhat contemptuous attitude towards people. In fact, a very vulnerable person, kind-hearted and gentle, lives under external indifference. It is these qualities and the fear of being deceived, touched to the quick that makes the representatives of the sign so carefully hide their feelings and emotional impulses.
Those born under the constellation Cancer are extremely distrustful, have a rather limited circle of friends and do not let strangers into their abode.
There is a saying about them: "My home is my fortress." At the same time, Cancers are truly housewives, they are the most zealous owners and skillful hostesses. Everything that is possible is brought into the house to improve it, creating comfort and coziness for the whole family.
Such people do not like loneliness, so they try to start a family.This is one of the most successful partners among the zodiac signs for creating a family, while a rather difficult partner for interpersonal relationships. Due to their natural distrust and secrecy, their nature is not immediately revealed. Cancers are too deep in themselves and their experiences, which, however, are in no hurry to talk to their half. The partner accepts this attitude and soon gets tired of having to guess about Cancer's thoughts and mood. He can step aside, but a touchy water sign will not forgive this and may even harbor a vengeful grudge.
For a harmonious union, Cancer needs a patient and understanding partner who will not press, and with a positive will periodically pull out of bouts of melancholy and bad mood. However, the wards of the Moon should sometimes be left alone with their thoughts. At the same time, the main thing is to make it clear that you have not abandoned them to deal with their problems on their own, but are always there and are able to help.
This is a sign of very emotional and sensitive natures, sometimes even to the point of sentimentality. They have developed intuition, thanks to which they accurately sense possible problems and troubles in their lives. They understand in advance that the relationship will be doomed or that it is not worth getting involved with an individual person. They also feel quite everyday dangers: they will not sit behind the wheel if they are tormented by bad forebodings.
Under the sign of Scorpio, they are born from October 24 to November 22 under the control of the planets Pluto and Mars. The most common horoscope characterizes these people as very active, irresistible, courageous and purposeful. Like Cancers, they are endowed with enviable intuition and emotionality. Another common feature that unites the signs is the extreme degree of jealousy. It has a very negative effect on relationships, especially since in most cases it is not justified or supported by facts.
Idealism, secrecy and prudence make it difficult to build relationships with them both at the initial stage and in the more immediate period. Scorpio will try to prick with a caustic sting of ridicule or sudden checks.
They are very distrustful, no less than Cancers, and are great owners in relation to everyone who is at least in the least close to them.
This water sign strangely combines passion and emotion with cold calculation and sobriety. In the service field, such a person can achieve a lot, but in his personal life it will be difficult to find a person to whom Scorpio can fully open up. Because of this, a series of dubious novels and love failures arises, after which the representatives of the sign become even more distrustful.
Despite a number of negative features, this sign is immensely popular with others due to its ebullient energy and charisma. They can easily captivate the team with their ideas, and after that they themselves can cool down to their projects. This is how their peculiar changeable nature manifests itself, because Scorpio's mood can change ten times a day. Inconsistency and irascibility are the main enemies of the sign on the way of building harmonious relationships with others. They are too intolerant of other people's weaknesses and demanding of people, which is why they themselves suffer because of their hypertrophied idealism.
Love compatibility
We can say that both representatives of the zodiacal circle will be very lucky if they can meet each other at an early age. This will save the guy and the girl from trial and error in a failed relationship. If there are any couples that are one hundred percent compatible, it is Scorpio and Cancer. The beginning of their relationship is usually very bright. They write books and make films about such novels. They are drawn to each other with insane strength, and in their relationships they simply stop noticing those around them.
Due to the fact that partners and in bed are ideal for each other, they can spend (if possible) together for just weeks. Then, however, there may be a period of confusion and cooling. If the relationship develops along this path, it is very important for the couple to try to get through this first difficult period as calmly as possible. Then they can build long-term strong relationships.
It will not be difficult for any of them to conquer a representative of a related element, because they literally breathe in unison. Common interests, goals and similar views on life - they are united by too much, and they understand each other literally from a half-word. Relationships in such a pair are based on the intuitive feeling of the partner and his deepest needs.
Representatives of one element, endowed with fantastic intuition, succeed quite simply.
It is good if in a love relationship a man is Scorpio and a woman is Cancer. They will form an archetypal model of relationships between representatives of opposite sexes. The purposeful and seductive Scorpio man will be able to conquer the quiet and homely Cancer girl with his charisma, intelligence and reliability. The only thing is that at first he should not behave too persistently and assertively, as this can scare off a careful lady of the heart.
Both in this pair do not have rose-colored glasses, and they are able to soberly assess each other. Everyone sees the flaws of a partner and loves him with all the traits of character, because even his negative sides are correlated by lovers with their weaknesses and are able to pity the other in a relationship, taking his place. Such a union is attractive because it gives both spiritual development and genuine feelings.
If in a couple the woman is Scorpio, and the man is Cancer, then a rather interesting relationship can turn out if she shows a little wisdom. An active and restless person will be irritated from the very beginning by the slowness of the partner, his mood, which is dull at times. In addition, she will most likely urge the chosen one in the business field, strive to promote him. A struggle for the role of the main thing in a relationship is possible. Formally and in fact, it will be a Scorpio woman. Such a situation, with all the mildness of Cancer, will sicken his male pride.
To harmonize relations, Scorpio will have to show feminine wisdom and push the companion to the desired actions not so persistently and more imperceptibly. She herself will have to become softer, at least outwardly. A man in this duet should sometimes also listen to the aspirations and wishes of his companion. Then the combination of their strongest qualities will only make both more successful. They are always ready to help each other out, substituting a faithful and reliable shoulder.
Cancer and Scorpio have common traits that are not entirely attractive. Both are terrible jealous, even if the other half is completely trustworthy. They are quite touchy and rancorous, and Scorpio is more offended. Even a bad joke can make him feel bad.
Cancers, on the other hand, usually quietly and silently accumulate their resentment, moving away from their partner, while his fellow elementary person simply waits for an opportune moment, accumulating anger in order to take revenge more strongly on occasion.
Family perspective
If in some random way the paths of these representatives of the water element intersect, then they can make up a very strong married couple to the envy of many. Their relationship can begin with meeting in a park or on the shore of a quiet reservoir, where both love to walk so much, and continue for many decades. They will be brought together even by common preferences during their pastime. Avoiding noisy companies, both will enjoy spending time in a cozy house with their soul mate or in nature.
In marriage, in any situation, they will invariably support each other, no matter what happens. They clearly understand their goals and see a common future. This union is also supported by a solid material foundation, because such a tandem can accomplish the impossible. The spouses will not fight and flaunt their successes to each other.Everyone clearly knows their role and performs the functions most suitable for their strengths and abilities. Scorpio does an excellent job of making money, and the thrifty Cancer multiplies and thrifty uses the financial resources of the family.
Sexual compatibility of the spouses is quite safe. Scorpios are wonderful lovers, passionate and sensual, prone to experimentation. Making love is their element. They will appreciate the subtle sensuality of Cancer, which is hidden behind external modesty and at first restrained behavior. The Cancer woman will not immediately reveal to her partner, but will appreciate his sophistication in bed. The Cancer man has no less potential than Scorpio, but is rarely able to talk about his desires and fantasies. He will be grateful to his brave and relaxed partner.
A husband born under the constellation of Cancer is an ideal family man, an example of nobility and kindness. He just lives the life of his family, its smallest daily needs, adores his wife and pampers children. Continuation of the family, preservation of traditions - for him the meaning of life. He would rather spend evenings with his family than with friends. His half, born under the sign of Scorpio, on the contrary, can get carried away, start small, meaningless intrigues. At the same time, Cancer should not fear for his honor - his wife will always be faithful to him. She will be able to submit many bold ideas and push to their implementation, give fire to relationships. The only thing you shouldn't play with is with Cancer's trust.
Having blown it up once, it will be difficult to restore.
The Scorpio man can become a reliable but complex life partner. Often he shows outbursts of anger and aggression, which can be very painful for his wife. Quiet, caring, she doesn't deserve this behavior. And Scorpio, of course, appreciates her work on the arrangement of the common life and contribution to the common family business. He should not neglect his friend's peace of mind. But her loyalty can be vouched for. Although she is successful with men, she is simply incapable of betrayal, because she has the deepest emotional and spiritual affection for her partner.
The couple easily overcomes minor family troubles, simply not considering it possible to quarrel over trifles. Their best assistant in the fight against misunderstanding is a good sense of humor. The ability to translate an offense or an imminent conflict into a joke, it is easier to relate to some things is very important for this married couple. However, here you have to be more careful, since both are very proud. A friendly joke should be distinguished from evil irony, a desire to prick or ridicule the personality of a loved one. They should not go to extremes, because then, balancing on the basis of the golden mean, the husband and wife will be able to live in love, happiness and respect for many years.
The only weakness of such a union is the tendency of the signs of the zodiac to get carried away with something, to become addicted. They need to be moderate in everything: bad habits, sex, gambling. With the pernicious addiction of one partner, it is highly likely that the second will turn on his path. Irregularity in everything, dishonesty and promiscuity in relationships can destroy a family.
Relationships in friendship
Such people do not believe in friendship between a man and a woman, but it is with these signs that it exists. They can carry it through their whole life, becoming friends in the garden or elementary school. Moreover, this will be a truly pure relationship, not clouded by the hopes of one of them for further rapprochement. Of course, it is possible that such friendship will develop into love over time, but only with the mutual desire of both.
If one of the friends has views of another in a couple, then, rather, he will break the friendship, but will not break the relationship. They are very comfortable together, since no one else can understand each of them so much.
Ideally, friends are not attracted to each other as members of the opposite sex.
Strong friendships are possible due to a large amount of time spent together, because their hobbies and interests are as similar as possible. They feel each other literally on some subtle level, which is not always clear to those around them. Cancer and Scorpio are very open with each other, they can always tell a friend in the face what they think. At the same time, they will try to do it so tactfully so as not to hurt feelings. Ready to help at any time, they know exactly who they can count on in return.
Interaction at work
The best combination in a working relationship would be a Scorpio boss and a Cancer subordinate. The duet of equal colleagues of these signs is also good. Together they are capable of much, as they are hardworking, active, purposeful and persistent. Each has its own advantages and important business qualities. Both, working in close tandem, can compensate for each other's missing skills.
So, Cancer takes a long time to get up to speed. He makes decisions with difficulty, but he copes well with painstaking and monotonous work. He will make a good financier under CEO Scorpio. It is important for Cancer that he has enough time to thoroughly familiarize himself with the situation and draw up his own competent opinion.
Scorpio is quick and agile, he can sketch out a plan for a future project and immediately transfer it to his business partner for execution, immediately losing interest in the case. He is in a hurry to get as much new information, contacts and opportunities as possible to implement his grandiose ideas.
The business compatibility of these zodiac signs is excellent. Together they can far outstrip their competitors, since they will not compete in a pair and will not fight for a place in the sun. They will better direct their energy to a creative channel and to the solution of work issues. The combination of Cancer's creative abilities and Scorpio's rational rationalism favorably distinguishes them among many. Thanks to the ability to understand each other literally by their views, they save a lot of time and are able to quickly resolve any situation, because they do not need to prove or explain something for a long time.
Child-parent relationship
Cancers and Scorpios are wonderful parents, taking care of their growing offspring with care and trepidation. The same character traits that interfere with harmony and their mutual union can become a problem to understanding with your own children.
Scorpios are owners who are very demanding of the child.
This goes so far that they strive to dictate everything to children: from the choice of a hobby and future profession to the circle of friends and friends. Cancers are overly anxious parents who literally shake from every breeze and sneeze of the baby. They strive to create maximum comfort and coziness, providing the child with everything necessary, caring for and guiding his interests.
Scorpio should put less pressure on the child and give him the opportunity to choose. Let the little man make his mistakes, especially if they are not so serious. The desire of the perfectionist Scorpio to give all the possibilities for realization to a son or daughter is commendable, but often such a parent embodies his unrealized ambitions for some reason.
Cancer, on the other hand, is too democratic. In the desire to become a friend to the child, it is still worth remembering about moderation. No less important than freedom and self-expression, the ability to understand the rules of conduct in society and respect for the authority of elders.
Possible conflicts
Despite the impressive compatibility, even in such a harmonious pair, problems can arise from time to time. Knowing about possible difficulties in relationships, partners will be able to work on themselves and start looking for common ground even before misunderstandings and conflicts arise on this basis.
According to the spouses, Cancer often behaves like a hidden aggressor. He does not shout or insult the opponent, but tends to arrange emotional blackmail.Without expressing their point of view directly, such a partner will complain that he is not loved, understood and appreciated. In order to avoid such an effect, Scorpio should show more restraint during quarrels, which is not easy for the representatives of the sign to be sharp-tongued.
Both companions often harbor grievances, internally becoming even more inflamed. Under external decency, they can hide volcanoes of anger and indignation. Psychologists recommend that such a husband and wife communicate more and not hide their dissatisfaction with various aspects of family life until it accumulates in order to develop into a big scandal.
Despite the reasonable attitude to money in both, disagreements may arise in the family on this issue. Cancers are very frugal, even to the point of stinginess. They will not spend an extra penny on themselves, but they will always find finances for what they need for the family. Scorpio, on the other hand, is less sensitive to money. He knows how to make money, but he also spends more easily.
This outrages his zealous partner, especially if Scorpio did not agree with his spouse in large spending.
In general, Cancer and Scorpio, despite minor inconsistencies, are very similar, they can easily find harmony and come to an understanding in a relationship. A strong union will strengthen the common family business and traditions that both signs love so much. With the right desire and strong love, they can overcome any difficulties in life.
