Do Capricorns and Cancer make a good match?

What are the relationship dynamics between the two,

and can they work out?

hi elle789, and welcome... you can of course google this pairing, but if you're asking for personal experiences, i would say it's supposedly a good match. i am a cap and i dated a cancer but it was short-lived as he was too docile for me. he was so very sweet though...just no spark really and he was just....boring. i have a sweet friend who is a cancer and she, on the other hand, is the life of the party! she's so entertaining. soooo it really matters where both of your other placements are (moon, venus, etc). been dating your cancer for long?

My Cancer had a troubled home life but was always provided for when she was young. Dad rode a bike most of his life....really MOST OF HIS LIFE. He had diabetes but he took riding that damn bike to a whole new level, like Lance Armstrong. He'd ride it to work, then ride it after work up mtns. and shit. Wouldnt get home till 10 or 11. Selfish man...but made sure household was taken care of. This is not all he did but I wont go into the other 4 things.

Cancer was very quick, beautiful, big-hearted, Christian, and could chew a hole right through you for an extended period of time if allowed to do so...she was seriously trill. We had chemistry just like the movies, but her upbringing started to surface when she got real comfortable. In the end she outsmarted herself (which I tried to keep from happening because I wanted her confidence to stay up) bc she had a LOT...I mean BIG insecurities for no reason. No matter how much you tell her you love her, she looks great, hug her, kiss her whatever, tell her youre impressed that she breezes through academics...it is just not enough for some people. I learned a lot from her especially the things that I WASNT.

I wanted to give a short backdrop to your question first.

The Cancers Ive met have been extremely interesting and very lively people. THEY do things, have no inhibitions, and love life. One of my best friends Jorge (Hispanic) is a Cancer. He skydives, is in an independent film in Greensboro called "Ballz Count Anywhere, does graphic arts for some private small businesses, went to St. Lucia..he just keeps going, salsa, merengue, bachata you name it he gets it in and maintains.

Cancer Carmen was the same, but with problems.

Conclusion: Cancers are AWESOME if home life is balanced. opinion

I think they do but OMG cancer women get really hurt over caps cold behavior.

@Tiki...,.Yes we do. It takes some adjusting to do..and a understanding.

yeah softy I have read some cancer woman's stories about the experiences they have with cap men and it's heartbreaking, I dunno if it's worth it least for the cancer woman, she has to grow a hard inner shell...thick skin

I'm just wondering how Pisces women are able to deal with it...and why its so much harder for Cancer women? Seeing that we are bot supposed to be quite needy and sensitive?

Meant to say mutable....little tipsy. If thats even what it is. But yall know what I mean (:

I was in a 4 yr relationship with a Cancer. He did at times find me to be cold and there were moments he thought I worked too much (well, he had it in his mind I was seeing someone else and not working). Cancers are crabby, no doubt about that! But, I really struggled with his negative attitude all of the time. Whatever it was I would tell him to get over it and move on or do something about it. He took the stance that it was what it was and that's what life dished out. My sister and brother are both Cancer's too (my brother a Leo cusper) and they too both are rather negative - my brother's the worst though, he's got a chip on his shoulder like you wouldn't believe. Erks me when someone wants to complain about the way things are in whatever aspect of their life and don't want to make a concerted effort to even try to change it.

lildoll I agree totally. Thats the one thing that gets all over me. A complainer-type that uses the oh whatever will be will be song. But yet cry all day about undesirable situations. Just saying I know what you mean. And yeah, a real thought out concerted effort to take the reigns in ones life is all a Cap needs to see. Overcome that mtn. like the goat and never give up, IF you're serious about change. Pop always said the dumbest thing to do is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results.

Very strong potential from my experience it turned into a love/hate that still lingers from time to time. I'd like to try another Cap one day who isn't a typical Cap. The Cap I dealt with came at me unwarranted about a lot of things that weren't his business at all. The lecturing and very dominant fatherly role they try to play can be irritating to Cancers. Yes we are submissive and like to let someone else take the lead, but we don't need a man acting so dominant like our father, even telling me this discussion is over or we're done talking about it like I'm his child. But like I said it has very strong potential because Caps have so many qualities that a Cancer woman is looking for can they can provide the emotional security and be a great provider for their families. It's like their designed that way all the Cap guys I've met anyway.

I could see it working beautifully.

In my personal experience, I dated a cancer a long long time ago when I was young and we had a whole lot of respect and appreciation for each other. It ended because he cheated. Fortunately I was level headed enough to realize neither of us were completely invested, so getting over it wasnt tough.

Since then I've noticed the chemistry between myself and cancer guys is always instantaneous. However it's never really launcehd off from there. Cancer guys.... while great people... seem to get impatient with me very easily. Definitely a little too assumptive of where they stand with me as well. And for someone like me... that kind of thing is really irritating. So early on, something like that screams 'im a cry baby' and i just cant tolerate pouting. I like a man to be just that... a man. Not that I see cancers guys as cry babies... it's just that some of their behavior literally makes me cringe. Just my recent personal experience! With several cancer guys! So odd... we hit it off great then things crash! And I guess the strong chemistry would make them frustrated with me wanting to move so steadily. Hey, what can I say?! I'm cap through and through!... Cusp or not!

A good friend of mine, cap guy, is married to a cancer lady. They are going strong.

My best friend is a cancer chic... she and I are like peanut butter and jelly. She may very well be my better half. And she'd say the same about me.

I'm sure my exp with cancers isnt the best cross section of the males of this sign. I think it'd be great to be in a committed relationship with one... I really could see it working out blissfully. Cancer Cap relationship seems to be the definition of compliment. Despite my personal exp, I have not lost faith by any means!

he was extremely moody, selfish, manipulated and attention seeking from girls. it was like heaven in the 1st week and hell the rest lol.

The Cancer I was with would dress up to go to the dentist office - talk about getting defensive when I asked him about getting dressed up to go to the dentist! All about impressing the ladies...

My girlfriend (an Aries) had a Cancer bf that was identical in that respect... turned out he cheated on her with the woman who cut his hair (this was after he took my girlfriend's dog to the vet and asked the receptionist for her phone number!) She and I have both sworn off Cancers! Cancer men, in my experience, are manipulative, slutty, bastards...

I think Pisces is the best water sign match for a Capricorn. Cancer/Cap is 50/50 probably better as friends, and I hear a lot of mixed reviews of Scorpio/Capricorn.. not sure got a friend in a complicated relationship with one, and I have heard it benefits the capricorn more than the scorpio or can be best friends. I cannot picture my scorpio bestie with a cap though she will drive him crazy lol.

ive never dated a pisces...i need to date you water girls more. i have alot of scorpio in my main placements. mars and ascendant. wouldnt that make me dangerous? mysterious? a puzzle waiting to be explored by an inquisitive female? i swear i have no luck with women....

but as for cancers with caps...could work depending on a few things. i had a cancer friend with scorp ascendant...not sure now since we dont speak much. kinda lost that passion and flame of friendship or we are tooo busy for each other. although i wish things went back to the way they were when we talked about anything. shes too picky for me always has to be what she wants these days. i dont like that in any female.

im liking your style everyday....lol. control freaks annoy me. i like passive people who are like...ok we can talk about anything and actually enjoy it...

you do your job as best you can. screw their critisism unless you are doing something wrong. then its best to give in to that advice cause mistakes kill people in my line of work lol. well not really but can be expenssive...

oh wow. ever heard of a falcon punch? they both get one.

you shall be mine forever cappy loveeeee. muahahahahaha *chases* jk...im passive...and my venus is in aqua...cold and aloof anyone?

Coming to a final conclusion no.... If Capricorns are to mess with any of the water signs I still say Pisces. That's the only one I've really seen them last with. I can see Caps and Cancers having violent fights, but I've found even with their cold emotional nature, cancer seems to wound them more than u would think they would the cancer. But then again in my experience I don't really make it a point to keep relationships going with cap males.

i like sophisticated women 😆 and no...im only passive in public. i have yet to try myself in the bedroom haha. no doubt i am very passionate and i can handle anything dearest cappy gal. i am like a rock. a mountain that cant be moved. your aggressive behavior is just what i would need no doubt lol. yin and yang baby...lol

besides i never have dated another cap before...interesting *drinks from bottle of rum*

Oh wow that is so cool i Actually hear someone is who has Cancer moon that is a Scorpio I have as my Ascendant Scorpio
or you emotional to the Extreme sometimes? I have Cancer moon and my Sun sign in cancer but i also have pluto in scorpio and three planets in Capricorn.

Well yeah, it's nothing new to me. Doesn't mean it still doesn't annoy from time to time.

"WE WANT OUR SALAD BEFORE OUR ENTREES!!" ...duh? "OH CAN SHE HAVE THE SOUP FIRST??" ...yeah it's coming. Calm the hell down cookiemonster.

I can relate to that Just like my Job always negative pepl surrounding me Calm the hell down LOLZ I work @ Mcdonalds.

ew fastfood work isnt for me. but my job requires costumer service.....ugh.

Ay...I don't think caps and cancers make a good match. I've been "chasing" a cap girl who works near me for a year now. Talk about ups and downs. From the beginning we were both instantly attracted to eachother...took us a lil while to start dating but when we did, it was even better. I felt a compatibility and unity with her like I've never felt with any other sign. I still do to this day when we have a lil bit of time to hang out together at work. But...just like true opposites..it seems we can never truly converge and get together. Either I take a step forward and she takes one back...or vice versa, hence the aforementioned ups and downs.

Honestly I like the girl more than any other girl I've talked to/dated in the past few years...but it just doesn't seem like it'll ever be. Do I think the relationships between caps and cancers have potential? Hell yeah they do...the chemistry is all there...its just if both sides will completely yield to eachother and accept eachother as they are.
