Cancer and Capricorn compatibility
74% Overall match · Opposites attract (opposition)
The relationship
Opposite signs are two halves of the same theme, so the attraction is strong. Each of you has exactly what the other is missing. When you balance each other it's magnetic; when you pull in opposite directions it's tiring. Meeting in the middle is everything.
Elements: Water & Earth
Water nourishes earth: this is a caring, stable mix. Earth gives water security, water gives earth emotional depth, and together you build a warm, safe home. Speak up about feelings instead of keeping the peace in silence.
