Cancer With Scorpio Love Compatibility
These are two very needy and two very possessive water signs. Both of them can suffer in relationships, particularly with fire or air signs, such as Cancer with Gemini or Scorpio with Aries.
Both Cancer and Scorpio both need a lot of reassurance or emotional support from their partner; but fire and air signs lack the sensitivity and emotional understanding that is required to deliver this support. This can often leave Scorpio and Cancer feeling jealous, possessive, controlling or even unstable in such a relationship — in turn, this affects self-confidence and happiness.
Cancer Scorpio Compatibility
Scorpio with Cancer’s compatibility is given a huge boost from the fact that they both have similar needs of affection and reassurance, but also have the tendency to be very possessive characters. In fact this gets around two of the biggest problems that face them in relationships. Scorpio’s natural possessiveness is actually beneficial for them with Cancer, because it makes Cancer feel wanted and loved. They have to see clearly expressed their partner’s emotions. With Scorpio they get all the love and reassurance they need.
As Chrissie Blaze points out in her book How to Read Horoscopes in 5 Easy Steps, Cancer is closely connected to the fourth House in the zodiac calendar — Home. They are very caring and supportive; a naturally nurturing sign which works perfectly to reciprocate the affection and attention that Scorpio lavishes on them. This satisfies Scorpio’s own need for reassurance in a relationship. Cancer with Virgo almost run the risk of being too affectionate with each other — Virgo being more naturally independent — but Cancer and Scorpio together can stifle each others’ jealousy with as much affection as they can muster. Together they can then move forward and build a happy, loving and close relationship.
Cancer and Scorpio Relationship
The benefits of Cancer and Scorpio being together are not only limited to satisfying each other’s need for affection, they are also a very compatible match in other areas of their life. Scorpio will help Cancer feel secure, but their strength will also help Cancer to become bolder themselves. As a cardinal sign Cancer is typically an action taker and an instigator; but this boldness is most obvious in their home, or around close friends and family only. Outside of this comfort circle Cancer can have problems with confidence or assertiveness which being with Scorpio can help them get over — it being a powerful sign.
Similarly, Scorpio will get on better in their life having a partner like Cancer. They are mutually beneficial for each other. The close commitment and emotional union between them is just what Scorpio needs. The only issue between the pairing is if they do not like one another. Cancer and Scorpio are very apt to be in a love-and-hate relationship. If a Cancer and Scorpio meet and do not get on then they will never get on; but if there is love for each other on both sides then they will forge a relationship that can stand the test of time and get even better with age.
