Cancer Compatibility

Tradition has it Cancer will be most attracted to Capricorn, and it’s no wonder. The goat’s realistic, stern, and straightforward demeanor must fascinate the crab, who can’t help but take everything personally and approach things sideways. It’s said that Cancer is most compatible
with other water signs Scorpio and Pisces, individuals with an instinctual connection to the unconscious that makes them easy for the sea-loving crab to be around. After all, Cancer’s natural habitat is liminal, the shore being where water and land meet.

On the other hand, conventional wisdom has it that Aries, Libra, and Capricorn (unfortunately, given the attraction) can be expected to bring out the worst in Cancer, as these fellow cardinal signs expect others to fall in line behind their lead, an unnatural subordination for those born in late June and the better part of July. Such is the conventional wisdom, but does this thinking still apply? See what professional astrologer Nancy Fenn has to say about today’s modern couples.
