Could this relationship be the GOAT?
This is a highly rated combination and one which is frequently seen in real life, as these signs are highly compatible, have much in common, and make diligent, respectful, stoic companions who can thrive in a long-term relationship.
There are many points of astrological compatibility. These are two cardinal signs, as well as two financially ambitious signs, who have a fairly conservative approach to life. Both Cancer and Capricorn are rather serious-minded; they don’t take things lightly. They are risk-averse, and when they commit to something, they want it to be successful.
They are both fairly self-protective signs. Cancer, symbolised by the crab, with its hard outer shell, has claws that protect their tender feelings; Capricorn, of course, is ruled by the planet Saturn, which shows resilience but reserve. Capricorn is symbolised by the goat, the persistent and determined creature that slowly but surely conquers all. Capricorn also has an association with Atlas, with the world on his shoulders, because of the weight of responsibility that Capricorn can bear.
Both zodiac signs are able to deal with responsibility. They are both planners who like to create certainty in their life; therefore, there’s an awful lot they are going to agree upon.
Capricorn is an earth sign and is very compatible with water sign Cancer. They are both feminine signs, and so they are fairly receptive and cooperative. They both like to be helpful and nurturing. There is a good balance of yin and yang energy, Capricorn being a more assertive, direct sign, but Cancer having the feminine qualities of nurturing and protecting, in their intuitive style.
They will both cherish the relationship, and it can become like a fine wine, better and better as years go on.
I give this an 80% chance of success.
Romantic Compatibility
What Cancer needs in romance is to be with a strong character, typically the strong, silent type, someone that exudes a certain cool confidence, a courageous attitude without being overbearing or pushy. That’s what’s great about Capricorn. Capricorn is a slightly reserved sign; they can be very modest and understated. They are generally not the life and soul of the party, but there’s a certain substance to their character, and also a depth and sincerity and that’s what Cancer is really attuned to.
Cancer instinctively knows Capricorn cannot be fake and will not lead them down the garden path.
When it comes to Capricorn, they need a partner who’s very receptive, friendly, and can put them at ease, and Cancer can definitely do that. However, Cancer may have to work harder at being romantically creative because Capricorn does want to have a lot of fun in romance. So Cancer has to make sure that Capricorn is stimulated in terms of all their senses coming alive, and the romance being enjoyable and lively.
The drawback in romance with this cosmic couple is a certain seriousness and reserve which can mean the romance proceeds very slowly. While they are both rather impatient to get to know each other better, they are also quite cautious. So things progress slowly, and it’s not always as spontaneous as it could be. However, since both are fairly aspirational signs, they should enjoy wining, dining, and definitely eating out at sophisticated restaurants together.
Sexual Compatibility
The sexual side of this relationship is not one of the highlights. In fact, it can be adequate; it can even be quite satisfying and reassuring at a basic level, but it may be a little low on excitement.
Cancer is looking for a smidgen of risk in the bedroom, a lover who perhaps challenges them, helps them try new things, and releases their more adventurous energy. Cancer loves to be surprised in the bedroom; they thrive when they don’t quite know what to expect and when there’s something a little unorthodox happening. Capricorn doesn’t necessarily have the skills or willingness to deliver this; they may not even understand that Cancer wants these things at all, because it doesn’t seem obvious. Capricorn can be a little too pragmatic and pedestrian in the sexual arena.
In terms of sex, Capricorn likes a partner who is very assertive, confident, and even a little pushy. They like someone who is not only creative but has a great deal of warmth, who shows a bit of passion in the bedroom or even dominance! Sometimes, although Cancer is loving, they don’t exude enough masculine energy or chutzpah to satisfy Capricorn in bed.
Friendship Between Cancer and Capricorn
These two zodiac mates are firm friends, colleagues, coworkers, and also very good business partners. There is ample mutual respect; they trust each other and are prepared to put their faith in one another.
They often feel complete together, and it’s rewarding for them to spend time doing things as a team.
However, communication is not always as strong as it could be, and that can perhaps undermine the vibrancy in the dynamics of the friendship. Both these zodiac signs struggle with self expression and always err on the side of caution which can be like driving with the break on.
Their friendship is not necessarily one of verbal diarrhea and constant communication; it’s more about doing things they truly enjoy together and experiencing romance and fulfilling moments within the activities.
Cancer loves the earthiness of Capricorn, who is reliable and logical, and Capricorn helps Cancer make sense of things. As for Capricorn, they really enjoy the more nostalgic, sentimental side of Cancer, which appeals to their romantic yearnings.
As friends, they will be able to give each other guidance and advice, and they will certainly enjoy many traditional activities, like writing love letters to each other, listening to music, and perhaps home decorating or property restoration.
Long-Term Potential and Marriage
The awesome thing about this cosmic pair is that both would prefer to be in a long-term relationship. Married life is for them, it completes their destiny as they feel a sense of purpose, and they are both inclined to want to start a family.
There’s also a strong need to create a secure foundation and to start amassing money, perhaps even developing a property portfolio. This is certainly a couple who aspire to move up in the world, to be socially mobile, having a house in a nice part of town, and raising a family. As they are both very dedicated to family and tend to have traditional values, that is a great basis for family life.
One of the problems which can arise in terms of marriage is that they’re both inclined to be a little bit conservative, and together they might not take enough chances. Now, as two cardinal signs, they’re not going to get into a rut like two fixed signs might, but sometimes their life together can begin to feel a bit stale and too predictable. That’s why it’s really helpful if one of them has an Aquarius Moon or rising, or even a hint of Gemini, so that they know when to lighten the mood, improve communication, and add some banter.
Communication is probably not going to be the be-all and end-all for them, and it’s something they both need to work on. They are both inclined to bottle up and soldier on instead of opening up. The key to success in this relationship is to remember: *a problem shared is a problem halved.*
Strengths and Challenges of the Relationship
Two cardinal signs together will motivate each other. There’s a great deal of mutual respect and encouragement fuelling the relationship. They make a good team, and they are very much aligned in terms of values and morals, which should make it easy to raise children and make big decisions, a valuable asset in family life.
Capricorn and Cancer are both fairly reserved, private people. They’re not necessarily known for being gregarious or flamboyant, and yet they do have a big appetite for the good things in life. As a couple, they can achieve a huge amount, and it’s very likely that they’re going to realize their dreams together. They’re a great team for success, and because they’re both serious-minded about relationships, they will work hard and be conscientious about the relationship’s growth and fulfilling each other’s desires.
Capricorn tends to need mothering, they certainly thrive with tender loving care, and what better sign to provide it than Cancer? What Cancer needs, being a Moon-ruled water sign, is an earthy vessel, a container for their fragile emotions, and a partner who has a protective streak, and in that, Capricorn ticks the boxes.
One of the issues in this relationship, however, can be meanness, and I don’t necessarily mean that in a financial sense. When either feels hurt, they’re inclined to become cold and to want to punish the other one by withholding affection, love, or even sex. This can drag the relationship into a place of despair and bitterness, and it’s important that neither plays that game.
The relationship can lack a certain amount of excitement and buzz, so it’s very important that neither gets too bogged down. This relationship can be a case of ‘all work and not enough play’, so it’s vital that this couple remembers to be playful, to appreciate each other, and to make sure that their downtime is truly rewarding, because sometimes they battle to switch off from the work thing.
Communication is not as strong as it could be. They are both good listeners but often prefer to keep their feelings to themselves. They don’t naturally open up, which means the dating process proceeds rather slowly, and neither is particularly effusive. They need to learn to communicate, not only as a way of expressing affection and gaining understanding, but also as a means of creating a fun vibe in the relationship too.
Final Verdict
This is a great zodiac match. I believe that it is one of the top astrological relationship matches, and it has an 80% chance of being successful. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s fast off the blocks or wildly exciting from the get go. The beginning can be a little tentative as both feel each other out, and the romantic process is rather slow, but the romance itself can be awesome.
Capricorn is a very romantic sign, and being an Earth sign, it has the ability to be very sensual and affectionate. Cancer is loving, enjoys nostalgia, movies, literature and together they can have quite a magical time. Love language with this cosmic pair is often about protecting each other, showing respect, and being emotionally in tune, rather than necessarily about their sex life, gifting, or verbal communication.
The love life is very much about being in a rhythm where they totally understand and rely on each other. Reliability and a sense of responsibility to the relationship are other aspects that keep this match in good shape.
Second deacon Cancer is best with Capricorn, and third deacon Capricorn is best with Cancer.
Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
