Cardinal Water and Fixed Water
Here's a promising match between two emotionally sensitive souls. Right away, they'll sense the depth and mystery of the other. If there's an attraction, it'll set off an irresistable pull -- these two might fall in love at first sight! Scorpio understands Cancer's hard shell, and intuits the sensitivity behind it. Cancer is magnetized by the intensity of Scorpio's gaze and palpable sexuality. As true feelings are revealed, they build a fortress of trust around them by handling each other with care. Their intimate encounters are an "event," that melds them body and soul. Once they've fallen in love, it's hard and even painful to separate.
In the rhythm of relationship, Scorpio needs more space apart, and has a tendency not to divulge all. Cancer has to watch that this doesn't kick up insecurities, and bring out the clingy Crab. Scorpio is understanding, but can grow weary of too much emotional hand-wringing. Cancer could easily take the Scorpion's occasional cutting remarks to heart, and retreat within the shell. They'll have to learn that some things will remain a mystery between them, owing to their complex natures. But strong intuitive and psychic gifts go far in figuring out and healing their relationship issues as they arise.
There's always more to explore, since Cancer and Scorpio have layers of hidden depth. Cancer's loony humor and childlike ways can help Scorpio take the edge off, and drop the seriousness awhile. Scorpio's incredible insights are invaluable to Cancer, and help the moonchild cut through the emotional confusion. Together they make loving parents, or help each other nurture creative ideas into being. Unless there's an egregious betrayal, it's likely to be a long, loving relationship.
