Everyone knows at least one couple that makes you believe that opposites attract. And there's a good chance that the steamy couple of opposites in your friend group is a Capricorn man and a Cancer woman. While they're clearly very different, those differences complement each other and create a ton of chemistry.
The Capricorn Man
He's a buttoned-down business guy with a load of ambition. A Capricorn man is a rock-solid and responsible person who puts a lot of pressure on himself. He's a leader and fixer who willingly helps and lets others lean on him. He has the wisdom and patience to endure life's restrictions, frustrations, and difficulties. A Capricorn man can be a lonely, depressed man who's deathly afraid of failure and poverty. Why? Because he worries that if he fails, he won't be able to take care of himself and his world, including his family.
The Cancer Woman
The Cancer woman has an ambitious, forceful personality, but she doesn't trust easily and is terrified of being hurt. Her soft side is often hidden beneath a hard, calm, controlled exterior. However, behind that calm exterior is a highly emotional woman who's deeply sensitive, easily hurt, self-protective, and evasive. She's also a caregiver who's supportive of others in the most protective, nurturing, and loving ways. She's a homebody who values hearth, home, and family above all else.
Capricorn Man and Cancer Woman Attraction Compatibility
Whether a Capricorn and Cancer are friends, coworkers, business partners, lovers, or mates, they seek security, consistency, and fidelity in relationships. At their best, they naturally compensate for the other's weak points. They're like different sides of the same coin — different but better when together.
Security Is Important to Both of Them
It's important to both a Capricorn man and a Cancer woman to feel secure — not just in their relationship, but also in their financial future. And with his career focus and ambition, he can provide what she needs materially. Meanwhile, her emotional supportiveness and nurturing personality provide what he needs emotionally.
Their Differences Are Complementary
She admires his drive. He admires how loving she can be. Her family focus makes up for and softens his career focus.
They're Both Fiercely Loyal to Partners & Family
One thing you can say about both a Cancer woman and a Capricorn man is that once they're in, they're totally in. And they'll each do whatever it takes to protect the family they've built, which gives them staying power.
His Emotional Steadiness Balances Her Volatile Emotions
Cancers are incredibly emotional, while Capricorns are as steady as they come. So when she's spiraling, he can pull her back from the brink. And her emotional nature can help loosen him up.
They Can Have Powerful Chemistry
There's undoubtedly chemistry. He's a sensual guy who pursues good sex like it's his job (which is a good thing for her since he's totally into his job), and she's a super emotional lover. The depth of love and bonding these two can experience when in bed with one another can have a transformative, healing effect on a couple who both have a deep-seated fear of rejection and unrequited love.
Capricorn Man & Cancer Woman Problems
Of course, no relationship, no matter how steamy, is without its problems. And while their differences are often complementary, they can still create challenges in a Capricorn-Cancer relationship.
He May Think She's Clingy
A Cancer woman can be a moody, unpredictable, and temperamental partner who needs constant emotional connection, support, and encouragement. A Capricorn man needs time alone and finds it difficult to share his emotions or appreciate the feelings of others. This difference can become exaggerated when they argue and fight. A Cancer woman can feel as if he's pushing her away, while a Capricorn man can feel she's become smothering in her need for attention.
Their Fights Can Bring the Entire Relationship Down
An angry Capricorn man won't argue; he'll withdraw and give her the silent treatment. When a Cancer woman is angry, she backs into her shell and sulks. She suppresses her anger until she no longer can. Her dramatic emotional outbursts will throw a Capricorn man off guard and push him away. When a Capricorn man and a Cancer woman argue, they can repel one another. They both have long memories, so making amends will take time, tolerance, and understanding.
He Struggles With Emotion & She Steeps in It
Emotions are not a Capricorn man's strong point. He's so focused on the practical and material parts of life that he can find it hard to understand things like emotions and intuition. A Cancer woman is highly intuitive and in touch with her emotions.
Ideally, the Capricorn man will learn to appreciate and honor his Cancer woman's intuitive, emotional nature and incorporate more feelings into his interactions with others. She will discover there are times when the emotions and feelings of others must be sacrificed to get important things done.
A Capricorn Man & a Cancer Woman Have Complementary Compatibility
These two can be quite compatible if they can appreciate how complementary their differences are. It won't always be easy, but it will almost always be worth it when a Capricorn man and a Cancer woman connect.
