The Cancer/Scorpio combination can work very harmoniously. Both Cancer and Scorpio are water signs, concerned with the expression of deep emotion. Cancer is concerned with emotional nurturing and being nurtured. Scorpio embraces life with a passionate and total intensity, going through powerful transformative experiences. These two women will feel a strong emotional bond. The Cancer woman will give her Scorpio partner a complete committment as she gives her all to everything she involves herself with.
Each woman is usually able to feel what the other experiences, but at times they will have trouble understanding each other. The Cancer woman approaches life with a much softer touch than the Scorpio. Cancer is highly sensitive but has a capacity to both give and take a lot of pain. Scorpio pursues whatever she feels is right with a passionate and relentless determination, and if necessary she will not shrink from causing another pain in the process. The super-sensitive Cancer will sometimes be wounded by her Scorpio partner's barbed words, as the Scorpio woman will say some things very bluntly in the cause of truth.
The Scorpio woman enjoys her Cancer partner's tenderness and sentimentality, but she sometimes becomes impatient with the Cancer's emotional neediness. Scorpio is very emotional, yet she is also a very strong, resourceful individual. She will resist being overly solicitous of the Cancer woman's feelings. The Scorpio woman will need to stretch herself to empathize with her Cancer partner's need for emotional security and the Cancer woman will need to learn not to lean so much on her Scorpio partner for emotional support. If she can learn this she will find that she will always have all the support she really needs.
The emotional bond between these two women is so strong that it can enable them to overcome these difficulties. The Cancer woman will learn to be stronger and more independent, and the Scorpio woman will learn to soften her tendency to be harsh and abrupt with other people, because of her relationship with her Cancer partner. Sexually, these two women should be very compatible because both are deeply emotional and passionate in their approach to love.
