Well, traditionally this is considered to be one of the most harmonious Sun Sign combinations, with good prospects for long-term love compatibility and happiness!

Belonging to the same element of Water, Cancer and Scorpio are both ruled by their heart, possess the same high level of sensitivity and share a similarly intuitive approach to life. They also have a genuine respect for each other's talents and abilities – Cancer for Scorpio's courage and strength of character, Scorpio for Cancer's nurturing and home-making skills – and are able to interact creatively in a variety of ways.

Difficulties may arise only as a result of the moody nature of these two signs – with tough-guy Scorpio much less willing and able to talk about its feelings than Cancer who can't help but wear its heart on its sleeve. If the motherly Crab makes the mistake of fussing too much, digging too deep or acting too clingy, it will soon feel the fearsome sting of the Scorpion, who never divulges its secrets or lets itself be controlled.

In general though, there's far too much congeniality and goodwill between Cancer and Scorpio for them to fall out in a major way, and the slight element of tension present between them merely fans the flames of the strong attraction which very often exists. In many ways, these guys were made for each other. The little Crab is always on the lookout for someone to take care of it and who better than powerful Scorpio – always happy to lend a shoulder for others to lean on.
