What happens when these two water signs fall in love? Is there a torrential downpour on the horizon, or can they set sail down a smoothly flowing river of love? For the Scorpio man and Cancer woman, compatibility is quite an instinctive matter, but can it last?
The Scorpio man is attracted to the Cancer woman’s intuition and her loving and nurturing nature. The Cancer woman is attracted to the Scorpio man’s intensity and his swirling emotions – both partners sense that here is someone who will understand them. And indeed, they both know what it’s like to feel strong emotions, and they are both quite moody people, so they do “get” each other on that instinctive level. It would seem that Scorpio man Cancer woman compatibility can get off to a good start.
Both partners here are interested in creating a fulfilling, lasting relationship – however, the Cancer woman probably isn’t counting on quite the level of drama which her relationship with a Scorpio man will bring. He is capable of being quite spiteful when the couple fall out, which will hurt her deeply. Although both partners are at the mercy of their emotions, it will be the Cancer woman, belonging as she does to a cardinal sign, who will drag them both out of the depths and back into the light. The Scorpio man admires this in her, and will try not to hurt her – but he has a vengeful streak, and a manipulative one too, and sometimes he just can’t help himself. For these two highly emotional souls, Scorpio man Cancer woman compatibility isn’t a pain free experience.
It will be an intense relationship, both in and out of the bedroom. This couple are very sexually compatible, and can create a very steamy romance, although the Cancer woman would prefer a little more of the traditional romance and a little less of the full on passion. In everyday life, however, she will soon find that she can’t really rely on her Scorpio man in the way she would like to. His co-operation, or not, depends entirely upon his mood, and he can sometimes be very wilful and almost childish in his behavior. For his part, the Scorpio man will not appreciate the tight reign the Cancer woman tries to put on him. He is a very faithful man, and is not likely to stray, but he doesn’t like her possessiveness – even though he is every bit as possessive himself. The Scorpio man dishes out medicine he would prefer not to take. Scorpio man Cancer woman compatibility can quickly become a battle for the upper hand.
The question of who is in charge in this relationship is a thorny one. The Scorpio man seeks power and control, and he will manipulate people to get it if necessary. The Cancer woman adopts a more passive aggressive stance to get her own way, but it’s still manipulation of a kind. Both partners will begin to resent the other if they don’t get what they want, and their joint sulks can be legendary. This couple can go for a very long time indeed without speaking to each other! Scorpio man Cancer woman compatibility is therefore not as straightforward as you might imagine, but it can work on a deeply emotional level if the Scorpio man learns to tone down his moods and if the Cancer woman learns to draw the line a little more firmly.
Very strange and negative your description!?
I disagree. I am a Cancer woman and recognize a lot of these traits and descriptions within myself. I think it is simply more truthful about possible drawbacks of the relationships.
Agreed. My ex boyfriend haven’t spoken to me for over 9 months since the break up. Not even a word. And there we were making plans of being married once.
I agree, our flat has turned into a bit of a battle field where, he won’t compromise and wants everything his own way!
