             Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. The Moon is a warm, feminine energy and Saturn a cold masculine energy.

Cancer will show Capricorn how to enjoy life and how to appreciate beauty and comfort. Cancer soothes Capricorn's hard edges, while the Sea goat provides a solid foundation that Cancer desperately craves.

Earth Signs are about possessions, and the Cancer-Capricorn partners usually surround themselves with beautiful things -- a stately home, gorgeous artwork, expensive cars. Their desire to be economically stable and their love of finery ensures that this couple will work hard toward this and other shared goals.  Additionally, they are a practical pair, and they rarely have problems caused by one partner trying to live ostentatiously or beyond their means.

             Cancer and Capricorn are Cardinal Signs. Both are initiatory, active and ardent. Though this can be a catalyst for some dynamite conflicts, it can provide Capricorn with an emotional pillar, as Cancer is entirely dedicated to the relationship.

These Signs will work well together if Capricorn and Cancer can each work in their own area of expertise.

             The best aspect of the Cancer-Capricorn relationship is their utter dedication to each other and their mutual commitments toward the same goals. Both partners enjoy luxury and nice things, and aren't afraid of a little hard work to get them. Their mutual interests, stringent morality and upward spiraling make theirs a highly compatible relationship.
