Cancer and Scorpio understand each other where words can't reach. This is an intense, protective and very loyal couple. Few pairs feel so accompanied, though they know storms well too.
How you fit together
This is the most harmonious match in the zodiac. You share an element and a way of feeling. Being together comes naturally, as if you'd known each other forever.
Cancer and Scorpio in love
Scorpio finds in Cancer someone who isn't scared off by their intensity, and Cancer finds in Scorpio the total devotion they've always looked for. You shield each other from the world, share secrets no one else knows and build a bond that's very hard to break. Once trust is earned, it's nearly absolute. Cancer feels that someone finally takes them seriously, and Scorpio that they can finally let their guard down.
The problems come from the fact that you're both very sensitive. You remember every wound, and when you hurt each other the silence weighs like a stone. Scorpio can be jealous and controlling, and Cancer touchy and changeable. When the air gets heavy, neither wants to be the first to be vulnerable. If you learn to say what hurts before it festers, this relationship can heal a lot in both of you.
You seek each other with intensity and tenderness at once, and everything revolves around trust. If a wound is left open, the distance shows right away, so it's best to talk before reaching for each other.
As friends
Confidants for life. What's said between you stays between you, and if one calls at 3 a.m., the other shows up without asking questions.
At work
Scorpio brings strategy and Cancer intuition, and together you read people very well. Cancer softens Scorpio's harshness with the team, and Scorpio protects Cancer from anyone trying to take advantage. Try not to mix everything up with your personal life.

Your elements
Two water signs feel each other fully and understand each other without speaking. The danger is drowning together in the same fears.
Your modalities
One proposes and the other sustains. It works if the cardinal sign respects the fixed sign's pace and the fixed sign lets itself be moved now and then.
When you forgive, do it completely, without saving the hurt for the next fight.
