✦ COMPATIBILITY ✦
♋ Cancer × ♑ Capricorn
You are each other's missing half and each other's mirror. The pull is magnetic; the fight is always about the same thing, forever.
This is Earth and Water — steadiness meeting depth, the classic safe harbour.

The place this pairing actually breaks is predictable — the Cancer habit is that they go quiet instead of stating the problem, and expect to be understood without having said anything. Meanwhile Capricorn needs respect and patience while they warm up. Being rushed emotionally makes them formal, not closer.
