Notice how you always pull in you polar opposites?  This often occurs in all of our lives, even if we are merely conversing, socializing, or teaming up in business deals with another.  This pull also governs our association with committed or long-term mates as well.  Within the natural Zodiac, Cancer opposes Capricorn.  Remember they are opposite, not similar.  But for one reason or another, the Universe knows what it is doing.  We always attract what we lack in order for balance to be learned.  In order to blend, we must learn to blend!

Cancer experiences emotional drain and strain from Capricorn. Why?  Capricorn teaches the Cancer how to toughen up, how not to cry, or take issues so personally in order not to become hurt so easily.  Capricorn stabilizes Cancer.  Capricorn is known for rigid, corporate, aloof, or cold approaches to emotional issues.  The Cancer teaches Cappy how to soften up a bit and not be afraid to show and express feelings and warmth. 

Cancer will never get the emotional responses it so desires from Capricorn, so learn to live without it, as it’s not Capricorn’s nature to fuss. Cancer will be surprised at how much affection Capricorn can display once Capricorn gets a sample of how it feels when Cancer no longer nurtures or mothers them.  It may take them quite a while, but the message does reach them loud and clear eventually.  Cancer will learn how to keep a stiff upper lip and simply carry on!

If these two polar opposites can some day reach a compromise regarding their different styles of expressing themselves, learn to bend a little, then the blending will begin.  It’s that simple.

Cancer must put aside feelings and use logical approaches when dealing with Capricorn’s more stern demeanor.  Show Capricorn you are considerate, willing to support Capricorn in career goals and accomplishments and that will be sure to put a smile on Capricorn’s face. 

Capricorn in return must learn to appeal to Cancer’s sensitive side and show more appreciation to Cancer.  That is worth a “million bucks” to a Cancer.   A Cancer does not want to hear “I love you” only once, especially if it was expressed ten years ago.  They need expressed love, not gifts by calendar dates when society thinks it is the formal date for such occasions.  You can be certain that when the chips are down, Capricorn will always turn to nurturing Ma Ma Cancer for emotional support.
