The Positives

The Cancer man gives the Capricorn woman all the attention she so eagerly craves. She will be very attracted to him, because he’s mindful and very interested in making her happy.

It’s very likely he will build a cozy home for both of them to enjoy the finest things they have bought together. When he has a rough day and going through some emotional issues, she will be there to comfort him.

Neither of them is hurried to make decisions, and when they face a difficult situation, they weigh all the pros and cons.

The Goat woman will be very cautious from their very first dates. She’ll immediately feel he’s emotional and that he needs to be supported in his most melancholic moments. He will like that she’s grounded and in the same time has a rich imagination.

In bed, these two will do their job and nurture each other with a lot of love. They have a passionate connection and they can fall in love very strongly.

She will like that he pays attention to every little detail. They will both be dedicated and loyal. And this will only make them stronger as a couple.

One is ambitious, the other has persistence, so they will be successful at whatever they do together. He will be more than happy to let her take the lead and deal with all the responsibilities. She will be relaxed knowing he can handle all the things that she may miss.

The Negatives

Sitting in opposite positions on the zodiac wheel, the Cancer man and the Capricorn woman may face some difficulties as a couple.

For example, they both find it hard to open up. These two have the habit of keeping things to themselves until they bottle up. Even when going through bad times, they are the same. And this may cause their relationship to fall apart.

The Cancer man needs to be reassured the Capricorn woman loves only him. But she can be too cold and distant for him to feel secure with her.

It’s because she focuses too much on her career and she forgets about the ones who love her. She can hurt him a lot with her attitude. And he won’t react openly. He’ll just retreat in his shell and won’t allow anyone to get in.

This is something that annoys the Capricorn woman and thus, they will fight. He may think she doesn’t have emotions and will get very upset.

The partners in this couple need to be patient with one another, or they’ll soon break up because they are so different. When he sees her so indifferent, he’ll want to walk away forever. She won’t even have the time to take things off the ground because he’ll already be gone.

Long-Term Relationship and Marriage Prospects

The Capricorn woman and the Cancer man will grow closer together when they face trouble. Their relationship will be the rock they stand on.

It’s good that they both want something long-term and are family oriented. Not to mention they want to be parents, so they’ll be great at raising children together.

A marriage will only be beneficial. In love with one another, these two will never be unfaithful. She will spoil him, and he will feel secure knowing he’s with someone devoted. It’s true she’s not the warmest person on Earth, but at least she will be there for him in times of need.

The money maker of the zodiac, the Capricorn woman will teach the Cancer man how to be more successful in what he does.

As a matter of fact, she’s the only one who can help him focus on career and financial issues. He will feel the luckiest man in the world knowing he has such a woman next to him.

His respect and struggles to make her happy will be recognized and appreciated. Tender, the Cancer man will help the Capricorn woman be more romantic and passionate. If not, his sensitivity will be tremendously tried by her practical attitude.

The differences in how they approach life and their own emotions are going to make the Cancer man-Capricorn woman couple fall apart from time to time. She must understand her man is moody and that she can’t change that about him.

At least they will trust one another more than any other couple out there. And this trust will grow in time. Because they are different, they will never get bored. But they need to learn how to make an advantage rather than a disadvantage out of all this.

Final Advice for the Cancer Man and the Capricorn Woman

Capricorns never change their mind after they have made a decision, and the Cancer man should know this if he’s with a Goat woman.

In the same time, the Capricorn woman should know the Cancer man will never make the first move. It’s because Cancers are terrified of being rejected. Instead of risking to be humiliated, this man will prefer to hide under his shell and never get out.

The Capricorn woman will always trust that she has made the right decision. Cancers take their time to weigh all the pros and cons before deciding on something. It’s because they wouldn’t stand failure or to be rejected.

The Cancer man will always want security from his loved one. The Capricorn woman is looking to advance in her career. They would complement one another very well.

One of the most nurturing signs in the zodiac, a Cancer will take care of his partner like no one else can. When he courts, this man will pay attention to every little detail, will want to know the partner is feeling the same, and will do his best to please. It doesn’t matter what his date talks about, he will listen with interest and will provide the best advice he can.

While acting like she needs no one, the Capricorn woman will find this caring attitude interesting and will want a second and a third date with a man who’s so attentive and caring. Little by little, these two will build a beautiful relationship.

If he’s the one who wants her attention, he should help her relax after a long day at work. It’s essential he helps her focus on something else than business, because this woman can be very obsessed with her career.

But because he wants her to detach, this doesn’t mean he won’t be supportive of her professional life. On the contrary, he will want her to achieve success more than anyone else.

If she’s the one who wants to attract him, she needs to initiate everything. He can be quite passive when it comes to making the first move. She can impress him by talking about her work and how much money she makes. Besides, it’s important the Capricorn woman shows he’s attracted by the Cancer man, as he needs to be sure about this in order to take further action.

Both these signs are cardinal, only one is Water and the other Earth. Saturn governs the Capricorn, while the Cancer is ruled by the emotional Moon. Saturn symbolizes melancholy.

This means the person in this sign may be weary in a relationship. The Goat woman may let people wonder about her true character because she’s so practical and detached. The fact that she’s always sober and mature will attract the Cancer man, who wants security more than anything else.

They will only get along as a couple if they fill in the gaps that are their differences. Opposite signs can have many separate ways of seeing life.

The Capricorn woman should not take the Cancer man so seriously. His moods are not the end of the world. In return, he is advised to actually take her seriously when she’s talking about her career.
