Cancer Woman and Capricorn Man Compatibility
Famous Cancer-Capricorn Couple: Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock; Savannah Brinson and Lebron James (Thanks, Cher).
This is a classic combination of a protective strong male (he is either fatherly or, if living in his shadow, a needy little boy) whose mate plays the role of daughter or mother depending on what else is going on. These two are the greatest “rescuers” (euphemism for suckers) in the zodiac. They fit together even better than most opposites and are likely to stick it out through thick and thin because they worship the marital role … fanatically. This is the couple we vote “Most Likely to Call Each Other Mommy and Daddy” or to have a bumper sticker proudly proclaiming “”We are Family” as if that was some kind of Nobel laureate area or major justification for their existence. If this makes your heart skip a beat, come on along for the ride. You can be the “Baby On Board.”
How to Attract a Cancer Woman as a Capricorn Man: Dry her tears, show sympathy for her seemingly endless and overwhelming problems (like the endless worries of chewing gum and walking at the same time). Really, this is a permanently distressed damsel just looking for a kind shoulder who in return offers an incongruously serene feminine energy like a drink of moonlight. Do a classic courtship, My Good Man. Show interest in her family and be sure to ask her father for her hand in marriage. Be especially nice to her mother because she‘s going to live with you some day.
How to Attract a Capricorn Man as a Cancer Woman: Your general fretfulness combined with your uncanny ability to calculate advantages is the winning formula. The former will make him swoon with desire while the latter will take him out at the knees. Finally, you’ll think, here is a real man: strong, silent, and loaded with goodies. Why, he even embraces the idea of being a father someday, so tell him what a good one you think he’ll make.
Degree of Romance: These two are a dream come true of romantic illusions for one another so well do they play their gender roles. He is Mr. Responsibility. She is Ms Dependent. He WANTS to play the role of Protector and Provider. In fact, he’s been scouring the ends of the earth looking for someone who will LET him be more of a man. He is utterly enchanted by this moonlight creature who clings to him in gratitude. They will have incredibly romantic moments after every major thing he does for her or gives her.
Degree of Passion: Passion is not really their thing, or rather not her thing. She will tend to try and make him feel guilty (“irresponsible” or “out of control”) for any outbreaks of fire in the belly.
Degree of Friendship: Two marriages which personify the classic Capricorn-Cancer model are Ronald “Daddy” and Nancy “Mommy” Reagan — and Brangelina. Were they, are they, friends? You be the judge. They are more bonded and co-dependent than friends could ever be.
Degree of Marriage: Really excellent. Best in the zodiac. They are both old fashioned and believe in marriage, probably both coming from failed families that left them craving what they think a family is. And for heaven’s sake, a Cancer woman wants nothing to do with risky co-habitation or financially undependable love affairs. After all, marriage is the biggest business deal she’ll ever make. She wants a gigantic rock to cement the partnership, too!
Progression of Relationship: He will have to move slow and steady to assuage her rather neurotic fears. Does he REALLY love her? Will he mention the “M” word first, or does she have to? Will he understand how insecure she feels until she gets that ring on her finger? Will be pick a big enough ring? Will he favor an evening wedding with tails? Will he hurt her like [insert her exes here]? You get the drift. And this is on the first date!
Sex: Every once in awhile he can talk her into it especially if he’s been “good to her” lately. This makes him feel less guilty about his needs. Her desires are purer (like a new washing machine or fur coat). Other than that, they’re cuddly and probably settle for a good dinner instead.
When It’s Over: He can pry the ring off her dead finger. She’s keeping it. It will only end when the last child leaves home. Or it can end when he finally gets tired of sleeping permanently in the dog house because he tried to force himself on her that night back in ’89.
Our Rating: 10/10
















You can’t be serious. I am a Cancer woman and we are
the horniest, freakiest people on the planet any man who
beds us finds out real fast. We are in no ways shy between the sheets. We are slaves to mastrubation, we love anal sex and I can’t think of my Capricorn without wanting to thrown myself on top of him. I get turned on
just looking at myself naked. Capricorn men make Cancer women go completely wild and un-inhibited its like a flower needs pollen or rain.
i second that
I third it.
yeah, you make us sound like prude old hags, which, we’re not. we rival scorpio with our sexual prowess, intensity and expertise, so don’t be mistaken or surprised when you wind up mesmerized by a cancer woman.
Third, but then again my mars is in Taurus, so the sex depends on your mars location.
I agree with most of this…..BUT the part about sex! HA! Joyce is right…we are very sexual women…GRANTED i have to feel secure with my man to let it go….but when I’m comfortable and secure…GAME ON BABY!
I’d like to hear from a man who is dating or has dated a Cancer woman.
capricorn man here. i just started seeing a cancer woman. holy hell, you are right about the sex. best of my life. i see huge potential with us. the description made me laugh, but it was sexist and pandered a bit to capricorn males, which is always a bad idea.
I’ve never been in a long relationship w/ a Cap, but i’ve had a fling or two and these men have stamina galore! and as previously stated we Cancer women are NOT to be taken lightly in this department. But what I’ve noticed about me is im alot more reserved with the ones I intend to keep around? lol im so backwards. Lol i thought it was just my Leo traits that gave me such a sexual appetite but looking at the other comments i see im not alone. Nancy i guess you could say were a classic case of “lady in the streets, but a freak in the sheets” lol go fig? =0)
I like that “lady in the streets ..” You sound like you know what you’re doing, Nita.
I AGREE WITH JOYCE. we cancerians are greatly sexually active! we are wild chicks! i always throw myself on top of my cap man!!!!
@Lilly
Wow, sounds like pretty hot stuff. Guys out there? Any comments from the MEN?
I have to agree with all the coments, I’m 45 and just started dating my first cancer woman. I have to say she’s the most exciting and sexually charged woman I’ve ever been with. I love the fact that she looks so conservative on the outside but is completely wild in bed…. Anything goes !
I’m learning that she needs a lot of attention and reassurance of our relationship. I’m usually a little quieter and reserved, but she’s getting me to open up and express myself more.
After 3 months of dating, I’m completely fullfilled and look forward to all of our time together!
My Capricorn male is strongly attracted to my hugely sexual/sensual side. I have a very healthy sex drive, but our foundation isn’t predicated on that, more on mutual respect & that I am of the few women who understand him. So true Cap males are very uncomfy expressing their love. My Capricorn is quite affectionate though, and his unstated love manifests in gestures/outings/trips that appeal to me. I am used to his unexpressive ways & it is a trade-off for me: a highly responsible, consummate provider/protector male who WANTS to be that. You can’t have everything in a man, so I choose that over being expressive. SO true about Cancer woman’s uncanny ability to calculate advantages. I see this ability in me all the time in this liaison.
@ Bill Thanks!! I’d like to hear from the more gentlemen … are Cancer women good in bed?
Help!! I’m Cap man in love with a Cancer woman…who’s already in a relationship.
I can’t stop thinking about her and all I want to do is cry and wallow in pity that she’s not available to me. Here’s the thing: think she feels something too!
What to do?
You do sound a bit anti-Cancer here, Nancy… the overall impression is that we’re needy, pathetic, money-grubbing, manipulative prudes!
I liked the ‘Mommy and Daddy’ call though – lol.People who do that have always made me cringe, but I could totally see myself doing that down the track with my Cap man. There is definitely something supremely settled, and boring (on the surface anyway!) about this combination. But it is way, way sexier than you imply!
I do have Mars in Virgo though, that may be influencing proceedings in some way!
I have been dating a Capricorn man for seven months, and though I have always been reserved as a Cancer, he was really able to let my wild side out. He loves the fact that I am reserved in the outside, but when we are alone, I drive him insane in bed. But my emotional side longs for my Cap to open up. And when he does, he sounds very sincere about expressing his love, that it melts my heart – but that’s a once in a blue moon thing that only lasts for a minute or less! But I’ll keep him. We are Brangelina!!!
I’ve gotten so many complaints from Cancer women, I’m going to review this material.
@Manuel
Test the waters in a simple, dignified way.
Hey Nancy can you further explain this sentence: “Your general fretfulness combined with your uncanny ability to calculate advantages is the winning formula. The former will make him swoon with desire while the latter will take him out at the knees.”
i am just curious how so? how will me being fretful (which i sometimes admit i do) be attractive to my Cap? Sure it doesn’t make him mad?…I’m a cancer woman dating a Cap and i also have to agree by the way with the comments about how Cancer’s woman’s sex drive/sensual sides are pretty high.
I am a Cancer woman currently dating a Capricorn man and boy is he hard to read!!!….I know he’s interested as he calls regularly, however he seems to be vey detached emotionally and his behaviors are very inconsistent. I feel like his inconsistent tendencies are a way of him testing me/my reactions. We have only know each other for two weeks so it’s hard to tell.
Mel: What you said is hilarious to me. I too am a cancer woman who met a Capricorn man around the same time you met yours! (Feb 27) He is hard to read and seems more sincere at some times than others. I love being around him though. He makes me laugh constantly. He’ll say something really sweet one day then be kind of aloof the next. He seems like he’s testing me to see how interested I am & is cautious about making the first move. Though I consider myself a feminist as a woman I can’t make the first move until I know what a guy’s motives are! Hopefully as the weeks go on I’ll figure him out!
Oh and I concur about the sex thing. I won’t have sex with just anybody & my demeanor in public is like an older lady. But in private there are no holds barred! I’m the freakiest person you’ll ever meet. Actually my ex who is a libra recently called me to complain that his new girlfriend (also a libra) was pulling the plug on some of the things he had come to like in bed while dating me! Not the first time I’ve heard this from an ex either.
wonder who came up with the idea that us cancerians are shy and reserved in the bedroom? so not true, outdoors yes, but once were behind doors with somebody we love or attracted to; WE GO ALL OUT
Lebron James and Savannah Brinson
Thanks so much for the great addition.
I’m a cap man, and have just met a cancer woman… she has something about her that has me hooked… we’ve only been on 2 dates but damn she’s gotten into my head.
I don’t really believe in anything horoscopes have to say, but I gotta say I’m surprised by the fact all cancerian women claim to have such a high sexual appetite… to me I would never have picked her for the type… seems so cute and innocent.
Next time I meet her, if she hits me with the offer, I must say I will be shocked… but from what I hear saying no, is a mistake.
My last partner who was a Libra wasn’t the best of fun between the sheets… her idea of fun was just lying there while I worked myself round doing 80% of the work… I felt dirty nearly everytime we had sex… I would have felt a little more comfortable even if she just through her arms around in the air gods sake… and then there was always this awkward pillow talk…
im a cancer female and i am goin with a cap man and this sooooo true sex is over rated and he has told me the thing he like about me and that is “nobody know how freaky y is but me’lol that was funny to me but we have went thu our ups and downs but we are friends and lover at the same time and i know that it will never change
I am a cancer woman friends with a cap man. Our friendship has grown slowly as we both are cautious but has flourished into the strongest relationship that I have every experienced. We have a lot of respect for each other. His patience with me has allowed me to get comfortable and relaxed and I can truly be myself with him without fearing rejection or judgment. He also does open up to me when he is in the right moment. However, I try not to push him into it as no matter how much I coax he will not budge so I have learned to let it go. He protects me, keeps my emotions in check, listens and just plain loves so passionately like no other.
Im a capricorn man and my wife is a cancer. we’ve been married almost 5 years and i will say that the sex has definately slowed down. When we were first dating you couldnt get us out of the bedroom haha! and she was very kinky also. But after we got married her interest in sex seemed to go back and forth between : waking up in the middle of the night to find her on top of me, To going 6 months without any sexual contact at all. I normally have a low sex drive and her a high one but now its backward. But im not entirely bothered by it, though sometimes i do get a little “wound up”. Overall our relationship is excellant!
dated a cancer for a year and got my heart broken,lol.funny thing is,it WAS a knight theme/situation.i courted her and we eventually hung out as friends,i later find that things were going down hill for her,and she wuz so beautiful and intelligent,i simply couldnt countainence her upcoming discomfort,so she moved with me(after knowing/talking for about 2-3 months).she was really down,so i did my best to build her up.i,however,wuz also in need of some care,but while i was building,she wuz tearing me down,and my fear of her leaving/disrespecting me didnt help either.it imploded eventually,then she lied and had a family member help her get a place(cuz i wouldnt,being that after she said never call her again,SHE called asking for something)its been almost 2yrs now and i see her around being that our circles overlap,except there is no love or appreciation from her,which to me is hurtful.funny thing is,i still care for her-any cancerian ladies help me shed light on her “motives”.
@Brandon
Great detailing, thanks!
@ell
“Fretfulness” has some charm to a Capricorn male.
@joanna
That’s a beautiful description of what this relationship can be like. Thanks!
SIgn up for me FREE newsletter here http://bemyastrologer.com/optinnewsletter.html
i am a cancerician and my close friend is a capricorn guy!! i love him. he takes good care of me and i really love him!! but he has a girlfriend who is a virgo!! how can i get to like me!! i really would give up anything for him?? are they better compactiable than me and capri man??? need help
@k
which sign were you more in love with the virgo or the cancer?, because my cap is in a love triangle with me a virgo and a cancer women
I am a cancer female and I recently met a capricorn man a few weeks ago. We’ve had a few telephone conversations which have been very good. He is just getting out of a bad relationship as am I. He says he’s not looking for a realtionship and thats fine but I’m not even sure if he’s open to dating. I’m a bit confused because of the good conversations we’ve had but on the other had if feel like I’m pulling teeth with him. He hasn’t asked me go out on a date yet. I trying to decide if should be patient and wait or just walk away because he does not seem emotionally available. I am normally a quite and reserved person but in this instance I feel like I am more the aggressor.
im a Capricorn man and I’m extremely attracted to this cancer girl and she seems to talk to me only even though her old friends are at the same group we usually sit in. I love it,i should ask her out (:
I would like to point out that brad pitt and angelina jolie are sag and gemini, not cap and cancer. So the reference to Brangelina makes no sense unless you are talking aboyt their moon signs.
Really you obviously dont understand the sexual drive female cancers have. I exhaust my Cappy fiance and have him wondering if I have a nonstop battery. I am like the energizer bunny. There is no end to it. He loves my passion and in the bedroom he only has to smile and I will have him screaming before the night is out. : ) Dont ever underestimate a cancers sexual drive, there is a reason why our symbol is similar to the number 69. ; )
ha ha ha …love that last statement re: 69…really I was reading all this about Cancer and thought all these years it was my Aquarius Moon that was having me so well, you know…but apparently its my Cancer Sun Cancer Venus that allows for the freaky deak!! p.s. Cap’s are seriously seriously sexy…my first love, Elvis Presley…holy crap was I in love with him…and that was at 13. (HInt: he’d been dead a good 6+ years at that point)…so that’s how swoony Cap’s can make a girl- thousands wet their pants for that Capricorn magnitude.
This Cap man I know enhants me. He brings out the worst in me, I have terrible rows with him but my god this guy – he takes it, I am very difficult to handle Cancerians can be quite bitchy people moods control me especially when I can’t get my own way
This guy is something else – I have already fallen under his spell – trouble is I hope he falls for me – and it isn’t a dream !
@gabriella
You were made for each other.
@Nancy,
Sadly he dumped me – went cold on commitment so I am now with a fellow cancerian whom I have met a few times and is moody like me.
His loss. I do like him but after two years I can’t wait no more for Mr Cappy well not this one
Gabriella x
I am afraid that I agree and disagree with the comments (though I am VERY late to this discussion, hee hee…
I am a cancer woman. I have dated and loved three Capricorns. Serious relationships, and every one nearly brought me to my knees.
Never, ever, ever again.
I would usually not let a thing like astrology stop me, but the pain has been so identical with these three.
I would say, perhaps its me, but I haven’t had the experience with other signs, at all.
Yes, they are reliable and amazing lovers. Serious on commitment and can make you feel safe for a time.
But, damn. As. cold. as. ice.
Plus the last one had an Aquarian moon. F*kc that.
And yes, I am a naughty and nice Cancerian, with a Scorpio moon, which just ups the freak into the stratosphere.
presently dating a sweet and attentive Pisces. Yup, gimme some-a dat.
Capricorns can go to hell. Sorry.
Nancy,
Not sure what is going on but as of today it is back on with Mr Cap however for now I have a secondary part to play – complicated triangle or I have to accept being a bit on the side x Still why not I would be happy with that – for now, when I tire i will move on x
I’m a Capricorn guy, and the two experiences I’ve had with Cancer women couldn’t be more different from each other. The first one I had a crush on, and we’d hang out regularly, but I could never, ever get her to open up and relax around me. We would just have these bland conversations where I’d ask her a question and she’d blithely answer, and that’d be it until I thought of another question. This went on for a while because she always seemed eager to see me, but then it would be the same old story.
Then recently I met another Cancer who I immediately felt that spark with, and her presence is so comforting and soothing; all I can do is think about seeing her again. It’s really like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. We’ve only gone out once but I’m struggling not to think of her in that “forever” way. I know that expectations like these are what get people hurt, but it’s really an amazing feeling being around her. She started a fire that I don’t see going out for a long, long, long time.
I am very sexual as a cancer woman. In fact when dating a Cap, he told me I was too sexual and wanted to know why and how many ppl I’ve slept with before him. He did say if it was more than 2 than we couldn’t be together. I just gave him a sideways look and finished what was started.
