♑︎ Capricorn + ♋︎ Cancer compatibility
Earth meets Water: river valley
The classic nurturing pair: water makes earth fertile, earth gives water shape. Naturally supportive; guard against merging into one undifferentiated blob.
Their Suns oppose across the zodiac wheel — the axis of projection and completion. Each is the other's missing half or blind spot, usually both. Both are cardinal signs, so both want to initiate — expect leadership contests.
