Should a Capricorn woman get her hopes up?
March 2, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
A Capricorn asks:
I’m Capricorn Sun and Cancer Moon, I notice I attract mostly Scorpio and very recently, Cancer. I enjoy the spiritual depths of Scorpio and Cancer. I’m also a homebody, extremely financially responsible and prefer old world customs. I’m interested in a Cancer Sun/ Capricorn Moon. Should I get my hopes up?
I can see why you would want a Cancer Sun/ Capricorn Moon. Having two Sun-Moon conjunctions in synastry would seem to be the ingredients for a perfect marriage. But how do you go about finding such a person? (If you’ve already found someone specific, and this is not just a theoretical longing, please ignore the following rant.)
If you’re looking for, say, someone in their late forties, a July 8, 1960 birthdate fits the bill. Someone in their late thirties? July 17, 1970. I could go on. Buy an ephemeris and look for any birthday that has this combination — or pay an astrologer to do it — and then put a classified ad on craigslist.org listing all the dates.
You’ll get responses (hopefully) from only those who fit your criteria. Screen them over email, go on dates, maybe go steady with one or two, get engaged, yada yada. And who are you stuck with? Someone much like you! What fun is that?
Not that there’s anything wrong with the attraction. I’ve been drawn to Aquarius Sun/ Pisces Moon types in my day. (There’s your roundabout answer, if anyone feels compelled to ask about my sign!) No doubt, a match like this can feel very comfortable. But there’s something to be said for variety.
And if you’ve already found him or her? Work it!

Cancer men are not a good match for Cappy girls in the long run. They are very focused on themselves, they cheat emotionally, they don’t take the initiative and while most of us Caps are trying to move forward and definitively leave the past behind, they prefer to live in the past.
*I know someone is going to ask so I’ll clarify.* They cheat emotionally in that they are always looking for another woman to be in a serious relationship with. They are never satisfied with one woman. She can’t love them enough, pay enough attention to them or fulfill all of their emotional “needs”.
We are best off with Pisces men (the sharks not the guppies), Aries with Taurus influences, Leos with Taurus influences and Scorpios. Even though the astrology books say different-stay away from earth sign men, especially Virgos. Taurus moon and Venus are wonderful but Taurus sun men are too yin and make you fat. Virgo sucks for everything except a lab partner or accountant. Virgo men are critical and if its anything Cappies can’t take its someone criticizing us or worse, trying to “analyze” us. Ewwwwww… Virgo moon people are also wicked mean.
I’m a capricorn girl and I can second that about attracting scorpios and cancer men. Scorpio men are wildly passionate about the capricorn girl almost to the point of obsession. Lately, I have been running into cancer men. It has been crazy. In the bedroom, hands down, a cancer man is the absolute best. If you want romance, real great love making, and gorgeous cuddle sessions, a cancer man will do it. The only problem, is the cancer man won’t voice what he feels about the capricorn woman. That will send her in M.I.A. status faster than her saying the word “disappearance.” One thing I notice is that a cancer man will try to seduce a capricorn woman with the rememberance of their past rendevous, while the capricorn woman will try to get him to acknowledge what he feels for her. What a capricorn woman can’t stand is a cancer man’s manipulation, although she will remain constant and with stand his emotional storms; until they blow over. In regards to ever saying goodbye, completely; cancer men never let go. They just don’t. So be mindful, if you decide to be intimate, have caution. A cancer man will be clingy for forever and a day. Its a good thing, if you want that. As for the scorpio man versus the cancer man. Hmmmm. A scorpio man is more passionate, sexual, controlling; where as the cancer man is romantic, sensual, and indirectly manipulative. Either way, both the scorpio man and the cancer man are both passive-aggressive and don’t back down, in order to get what they want. I’m thinking the water signs are way too much to handle, unless you need passion and romance. If a capricorn woman wants to laugh and have a good time, a best friend, I’m thinking Aries and Aquarius are fun friends. As for a relationship, a virgo man will create structure, stablility, and will precisely zoom in on a capricorn woman, to give her exactly what she needs. A virgo man knows the “how” and “what” part in dealing with a capricorn woman.
They always know what they want and have no problem addressing a capricorn woman, in what he may provide for her, how he may build a life with her, and how he’d care for her. Where as, a cancer man never knows what he wants until he’s lost her… perhaps when its too late and she’s moved on. A capricorn woman has never moved on completely from the cancer man, emotionally because he torments her with his thoughts and wonders about her. She always “feels” him around, without “seeing” him around. Furthermore, cancer men are secretive and mysterious about peering into the world of any woman, but are fascinated with the capricorn woman. This is why. When they just discovered that they have figured out the capricorn woman, they realize later; they don’t know some things and are a bit confused. Capricorn woman don’t want to be figured out, let alone criticized, or drained from a man who is emotionally unstable. Look, there could be a flood, a storm, a hurricane…. and a capricorn woman will remain a strong mountain throughout. If a cancer or a scorpio man wants to win a capricorn woman, they need to let their waves crash a bit over her shoreline because she will wait for the calming of the tides….all he has to do is not try to be so controlling, manipulative, or counter-intuitive. She will respond well to a great massage, a good ear, having the last word, her favorite comfort food, an intellectual conversation over some hot chocolate…strolling down a string of shops in any urban environment. Capricorn women are passionate, loyal, faithful, trustworthy, respectful, traditional, conservative, sophisticated, and are a complete domestic goddess. They love their man, children, and themselves, of course. I hope this helps…
