Cancer, the benevolent, belongs to the element water, which is that of emotions.

So do Scorpio and Pisces, but that doesn't necessarily mean Cancer is particularly compatible with them - they need to feel mutual attraction, which is something elusive at times. Nor for that matter is Cancer always incompatible with, say, the fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, although they are quite different. All the characteristics of each Zodiac sign have to be considered when examining their compatibility in astrology.

Cancer Compatibility in General

Generally speaking, Cancer is the motherly protector, also in a relationship. Cancer needs to feel like the one who protects and deepens the love, whether that is true or not. Usually it is.

A relationship with Cancer is like going back to the protected life of childhood. Some people like it, some not. Cancer insists on it, whatever the partner has to say about it. But it's sweet and comforting, so many have no objection.

The feelings are warm and Cancer can be trusted not to hurt them in any way - as long as the partner accepts who decides what's best for them and what's not.
