How compatible are Cancer and Scorpio?
I am neither a Scorpio nor a Cancer, but I have known a number of Scorp-Cancer couples who just seem to be insanely in sync and have lots of chemistry and I'm curious if this is "a thing" in astrology? Like are Scorpios and Cancers supposed to be super compatible?

As for energy, Scorpio and Cancer are quite compatible. Individual people with Scorpio and Cancer placements may or may not be compatible depending on the other placements in their chart, but the energies themselves, Scorpio and Cancer, are both water signs.
Scorpio is the fixed water sign. Cancer is the cardinal water sign. So, they're highly resonant with one another. I mean, Cancer literally rules over motherhood and Scorpio rules over the sexual organs in the body. So, you see a direct connection there as far as physical astrology, like the procreative mechanisms, but also aside from reproduction, they're compatible because they will understand each other intuitively and emotionally.

Both are water signs, meaning there’s great compatibility here. Easy flow. They understand each other very well. Cancer is a little bit more sensitive, whereas Scorpio is a little bit more reactive.
Cancer is the first water sign of the Zodiac. So, it's the first time that we're understanding how we are processing our emotions, which can make Cancer a little more prickly and a little quicker to get upset. Meanwhile, Scorpio is the second water sign of the Zodiac, and it's a lake dweller, so it's more submerged in its emotions. It sits and stews a little bit more than Cancer does. On a bad day, these two can get caught up in their emotional needs, but on a good day, those emotional needs can feel like compassion, understanding, fluidity, and creativity, and it can feel really harmonious. So long as they're not getting overly hurt by things and they're not in a cycle of triggering each other, it's a really great flow.

I'm a Cancer in a relationship with a Scorpio and wow it's like a drug. Our connection is so intense and passionate, it's like I can't think of anything else when I'm around her (or honestly when I'm away from her either). Maybe I'm still caught up in the honeymoon phase but it's been almost a year and I still feel that way...I will admit that sometimes I can get jealous when she spends a lot of time with other people or is friendly with other guys but I have to remind myself those are just my own insecurities and they're not true. Logically I have complete trust in her and she has given me no reason to doubt our bond.

Yep, it’s a thing! Scorpio and Cancer are both water signs, so they have this deep emotional connection that makes them really in sync. They seem to just get each other on an emotional level because Scorpio is really intense and Cancer is nurturing, and all that intense, nurturing energy gets reflected and magnified between them. The chemistry is undeniable because they both crave loyalty, trust, and that strong bond. It’s definitely one of the most compatible pairings in astrology!
