My mum and dad are Cancer VS Capricorn respectively.
I just adore her. She is all that Cancer represents, but in such a modern way! She is a LEADER, a sort of Virgin Warrior... She's the head of the office she works at, and she is just perfect at that. Her cooking skills are not to be doubted - and her cakes!!! She recenlty also learnt to do a very typical Neapolitan sweet, the infamous *BABA'*, wonder if you ever heard of it. She's the hearth, and the dream, and the sense of guilt, and the bond to the past... She's all that.
Mt Father is... Well, no comment.
In my life I always come to detest a Capi, and my father is among them. That thing of self-fulfillment and satisfaction at older age? You have know idea how much that can be true, ESPECIALLY IN A NEGATIVE WAY...
Together they are like... always in a row... She's never happy, he's such a sloopy, never caring to be precise and neat in what he does, my mother taeks things personally... OOoooowwWWW...
*LOL*
BTW I think they are an awfully good match
LOL
As for Cancer/Cancer couples my experience says... NAAAAAAYYYY.
I have met two. And they are Grandparents and Parents of a friend of mine, my sis former boyfriend... I don't think I should comment on this too...
The point is that the BOND between the families become TOO STRONG. I am not joking, I'm serious - and I always was so far in this post, beware
- They can get nowhere without asking all the other THREE (yeah, almost an enlarged 2 couple family). I do think this is too big a limitation...
============================
Moonman, you say "past problems". This is typical of Cancerians too.
I know you could work other ways. And if you really go for couple therapy, good luck!
But my therapy is this: with the money for the psychiatrist/doctor/therapist whatever, organise a travel FOR TWO somewhere FAR. A Cruise, I don't know. Try this!
