Particularly, I'm a Capricorn, so I'm attracted to these cancer types because they have early success in whatever they undertake given the nurture or luck is there too.

I notice that capricorns on the other hand have to keep working but end up enjoying success into old age...where as cancers do amazing at first, and then taper off becomming less popular as time goes by, or less powerful if you will...

An example is
Jack White, and Beck, and Alexander the Great...they all achieved alot early on in their careers but tapered off later and never achieved the same status as their initial endeavors...alexander died of course.

Now look at John Denver, Lead singer from REM, Elvis, an other capricorns....they keep climbing and getting bigger against all odds, in fact elvis enjoys more success every successive generation, an almost impossible feat.

This is really strange but definately a pattern I'm noticing...again this isn't like a rule of thumb, these people are exceptions in life, having both luck and skill and fate, but we can measure these absolutes or extremes and see the true essence of the sign...

It's important to note that in no way do cancers become less talented or less potent in terms of skill. It's just in a business sense they don't achieve the same amount of sales later on, just like capricorn goes relatively unnoticed until a certain age.

Elvis for example was a young man when he was noticed, but not tha tyoung, after all, he served in the army first...

Cancer is the archtype of the mother
and Capricorn the father
One is the moon and one is saturn...

so its the moon saturn relationship continuum...maybe cancers are in tune with their emotions more and know what their purpose is, have more courage to follow their passions, where as capricorns needs stability before they move on to that level of emotional comitment.

Naw, he was famous before the Army. That's why they followed him around and took his picture while he was in uniform.

I can see what you're talking about, Alex. Weird, I didn't know that Jack White is a Cancer, or that John Denver was a Capricorn. I thought he was a Cancer for some reason.

My mom had a lot of success early in her life, well into her fifties, and then it just sort of dwindled (which is sad, because she really does NEED that financial stability and independence). She grew up pretty poor, though.

I think that it's always talked about that Caps tend to gain more as they grow older, in many ways. My step-dad's father is like that. He's well past ninety, and perfectly physically able and coherent.

He worked long and hard as a dairy farmer, and they were quite wealthy but very strict with money and things that they thought were unnecessary. They kind of lived like Amish people.

Debbie Harry is also a Cancer, and there are others that kind of fit what you're describing.

David Bowie, another Capricorn (same birthday as Elvis, even).

I feel the same way about Cancers

---I agree about cancer`s knowing themselves well and needing the emotional support while they strive for more. I don`t know that cancers know what they want to do early in life as I struggled with that aspect. I`m now coming into realizing what makes me happy (healing) after trying something like law. I think both cap`s and cancers have the same need to succeed in careers and to share that success with someone.

I get feeling that both signs tend to be very hard on themselves as well.

I'm trying to not be crazy and decide it's not going to work out before getting to know him just because it hasn't in the past with Cancers..

--I think sharing with the ones they love may be the `father and mother` side of the two signs. After seeing the nastiness of the field I had to leave. I`m just not that type of person hence taking a job healing people.

Violets - thanks for chiming in. I really do believe cancers are in tune emotionally and capricorn a are in tune logically or by the paternal structure. The axis relates moon to Saturn and can be explosive sexually me thinks. As a capricorn it is no coincidence my favorite artists keep turning up as cancers.

I do agree with everyone here that Cancers and Capricorns, much like Virgo and Pisces, have similar needs that are expressed differently but seem to meet up in the middle of that opposition.

I find many Capricorns to be very spiritual (think Kahlil Gibran, one of my very favorite Capricorns, and Martin Luther King, Jr.) but yes, with more structure somehow. And I also find Cancers to be very driven regarding work and financial security, but with a different type of intuitive and instinctual approach than Caps.

The energy that drives them seems different but very similar, probably like most (if not all) opposite signs.
