Doubly guarded
The crab and the scorpion both come with a hard outside, so you may have twice the armor of most people. You can seem completely composed while a whole orchestra’s going on within you. People often find this magnetic. You’re focused, shrewd and quite willing to go by instinct, and it’s often right about what’s really happening in a situation.
When your energy’s pointed at something you want, you can achieve surprising things, and people might even call you lucky. Heavy moods can also settle in. They’re a part of feeling this much, and if one stays for a long while, it’s worth reaching out for support.
Safety and intrigue
Here’s the puzzle of this mix: you want complete security, and you also want some danger, and those two don’t really go together. You need to feel adored and safe. You also get bored by anything that doesn’t have a charge in it. So you might pick a stable partner and then test them, or pick an exciting one and then spend your nights worrying about it.
Your feelings can also be so absorbing that you lose track of what’s going on with the person across from you. And you can remember a slight for many years, with the date.
Letting someone through
Tests are tempting, and they rarely tell you anything. People don’t know they’re taking one, so they fail for no fair reason. Try saying what you need instead. Find your intensity somewhere that doesn’t need a victim: a demanding sport, research, art, deep friendships. For a look at this pairing as a couple, Cancer and Scorpio goes through what happens when neither one wants to speak first. In your case, both of them are you.
