Common questions

Venus in Cancer and Mars in Scorpio, answered

Are Venus in Cancer and Mars in Scorpio compatible?

Venus in Cancer with Mars in Scorpio: two water signs, tender affection meets intense desire, and the chemistry is deep and loyal.

What does Venus–Mars compatibility mean?

Venus is how a person loves and what they find attractive; Mars is how a person wants and pursues. When one partner's Venus sign and the other's Mars sign fit, the attraction is easy: one is drawn to exactly the way the other goes after things. When they clash, the chemistry still happens, but each has to learn the other's language of desire. Every couple has two of these pairs, because each partner has both planets.
