ROFL!!! Is this serious? Pinning the measly Crab against the Scorpion? I'm sorry but that's an EXTREMELY unfair fight. True Cancer is a Cardinal sign, but Scorpios are the most powerful and aggressive of all the water signs and Cancers are the most weak and passive. I mean superficially speaking. This is not even a fight, it's a vicious mauling of the poor defenseless Crab. Claire is right... yeah Cancer has the pincer but it is infinitesimal compared to Scorpios gigantic pincer and stinger. I mean those pincers and stingers are big enough to give some fire signs a good whooping. I doubt Cancer can even face a Fire sign let alone a Scorpio. NEXT.


Brock Lesnar, Randy Couture, Forrest Griffin, Wanderlei Silva all UFC fighters with a cancer sign. Cancers are fighters. Scorpio's are usually all bark, no bite. The Cancer sign can take it better than Scorpios when they get in the mode. Cancer is only vulnerable when it lets it guard down (loved ones). Enemies are toast when they see them as enemies that really threaten them.

Isn't it interesting that the two most successful signs in mixed martial arts are Libra and Cancer...the two that people would probably think of last after reading their astro descriptions.
Ironically Leo and Scorpio are among the least successful signs.
That's a pretty interesting fact...But I can see how it works. Cancerians and Librans are afterall lovers not fighters hahaLaughing.

I couldn't agree more nicodemus! Big Grin
Well i had a physical confrontation with an ex scorpio of mine lonelyheart and i beat that a**. So i beg to differ about the physical win as well...and he was a dude!
Is this a real question??? lol
The obvious answer would be scorpions. They don't let down. They are VERY agressive.
Now if it were Pisces vs Crab ....it would be the crab. Pisces are too busy living in dreamland chasing bunnies and butterflies. lol
PD
I would say that i'm one of those "love to fight" person. Not the voilent physical fight, i do love to challenge my scorp. i think my scorp is getting afraid, cos i'm the one who always makes him mad.

You're misguided assessment of the Crab's considerable powers is most laughable! Weak and passive? Only a fool would tread carelessly into a real cancer's path looking to wage war, and fortunately for most scorpions they are not so reckless, as neither are crabs to rush recklessly into a conflict with their watery brethren. I have four planets all in cancer (sun, moon, venus, mars). My rising sign is also cancer. Ask anyone who knows me however and they will attest to the fact that I am by no means the stereotypical blubbering, hyper-emotional clingy type often associated with cancers. On the contrary, I abhor such weakness. What I do possess rather is a tremendously thick shell and when it comes to hiding my true intentions and feelings, I use it to a great advantage over my adversaries (stone-faced is perhaps not a descriptive enough term when describing my default expression). I am also unimaginably, incredibly patient. You can strike at me repeatedly and I'll just hold my ground until you are physically, mentally, and spiritually exhausted and give up. As far as your imprecise evaluation of the aggressive nature of the scorpion as well as the overtly aggressive nature of all fire signs, I have yet to meet any aries, leo or sagittarius who was invulnerable to being bested by any water sign, though I have a great admiration for the intellectual prowess of air signs and a great love for the staying power of earth signs. And for the scorpion, aggressiveness is not their default setting my unenlightened friend, it is only a tool to be used when needed, and labeling any sign as being any more powerful than another is irresponsible at best. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Yours appears to be favoritism. No g

I hate the idea of fighting before the blows start but love it once it's on. I try to avoid violence whenever possible and have a lot of self control in trying to diffuse a situation...if it has to turn into a fight I experience a special kind of joy.
As a martial artist I am often the guy that wants to turn it up a notch in sparring and see what were both really made of. I don't have any desire to hurt the other person, just to live in the moment where the danger becomes real.
There is few greater moments in life than those that follow being cornered in to all or nothing.
That's so cute.....lol
We are talking about IF they fight, Mr Nice...Who would win and how would they win.
But most of them said both will fight and then make up with hot sex....LOL!
Let me pick a crushed ball of paper from a mystery bag:

It reads: *Cancer*

This time tombola says Cancer.
The universe is fair.
LOL
It's all a matter of choosing your battles. I seriously try to avoid unnessisary drama. I mean that but the heck if I don't get myself into some pickles
If it were something serious yes I'd fight and you'd lose. Scorps will beat a dead horse and then some.
A Cancer girl (long ago) tried to split up my Aries and I. She lost the "evil dirty" battle from the start. I'm not afraid to swing low and drag your dirt out to make a point. The victimizing came after she realized she wasn't going to win head to head with me. The more she cried "poor me! You meanie Scorpio!!" the more I felt freaking sorry for her. IT was so pathetic but I didn't care. She couldn't make me feel bad for protecting my relationship. She boo hooed for years about how bad I was to her to anyone that would listen. Too bad. She tried to turn my Aries against me with ridiculous lies. It was no mercy after that.
She's since tried to "move past all that" and become friends with me again. Um thanks but no thanks. I knew what she was up to and I wasn't having it. Manipulate me? LOL. Good luck with that.
Back to the Cancer/Scorp thing.... I just sit back and let Cancers do what they gotta do. No need to engage them. No point. It's not worth it.
I dont know may b you would lose to me bcuz I have Pluto in Mars and Jupiter in Cap Nep in Cap Uranus in cap i'm my rising is scorp
lol pathetic thread. Unrealistically high expectations of Scorpios. It depends on the fight. In my experience, I say emotionally/mentally Cancer hands down. Physically I don't know it's not fair to say. Kind of ridiculous though, seems the motive is to bring down one or the other. There is no "best" of the zodiac.
Cancer can confuse a Scorpio. These two can do no harm to eachother but i guess it sucks for all others who get stuck in this battle.
Why are Cancers humoring themselves that they could beat a Scorpio? LOL!
Cancers are ruled by the Moon. The moon rules our emotions and unconscious. Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the god of war, and Pluto, the god of the underworld. Cancer has no chance and would be smart to swim to safer shores. Cancer has no ability to penetrate through anyone else's soul. Scorpio has the ability to penetrate through the shell of the cancer and has poison in its tail. Not to mention, Cancer is an emotionally weak sign.
Scorpio wins.
I have scorpio rising Cap in three planets and Mars in Taurus
Taurus is your opposite
You think were passive? HAHAHAHA, Ever hear of the old saying "Be careful of the quiet ones" Someone messes with my family i beat their ass! Funny story about a scorpio and cancer fight. My Pisces mom was being physically abused by her scorpio boyfriend. She ran to my house to tell me, she had bruises,and looked BAD. I Was in the middle of moving by the way. Anyways, i asked her where he was? She said "He is at your new place talking to your boyfriend" So i ran over there pissed as hell. I asked him "Why the hell did you hit my mom" he said "She was being a bitch" i said "Oh really? hit me than" he said "Hit me first" so i did, i punched him hard in his nose, he fell on the ground,teared up and ran. The cops showed up, i told them hy i hit him, and did not deny it. They told me i broke his nose in 5 places,and if i hit him any harder i would of killed him. Soooooooooo, we are NOT ALL Weak!

Hmm why don't you try that to me?

Scorpio,
Ruled by Mars (The God Of War)
Ruled by Pluto (The God Of The Underworld)
Interesting thread
Cancer beats all, because Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) is a Cancer.
Did no he was a cancer

I would say, they may feel attracted to each other and there won't be any fights smile
Cancers and Scorpios are suppose to be a good match. So I'll hope for a happy end Big Grin
Anyways, cancers are more tactical, we can control ourselves better than scorps. ( just saying)

soooooo true
As for ordinarily-involved, outward dispostion between the two, I would say Scorpio possesses what would be considered more in-control, even dominant, in comparison to Cancer's possibly reserved, even passive-aggressive outwardness.
In personal experience, and honestly in rare occasion, what sets the two apart in a physical confrontation is, as others have mentioned, the emotional/personal offense/intensity involved.
Scorpio does ordinarily live a life with some power and status obsession on the forefront. Cancer, too, but in a more limited and less vocal way, as it often described -- naturally involved more with the familial/personal involvements of their reality.
A fight with even moderate significance may seem a limitation to activating a crab's latent potential; it needs to really MEAN SOMETHING CRITICAL -- this is part of the crabs less power-absorbed social profile.
But if a "true" personal or family (most strongly, the child of a crab) conflict is engaged to a impasse, Cancers can become a DISTURBING physical embodiment of the very will to ''eliminate'' -- resulting in uninhibited, fully-engaged purposefulness of removing from existence that which they have found to be jeopardizing integral parts of their personal selves.
I'm not saying it's a certain win for Cancer in that matter, and it is with tears, i'd bet, Cancerians understand what I am saying -- the violence beneath an otherwise always seen ''shell'' one will deal with, if they enter a crab's hidden world, is a very unfortunate side for anyone to see.
Cancer will, with every purpose in its very life essence (ego not involved), do all that it can to kill you. KILL.
Yuck.
And to add, for the sake of the real emotions in which I think a ''BATTLE'' between the two is indisputably based upon -- I've not seen many Cancers and Scorpios go to such blows.
For the more light-hearted:
Cancer: Watch your stride -- Scorpio will get inside your head before you know it if you're going to joust on ice, and if you slip, it's gonna bring the rest of your day down. Try to get along, remove your personal irritations from your company's behavior, and embrace how well you get along with someone who will give sensitivity and fighting chance.
Scorpio: You are more aware than almost anyone else of Cancer's sensitivity, and know to be especially cautious on some days moreso than others -- for even so much as your OWN peace of mind. Pushing even a little, when a Cancer does NOT like it, may be pushing too far. Let 'em stew on their own! Brace yourself, show the love, and you'll both be rewarded big time.
First let me say, I really like Scorpio women and in general would not want to fight a Scorpio because, at their worst, Scorpios can be really vindictive and self-destructive. That said, I think as a Cancer I'd beat the Scorpio by giving them enough rope. For reals.
nah Scorpios are overrated, they are only co ruled by mars. A cancer would wreck a scorp. Cardinal energy is more controlled. Cancers are underrated fighters. I'm saying this as an aries, cancers can fucking fight, don't underestimate them.

a crab kills with indifference which would drive a scorpio nuts

yep, it would

Scorpio would win in mind games but Cancer would win the physical fight.

here's the thing. Scorps think that mind games work in the end. NEGATIVE. When the person kills you, you will be BRAIN dead, and won't be able to play mind games. Cancers will destroy a scorpio's ability to play mind games after they physically kill them.

'The scorpion makes a face that leads the crab to believe it's trying to prevent spontaneous head explosion'


My coworker makes this expression at me all the time and I was trying to find the words to express what it looked like.
There is is.
I would be more afraid of a raging Scorpio face to face.
Cancers back down quicker, but Scorpio have a point to prove what ever that may be.
I would be more afraid of a Cancers revenge however. Scorpio wants you to feel fear while their revenge takes place. They want you to know it's them, and want to eat your fear. Cancer doesn't show any sign at all, and will even speak to you with a smile while they plot your demise.

If I know my enemy wants to destroy me it gives me time to ready myself. With Cancer they give no warning, and there's no telling when their emotions will volcano out of their thick shell.
Definitely Cancers I am working with a weak ass Scorpio right now.
Will not have your back, afraid of her own shadow.
If it snows 2 inches she will call off from work because she fears she will get stuck in the snow.
She bends to the stronger personality.
If I need someone to have my back it won't be her.
Yeah, Cancers would devour Scorpio's.
We know what to do with their stingers.
We would grab hold of that stinger and throw it on the barbeque.
Good eating. Mmmmmmm **Smacks Lips**

Every cancer male and female I met were weak, all bark no bite.. So I'm waiting to be proved other wise? I've met a lot of scorps that were the same way but its small in comparison to the ones I do know who are silent and surely pack a punch. Emotionally and physically.

I'm with Scorpio on this one. Like I said I've only ever met weak cancers in the physical world.. And "badazz" cancers on the intenet Lmao. The talk on the Internet gets real big

in my world, if they are dominant fire (i dont know the dominant airs but i bet they are similar) they are very very competitive. But for some reason, it's a competitiveness that is not "overt"-- they want to get the best this and the best that, but don't brag about it, they just go out and get it. if they dont have the money or resources, they will work for it. it's that aggressive competitiveness.
i think earth too is like this, physical energy, strong and steady. Kind of like taurus (fixed focus)
Cancer-Leo cusp here with scorpio moon. I've always been able to beat scorpio into submission. They are intrigued by cancer and cancer are the only ones that don't really back down to them. Cancers know how to manipulate--our trick lies in the fact that we seem sensitive and soft (which we can be) however we can bounce back much easier and quicker than scorp. Plus Scorpio is very afraid to let people in but cancers can usually move past their defenses, we know exactly how to hit them where it hurts because they let us in which they don't normally do with most people. We are not afraid of the sting and once your force a cancer to come out of their shell to contend with you--all hell has broken loose. we aren't natural fighters, we do it for survival and as a last resort so we hit you with everything we've got. if a cancer "loses" it's simply because they've chosen not to fight. You really have to push us to that point. As for me, well my influences make me more liable to exact revenge against scorpio as well--it's damn well a fight worth seeing because i'll never stop. and with cancers obsession with the past--i'll never let it go either.
scorpios..the ones I was close with wasn't really agressive. The ones I had issues with only showed agressive behavior in groups..like to show off . If they can't get you they manipulate everyone around you to get to you.
Example I had a scorpio coworker we got in to it..she was loud..throwing b*tter. Called me all type of names . I was laid back..I only said a few words which was make sure your a*s don't come to close and make sure none of that b*tter you throwing hit me. What irritated her more was she didnt get a reaction out of me..for a year straight she tried to get me fired. The girl would find creative ways to write me up and try to get under my skin. Nothing work..I would never acknowledge her. Onetime I did curse her out for coming in my space.lmao. and she didn't know how to react because she didn't have any audience to hype her up..so she set in a corner mumbling . But she eventually pull me to the side with her eye watering apologizing which I believe was another manipulating tactics. Alot of times when scorp have temper tantrum I almost get the feel that they are about to have an emotion break down. Especially if they are not getting the response that they want because they are searching for weakness in a fight.
I know I alot of scorpios..most of there outburst come from some deep emotion, they are able to turn there pain into anger.
Most cancers I know are only emotional to people they care about. Random people are nothing to them. Not saying they can't get there feeling hurt but they are able to shut down quickly when no feel in void .

That's the way the scorpio girl was around me she always wanted a reaction doing things on purpose to annoy me she lashed out at me quite a bit she would get emotional, it was like something else was bothering her she would let loose on me. She hated it when things were to quiet with her and I out of no where she would start something.

people say that Scorpio is the most powerful sign in the zodiac, that may be true because of their internal strength, they can kill you while making you feel good, but that where their power stop, to completely scare off a Scorpio you will have to show brutalities, like an Aries, and Cancers are not much of a fighter because they don't like to fight, but Cancer is actually the most powerful sign in the zodiac, just touch one of Cancers love one and see what happens, you can hurt Cancers, but when you touch their love ones, better run

so boring. if you were
a scorpion you'd be
saying otherwise.

hard shells can be
cracked with the
right tactic.
i wonder, who started all of this competition?
not the OP, but in life, who thought to put
scorpions and crabs against each other?
they are different water.

it is like putting the apples and oranges
against each other. they are both fruit,
but are distinctively different.

makes no sense. i feel the need to compete
is on the cancer side. like they need to feel
higher or better to feel good about themselves.

sad and it shows a lot of deep insecurity.
Posted by Scorpion sting The Scorpio will win in the long run after wounding the soft natured crab.. (not that I intend to do such a thing as I love Cancerians)



We are winners of the zodiac so we will win through sheer determination and will. Not to forget that we are also master strategists and have the ability to Heal. We will heal ourselves and it is the poor crab who will be left hurt and insecure for life. A Cancerian's 'crazy loony' nature doesnt scare us one bit. We KNOW its a defense mechanism and a WEAKNESS.



Crabs also dont have quick bounce back ability like us Scorpions do. We are terribly viscious when we need to be (even though on the surface we 'show' kindness and affection). We will cut you deep.



The Scorpion knows exactly what game to play with the Crab in order to destroy it .... Winking


Such an idiot you are scorp. You have never messed with the natural winner of zodiac.. The fighter the warrior.. THE ARIES

You will run for water even if you see me
Posted by Scorpion sting

''so what ? so do leos and capricorns and many others . why do you keep trying to exclude scorpios above the rest ?''





Then we wouldnt be Scorpios would we?...we'd be Capricorns or Aries etc....





There isn't another sign that has the emotional strength of a Scorpio. This I have learn from books and real life experience. Not only do we possess the strength/ability to heal ourselves, but Others too.


Ha ha ha... Look at this pathetic whore... She feels she is stronger than all else. Before you can even play your emotional move, evil will crush you like banana you idiot pathetic looser scorpio. You live in gutter.
