Why CANCER Tops the Loyalty List (And Scorpio Doesn't)



A Deeper Dive into the Rankings

This list rightly places the signs that value security and stability at the top.

  • Cancer ♋︎ (1st) & Capricorn ♑︎ (2nd): This is a powerful pairing at the top. Cancer, a water sign ruled by the Moon, seeks emotional security above all else. They are natural nesters and protectors who wouldn't risk the safety of their "shell" for a fleeting moment. Capricorn, an earth sign ruled by Saturn, is all about structure, long-term plans, and reputation. They view a relationship as a serious commitment, an investment, and they are far too disciplined to jeopardize their life's work.

  • Aries ♈︎ (12th) & Sagittarius ♐︎ (11th): It's no surprise to see these two fire signs at the bottom. Aries, ruled by Mars, is driven by impulse and the thrill of the chase. Their loyalty is fierce in the moment, but their focus can shift quickly to the next new adventure. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, has a core need for freedom and expansion. They can be incredibly loyal, but only if they don't feel caged. The temptation for a new experience or a new perspective is often their greatest challenge.

  • The Surprising Scorpio ♏︎ (8th): Many astrologers would argue for Scorpio to be in the top 3! As a fixed water sign, their loyalty is legendary. It's all-or-nothing, ride-or-die. Once they commit, they merge on a soul level. However, their placement here at #8 might speak to the complexity of their nature. Ruled by Pluto, they are a sign of extremes. If they feel deeply betrayed, their intense nature can lead them down a different path. Still, their fundamental nature is one of profound, unwavering loyalty to those who have earned their trust.

🪐 In Summary:

The ranking resonates moderately well with general astrological archetypes. It’s not absolute (individual charts matter more), but as a generalization:

  • Water and Earth signs (Cancer, Capricorn, Pisces, Virgo, Taurus) are typically more relationship-anchored.

  • Air and Fire signs (Gemini, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Aries) value freedom and may resist constraints in relationships.

Beyond the Sun Sign: A Whole Chart Perspective

While Sun sign lists are entertaining, true compatibility and loyalty patterns are found by looking at the entire natal chart. The Sun sign is your ego, but other placements tell the real story of your heart.

  • Venus ($\Venus$) is Key: Your Venus sign reveals how you love, what you value in a partnership, and your innate approach to romance. A person with an Aries Sun but a Venus in Taurus will likely be far more steadfast and loyal than this list suggests. Conversely, a Cancer Sun with a Venus in Gemini might be more prone to intellectual wandering, needing constant mental stimulation in their relationship.

  • The Moon ($\Moon$) and Emotional Needs: The Moon sign shows what you need to feel emotionally secure and happy. Someone with their Moon in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) will have a much deeper-rooted need for stability in their relationships, making them less likely to stray.

  • The 7th House of Partnership: The sign on the cusp of your 7th House, and any planets within it, describe the kind of partner you are drawn to and the dynamics of your most significant relationships.
