Opposite signs, 180° (an opposition): the attraction of opposites. Each has what the other lacks; the pull is strong, and so is the struggle for balance.
The elements
Water and earth are friendly elements. In the classical scheme fire and air are both active, earth and water both receptive, so each of you supports what the other is trying to do, and the bond tends to feel natural.
In love
In love, Cancer is tender, protective and deeply attached; it needs security, family and a partner who makes a home with it.
In love, Capricorn is serious, loyal and slow to open, but builds lasting bonds; it shows love through responsibility.
Counsel
Do not let old hurts close the shell; feel, then let go.
Make room for joy along the way; the summit is not the only reward.

What this comparison can and cannot say
This compares only the Sun signs, as the old almanacs did. A real comparison of two people, called synastry, reads both whole charts: the Moon, Venus, Mars and the Ascendant often matter more than the Sun. Read this as a first sketch, not a verdict.
