When Aries and Cancer get together, it's a case of opposites attracting. Aries
is rash and impetuous while Cancer is sensitive and emotional. Aries can
certainly be emotional - in a fiery, impulsive way that can completely overwhelm
Cancer. If you can give an Aries action, excitement and a fresh start, they you
have a better chance of getting their love and affection. If you can give a
Cancer emotional commitment and security, a loving home and some care for
children, you have a better chance of getting their love and affection. Even
though Cancer usually likes to take time with relationships, Aries's rapid
approach can be extremely stimulating. Aries, on the other hand, may find the
Cancerian sensitivity pleasing; it's a good balance for the typical Aries
bluntness. Troubles may arise if Cancer's mood swings or Aries's belligerence
becomes hurtful. Both Signs must take time to listen to their partner's needs
and understand that they're coming from different directions to meet a common
objective.
The meeting of Mars-ruled Aries, a Fire Sign, and Moon-ruled Cancer, a Water
Sign, will be a testing one. There are rewards for persistence, but the road you
travel together will ask for a clear recognition of your differences. You both
tend to be active, dynamic, mobile and self-confident. Each one of you is
special and leads something of a enamoured life. Both Aries and Cancer are
usually positive, competitive, colourful, life affirming people. Aries is ruled
by the Planet Mars and Cancer is ruled by the emotional Moon. Mars was the God
of War, Aries's open, passionate character appeals to Cancer, who often
internalizes emotions and feelings. Cancer can have deep, feminine energy and
Aries can help them learn to let go of it. The Moon controls tides of the Earth,
quietly affecting all life; likewise, Cancer works behind the scenes while Aries
rushes into battle. Cancer tends to be over-romantic and can teach Aries to slow
down and appreciate life instead of always stepping up to the next thing.
Fundamentally, if Aries wants to be happy, Aries needs to be first and best.
Somehow, some way, Aries need to find a spirited outlet. On the other hand,
Cancer is a good person who needs to deal with family and emotional issues.
Cancer's hugs are world class and Cancer's snuggles are second to none. Cancer
is naturally inclined to be touchy about some, but not all relatives. Like
Aries, Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, given to strong action when required. But,
this doesn't mean your very own Crab will want to be pushed at Ram speed. Cancer
worries and weighs things up, not liking to be urged to decision or action. You
both like to start things and to take the initiative. You're each restless,
energetic, outgoing, opportunistic and ambitious. Probably, you're both too busy
to be bored. Cancer may need for Aries to cool it from time to time.
Cancer is not necessarily the most direct creature. Security is something Cancer
is always aware of. Usually it's a top priority. Cancer is definitely strong and
protective .
Cancer is the Sign of Home while Aries is the Sign of Self. One great thing
between these two is that both Signs are extremely protective of those they
love. Cancer uses that Crab shell to draw around themselves and their family and
mate when danger is near, while the Ram uses their strength and courage, like a
knight in shining armour. Cancer also provides Aries with a contented domestic
life and emotional security. Sometimes they might build an idealized image of
their Aries partner or be overly possessive, which can really grate on
independent Aries. However, Aries can help by reassuring their Cancer partner
that they are loved and special. Aries really needs to learn to listen to
Cancer: the Crab operates on an instinctive level and their advice can help
Aries avoid making silly mistakes caused by that characteristic Aries lack of
planning.
At first, the magnetism is intense, but you may come to realize the intensity is
based on things you don't understand about one another. Mixing Fire with Water
creates a lot of hot steam! The lure of the bedroom is strong, but the
rough-and-tumble Ram may soon cause the Crab to withdraw, demanding compassion
and romance. As demands and the word "sensitivity" is generally wasted on the
Ram. You have an onward-and-upward essential that can clash with those legendary
Cancerian moods. Caught up in your own unflagging energies, you may find the
Crab's emotional life inexplicable, filled as it is with secret thoughts and the
need for privacy, customary in a Water Sign.
The Ram spends like there is no tomorrow, while the Crab holds onto money like
the ship's purser. Equally, your independence and occasionally roving eye could
set the wheels of envy in motion in the possessive Crab.
Aries flourishes amid uproar, while Cancer prefers the security of domestic
life. If the Crab tries too often to dampen the Ram's ardour, the door will be
slammed on fast-vanishing Aries heels. Agreements must be reached about how the
home is run. This can also be the saving grace of the relationship. If Ram and
Crab have a family, you will not find two more willing protectors. In business,
if Ram and Crab understand each other, Ram energy and Crab prudence can build a
base for success.
Remember that Cancer is sensitive and easily hurt. Any incursions into tender
Cancerian feelings take time to forgive. This match demands mutual respect and
clear boundaries. Without them, it will suffer the classic fate of mixing fire
and water, a lot of steam with nothing to show but wet cinders.
