Aries and Cancer Compatibility
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 acceptance of your differences.
At first, the attraction 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 sensitivity and romance. As demands and the word “sensitivity” are generally wasted on the Ram, the withholding of favours may bring an abrupt ending. You have an onward-and-upward imperative that can clash with those legendary Cancerian moods. Caught up in your own unflagging energies, you may find the Crab’s emotional life mysterious, filled as it is with secret thoughts and the need for privacy, customary in a Water Sign. Pity the Ram who knocks at the Crab’s door when the “Do Not Disturb” sign is out.
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. It may have been someone observing an Aries at work who coined the word “premature”, while “safety first” is the Cancer motto.
The Ram spends like a sailor, while the Crab holds onto money like the ship’s purser. Equally, your independence and occasionally roving eye could set the wheels of jealousy in motion in the possessive Crab.
Aries flourishes amid hubbub, 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. However, there will be times when Ram-level noise is off the Crab’s agenda. Thus, 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. Equally in business, if Ram and Crab understand each other, Ram vigour and Crab caution 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
