Cancer Aries

Cancer Aries compatibility

Cancer Aries is one of the less likely combinations of the zodiac. Cancer fears being abandoned while Aries fears being trapped. Cancer dwells on the past while Aries looks only to the future. Cancer seeks stability and security while Aries seeks adrenaline and adventure. The path to making this work will be very hard. Aries could make Cancer more adventurous, and Cancer could make Aries more sensitive. The potential is there for this to be a great team, however your styles are radically different and this is a combination which will require a lot of work.

Note, this article is written from the viewpoint of the Cancer man or Cancer woman. There is a separate article from the viewpoint of the Aries man or Aries woman available here Aries and Cancer

There may be some initial attraction here, and theoretically you could create a warm and loving home environment, while your Aries heads out to conquer the world. Your partner could make you more adventurous, and you could make them more sensitive. The potential is there for this to be a great team.

Having said that, you have almost no common ground to work from. You fear being abandoned while your Aries fears being trapped. You dwell on the past while your Aries looks only to the future. You seek stability and security while your Aries seeks adrenaline and adventure. You can hold a grudge for a lifetime, while your Aries is a tornado in the here and now, constantly moving on with a clean slate and conscience. You are often indirect while Aries is blunt and forthright. You take offense easily and Aries is often blunt.

You’ll see your Aries lover as overly impulse, uncaring and domineering, and they will see you as overly sensitive, emotional and sulky.

Sex

You like romance and intimacy, your Aries likes passion, heat and volatility.

Long term

As your catalogue of hurts grow you’ll become increasingly resentful of your Aries, who’s fearless and spontaneous nature may cause them to rapidly move away.

So is this article conclusive?

No! This article is based only on sun sign interaction. In order to provide a lot of people with information it's a convenient and fast way to generalize, but it's far from conclusive at this broad level.

To get a complete picture we need to take all the other planets and their interactions into account. If you would like more information for your unique relationship please see the astrology compatibility reports page.

Other resources

Often the hardest questions to ask are the most important - for example, what are their views and expectations for raising children? sharing housework? saving money? career goals? etc.

One subtle and fun way to approach this is by working through a couples question book together - that way it's not really you asking, and delicate subjects can be covered easily. The best book for this I've found is Michael Webb's 1000 Questions For Couples

For reviews of this and other relationship ebooks on subjects ranging from improving your sex life to getting an ex back please see the relationship ebook reviews page.

A third method of further research is to share experiences with other couples of this same sign combination - you may be amazed how consistent they often are. Please see the links below for visitor experiences and questions.

In any relationship there are also very significant external factors. One of these is how well you understand yourself, your partner and your partnership - the more you do, the easier it is to make the relationship more exciting, fulfilling and satisfying for both of you, regardless of your starting position. The articles on how to Make him fall in love with you and Make her fall in love with you have information on how you can use astrology to revitalize a relationship.

Gay or lesbian relationships

The information on this page applies equally to gay or lesbian relationships. Overall, gender affects relationships far less than planet placement does, so it's currently ignored to avoid my initial articles becoming overburdened with gender permutations and qualifications. I plan to do a dedicated section on this to follow.
