These are two cardinal signs – both strong, intense characters. This means the fire of Aries is like a Bunsen burner and the water of Cancer is a powerful jet. In astrology water signifies a sensitive zodiac sign with strong emphasis on emotions and nurturing, whereas fire indicates someone adventurous, direct and impulsive. These two opposites mean that the rash actions of Aries can often hurt the sensitive feelings of their Cancer partner. The fire of Aries works better with air signs such as Aquarius, or with less dominating signs, such as Virgo.
Passion at First Sight
Initially the attraction between these two signs is intense. It is a relationship of pure passion where opposites attract. Aries is a person who loves to act out their fantasies and often does not wait until they reach the bedroom to do so. It is also quick to anger.
Cancer is also sign of immense power, as well as deep sensitivity. They are both very controlling and possessive. As such, arguments are likely to be fiery and regular occurences, but the make up afterwards will be even steamier. The attraction here comes from the fact that Aries gets excited by the mystery of Cancer’s deep emotional nature, whilst Cancer is attracted to the passion offered by Aries, which they hope will convert into the caring romance they crave.
Problems with Cancer/Aries Relationships
The problem with this combination of star signs is making it last. Once the initial mystery and passionate attraction has faded there is an obvious clash between what these two signs want from life and their partner.
Sensitivity is a word that is lacking from Aries’ dictionary so they will often cause offense to Cancer. Cancer is not a sign to take this lying down though. Cancerian moods are legendary and the conflicting arguments between the two signs in a relationship could end up being a serious problem for the relationship. In time, as differences become more stark, even the make up afterwards could become half hearted.
