Aries and Cancer compatibility
The one who charges and the one who guards the door.
Aries: March 21 – April 19. Cancer: June 21 – July 22.
Are Aries and Cancer a good match?
Tradition calls it a hard match. Plenty of long loves are built on it, because neither of you gets to fall asleep.
I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.
What draws you together
Aries is drawn to the home Cancer makes, without quite knowing it was wanted. Cancer is drawn to someone unafraid, who might walk straight through the shell and not flinch.
The hard part
Aries says the blunt thing and has forgotten it by dinner. Cancer has kept it, wrapped carefully, for years. Each of you wants to lead, one from the front and one from the kitchen table.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit three signs apart, a ninety-degree angle astrologers call a square. You move through the world the same way, but in elements that do not agree. Tradition names this friction, and friction is also how a fire gets lit.
Fire and water make steam. One of you acts on a feeling while the other is still inside it, and each can feel the other is either too much or not enough.
You are both starters. Each of you expects to set the direction, so the question in this house is who leads, and when.
What each of you is really asking
Aries is asking: Will you still want me when I stop running at you? Aries brings nerve and fears being slowed down until the fire goes out.
Cancer is asking: Is it safe to come out of the shell? Cancer brings shelter and fears being left after showing the soft part.
The desire under the question
Aries wants a safe place to fall that does not feel like a cage. Cancer wants to be fought for without being fought with.
