The Ram and The Moonchild
This series on AstroCompatibility will cover all of the potential matchups in the Zodiac. We will continue this series thinking about and commenting on Aries and Cancer. You can new info at Christofer's new website: http://www.astrologygetalong.com.
Aries - Cancer
Cancer's romantic aspect is based in domesticity and Aries is not necessarily thinking about the home when it is checking out availabilities. . These signs are both "Cardinal", which means they share an Action Oriented approach to what they do. However, Aries is Fire and Cancer is Water. So Cancer's actions, and they are definitely action-based people, are thoughtful and conscious and based in the slow approach rooted in hearth and home. Aries' Fire and Aries' Cardinality means Aries is action times TWO.
The Aries in pursuit of the Cancer sets up a "not so fast, guy" picture. It's not that a Cancer would be shy, but there is too much inner steel to be thought of as "easy". But the Cancer and the Aries can create a kindled fire. The Cancer not shy, necessarily, but a little more consciously hesitant, might find the more firey and outgoing Aries very appealing. Aries can start the conversation and Cancer can finish with a well-considered Cancerian clever rejoinder. This is a good potential for compatibility.
Positive Postulate:
Since Aries and Cancer share "cardinality", there is a basic match up here. This is especially important with cardinal signs because they "charge first and ask questions later". The two of them could create a dynamic family together. Positively speaking, these signs could be a public and dynamic pair. Regardless of how the genders work, it seems a pairing that could be serious. Cancer would consider slowly, Aries would act when they agreed, and then Cancer could support. Aries intelligence and brightness would be appreciated by Cancer.
Romance Recommendation:
Aries and Cancer would have a very high romance factor, as long as Cancer would not slip into a depressive mood state and Aries would not lose its sharp temper. Offending and being offended could be a romance dampener.
Conflict Quotient:
Aries and Cancers have tempers! Aries starts it and Cancer finishes it. Whoa. Watch out. They will definitely have many discussions - long discussions. You see Cancer, regardless of gender will not be intimidated and Aries moves forward with its issues on its lips. This is not a death sentence. It just means they will have to reconcile and work things out. The benefit here is that there will not be too many unspoken, unexpressed problems.
Peace Parlay:
Life in the end is repetitive and mundane, and so is Romance itself. This factor asks the question: "Can we be bored together over the long term?" Cancer and Aries might not be able to stand boredom, but as they get older, they might need it. Cancer "blues" should be watched for here. Aries may over estimate its rightness and become wearing.
Keep Up The Interest Graph:
Cancer and Aries are a good "keep up the interest" signs, but Aries should stop looking over the fence and flirting at picnics. Cancer is not likely to ruin this relationship, unless they become profoundly hurt or disappointed. Aries may forget how fortunate it is, until something shakes them up.
Seven Year Itchiness:
There are some signs that by their nature are more stable in their love interests and family concerns, as time goes on. Others are not. There are Cardinal signs on both sides here. That means action could be taken by either during the 7 year itch time. Cancer is more likely to think about it and imagine it, much more than Aries. Aries could stumblie into it, not knowing that its subconscious might be overly engaged in the prospect of infidelity.
RATING:
ASTROCOMPATIBILITY POSSIBILITY RATING: 80% Positive Long Term - 50% Short Term. This has a better chance the older the relationship gets. Cancer should watch the weight. Aries should care less about losing its youth. The newer this relationship is, the more possibility that it might not work. But once they get going, these two cardinals could keep going on sheer momentum.

Interesting.....actually the first positive I have heard on this match. Still a bit of a struggle after 16 years.......Thanx! I'm the Aries ; GPAGE
Wonderful Article! While the sun signs carry a lot of weight, you also have to keep in mind a person's Rising sign and Moon sign. As I'm an Aries with a Gemini Rising and a Pisces Moon, while my husband is a Cancer with a Leo Rising and Leo Moon. That puts a whole different aspect into the relationship.
One of the first positive reviews on Aries-Cancer. I do beleive it can work. I attract mostly Aries. (I'm the Cancer female) and I am the one who breaks their hearts or ends all communication with them. lol. But now I've found a great Aries. Perhaps it's because I'm a Cancer with a Sag Rising and every other fire sign in my chart. He's an Aries with a Cancer Rising and a lot of Pisces and Taurus in his chart...could this be why he's the laid back, quiet one, and I'm the energetic, outgoing one?
( ;
Yup, this really is the first more positive review on the cancer/aries match and I definitely find my couple in it more. I'm an aries female with rising cancer and moon in libra. He's the cancer male with cancer rising and moon in pisces. I think I've found my man! :)
THIS IS THE "FIRST" EVER CANCER ARIES COMPATIBILITY READING I HAVE SEEN THAT ACTUALLY DIGS DEEPER TO BEYOND "COMMERCIAL" HOROSCOPES TO PROVE THE EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH COMPATIBILITY FACTOR OF THESE 2 SIGNS. I THANK U. I AM A CANCER. I HAVE DATED AN ARIES. WE CAUGHT UP OVER MONEY ISSUES ME STRUGGLING IN BETWEEN JOBS (RETAIL WORK IS NOT ALWAYS THE MOST STEADY WORK) N HER NOT FEELING APPRECIATED ENOUGH BY ME N STUFF. I STILL THINK ABOUT HER. I BELIEVED N OUR COMBINED ENERGIES, I LOVED TO HEAR HER LAUGH, N DO OUR DISCUSSIONS AS HEATED AS THEY COULD GET SOMETIMES (IT ALWAYS LED TO BETTER HEAT OF A DIFFERENT KIND) I STILL THINK OF HER...LIFE IS CRAZY THO.
THIS IS JUST THE INFORMATION I NEED CAUSE IVE ONLY KNOWN THE GUY FOR ABOUT 2/3 MONTHS BUT IM GOING TO WAIT LONGER TILL I MAKE MY NEXT MOVE JUST HE IS SO TEMPTING OMG URGGG:( BUT IT MIGHT JUST WORK OUT AND IM THE CANCER 69
It's a good article. I'm the Cancer and he's the Aries. We've been together 9 years. The relationship was 50/50 until about 14 months ago. It's going bad now. What do I do?
Becki, I'm a fellow Cancer myself. When you say 50/50 and then in the next sentence say things are going bad now, who has the upper hand in the relationship? Perhaps a weekend getaway might help you two out or just doing something simple like taking a walk or going to the Zoo. Anything where the two of you can be, well, the two of you without your friends or family there to interupt. Hang in there & I wish you two the best.
hi..this is for the first time that i read something positive about aries and cancer together.i m a cancerian and he is aries.we have been together for 3 and half years.now he says he is no ready for commitment,but iknow he still likes me.so i dont know what to do,i should persue him or let things the way dey r
WOW!!! This is the first time I hear about a positive feedback because they usually have negative things to say about Aries and Cancer. I have 5 years with my boyfriend and to be honest we are really different. I'm a Aries and he's a Cancer. He his really sensitive and I have a sharp toung. We fight today and tomorrow we'll be fine but, I feel that we are already use to each other and I feel is bad.. Sometimes I feel my realtionship is not going to work but hey what can I do.. The best thing is to keep it moving. I notice though that when me and him fight I usually look for him and he doesn't look for me. In this case I am the more sensitive one!! Thanks for the positive feedback of these two signs!
I'm an Aries with my ascendant in cancer and I just started dating a girl that's cancerIan, I must say that I was very happy to read this article since it seems to have much more depth and facets to it, rather than just saying the relationship is doomed from the start. But how important is the ascendant sign? I don't always feel lime I can identify myself with all the stereotypical Aries traits?
wow this is surprising I always get negative feedback. The only men I've ever dated were Cancers. I find them to be calming just what I need.
I have NEVER read a positive pairing for Aries and Cancer. It is very true though. My husband (Cancer) and I (Aries) have been together for (mostly) 22 years. It has not been easy, we've thrown the towel in several times when we were younger. As we've aged (49 & 47) though, we understand our differences more, so we handle them better. Don't get me wrong we still have those major standoffs, but they don't damage like they used to.
To the young lady who stated Cancers are calming like she needs...me too girlfriend! And to YUMI, I am also the one who goes to him after a fight feeling badly...funny hunh?
Thanks for the reminders!
wow, this is me and my fella! we've been seeing each other for 6 months but he lives 50 miles away and its hard. i was married for 21 yrs to a gemini (im the cancer) and was never truely happy but im not even sure my aries fella can give me what i want in life cus he seems emotionally closed and can be very UNpassionate ha! problem is i love him..... help
i love the part about flirting at picnics lol im the aries! i love my bootyface dearly,but i definately always think im right and i definately need to stop looking over the fence. i love it. i would be lost without my muffin, he keeps my feet on the ground. im always somewhere else in my head, dreaming up schemes ideas all this great stuff, and when im blabbing on about it he listens ( or pretends to listen and watches sportscenter which is infuriating lol)and tells me hes behind me all the way... very romantic, definately a homebody, when we step out even then he likes me doing my sexy thing but still kinda conservative. i think his favorite parts of our nights out are coming home (tipsy!) to cuddle and love....aww babe...
Wow i am a aries and i have all the aries traits.. I just met a cancer woman and have been hanging out on a daily basis..She is a wonderful person and i feel very at home around her that has lead me to research this ..Im a fraid im in love .So this artical has been welcome news.
Very interesting. 6 years ago I dated an Aries, Im a pretty typical Cancer guy... Initially the attraction was incredible and the romance was amazing. Her nature was serious, yet outgoing, while Ive been goofy/playful, while a little more introverted. We could communicate on such a deep level, and were viewed by our friends as the perfect couple. Over time we ended up bickering daily were and forced to split after a year and a half. Looking back though, I can see this working out with more effort. But we were both pretty young at the time and developing new paths in life. Had we been aimed at similar goals however, this could probably have worked out a lot better. I think the future vision needs to be the same for both in order for this to work, and when it does its pretty good. Ie.. never achieve your mutual goals (haha), or agree on new future ones together. Thats the key! : )
its ever d 1st tym i,m having a gud feeling abt our relation i,m cancerian n hez aries n dis article abt d relation,compatibility n carrying out vd each other z truly truly truly out ov d world its amazing..............it really helps hw to carry on more evenly..n d most outrating thng z dat it has too many thingz positive 4cancer n aries...thanks 4 such a nice article!
Great hub. I am the cancer and he is the aries, and after 3 years of dating he told me he was not ready for commitment - I have been waiting for a year now but he feels still the same. Our bond was (is?) very strong and I deeply love him, but somehow it seems we won't work this out. I do feel sad and depressed, and I know this puts him off even more.
"Cancer would not slip into a depressive mood state and Aries would not lose its sharp temper." This is exactly what happened...

This actually did feel encouraging to me and gives me hope. I'm in this state where it feels hard though. My boyfriend (Cancer) and I (Aries) have been together for 18 months. The first 3 months were absolute romantic bliss (he actually DROPPED his guard and was so free and open with me which he said he never done with another woman!)...then, things started falling apart. I made a LOT of mistakes and really hurt him sporatically from 3-10 months (it wasn't intentional...I just felt "lost" and the secure feeling he felt disappeared)... Granted, we love each other, but I want the romantic bliss again - I want to feel appreciated and want to rebuild the trust we had. He knows I'm loyal to him...but he said that he lost his motivation to be romantic. I want it back...*sigh*
Im aries and im a bit surprised. he is amazing but too complicated.. I want to be stable but he prefers to be unstable. He is more a family boy and am not.
But when im with him i feel so happy and comfortable...
hopefully it works at some point.
Thanks for this article, i feel more confident about my relationship with an Aries (man)
I believe the Aries & cancer union is felt on a v. Gutteral level. There are not many levels between these two warriors, the choice between two comrades or lovers? What an interesting choice... Communicating with someone on the same level along with the raw energy that accompanies that...... or the safe choice and meet someone else more safe(less heart pounding)....where you can pretend to have the same passion & purity. I am an Aries who loves her Cancer man dearly, we have been together off and on for two years
I have recently reconnected with my true friend a cancer.
the point all of you selfish aries miss is that cancers are absolutely loyal how wonderful it is to be with someone so honest and protective I truly love my friend.
LOL Cancer FRIENDS are very loyal, it's true...cancer LOVERS....well, that's a different story. I have heard many, MANY horror stories. If you happen to pick up an insecure Cancer, you're in trouble.
Anyway, with regards to this article, it is actually the first one i've found focusing on the positive factors of the match. I actually find Aries independence to work WITH Cancers, as a lot of Cancers need their own space as well. It's definitely not an easy match, but I think one that can work with patience (which is hard for Aries, LOL)
Wow, this is amazing. This is the only article that digs deeper into the aries/cancer relationship. I think I've found love, and I do really love him, and yes, we fight, yes, I get moody, and yes, he's temperamental sometimes, but we know we can talk to each other about anything. There is nothing we can't share and talk about, even though it means there could be a fight. So even though we have our days, we know that it can possibly work. :) Thanks for the positive feed. :)
I'm the cancer if you couldn't tell :) 69 :)
This is the first time I've ever read a positive anything about Cancer/Aries love match. I've known my Aries man since we were kids and now that we're older, I feel like we may finally be on the same page. Its just amazing after all this time thinking that he is like the worst match for me ever, that there is a bright side after all. I feel like its about time the horoscope caught up with our feelings for each other :) Its been 12 years in the making and i'm excited about the future. Thanks for this article!
As everyone has said this is the first positive match for these signs. I'm the cancer and he's an Aries. We live so far from each other but this gives me a bit of hope. I can relate to what most people have said here. He has the fiery temper and I'm the sensitive moody one, he tends to keep his emotions in check and I lay it all out there. The beginning of our relationship was similar to what others have described, he is a talker and constantly tried to bring me out of my shell. I'm always attracted to guys like this I find them so intriguing. Alas I think the distance has become too much for him and he can no longer take it...
I'm a cancer female with an aries rising he is a aries male with a cancer rising. We been dating now for 7 months on and off and can't seem to get it right. In the begining it was wonderful we talked all day all night sex was like we were making love cple months past by I want a relationship he dosnt then next thing u knw we not speaking then we are speaking then we not again... I can't help but think of him (we not speaking again) how can we make this work?
I met my Aries man 6 years ago, and we were together for 3 years. It had its trying moments,mostly with me being insecure and codependent, and him wanting more freedom. We had a child together and I could tell he was longing for his old life of not being tied down and being free. I was holding on to old resentments even though we would discuss them and he thought that once we were finished talking, it was done with, but I just couldnt seem to let it go. well, we ended up splitting up, he didnt see his son very much, but he always told me he still loved me, and I still loved him. We had a connection that 3 years apart couldnt break. We both had other relationships in that time, but still had feelings for eachother. He just recently came back into our lives, and in the time we were apart, Ive learned to let go of the past, to be more independent and to let the little things go, and hes realized how much he wants his family and wants to be with me. So I let him go and it took 3 years for him to come back. Now I think were going to be stronger than ever, especially because we both understand how our behaviours affected our relationship the first time around.this is a great article and it adds positivity to the matchup, thank you.
Sam are you still with the Cancer woman? You are the Aries with the Cancer Ascendant. How is that working out?
i'm 19, my first boyfriend of four years is an aries, we've been friends for a year now and im moving away to uni in a month, i still love him and if we got back together i probably wouldnt go to uni but he says were better off as friends as for some reason it just didnt work...this article was nice to read the positive sides to this match :)
My wife is Cancer(25 years old) and I'm Aries(23 years old). She want to divorceme, atleast that what she says. I usually perdicts what my wife gon do, I ain't sure what to think, I thought I knew her well. I cheated on her. Then eventually she had an affair with another guy, I wasn't thinking when I cheated, now I regret it. She like tha best thing ever happen in my life. I'm really stuggling trying to save my marriage. Something deep inside of me telling me that she not gon divorce me but I don't know. I mean, I was tha first one saying I want a divorce but I didn't really mean, I only was saying it because I felt like wasn't important to her. But agree with this passage about Cancer - Aries Relationship. I think me and my wife could work. I need to work on my selfishness and we both need to work on our communication skills and stop jumping to conclusions. The least thing I'm worried about is her and ol dude. My wife is awesome, she is really. I cheated because of selfish reasons, I wasn't understanding... But now if I get my wife back, I would never ever cheat on her again in my life... And Aries do learn lessions, especially when it hurt them...
I am a cancer and my husband is an aries. We have been married over 12 years, and have what some would term an ideal relationship. We rarely fight, but occasionally bicker. We have dealt with thick and thins, we ground each other and keep each other in check. I believe this sign match can truly be amazing.
I love my Aries man. I think maturity is the key. We never want to offend the other and though at times i feel so insecure really i have no legitimate reason. His strength is all I need. But what I realize is that he is easily pushed away by my insecurity so actually he helps me grow and he grows because of the love I have for him, One that appears he has never had or one like mine.(ours)
Hi, I totally agree with everyone.. Im a Cancer and my bestfriend is a Aries. We love another sooooo Deeply that we can tap in each others dreams.
i'm an aries that only attracts to cancers and it's been a tough road for me. my boyfriend now is a cancer and i know that are signs rarely together for a long time and im just basically trying to change what they say about the two signs but i cant it's like i love him so much but i feel like the way he's moving he doesn't love me as much as i love him and even though he might say he does his actions scream something different and i'm at a point in my life were i want to settle and be with him till we grow old but it doesn't seem like were going to make it i dont know what to do i tell me self to let him go but i can't because my love wont let me
really hmmmm
my aries husband of 10 years and me split for 2months and he dated an cancer girl he said she was controlling jealous and was too clingy it didnt workout he begged for me back and i made him sweat it out by the way i have a sag moon scorpio sun sign and sag rising he has sag moon sign aries sun sign Gemini rising
I am a cancer woman so in love with my x aries man...it feels like im going crazy bcuz I miss him so much..i wnt him bacc bt I wnt him to chase me....wn,we was together he stressed me out bt my heart is literally hiz!... Help im so stuck wht do I do!!!??+
I agree with Meg I am the Cancer Female and HE is the Aries
We NEVER argue - We are generations apart but i feel he is my soulmate - When he goes into his sharp tounge mode and his over Arian ways - I just listen and be there for him when the time is right i say what i need to say and we have a constant harmony - I pray this will be my last love - I usually do not get on with Arian men but this one is my world- My right hand man dont know what i did with out such a bond in my life - Us cancerians must use alot of our strength too fight through our emotional, insecure, moments, find your higherself and believe in his love and your love for him- and in turn we are not wrong we are the sign of loving and so we love.
I almost got married to a capricorn and i thought that was love but this is beyond love - i almost feel it is not a strong enough word for how much i feel for him.
With patience and understanding Aries - Cancer is the way
Well I apparently am a lucky cancer (female)..I say that because I am in love with my aries male...now not to toot my own horn cause I do have anxiety and yes I do get insecure sometime nd dont even know y but I am a very very attractive young woman and I even look better than my aries fella:)..but to me I dont care about appearance..he does I juss want LOVE....but I say im lucky cause even if he has a wandering eye nd flirts nd stuff..its horribly making him look extreamly dum because all the girls he flirts wit envys me because im a diamond and there rocks :)..im sorry no offence bt its true...even my aries fella friends are attracted to me..and I keep heads turning..(NOT TO TOOT MY OWN HORN)...but it I kno it makes him mad tht im u kno cutter than him and beautiful on the insude out...its dnt get me wrong hes a cutie bt whr cn I say im a angel:)...btw im nt wit him at this moment...we I broke up,wit him alot cause he wasnt takin care of home....but im still his wifey and I love him dearly
I am Cancer and honestly there is something inexplicable that draws me to Aries. I love the fact that these stubborn people are so fiery and at the same time I hate them deeply :) One of the main problems is the fact that they are too independent while I like to dominate (my ascendant is Aries) and to be in a more profound relationship. I had a boyfriend that is Aries and, as strong as I am, I couldn't handle him - he dominated me in a way that I can't explain and actually it was pretty self-destructive for me. recently I tried oncee again with an Aries male and the same happened - instant connection, very passionate, but he wants his freedom (to call and to meet whenever he wants etc., which is something I am not ready to compromise with). At the same time he is really rude sometimes, which, as you know, is not something that a moody Cancer likes :) That is why I always challenge him with words (he says that I am too philosophical, while he isn't so prone to discuss emotions and deeds). It si not going to work out and it is not because there isn't an attraction - on the contrary - but because we speak different languages. I prefer domestic surroundings, more peaceful places, the company of my friends and interesting experiences, while he is far more conventional - he likes to keep love life away from his friends and is far less creative than me when it comes to actions.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'm a moody crab and have a date with an Aries on Saturday...Not sure what to think from all of the above.
Im a cancer n he's an aries. We've been together for more than a year. It started as what I would call "the best" n "most romantic" feeling everrr. But later my emotional n insecure side started to show. We fought alot! Actually only I start the arguements. Its always me who starts it, mainly cause I feel insecure. But thru all the fights, I start becoming less paranoid n started to understand him more n not misunderstand him. so far its been going great. I also tried to focus more on family n my studies, n not be too clingy with him. N I realized that was the trick! Cancer needs to loosen up n try to put the put their feet in the aries shoe before thinking to not trust them or start an arguement. Give aries space n freedom n let them know ur always there. Dont be like the wife who controls her husband- by now u shud know aries like to do things their way so no point stopping them. let them fly n they will be more happier when with u, n they will make u feel happy too in return. An aries, when happy can make his/her cancer feel so happy!!:D n to a cancer, whatever an aries does, even just a small appreciation or hug , can make the cancer feel secure n blissful. Goodluck to you n me! -elle
This article had inspired me and as I read all the comments, I feel very much inspired and truly appreciate my friendship with an Aries man. (I'm a Cancer female) We've been best friends for 3 years, and I'm really happy that he came into my life. As I observed, an Aries man is usually funny and likes to tell jokes with other people, is also sweet and thoughtful, and he is really encouraging me to give my best in whatever I do, especially in my studies. He is one of those people whom I can really count on. And it's also true that UNDERSTANDING, LOYALTY and PATIENCE is the only key to work out this kind of Aries-Cancer relationship. I can say that an Aries-Cancer match or friendship is like a "magical relationship". The two signs have to make adjustments to understand each other. But being with an Aries man is like you're having a more stronger and more independent kind of friend. That truly understands no matter what. :)
There is so much to it then the mere sun sign in compatibility. It’s a mistake to take it out of the general context of both partners’ birth charts. Use your intuition, it is the strongest utility one possesses in any domain. You can use tools to help you connect with your intuition, such as tarot, or the Fortune Telling Roulette: http://www.wonderfulsoul.com/Fortune.aspx
This article offers hope... But i need some advise, maybe you can help me out. I am a cancer (male) she is an Aries, 28 and 25 years old respectevely. We´ve been casually hooking up for years but 6 months ago she broke up with me because she couldnt deal with long distance relationships and that she needed someone that could phisicaly be there everyday... as much as it destroyed me I respected her decision and stopped talking to her, HOWEVER about 6 weeks ago she came back, never admiting she missed me but it was clear she did.. 1 month ago we oficially became a couple for the first time, things are going great but I am feeling that cancer depression you mention and its driving me nuts... I want her to move in with me but i fear that will just scare her off, what do you suggest i do? Should I just ask her or give it more time or what? Ill be honest ive never been a believer in zodiac signs UNTILL i read this article and it actually applies perfectly to our relationship, extremely impresive... PLEAAASE HELP ME, i love this girl to death and I know shes the one

Nice information, but in some points I a bit disagree. Maybe I'm not a typical Aries =) I'm also interested in astrology, if you want you can look through my hub http://hubpages.com/hub/How-does-characteristic-of
