Cancer/Aries
Sun Sign Compatibility
These two Sun signs conflict in their ways of approaching life almost as if the Cancer is jealous of the Aries for their strengths. Though Aries appreciates their lovable nature and devotion at first, their neediness will become tiresome. These two learn more about each other and their weaknesses than they do about each other as partners.
When working together, these two develop a healthier relationship. The space between them, both emotional and physical, gives them the ability to process internally their interactions and misunderstandings. In an intimate relationship, this would be too difficult for them due to their differing mindsets and personalities.
Modality Compatibility
The cardinal energy between these two withers over time. Cancer's passionate leanings and hopeless romantic beliefs woos the Aries at first, but Aries' need for an assertive partner overshadows the dynamic. A hot weekend romance or fling may happen, but reality may become a rude awakening.
Element Compatibility
The connection between this Water sign and Fire sign is quickly extinguished when Cancer's sensitivity is too much for the prideful Aries. These two conflict and react to each other in ways that make the pairing unstable. Cancer may be a great listener to Aries ideas, but will stop when the intense enthusiasm and lack of inclusion is overwhelming for the Cancer.
Energetic Strengths
Love and optimism are the strengths in this relationship. Cancer's ability to love and be loved ignites Aries enthusiasm from the beginning, but the momentum may only be momentary. The best option for this relationship is one that is only fleeting and both partners view it that way. A lot of growth can be gained by choosing to view the relationship as temporary instead of long term.
Energetic Challenges
Because Cancer internalizes their feelings, Aries may be leaping too much ahead and possibly making assumptions. The communication challenges between these two make it hard to create a lifelong commitment. There will be a lot of arguing from the Aries and a lot of silence from the Cancer who may be unwilling or unable to communicate how they really feel. These two will benefit from the experience by learning how to have a productive argument and resolve issues without resentment or forcing the other to overcompensate.
How to Create Astrological Balance
This relationship is fraught with challenges that can only be overcome if each does their own personal growth. These two coexist better in the workplace than in a romantic relationship where they can focus on goals outside of themselves. A short term romantic relationship between these two is the best opportunity, as they can both grow from the experience through temporarily loving one another.
