Through their preliminary encounters, Aries and Cancer see the energy they each inherently possess whereas intuitively understanding they’ve one thing that the opposite lacks. The Ram’s horns and the Crab’s shell are equally powerful, and so they admire each other’s fortuity, as that’s one thing they each search for in a associate.
While astrology sometimes deems this partnership to be a difficult one, on account of their sq. side, there are various secrets and techniques of their synastry that make this pair extra magical than they might appear on the floor.
Aries and Cancer have completely different forces and vibrations to which they join, due to their various elemental natures. Aries vibes to the feverish hearth ingredient, whereas Cancer is of the cool blue water ingredient. Cancer intuitively is aware of that Aries wants a few of their water to chill their heels, and Aries feels as if Cancer might use a few of their hearth to heat their melancholy moods. If they’ll discover a cautious stability between their components, they’ll make some beautiful steam.
One factor that they do have in frequent is that they each categorical themselves within the cardinal modality, which suggests they each like to steer—but they do that in very other ways.
Aries enjoys (and desires) to be on the forefront, whereas Cancer enjoys taking the lead as nicely however prefers to take pleasure in taking cost in a distinct and extra obscure method. Aries fees full drive forward, whereas Cancer skims back and forth like a crab on the seaside. Their Cardinal modality makes them natural-born leaders, which helps them perceive each other—but when they don’t seem to be on the identical web page about one thing, it could possibly trigger some main divergencies.
There might be instances once they argue about who will get to be boss, so they need to compromise by strolling hand in hand in order that nobody is in entrance or behind however relatively facet by facet.
Aries can also be dominated by Mars, the planet of battle, whereas Cancer is dominated by the Moon, the orb of nurturing. These planets couldn’t be any extra completely different, however they’re each highly effective in their very own proper. Aries has Mars to thank for his or her brash impulsivity, and Cancer has the Moon accountable for his or her many moods.
As I clarify in my e-book, Sun Signs in Love, “Aries must bear in mind on the powerful days that Cancer is fantastically delicate and that finally they are going to come out of their shell. It is Cancer’s protectiveness that actually melts the Aries’ coronary heart. The Ram has Mars, planet of battle, to thank for their very own energy. Even although Aries exudes a robust impression and is understood for his or her sturdy will and fiery mood, Cancer will nonetheless wrap their arms across the Ram, making them really feel actually cared for.”
