 Are Aries and Cancer Compatible?

When it comes to this combination, they can work as a couple. It is one of those scenarios in which opposites attract each other sometimes. This combo takes a lot of work to get off the ground.

The only thing they need to keep in mind is that it’s bound to generate excitement and explore the differences that they have with one another, but it may also trigger some grievance as they navigate the waters.

Both are cardinal signs, seen as the “eager beavers” of the zodiac, with the Cancer being a water sign and Aries being fire.

When these two cardinal signs come together, they normally don’t get along since fire and water don’t mix. The blending of the two together creates what are often perceived as frictions and challenges that they have to face in the relationship.

Their personalities and their styles are rather different from one another, even though they both tend to be assertive and a leader in life.

Cancer can be considered highly emotional, caring and commanding when they need to be. Aries at the same time can be bossy as well, pushy, sassy on the other side of things.

People who are born under the sign of Cancer tend to have a love for traditions and focus on things from their past, while the Aries like to try out new things in life and focus on what’s in the future, whilst at the same time leaving the past behind. Once again the opposite of one another.

Aries can come off quite a bit cold emotionally at times in a relationship, whereas cancer is very sensitive when it comes to emotions, and quite overly emotional when things start to get really tough for them.

This is why the Aries can come across as too dominating and harsh for the cancer to deal with.

The interesting aspect of this combination is that their attraction to each other is quite strong due to the friction that they have with each other. This aspect is known to create a lot of passion between them. The fascinating part is they find this friction quite thrilling.

If they can find other things they have in common it can work out, but a lot of the time it fizzles out.

Experts Discuss This Couple:

Melissa: Comfort craving, nurturing Cancer gets scorched by the Ram.

Celia: The Crab’s pessimism puts a damper on your natural enthusiasm and confidence. Cancer understands your insecurities

Jenn:This match is not a match made in heaven. The domesticated and shy Cancer will have a hard time taming your enthusiastic ways.

However if you can learn to stop looking for new territories to conquer and can settle down with the home-loving Cancer, this can result in a beautiful relationship filled with trust and security.

Lidia: The best thing about these two star signs is that are both incredibly intuitive and you should be able to work out what each other wants or needs over time. Cancers are great confidence boosters and they always know the right thing to say at the perfect moments, so you are likely to feel very sure of yourself Aries, when in a relationship with a Cancer.

Laura: Both signs like to initiate action and these two will want to make things happen. Cancer will try to keep up with Aries, because the ram is seen as an intriguing challenge. Both may want the lead, but once again, Aries will likely win out in that department. Cancer’s sentimental side often pulls on Aries’ heart strings, as Aries fully appreciates Cancer’s emotional depth.

Tracy: Many Cancer signs hide their feelings and may act stronger than they really are. As the sign can be prone to moodiness and may sulk for long periods this clashes with the fun and direct nature of Aries. This combination of water and fire sign could be successful if they work together using both action and emotion in a positive manner.

Keley: This can be a very difficult pairing as Aries will find Cancer a little too sensitive, and Cancer can be easily hurt by Aries abruptness.

Marcus: It could start off interesting, but soon fade out. Cancer is a homebody and Aries a go after life type of person. There could be a lot of bitterness in a continued relationship, unless, someone is willing to bend. This relationship will most likely require a lot of hard work to keep it going.

David: You’re both lively and openly expressive. Cancer is emotionally sensitive, while Aries is to dominating the scene with fireworks –  to the frustration of the moody Crab
