Aries & Cancer

This combination usually makes for a difficult match. Cancer natives are ruled by the Moon, which makes them by nature moody, sentimental and secretive. They also tend to live in the past and have a difficult time forgetting serious quarrels or disagreements that may have occurred early in a relationship. The secretive character of Cancer has the potential of clashing with the open nature of Aries. Although Aries can also be a moody individual, such moodiness is not as prevalent as that of Cancer. When two moody people live together, the end result can be chaos. However, since one can counteract the other, it could just as easily result in a good balance. For example, Aries might be in a wonderful mood but the Cancer partner is not. Aries may be successful in cheering Cancer and thus create a balance. The risk, of course, is that the reverse may happen.

What may be of little concern to an Aries subject may be extremely traumatic to one governed by Cancer. Although Cancer will hold on with the tenacity of a crab, there is a tendency to back away from situations which may have been hurtful in the past.

This combination finds fascination in each other at the beginning, but sexual attraction often fades in the face of many temperamental differences. Aries leaps without looking while Cancer is cautious. Cancer loves hearth and home but Aries hates to be tied down. Resentments can build and then arguments ensue over trifles. Aries possesses a sharp tongue that frequently wounds the more vulnerable Cancer. The more aggressive the Aries individual becomes, then the more defensive Cancer becomes. Often, there is far too little compatibility to work with and, when Cancer starts to nag, then Aries starts to look for a way out.

I love Aries men,,,just something about them

see, this is funny. i'm an aries female, sag moon, cancer ascending and pisces in venus. my cancer guy is gemini moon, gemini mars, sag ascending. he's got alot of the cancer traits, but is very athletic and loves to travel. he's also very intellectual. loves to discuss ideas. he is dominant, protective and sensitive. very demonstrative in love and a one woman man. (a MUST for me!!) i am the typical warrior, selfish, childlike, impulsive jokester type of aries. i've been called a fighting diva. whatever. but romantically, against type, i am NOT dominant. i don't give up all power or act in any way like a doormat, but i'm not the boss within a romantic or erotic construct. and i have no desire to be. he, however, definitely does. and the romantic side between us is absolutely magical.
i am very willing to compromise and am considered to be very easy going. he's more structured and in control. i never nag and i refuse to be bossy. he is very willing to try new things and has very little attachment to things from his past, his home and neither one of us want children. so, i think that while the surface may say nay, dig deeper and find the whole picture. it could be a different story. he and i are actually very balanced and happy. i've known him for two years, btw.
