I'm not exactly sure about is to make your friend happy. Everyone is different. Try not to crowd her but pop in every now and then to let her know you're there for her. Sending her an owl was nice. Wish her well and listen to her if she ever decides to open up to you on how she's feeling.
As and Aries myself, I don't like to burden people with how I'm feeling. I leave people in the dark and I like to figure things out on my own. Sounds selfish but I feel it's a lot better than complaining and whining to someone about my life. Especially something that can be fixed.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I think the cancer-pisces dynamic can work if other chart elements support it and the individuals are a tad more aware. Those two were sort of unstable individually as it was, and when combined it was like kaboom.
I don't know about you guys (purr, bommy, any other cancer who wants to chime in), but I NEED an emotional spouse or things will fall apart. I would actually prefer a little more neuroticism to aloofness, as it has the ironic effect of keeping my own neurotic tendencies in check.

We've been together just over one year. (But he has been talking a lot lately about being together forever).
I'm an Aries with lots of water in my sign so I'm sensitive and emotional and can relate to my Cancer who's the same. I am more independent than he is though and less needy than he is. I'm very nurturing and like to take on traditional female tasks such as cooking, cleaning etc. and letting him be the "man" so to speak. Someone mentioned that a Cancer with Gemini in Venus wouldn't prefer a dominant woman. I agree. My Cancer has this placement and definitely prefers to be the more dominant one in the relationship.
Do his natural traits rub you the wrong way at the beginning? How did it work?
His sensitivity initially took me by surprise. I'd never met a man as emotional as him. But I discovered that I like it. His neediness usually makes me feel good - if it's me that he needsBut sometimes it's a bit smothering.
Cancer want the object of their affection with complete single mindedness....it's a very private world for two. I have been given to understand that Aries like their lovers to want them in exclusion of anything else. So that sort of makes it a good match...but what's the point at which Cancer's affection gets smothering?
Secondly, Cancer loves to be pampered and receive gratitude for the things that they do for their lovers, Aries forgets everything in 15 mts, how do you balance that?

Maybe their controlling nature leads them to the weak, because they can do just that... Control them.

Do Aries tend to have a lot of compassion towards the weak? Like when people depend on us for strength and assistance.
I just don't seem to have it in me to ignore and reject those who are in need and flee the scene without at least asking them what's wrong
Especially if they don't have anybody else to turn to.
Any other Aries feel the same way? Do you find that your nurturing side comes out in situations like these?....or not really? lol

I wonder why I'm not running into guys leno think like you Pothead? And I'm a lot older than you so these are grown ass men I'm talking about. I'm 35 about to turn 36. The men are all between 32-45. And I like your take on it. Maybe they were cookiemonster made, lol. That makes me feel better. I just thought in today's day and age, men were okay with the tables being turned. Or is it that the men have the advantage now days and not even a quality chick has a chance in today's dating world?
Perhaps you are dealing with an older generation not use to it yet?
This could be true. It could be the age range and mentality that comes with that.click to expand
