aries and cancer compatibility: fire meets feelings

why aries and cancer work

both are cardinal signs, which means both are starters. you both go after what you want and you both take charge, aries out in the world and cancer at home.

aries makes cancer feel brave and safe. cancer gives aries a soft place to land after a long day of fighting the world.

where it gets hard

• aries can be blunt, and cancer takes words to heart.
• cancer's moods can confuse aries, who wants things simple.
• aries wants action now. cancer wants to feel safe first.
• when hurt, cancer goes inside the shell and aries gets louder.

if you're the aries and he's the cancer

he is caring and very loyal, but he hurts easily. soften how you say things, not what you say. he will cook, remember and protect you, and he needs to hear that you are not going anywhere.

if you're the cancer and he's the aries

he is direct and fast and he goes after you hard. his bluntness is usually not meant to hurt. tell him what you feel in simple words, because he can't read moods, but he will fight for you.

the real answer is in both charts
