Some of the most important issues that this combination may have to contend with are basic ego clashes and misunderstandings.  Why?  This is because they are truly coming together from totally different angles.  The emotional watery temperament of the Cancer’s deep need for reassurance and displays of sensitivity seems never to be fulfilled  by the Aries abrupt independence.  There is a bit of a challenge here due to the non-compatible styles of self-expression.  This is one of the main reasons why these two signs may either not appeal to each other, nor do they blend enough to be compatible.

Your Cancer mate is soft, maternal, nurturing, caring and considerate.  Often times Cancer may misunderstand the Aries and view them as being insensitive, inconsiderate or bossy.  These experiences can build up resentments for Cancer, causing resistance or a reluctance to carry on the relationship.  Aries will have many frustrating emotional challenges as Cancer’s moods can fluctuate on a daily basis, like the swift motion of the moon passing through a variety of twelve different responses within a period of one month.

Let’s define some of these possible sensitive reactions on the part of both the Aries as well as the Cancer, referring to them as “love lessons”.  During the early stages of courtship, your relationship may begin to show signs of differing views on such matters as to how a house-hold should be run, to the raising of children, as well as misunderstanding each others actions, attitudes and responses.  This can build up resentments making it an impossible task for Cancer to express their natural warmth to Aries.  Aries may not have enough patience to give Cancer the reassurance it longs for.

On the positive side, Aries will be sure to find a great warm home-cooked meal ready and a well kept home, for Cancer’s are experts on the home front, especially in the kitchen.  Since Aries needs to learn to develop patience, Cancer’s compassionate nurturing side will always be there ready to kiss all the boo-boo’s away.

The most important and similar trait that these two signs do possess is the fact they are both good in emergency situations.  Aries may take on the roll of the “bread winner”, while Cancer plays the role of “home-maker”.  Regardless of gender, these two can run a business together and work best together in such fields as the food industry, restaurant management, working from the home, or in real estate. 

Remember, Cancer needs lots of TLC and Aries may not be patient enough to even take notice.  The best way for Aries to blend with Cancer is to just take a moment to give a show of appreciation with a loving glance, a kind word, or a gentle hug.  That’s worth a million bucks to a Cancer!
