Affinity of the two signs

★★☆☆☆ 2 out of 5

How the two signs relate

Aries is direct and outward-looking, while Cancer is protective and sensitive to mood. Each can admire what the other lacks: boldness on one side, tenderness on the other. Trouble arises when Aries' bluntness bruises Cancer, who then withdraws. Gentler wording and a little more openness about feelings help this pair find common ground.

Strength

Boldness and tenderness that can complete each other.

Challenge

Blunt words that bruise, followed by silent withdrawal.

The elements: Fire and Water

Fire with water. Fire is traditionally linked to action and candour, water to feeling and intuition. The mix can be intense, a little like steam: strong attraction and strong reactions. Things tend to go better when directness is softened and feelings are put into words.
