Cancer and Aries form a square—a 90-degree angle. In astrology, this is a connection marked by tension, problems, and drama.
Personalities of Aries and Cancer
Aries is a fire sign, while Cancer is a water sign. They are very different in temperament. Aries is passionate, impulsive, hotheaded, and an extrovert. Cancer is shy, cautious, calmer, and an introvert. However, both are cardinal signs. This means that they are leaders and trendsetters.
Cancer natives are very caring, affectionate, and family-oriented. They are also intuitive and sensitive. They can become too clingy at times. Aries, natives, on the other hand, are aggressive and controlling. They can try to control the Cancer partner, and their aggression can hurt the latter. Cancer is the most giving sign in astrology, while Aries is the most self-centered.
While Aries embodies energy, strength, ambition, power, and courage, Cancer embodies love, generosity, and sentiments. When these two people come together, they can form a unique bond if they manage to overcome their differences. Aries’ charisma and confidence attract the shy and gentle Cancer, while the affectionate and caring Cancer wins Aries’ heart.
As Friends
As their signs form a square, these two will probably butt heads often, as they are very different. But if they are both mature and evolved personalities, they will be willing to learn from each other. Aries, for instance, can teach Cancer to be bold, take risks, and become more spontaneous. Cancer can help ground the emotionally volatile and unstable Aries with their loving and nurturing nature.
In Bed
Their sex life can be surprisingly good due to the tension between them. Aries is very passionate and experimental in bed. They like to try out new positions. Cancer brings a lot of emotional to their intimate moments. For Aries, it is the physical intimacy that takes precedence, so Cancer can bring some balance to this aspect. If Cancer is game with the sexual experiments, they can have a lot of fun in bed.
In a Relationship
Most people feel that Cancer and Aries are incompatible due to the differences in their nature. Aries loves to lead an adventurous life, while Cancer prefers to hunker down at home, which is a safe and comfortable space for them. Aries is a creature of impulse, while Cancer is very cautious. Aries is blunt and direct in speech, while Cancer is very sensitive. When in a rage, the Ram can walk all over the Crab, who will then retreat into their shell and sulk. But if they respect each other’s differences and communicate openly, they can have a reasonably good relationship.
In Marriage
If Aries and Cancer somehow end up getting married, it means that they are aware of what it will take to make the marriage work. They will know that effective communication and the willingness to compromise will be part of the package. A long-term, committed relationship between them can work if they can accept and appreciate each other’s differences. There can be a balance between Aries’ need for adventure and Cancer’s love of home and family.

The dynamic and ambitious Arian will make sure that the home-loving Cancerian has all that they need to create a warm and cozy nest for their family. It can be a loving and harmonious match where both play complementary roles.
Cons
Aries is ruled by the Fire element, while Cancer is ruled by the Water element. When Fire and Water combine, they tend to clash. As both are also cardinal signs, they can be rigid in their ways. Adapting and adjusting may be difficult for them.
Aries tends to control and dominate people. They can also be possessive. These traits can pose problems in their relationships. Their brashness can wound the gentle and sensitive Cancer.
On the other hand, Cancer’s clingy and domestic preoccupations can bore Aries, once the honeymoon period is over Fire signs desire high octane action and excitement, while Water signs seek tranquility and safety.
Conclusion
There’s no denying that the two are very different from each other. The fact that they form a square aspect means that many astrologers see them as fundamentally incompatible. But with compromise, communication, and an appreciation for each other’s differences, these two can form a partnership that’s both exciting and stable.
