How compatible are Aries and Cancer?
I feel like I haven't heard much about how well romance works between a Cancer and Aries. It seems like a good match at first glance and looks like they get along. Is this combo one that works out or should I be cautious?

Aries and Cancer relationships can be a bit tricky because both signs like to be in charge. Cancers lead with emotion and want to help people feel better, but Aries might be more assertive with what they feel is best. It might be a little tough at first, but you can make a relationship work if you approach conflicts openly and honestly together.
When you are together, the sparks can fly romantically because you'll both want to feel close with the other person. You'll have fun experimenting in the bedroom and it'll be extremely passionate.

Aries need space to think and to be in their head, and they usually want people that can keep up with them mentally. If they're explaining something, make sure that you're paying attention so you don't have to ask the same questions over and over again.
Aries might not be as interested in long-term planning either, so maybe take on long-term planning yourself so they don't feel forced into doing something they're not invested in.

Cancer is ruled by the moon and is an intense water sign. They're the mothers of the zodiac. They can be shy, hesitant, and passive and they like their partner to intiate, especially when it comes to the physical intimacy. But, they tend to be really pushy about emotional matters.
Cancers are also sensitive to their environment, so keep that in mind when planning dates. They like dim lighting, soft music, and things like that.

I mean, a good amount of caution is good when you're evaluating a potential parter and trying to start up a new relationship, but don't let your caution hold you back from opening up to the other person and building a connection. I'd say Aries and Cancer can struggle to find common ground because Aries is direct and fiery while Cancer is sensitive and needs emotional security. This can lead to some hurt feelings and misunderstandings but if both signs work hard to communicate and are willing to compromise, they can be a great match!
