Aries men and Cancer women make easy friends when there’s no romantic pressure since they find their opposite qualities interesting. Aries and Cancer are both Cardinal signs, meaning these two are natural leaders. This can lead to a clash of wills sometimes. Aries is ruled by Mars (the planet of action and willpower) while Cancer is ruled by the Moon (the planet of feelings and the subconscious).

An Aries man responds well to flirtatious teasing. To attract him, all a Cancer woman has to do is make him a little mad and he’ll be wild for her. A Cancer woman can keep an Aries man interested by telling him how great he is or giving him any positive attention.
Aries men are passionate in bed and tend to seek instant gratification. For them, frequent and satisfying sex is a must in a relationship. A Cancer woman is more tender in the bedroom and sees sex as a way to communicate her love for her partner. Neither partner is particularly adventurous when it comes to sex. They’re both satisfied by the classics as long as their basic sexual needs are being met.
An Aries man piques a Cancer woman’s emotional interest in a way she may not have felt for anyone else before. When an Aries man feels secure enough to be vulnerable, he can be surprisingly sweet and open (contrary to his hotheaded outer shell).
When a Cancer woman is hurt, she’ll retreat into her shell and go unusually quiet. The Aries man needs to give her space until she’s ready to communicate. Conversationally, these two may run out of interesting things to talk about sometimes because of their lack of shared interests.
Aries men and Cancer women trust each other easily as friends, but may take a while to build an intimate level of trust as romantic partners.
An Aries man and Cancer woman tend to fall into traditional household gender roles, especially if they’re married or start a family. These two have complimentary abilities that make them a great parenting team should they decide to have kids.
These two will have to have a talk and set boundaries about how they use their money if they ever get married or link their finances. Aries men are generally worse at planning for the future than Cancer women. In this relationship, the Cancer will end up instigating talks about the future. An Aries’ impulsiveness can threaten a Cancer’s need for security and predictability, which can lead to arguments about more than just money.
An Aries man gets frustrated when he feels someone can’t keep up with him. He might interpret his partner’s slower approach as a lack of caring.
An Aries man also needs to ask how his Cancer partner is feeling to show he understands her (it’s best not to wait and hear about it later).
If a Cancer woman clings too much, an Aries man will feel threatened and retreat from the relationship.
