✦ COMPATIBILITY ✦
♈ Aries × ♋ Cancer
You want the same things at different speeds. The attraction is real and so is the grinding — this pairing either sharpens both of you or wears both of you down.
This is Fire and Water — one burns off feelings, the other sits in them.
Aries falls fast and says so. They court hard, get bored by hesitation, and read a slow reply as a lack of interest. Cancer loves by taking care of you. They give a lot early, then withdraw hard the first time it isn't returned.
The place this pairing actually breaks is predictable — the Aries habit is that they start more than they finish, and their honesty lands as bluntness long before they notice it did. Meanwhile Cancer needs reassurance said out loud. They will not ask for it, and they will absolutely notice its absence.
Aries needs someone who keeps pace and answers plainly. Games and silent treatment lose them faster than a fight ever would. Cancer needs reassurance said out loud.
